About this book
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.
