This course is designed to provide an overview of the fundamental principles of international business law that regulate a variety of commercial transactions at the global level. The primary objective of this course is to equip the students with the necessary knowledge and skills to address key questions pertaining to international business and the laws that govern it. These questions include, but are not limited to: What is the law applicable for the underlying commercial transaction? What are the responsibilities and liabilities of the parties involved in a contractual relation? What are the conditions to hold the contractual party liable?
To facilitate the understanding of these basic questions, this course will concentrate on the following core subjects: 1) international sale of goods and general contract terms; 2) transportation of goods by land and sea; and 3) the use of a letter of credit as a payment mechanism. Furthermore, as a result of the in class presentations, the students will explore 4) certain substantive topics related to international business law such as sustainability initiatives and the integration of technology within the context of international business. It is important to note that a recurring theme throughout this course will be the impact of these “international laws” (e.g., UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, Hague-Visby Rules, CMR, etc.) on the harmonization of law at the international level.
The goal is to select the essential concepts, examine them in detail, and foster their sufficient understanding for the students to apply these concepts in a practical context. Thus, given the limited duration of the instruction time, this course will NOT delve into various subjects including, but not limited to: 1) the comprehensive history of commercial law; 2) transportation of goods by air or rail; 3) leasing and financing business contracts; or 4) insolvency claims, among others.
