Abstract

This piece is the abridged version of a report to UNESCO Member States prepared at the request of the Secretariat of the Intergovernmental Copyright Committee. The piece outlines the early experiments and the legal challenges of online dispute resolution after placing them in the historical context of transnational regulation. It is one of the very first attempts to explore the similarities between today's normative digital environments and the borderless trade environments that prevailed before the concept of the nation-state had gained ascendancy. The text is also available in French, Spanish and Russian.
