International economic law is an increasingly seminal field of international law that involves the regulation and conduct of states, international organizations, and private firms operating in the international economic arena.[1] As such, international economic law encompasses a broad range of disciplines touching on public international law,[2] private international law,[2] and domestic law applicable to international business transactions.[3]

Because of the breadth of international economic activities and transactions, international economic law is a highly interdisciplinary field of study. Decisions in one area, such as tax or financial regulation, can impact the transmission of monetary policy, which can, in turn, impact the effectiveness or operation of a trade regime, and vice versa. Consequently, a wide range of notable governmental and intergovernmental organizations are involved in formulating international economic law and policy. Among the most important are:
