Summary

The Law and Practice of international Finance is based on the author's university courses and provides authoritative and all-encompassing coverage of the law relating to international finance. The work covers the three principal approaches - the policies of the law, the legal rules and also the practical transactions - so that readers are presented with doctrine, data and deals, each of which throws light on the other.
For the first time, the topic is dealt with on a worldwide comparative basis with reference to nearly all of the world's 320 jurisdictions. The result is that readers have a panoramic view of international finance which not only has practitioner-based deals but also elucidates the law on a global basis without being tied to any single jurisdiction.
