- <b>A complete and well-documented review of contract law in China.</b><br><br>This in-depth introduction to the law of contracts of Mainland China was written for Western lawyers who have contacts with the Peoples Republic of China, for scholars and students of comparative law or of Sinology. As stated above the book is merely an introduction, not a technical legal treatise for specialised<br>private lawyers. It is therefore useful for businessmen too. Without using stale language, this work also places the law of contractual obligations in an historical and socio-political context. It sketches, besides the general theory of contractual obligations and the provisions on the several specific contracts,<br>the Chinese case law on international sales contracts, as well as the law on the dispute resolution. It can be said that with regard to the private law the book opens a window on the continental Chinese legal culture, as Zweigert and Kötz would call it.<br><br><b>An essential handbook for all lawyers who wish to be fully involved in international relationships</b><br><br>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<br><br><b>Jacques H. Herbots</b> devoted his PhD thesis to African law. Thereafter, for many years he taught contracts, obligations and comparative law at the renowned university of Louvain. Besides his main tasks as a professor, he kept feeling the pulse of the living law as a deputy judge, as an assessor in the Belgian Council of State and as a member of the High Council for the Judiciary. He is currently still arbitrator in the Belgian Centre for Arbitration and Mediation, and he was appointed to the panel of the CIETAC in Beijing. Ever since a visit to the Peoples Republic in 1974, one may safely say he has been fascinated by the Empire of the Middle.
