International Business and Economics

This second edition looks closely at both the content of NAFTA and the Uruguay Round Multilateral Agreements, and at the US legislation implementing them. The authors also incorporate a number of panel decisions under both of these agreements, to focus on the emerging jurisprudence of international trade law. Throughout, the text prompts the reader to consider the effects of particular rules and offers various models and methodologies that suggest a variety of answers to these questions. The authors include large portions of materials on taxation. The tax materials are intended for teachers who are not tax specialists and for students who may not have had any tax courses during their legal education. Moreover, these materials are kept in discrete subsections, so teachers who wish to elide taxation altogether easily can use the text. The entire book, including the tax materials, can be taught in a four-hour course. Those who are confined to a three-hour format can leave out the tax and cover what remains.
