Samenvatting

International Law and Business is a very accessible introduction for business students around the world. This new book offers a broad, yet thorough and nuanced overview of the international law applicable to international business.

Why International Law and Business?
- pleasant to read, but also thorough and complete;
- hands students methods to structure and apply the theory;
- comes with valuable online extra’s.

International Law and Business discusses law on a global scale, also including Asian, Islamic, African and Latin-American concepts of law. Furthermore, it focusses not just on the usual international institutions, like the UN, but also includes institutions as the NAFTA, MERCOSUR, SACU and Asian alternatives to the World Bank. A chapter on methods helps students to apply the theory on business proposals in the international arena. All of the chapters contain a variety of rehearse questions, consisting of open questions, essay questions and multiple choice questions, and a precise summary. A solid bibliography has been added, which students and teachers may use for follow-up reading. International Law and Business is also available as an e-book.

The accompanying website offers students interesting vlogs and blogs about new developments and current issues. Therefore, the content of the book will always be up-to-date. Students will also find an answer grid on the website to rehearse questions. For teachers, extra material has been made available.
