Book excerpt: More than 40 countries, accounting for two-thirds of all world trade, have ratified the Convention on Contracts For The International Sale of Goods (CISG).

Because the CISG treaty demands an international interpretation, The authors draw heavily upon a broad base of CISG decisions, arbitral awards and doctrine from around the world. Concrete examples are provided throughout. The English language text will help European jurists to better communicate about CISG problems across language barriers. Those in academia will also appreciate the sources drawn upon And The comparative approach of this work.
