1 Bederman notes that this can occur when “[e]lite associations” favor elevating an issue to an international mechanism to “avoid or subvert domestic legislative or judicial bodies that might have been ‘captured’ by more parochial interests” (p. 169).

2 This relationship between the historic and modern lex mercatoria is explored in a new book published after Bederman’s study. See Steil, Benn & Hinds, Manuel, Money, Markets, and Sovereignty 23–29 (2009)Google Scholar.
