Reviews

The chapters begin with sufficiently basic material and build from there. It's very useful to have key terms highlighted and paginated at the end the chapter.


The chapters begin with sufficiently basic material and build from there. It's very useful to have key terms highlighted and paginated at the end the chapter. I have used the Shaffer textbook for many years and believe it is the best college-level textbook on international business law. It is well-written, authoritative, and duly rigorous.
