Abstract:
The problems of international economic law (hereinafter—IEL) are being thoroughly developed in the United Kingdom. The views of British scientists on IEL, its purpose and content are original. Many of their researches are of significant interest, including for analysis in conjunction with the positions of Russian legal experts. At the same time, in the UK there is also some specificity in approaches to IEL, which distinguishes them from the views typical for domestic science. The purpose of the article is to show to certain extent the transformation of ideas about IEL in the UK, as well as their features. The work separately examines the views in the UK on such important sub-branches of IEL as international trade law (hereinafter—ITL), international investment law (hereinafter—IIL). In addition to doctrinal views on IEL, the article touches upon individual practical aspects of ensuring the interests of Great Britain in international economic relations. In the research are also analyzed and disclosed in a general way, in relation to the specifics of the interests of Great Britain, such issues as the compliance to IEL the concept of «partial surrending of state sovereignty», ensuring freedom of trade in different time periods, fragmentation of IEL and IIL, reduction of the role («marginalization») of IEL in modern times.
