This book owes much insight, stimulus, and encouragement to many, in all the years of research, teaching, and advisory practice in international economic law. Colleagues and students alike on both sides of the Atlantic broadened and deepened the authors sensitivity to the interplay between international economic law in the traditional sense and other legal regimes, especially human rights and environmental law as well as for the balance between universal or regional standards and proper deference to local or national values in all their diversity.

The same holds true for a leitmotif of the book, the contribution of modern international economic law to rationality, to the rule of law, and other aspects of good governance. The new edition reflects recent developments in many fields. In particular, world trade law, (mega-)regional agreements, corporate social responsibility, and environmental law are areas of considerable and persistent dynamics. On the global and regional levels we see tectonic changes in the architecture of monetary law and the financial system.

My particular thanks go to present or former research assistants at my chair at the University of Bonn, in particular to Carsten Kalla LLM (Columbia).
