International Business and National JurisdictionClarendon Press, 1988 - 216 pages Focusing on the relationship between historically exclusive spheres of sovereign interest and legal and practical requirements resulting from the modern transnational commercial environment, this comprehensive study explores American antitrust law and its application to the foreign actions of non-U.S. parties. Through a discussion of American and foreign legal decisions, the authors show how borderlines have been drawn by domestic courts between acceptable conduct abroad and activities that restrain American commerce, as well as how agreements and combinations by American and foreign companies have been treated in foreign courts. |
