New Journal: Perspectives contentieuses internationales (PCI)

The following announcement was kindly shared with us by Fabienne Jault-Seseke

Created with the support of LexisNexis, the Review Perspectives contentieuses internationales (PCI) is a biannual academic journal dedicated to the globalization of international litigation in both its public and private aspects. Each issue features a thematic dossier, complemented by several articles outside the main topic (Varia), as well as brief focus pieces addressing current events relevant to political or regulatory developments impacting international disputes (Focus).

The editorial committee, which ensures the scientific and operational direction of the Review, is composed of Sandrine Clavel, Patrick Jacob, and Fabienne Jault-Seseke (professors at Université Paris-Saclay, UVSQ).

Three issues have already been published and are available open access.

Issue 3 was released a few weeks ago.

It features a dossier dedicated to the Real Madrid / Le Monde case, following the decisions of the Court of Justice and the French Court of Cassation. Articles in this dossier were written by Fabienne Jault-Seseke, Julie Traullé, Marie Dugué and Laura Vitale, Ana Quinones, Olivera Boskovic, and Fabien Marchadier.

The issue also contains an article in English by Gilles Cuniberti on the international attractiveness of specialized commercial courts: “Assessing the International Attractiveness of Commercial Courts: Will Paris Eat London’s Lunch?”

A recent decision by the French Court of Cassation enabled Marylou Françoise to write a study devoted to the seising of the Judge in International Disputes.”

The issue concludes with presentations of:

• The Arbitration Act 2025, by Thomas Clay,
• The report on the application of the recast Brussels I Regulation: “To revise or not to revise?” by Sandrine Clavel,
• The order issued by the ICJ in the Sudan v. United Arab Emirates case: a brake on the Court’s openness, by Patrick Jacob.
