2 In Argentine Republic v. Amerada Hess Shipping Corp., 488 U.S. 428 (1989), which held that the Act is the exclusive basis for court jurisdiction over suits against foreign sovereigns, the Court confirmed analysis contained in the treatise. And the opinion in W. S. Kirkpatrick & Co. v. Environmental Tectonics Corp., 493 U.S. 400 (1990), which dealt with the act of state doctrine, is remarkably consistent with the book’s treatment.
