Good contract negotiators realize that there are coercive forces, and they work within the constraints imposed by those forces. That doesn't legitimize the coercion anymore than giving your wallet to a guy that sticks a gun in your face legitimizes robbery

Coercive forces, LMAO.

When I negotiated software license and distribution agreements with foreign (and domestic partners) I was always happy to have the jurisdiction in the US of A for the strong IP protections my product recieved.

These are not coercive forces, these are the forces that make it easy to do business in America. Try negotiating the biz world in Africa and Asia where the rules change all the time and you will realize that anarcho-capitalism (that is really what you get in a corrupt society) does not work. Good business people want a consistent and predicatble set of rules (and yes we want the rules as we dont want to agree to ALL the rules ALL the time).
