International Business Law

International Business Law: In the New Cyberworld
Edward J. Swan 
Conducting successful international business in the modern electronically communicating world requires a wide range of tools of international cooperation in order to ensure reasonable and effective laws and regulations governing the cyber business world, as well as to avoid, and if necessary resolve, conflicts and miscommunications that inevitably arise. This is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of legal measures to regulate cyber commerce around the globe, with detailed coverage of the world’s major markets and a legal and regulatory review, both national and international, of digital penetration of the world’s major business sectors. 
In a thoroughly researched survey of currently applicable e-commerce law across the globe, the author describes and analyzes such aspects as the following: 

-         international laws and conventions affecting cyber business;

-         law of international contracts;

-         privacy and data protection issues, including cybercrime, cyberwar, bribery, and corruption; and

-         intellectual property and competition.

There are individual chapters for major jurisdictions, including the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. 
Businesses and their in-house counsel, as well as lawyers advising or adjudicating business-related legal issues, will greatly appreciate the book’s in-depth description and analysis of how enforceable business agreements are formed, how they can be enforced, and how many legal jurisdictions one’s business is reaching and how the legal requirements of each jurisdiction will affect one’s agreements and one’s business expectations.
