Reviews / Votes
'No single-volume publication brings together as many diverse and stimulating perspectives on secured financing law as does this Research Handbook.,i> Its great strengths are asking hard questions and recognizing how difficult reform is. Contributors report on what works (and what doesn't), drawing on evidence from legal systems less often studied in this context (e.g., Brazil, Morocco). I cannot imagine a researcher in the field who would not be intrigued by analysis of such issues as access of women to secured financing, constraints Shari'ah places on use of security devices, and reasons for Russia's meandering path to modernization.' -- Peter Winship, Southern Methodist University, Dedman School of Law, USMore details
