Courts operating in ‘extraterritorial quarters’ or districts as dispute resolution mechanisms have been overlooked in international economic law. Whether in the form of courts acting in special zones (e.g., International Zone of Tangier, 1923-1956; Qatar Financial Centre, 2005-present) or the retired common law judges acting in small ‘market-dominant’ jurisdictions, the ‘extraterritorial quarters’ offer unique cases of international economic law adjudication where multiple legal systems collide within one single city.
The online roundtable is a joint effort of the European Society of International Law (ESIL) International Economic Law and History of Internationational Law Interest groups, together with Ghent University, KU Leuven, and UC Louvain, that will connect researchers from different places working on various ‘extraterritorial quarters’ of the past and the present.
