Regulating Jurisdictional Relations Between National and International Courts

Description: This book investigates the growing jurisdictional interaction between national and international courts. In particular, it aims to explore what, if any, rules of international law could, or perhaps should govern such interactions, and regulate forum selection or multiple proceedings involving national and international courts. In addition, the book explores the standards of review employed by international courts vis-à-vis the decisions of their domestic counterparts and vice versa. It posits that the regulation of such interactions ultimately depends on the selection of the overarching paradigm that governs the relations between national and international courts (hierarchical as opposed to non-hierarchical and disintegrative or integrative conceptual frameworks).

Review Quotes: "The plethora of issues arising from the discussion of the themes tackled in this book cannot but further demonstrate its value: we are likely to face and to study similar matters repeatedly, and this book surely provides us with the rights theoretical framework and the suitable set of practical information and precedents which will definitely be of use to us in finding our way in these 'unchartered' lands."
