"This book investigates when and why elite conationals resort to extraterritorial dispute resolution--the use of foreign courts to settle domestic disputes. It argues that the balance of power between a state and its plutocracy determines when nationals of one country seek to resolve legal disputes in another, and that the turn to extraterritorial dispute resolution is more likely to occur when the state and plutocrats have similar power resources"-- Provided by publisher.
