In this important book marking new patterns of international trade, Anupam Chander evokes the Electronic Silk Road. The book lays down the challenge to revisualize the essential forms of contemporary international commerce, and the dominant role of digital trade. Chander is well suited to the task – he is an active and astute scholar working in international trade, intellectual property, and information law. The Electronic Silk Road is a digital route. It refers to both the infrastructure of the Road, as well as the units of economic value that pass over it. The book begins with the ‘new global division of labor’ on the Electronic Silk Road: the various stages in the production of information can now be distributed over many countries, in a manner that emulates global patterns of manufacturing industrial goods. He then turns to questions of regulatory design: Who can control the ‘pirates’ of cyberspace? Which country can stand up to the immense power of ‘Facebookistan? Chander celebrates the freedom for innovation the digital world presents – yet, in the final chapters of the book, turns to argue a place for robust law to preserve these freedoms, most particularly in China.
