Description

"A monument of immense erudition" – Rabels Zeitschrift (review of the 8th edition)

The 9th edition of the leading work on transnational and comparative commercial and financial law covers a wide range of complex topics in the modern law of international commerce, finance and trade. As a guide for students and practitioners, it has proven to be unrivalled. The work is divided into six volumes which can be used independently or as part of the complete set.

Volume 1 covers the roots and foundations of private law, the different origins, structure, and orientation of civil and common law, and the social and cultural forces behind it.

Volume 2 covers the transnationalisation of dispute resolution, especially arbitration, and contains a critical analysis of the main challenges to its success, continuing credibility, and effectiveness.

Volume 3 deals with the transnationalisation of contract law. It compares common law and civil law concepts, and identifies the different attitudes to protection, risk management, and risk distribution.

Volume 4 deals with movable and intangible property law, addressing the transformation of the models of movable property in commercial and financial transactions.

Volume 5 looks at financial products and financial services, the structure and operation of banking and of the capital markets, and the role of modern commercial and investment banks.

Volume 6 deals with financial regulation of banks and banking activities and products.
