Abstract
The human community of the world lives in closer quarters today than in earlier times. International trade is at an all-time high and is increasing steadily; international investment and monetary flows increase apace; businesses from the developed countries establish themselves all over the globe directly or through subsidiaries; business people travel abroad as a matter of routine; ordinary citizens in increasing numbers live temporarily or permanently outside their native countries. As a consequence, there are positive and productive interactions among citizens of different nations in tlle form of increased commerce and wider possibilities for personal experience and development. There are also inevitable negative interactions, however, including increased social friction, legal controversy, and litigation.
