International Rule-Coordination Mechanisms for Cross-Border E-Commerce Dispute Resolution
Cross-border e-commerce connects market actors across multiple jurisdictions through end-to-end digital transaction chains. Disputes arising from such transactions typically feature high frequency and low value, diversified parties, electronic evidence, and strong requirements for procedural immediacy. Their resolution is shaped not only by public international law considerations such as duties of cooperation, treaty interpretation, and principles of jurisdiction, but also by private international law logics concerning jurisdictional connecting factors and the choice of applicable law. Adopting an international-law-oriented methodology, this study develops a framework for an international rule-linkage mechanism for cross-border e-commerce dispute resolution along four dimensions: mutual recognition of rules, procedural interfacing, institutional coordination, and enforcement safeguards. It further proposes an institutional scheme that advances soft law first and hard law progressively, incorporates platform rules into compliance review, and promotes the standardization of electronic evidence and online procedures, with the aim of enhancing predictability, accessibility, and enforceability of cross-border dispute resolution without engaging sensitive political issues.
