<br />The s<i>econd edition</i> of this well-known survey of the legal aspects
of international business contracting has been needed for some time. Over the
course of the last decade, a plethora of new concepts and procedures (many
catalyzed by growth in the use of information technology) has wrought many
changes in the searching, drafting, and execution of international contracts.
This book redefines this field of legal practice to accommodate these changes.
</p>
<p>
Material in the Second Edition includes new or updated coverage of the
following and much more:

</p>
<ul>

<li>
outsourcing legal services;
</li>
<li>
electronic transmission of contracts;
</li>
<li>
inadvertent disclosure of confidential information;
</li>
<li>
joint venture governance;
</li>
<li>
restrictive covenants;
</li>
<li>
distribution agreements; and
</li>
<li>
China’s Uniform Contract Law.
</li>
</ul>
<p>

</p>
<p>
A greatly enhanced bibliography, updated to 2008, now includes Internet
sources.
</p>
<p>
All of the prized features of the First Edition are of course still here,
including analysis of key contract issues unique to various types of
contracting, common contract clauses (such as choice of law and dispute
resolution clauses), insights gleaned from actual cases and arbitral
proceedings, and clear explanation of the principles of good contract
drafting. The major relevant international conventions, model laws, pertinent
national laws (such as the UCC), legal guides, and other documents and
instruments are all covered, with primary texts provided in appendices.
</p>
<p>
Given the legal liability that can result from the failure to take private
international law developments into account, this book is not only valuable
but necessary. As an adroit combination of up-to-date theoretical underpinning
and eminently practical guidance, the book will continue to serve
practitioners well in this new edition.
