This is a substantial book, featuring significant themes and a writer with the required expertise to support them. It is packed with insights into the theories that underpin the laws governing contract, property, and security, making it a valuable contribution to the field of international commerce and finance.

Volume 1 of this new edition delves into the origins and foundations of private law. It explores the diverse origins, structures, and orientations of civil and common law, as well as the social and cultural factors that shape them. The book analyzes the practical needs and market forces that drove the emergence of a new transnational commercial and financial legal order. It examines the international finance-driven impulses, concepts, and operations of this order, as well as the theoretical basis for the transnationalization of law in the professional sphere. The book also discusses the autonomous sources of the new law merchant or modern lex mercatoria, derived from the method of public international law, and its relationship to domestic and transnational public policy and public order requirements.

The complete set of this magisterial work consists of 6 volumes. Each volume can be used independently to delve into a specific topic. Alternatively, all volumes can be read together to provide a comprehensive overview of transnational comparative commercial, financial, and trade law.
