⊙ The book is structured around the three major forms of international business: international trade, intellectual property licensing, and foreign direct investment. It covers both traditional commercial law topics (such as product sales, commercial documents, corporate law, agency law, etc.) and focuses on explaining various aspects of international business, including international trade law, international conventions and agreements, and trade controls. It emphasizes private law to promote more effective management decisions.
⊙ This is an excellent textbook on international commercial law, adopted by prestigious universities worldwide, such as Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Its publisher, West Education, is a subsidiary of Thomson Learning (one of the world's largest lifelong learning and education publishing groups), with an outstanding brand in legal education publishing.
⊙ With China's entry into the WTO, economic globalization is reshaping and will fundamentally alter traditional perspectives on resources, markets, and competition. Leveraging comparative advantages and actively cultivating dynamic comparative advantages have become conscious actions for many countries, regions, and enterprises. While studying WTO-related documents and rules is important, systematically and comprehensively understanding the knowledge and operational skills of international business, the "International Commercial Law" course may serve as a necessary foundation. As a translated textbook on international commercial law, this book fills gaps in many areas.
