This engaging book maintains that the philosophies of the present international institutional organizations coupled with the basic tenets of international arbitration - the lex mercatoria - hastens legal globalization and abrogates national sovereignty over international trade issues. Economic liberalism dominating the lex mercatoria is establishing a new world commercial legal order which inevitably shall also influence civil rights.
