The new attractiveness of french law for international trade

Abstract

The influence of French law in international trade is now called into question because of the globalization of trade and the pre-eminence of Anglo-Saxon law. The challenge of the new attractiveness of French law is to present an alternative to the hegemony of Common Law and the French achievements are encouraging in the field of arbitration and international contracts. The attractiveness of the law becomes a means and not an end to achieve a legal system where freedom rhymes with security.
