Basic Documents International

Anyone involved in the study or practice of trade law knows the difficult and time-consuming nature of obtaining primary source material and consulting each of the main trade law instruments when examining the applicable treatment of a particular point.

<p class=copymedium>Now in its third edition, <b>Basic Documents on International Trade Law</b> solves this problem of inconvenience by assembling, in a single, easy-to-use resource, a very comprehensive collection of the most important and frequently used documents on the law of international trade.

<p class=copymedium>Professor Cheng's document selection is guided by his balance of experience in both academia and professional practice. In addition to its obvious practical value, this work also reveals much about the process of harmonisation in international trade law, the operation of the key international bodies, and the growth of the Law Merchant.

<p class=copymedium>The book provides both an examination of key aspects of international trade law and a suggestion as to its future as well as a helpful source of reference for students, academics, international business lawyers, legislators, and government officials in the field.

<p class=copymedium>This latest edition contains a wealth of new material, reflecting the appearance of new conventions and model laws in international trade since the publication of the earlier versions. Certain parts have been substantially revised and re-arranged and several new instruments are included.
