This book provides an accessible introduction to selected new issues in transnational law, and connects them to existing theoretical debates on transnational business regulation. More specifically, the book: introduces the argument about the evolving character of contemporary international business regulation; it provides an overview of some of the main fields of law that are currently important for firms that operate across borders; and it sets out an interpretive framework for making sense of disparate developments occurring across a number of jurisdictions, among which are the form of regulation and style of enforcement, issues of legal certainty, and behavioural aspects of regulation. The selected topics are indicative of some key issues confronting businesses looking to operate across national borders, as well as policy makers seeking to introduce and enforce meaningful regulatory standards in an increasingly global society. Topics include: consumer law; product liability; warranty law and obsolescence; collective redress; alternative dispute resolution; corporate wrongdoing; corporate governance; and e-commerce. This timely work offers a novel perspective on transnational business law, and it examines a range of legal issues that preoccupy companies operating transnationally. This book is intended not only for law students looking for an introduction, overview, or commentary on the contemporary state of international business law, but also for anyone looking for an introduction to the regulation of business in a global, interconnected economy. [ Subject: Commercial Law, Comparative Law, Consumer Protection Law, International Law, Business Law]
