This new edition also includes: new material on comparative contract and sales law & European private law; joint ventures and collaborative alliances; a new part on foreign direct investment that includes a chapter on emerging markets; new chapters on privacy law, and on environmental concerns; greater coverage of the World Trade Organization; 'case highlights' and court opinions that feature edited court transcripts which expose students to actual legal reasoning and an understanding of the underlying legal principles.
