The Cisg and Its Impact on National Legal Systems

"In force in 70 countries around the world and covering more than two-thirds of world trade. the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is considered to be the most successful convention promoting international trade." "This book analyzes - through 24 country reports as well as a general report submitted to the 1st Intermediate Congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law held in November 2008 in Mexico City - to what extent the Convention de facto influences domestic legal systems. In particular, the book examines the Convention's impact on the practice of law, the style of court decisions and the domestic legislation in the area of contract law."--BOOK JACKET.
