Features: This publicly published and distributed monograph on international economic law was written by the late Professor Liu Ding of the Law School of Renmin University of China and published by Renmin University of China Press in 1984. Professor Liu Ding made pioneering contributions to the teaching and research of international economic law in China. To meet the needs of teaching and research on international economic law in China's higher education institutions, a group of mid-to-young-aged teachers and researchers who have long been engaged in teaching and research on international economic law, primarily led by the International Law Teaching and Research Office of Renmin University of China, collectively compiled this textbook. The book systematically discusses various major legal issues involved in international economic and trade transactions, including international trade, international investment, international finance, international taxation, and dispute resolution in international economic and trade matters. Since its publication in 2000, the book has received praise from many sister institutions across the country, has been reprinted multiple times, and was awarded the First Prize of the Ministry of Education's National Outstanding Textbook for Higher Education in 2002. To adapt to the developments and changes in international economic relations, while maintaining the original structure of the textbook, we have revised the original content by incorporating newly formulated domestic laws of China and international conventions it has joined, particularly the relevant rules of the World Trade Organization and related international trade practices, to keep pace with the times and ensure the textbook reflects the newest developments in international economic legislation and judicial practice.
International economic law is a newly emerging legal discipline that regulates international economic relations, and in China, it has developed alongside the country's policies of revitalizing the domestic economy and implementing an open-door policy. This publicly published and distributed monograph on international economic law was written by the late Professor Liu Ding of our institution and published by Renmin University of China Press in 1984. Professor Liu Ding made pioneering contributions to the teaching and research of international economic law in China. Over the past decade and a half, significant changes in international and domestic economic relations and related legislation have greatly enriched the content of international economic law. As a result, numerous works on international economic law have emerged like mushrooms after rain, and research in this field has continuously deepened. To meet the needs of teaching and research on international economic law in China's higher education institutions, a group of mid-to-young-aged teachers and researchers who have long been engaged in teaching and research on international economic law, primarily led by the International Law Teaching and Research Office of Renmin University of China, collectively compiled this textbook. This textbook strives to elucidate the fundamental theories of international economic law while closely linking them to China's practices in foreign trade and international economic and technological cooperation, reflecting the newest trends in China's foreign-related economic legislation and practice as well as international legislation and practice. The book systematically discusses various major legal issues involved in international economic and trade transactions, including international trade, international investment, international finance, international taxation, and dispute resolution in international economic and trade matters. The references cited in the book are generally up to June 1999.
