| Abstract
|
:
|
Taking a new approach by examining the impact of the transferability of law on end-users and by focussing on how appropriate norms are applied in specific situations, the book documents how contractual disputes arise and are solved and calls for a reconsideration of current law and development theory as well as the role of contract law in business decisions. It will be relevant to all developing countries seeking to align their laws with?best practice? as identified by aid institutions.
