Résumé / Abstract : Extraterritoriality is a challenging concept as a matter of international law and policy, raising fundamental questions about the allocation of power among States. It is also a dynamic concept, reflecting and responding to shifts in the global economy, patterns of human behavior, and understandings of state sovereignty. This volume explores extraterritoriality from a wide range of perspectives--theoretical, historical, and empirical. Its chapters likewise address a wide range of practices, in areas including criminal law, economic regulation, and the protection of human rights. Throughout, the volume recognizes extraterritoriality as an expansive concept used to assess both the actions and the obligations of states within the international arena.
