Comparative Contract Law, Second Edition - Cases, Materials and Exercises (Paperback, 2nd edition)

'The incorporation of Chinese law is particularly interesting for Chinese legal researchers and even for the Chinese legislator considering the dramatic ongoing codification movement taking place within Chinese civil law, because one of the essential values of comparative law is to find alternative solutions to one's own legal system.' - Jiayou Shi, Renmin University of China, Beijing, China 'Professor Kadner Graziano's book on comparative contract law is an invaluable source of inspiration to both study and teach contract law in a transnational perspective. His cases highlight the expected and sometimes less expected differences and similarities between the key jurisdictions in Europe and allow the reader to gain a concrete understanding of the various systems put in play. I cherish this book this book for my course on transnational contract law and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in this stimulating field of study.' - Andre Prum, University of Luxembourg Promoting a 'learning-by-doing' approach to comparative contract law and comparative methodology, this second edition of Comparative Contract Law updates the first true student reader on the subject.
