Abstract

What will the world look like following trade wars and the collapse of multilateralism? The answer might include an increasing use of ex-traterritorial application of laws. One of the ways the Trump Administration has impacted global dispute resolution is through endorsing and espousing a return of unilateralism, which manifests itself through the extraterritoriality of laws. This Essay explains this approach and assesses resulting legal challenges. Part I briefly discusses the Trump Administration’s increasing departure from transnationalism, coupled with a similar departure on a global scale. Part II investigates how this approach will lead to the expansion of extraterritorial laws. Finally, Part III presents a case study of the impact of economic sanctions on global dispute resolution.

Keywords: Exterritoriality, International Dispute Resolution, the Trump Effect
