Reviews

`...Encyclopedic in scope... imaginative and provocative in its conceptual approach. With its careful reconsideration of first principles of the international legal system, on the one hand, and its practical analysis of competition-regulating principles derived from domestic and international law, on the other, it constitutes a definitive contribution to international legal scholarship on this subject of emerging importance. ' American Society of International Law, 2004 `a significant contribution...Yuval Shany's book offers an excellent exposition of how these issues have been dealt with by a wide range of international courts and tribunals. In making proposals to mitigate the problem of jurisdictional competition, his work is valuable both as a practical tool for those faced with such dilemmas, and also as an aid to better theoretical understanding of the emerging international juridical system.' Chester Brown, European Journal of International Law `Yuval Shany's book is an original, useful and timely response to the recent academic need to examine the phenomenon of competing jurisdictions in international law. It will undoubtedly retain its importance and significance in the foreseeable future.' The Cambridge Law Journal

This book deserves attention not only because of the timeliness the topic but also on account of the excellent academic treatment of the subject. Shany analyses the existing international law and the policy issues involved with thoroughness and precision. The result is an impressive work of legal scholarship. August Reinisch, ARIEL
