Programme: Introduction by Chairperson Address by The Hon. Sundaresh Menon, Chief Justice of Singapore Vote of Thanks by Mr Renaud Sorieul, the Secretary of UNCITRAL Synopsis: This lecture surveys the historical stages of the lex mercatoria and suggests that a new chapter waits to be written. It explores the interaction between international commercial law and prevailing power structures, and how this has been affected by the advent of globalisation. In a globalising world which is nonetheless rooted in Westphalian fundamentals, the continued convergence of commercial law will have to be balanced with domestic imperatives and cultural differences. The CISG, while already a landmark success in its own right, may yet provide the key insights needed to achieve

4 this. Along with new internationalist institutions being set up in Asia, it may expect to be instrumental to the next iteration of lex mercatoria.
