Vesna Lazić & Steven Stuij 
International Dispute Resolution [PDF ebook] 
Selected Issues in International Litigation and Arbitration

The contributions in this book cover a wide range of topics within modern dispute


resolution, which can be summarised as follows: harmonisation, enforcement and


alternative dispute resolution. In particular, it looks into the impact of harmonised


EU law on national rules of civil procedure and addresses the lack of harmonisation


in the US regarding the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. Furthermore,
the law on enforcement is examined, not only by focusing on US law, but also on


how to attach assets in order to enforce a judgment. Finally, it addresses certain types


of alternative dispute resolution. In addition, the book looks into the systems and


cultures of dispute resolution in several regions of the world, such as the EU, the US and


China, that have a high impact on globalisation. Hence, the book is diverse in the sense
of dealing with multiple issues in the field of modern dispute resolution.





The book offers explorations of the impact of international rules and EU law on domestic


civil procedure, through case studies from, among others, the US, China, Belgium and


the Netherlands. The relevance of EU law for the national debate and its impact on the


regulation of civil procedure is also considered. Furthermore, several contributions discuss


the necessity and possibility of harmonisation in the emergency arbitrator mechanisms in


the EU. The harmonisation of private international law rules within the EU, particularly


those of a procedural nature, is juxtaposed to the lack thereof in the US. Also, the book


offers an overview of the current dispute settlement mechanisms in China.






The publication is primarily meant for legal academics in private international law and


civil procedure. It will also prove useful to practitionersregularly engaged in cross-border


dispute resolution and will be of added value to advanced students, as well as to those with


an interest in international litigation and more generally in the area of dispute resolution.
