International Business Law: In the New Cyberworld (eBook)

International Business Law, the first of its kind, provides 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. Conducting successful international business in the modern electronically communicating world demands a wide range of tools of international cooperation 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.

In a thoroughly researched survey of currently applicable e-commerce law across the globe, the author describes and analyzes the following aspects:

• 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.

The book’s in-depth description and analysis of how enforceable business agreements are formed, how they can be enforced, 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 will prove to be highly beneficial to businesses and their in-house counsel, as well as lawyers advising or adjudicating business-related legal issues.
