Regulatory Competition in Contract Law and Dispute Resolution
In large parts of the world and across the various territories, the law has become a product. Individuals and companies are looking for the most attractive legal system across borders. At the same time, various countries compete with others to promote their rights as goods of the highest quality (example: "Law made in Germany"). The analysis of this development and the development of proposals in the field of contract law and dispute resolution were the subject of a conference held in Munich in October 2011. The participants were leading scientists from Europe and the USA. This work contains the contributions to this conference.
The following topics are presented, among others: Legal regulations and economic growth | Legal Transplants | Theories on the Production of Private Law | Terms & Conditions | Rules on employee participation at the Societas Europaea | Choice of law and jurisdiction in Europe | Legal Competition in Contract Law | The Optional Instrument in European Contract Law | Civil Jurisdiction Competition | English vs. American Lawyers' Compensation System | Courts vs. Arbitration
