The United States experience with extraterritoriality

Cassandra Burke Robertson

Chapter 8 in Research Handbook on Extraterritoriality in International Law, 2023, pp 133-145 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter discusses the rise of extraterritorial regulation in United States courts and addresses U.S. judicial doctrines such as the presumption against extraterritoriality, forum non conveniens, and the recent retrenchment of personal (adjudicatory) jurisdiction. It explores how U.S. courts have used these doctrines to limit extraterritorial impact without directly restricting Congress’s ability to regulate extraterritorially. Finally, it examines some of the current controversies and questions arising in U.S. courts, including how courts define extraterritoriality, whether the United States Constitution imposes limits on extraterritoriality, and the extent to which individual states within the U.S. federal system may exercise extraterritorial power.
