The Court and the World: American Law and the New Global Realities

Stephen Breyer, The Court and the World: American Law and the New Global Realities (Knopf, 2015).


"In his lucid new book, 'The Court and the World,' Breyer contends that events in the world have effectively resolved the foreign law controversy. Playing the judge as enlightened modern technocrat, he offers a reasoned elaboration of the mounting costs that judicial isolationism would entail in our increasingly interconnected world. Globalization, he argues, has made engagement with foreign law and international affairs simply unavoidable."
