概要 |
Trade between nations is worth billions of dollars a year & will continue to increase with the rise in world population. But the complexities & nuances involved often make aspects of transnational con...racts impenetrable. As a result, the need is stronger than ever for a one-volume text on the fundamentals of International Commercial Transactions for lawyers, businesspeople, & others involved in or considering international deals. International Commercial Agreements, now in its third edition, meets this need by providing basic, precise information on setting up & performing international trade transactions. Its popularity is a testament to its uniqueness-the bulk of work on this subject is concentrated in inaccessible, multi-volume treaties or scattered among law journal articles & assumes expertise in the arena & familiarity with the legal jargon. This book focuses on the private dimensions of international trade, & specifically on its contractual aspects. Its focus reflects the reality of the day-to-day business of international trade, which is primarily an undertaking between two private businesses based on a contract drafted & negotiated between the two contracting parties for performance by them with occasional third-party assistance. The work is organized so that the user can read or skip various topics as needed rather than having to read cover-to-cover. Coverage includes . specific guidance on drafting commercial agreements; . background material on contract formation, including basic information on contract law; . information on differences between international & domestic contracts; . exploration of negotiation techniques & coverage of new thinking in negotiation to help smooth the negotiation process; . discussion of alternative dispute resolution issues. The book also contains numerous helpful features, including . suggestions for specific contract language; . footnotes to appropriate additional sources-treaties, rules, statutes, other primary sources of the law, treaties, & law journal articles--which guide readers who require more depth on a particular subject; . clear, easy-to-follow structure mirroring the three stages of an agreement; . appendices of relevant legislation; . a detailed bibliography, & . a topical index. Its features, coverage, & clarity contribute to the value of International Commercial Agreements as a handbook to planning & carrying out various types of international commercial transactions. Businesspeople, academics, lawyers, & students will appreciate this highly useful guide to an increasingly important business enterprise. 続きを見る
