Description

“It stands alone in its field not only due to its comprehensive coverage, but also its original methodology.” - American Journal of Comparative Law (review of the 1st edition)

Volume 3 of this new edition deals with the transnationalisation of contract law. It compares common law and civil law concepts, noting the origin of the one in commercial law and of the other in consumer law, and identifies the different attitudes to protection, risk management, and risk distribution.

The volume also explores future directions in international commerce and finance, as well as the potential, effects, and challenges of e-commerce, blockchain, and the emergence of the smart contract.

This magisterial work is made up of 6 volumes. Used independently, each volume allows the reader to delve into a particular topic. Alternatively, all volumes can be read together for a comprehensive overview of transnational comparative commercial, financial and trade law.
