This report compares the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) with other free trade agreements and suggests how policy makers can promote its successful implementation. The analysis in this report aims to support policy makers and negotiators in RCEP implementation by identifying areas where further work is needed to make the agreement more attractive to firms and investors. The report shows that despite RCEP's shortcomings it presents valuable opportunities to deepen regional economic integration. Critically important are the agreement's built-in provisions and economic and technical cooperation measures that make it possible to expand its depth and coverage in the future.

Problems regarding the nature of consent are at the heart of many of today's most pressing issues. For example, the #MeToo movement has underscored the need to move beyond viewing consent as a simple matter of yes or no. Consent is complex because humans and their relationships are complicated. Humans, as a result of cognitive limitations and emotional and physical vulnerabilities, are susceptible to manipulation and mistakes. Given the potential for regret, are there some things to which one should not be permitted to consent? The consentability quandary becomes more urgent with technological advances. Should we allow body hacking? Cryonics? Consumer travel to Mars? Assisted suicide? In Consentability: Consent and Its Limits, Nancy S. Kim proposes a bold, original framework for evaluating consentability, which considers the complexities surrounding consent.

The second edition of Global Sales and Contract Law continues to provide comparative analysis of domestic laws of sale and contract in over sixty countries, delivering a global view of national and international sales law. The book is grounded in the practical realities of sales law, reflecting the day-to-day issues faced by practitioners. Complex questions of the obligations under a sales contract, the ways in which these are established, as well as the remedies following the breach of obligations, are all analysed. In addition to coverage of the CISG and various national regimes, the book examines regional projects, like the the UNIDROIT PICC, the PECL, the DCFR and the PLACL, and compares differences in domestic legal approach where the CISG would not apply. The new edition covers all the relevant case law, and factors in developments such as changes to the law of contract in Argentina, France, Hungary, and Japan, a raft of countries which have adopted the CISG since the first edition, updates to the UNIDROIT PICC, and new editions of the ICC's INCOTERMS (c) and force majeure and hardship clauses in 2020. International or multilateral developments that were envisaged in the original edition have now either evolved or disappeared, for example, the European Union's plan for a Common European Sales Law (CESL), as reflected in the new edition. Encompassing all aspects of sale of goods transactions, and examining the process of a sale with relation to general contract law, the book gives practitioners invaluable insight into judicial trends and possible solutions in different legal systems, whether preparing for litigation or drafting an international contract. Global Sales and Contract Law remains the most comprehensive and thorough compilation of legal analysis in the field of the sale of goods and is a source for any practitioner dealing in international commerce.

This volume revisits some of the key debates about the nature and shape of contract law, in light of the impact that statutes have had on its development. With contributions from leading contract law scholars, it fills a significant gap in existing theoretical and doctrinal analyses of contract law, which rely primarily on cases to put forward accounts of the general principles and structure of contract law. Statutory rules are, typically, seen as being specific instances of legal regulation that carve out exceptions to these general principles for specific reasons of policy. This treatment of these rules has resulted in an incomplete understanding of the nature of contract law and the principles that underpin it. By drawing specifically on contract statutes, the volume produces a more complete picture of modern contract law. A companion to the ground-breaking Tort Law and the Legislature: Common Law, Statute and the Dynamics of Legal Change (Hart Publishing, 2012) this collection will have a significant impact on the study of contract law.

Interpretation or construction is central to the operation of contract law. Despite the fundamental role it plays, there have been limited attempts to explain construction in holistic terms. This important book aims to fill that gap by offering a systematic exposition of the iterative process. It also goes further, suggesting practical solutions to disputes regarding questions of interpretation. The book argues that construction is not simply about establishing what words mean; it is a process through which objective intention is inferred from the choice of words in a contract. The interpretive process involves four steps: formulate the question of interpretation in dispute; explore competing answers to the question; analyse the admissible material supporting each interpretation; and weigh and balance the competing considerations. By so doing, the book offers a simple yet sophisticated framework for interpreting/constructing contracts.
