Review from previous edition This ambitious book, based on Cedric Ryngaert's PhD at Leuven University, does not disappoint. Its aim is nothing less than a comprehensive analysis of the admissible geographical reach of State legislative power...this remarkably concise volume is a gem bound to become a reference on prescriptive jurisdiction in International law

• 1: Introduction 2: Public International Law Approaches to Jurisdiction 3: The Territoriality Principle 4: The Principles of Extraterritorial Criminal Jurisdiction 5: A Reasonable Exercise of Jurisdiction 6: A New Theory of Jurisdiction in International Law
