International Economic Law
Legal Issues
International economic law is more likely to fall under the rubric of public international law, as it deals with international economic relationships between states. See, for example, Petersmann, ‘International Economic Theory and International Economic Law: On the Tasks of a Legal Theory of International Economic Order’ in Macdonald and Johnston, eds, The Structure and Process of International Law: Essays in Legal Philosophy Doctrine and Theory, Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague, 1983, p 227; and Themaat, The Changing Structure of International Economic Law, Martinus Nijhoff, The Hague, 1981, pp 9-14.(1)
