81. Maier, Remarks, 84 PROC. AM. SOC. INT'L LAW 339, 339 (1990); id., at 340 (principle of comity informs the "interest-balancing" choice of law principles in the Restatement); Paul, supra note 63a, at 12 (comity arose out of "[t]he need for a more sophisticated system of conflicts . . . in connection with the emergence of the nation state and the rise of commerce that brought different nationalities into more frequent contact and conflict with one another"); id., at 45-48 (noting that although the relationship between the "classical doctrine of comity" and the Restatement's principle of "reasonableness" is uncertain, the former "retains a significant function in the Restatement"); id., at 54 (comity principle "mitigates the inherent tension between principles of territorial exclusivity and sovereign equality"); Cf. Campbell, supra note 63A, at 6 (The Supreme Court's comity jurisprudence "inquires, in cases involving international trade, what values facilitate that trade. Trading nations have a common interest in supporting these values, and therefore national agencies--courts, legislators, administrators--should seek to respect, and thereby strengthen, these values as they engage in the processes of law formation").
