English | 2007 | pages: 433 | ISBN: 386653020X | PDF | 1,0 mb
Today, international sales contracts are frequently governed by the 1980 UN Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The CISG is in force in more than 60 states all over world – both industrial nations and developing countries. It has been widely applied in international commercial transactions in the past twenty years. More than 1,700 decisions by state courts and arbitral tribunals have been reported so far. In short, the CISG has been one of the success stories in the field of the international unification of private law. The authors introduce the reader to the mechanics of that highly successful Convention by describing and analyzing the areas that the Convention covers, in particular its scope of application, the rules on the formation of contract, and the actual sales provisions. The book is primarily aimed at students, academics, and practitioners who have not yet studied the Convention in detail. From a comparative perspective, the book will be of particular interest as it combines a civil law view and a common law view on the CISG.

Free Download American Diplomacy’s Public Dimension: Practitioners as Change Agents in Foreign Relations (Palgrave Macmillan Series in Global Public Diplomacy) by Bruce Gregory
English | January 13, 2024 | ISBN: 3031389166 | 508 pages | MOBI | 0.93 Mb
This is the first book to frame U.S. public diplomacy in the broad sweep of American diplomatic practice from the early colonial period to the present. It tells the story of how change agents in practitioner communities – foreign service officers, cultural diplomats, broadcasters, citizens, soldiers, covert operatives, democratizers, and presidential aides – revolutionized traditional government-to-government diplomacy and moved diplomacy with the public into the mainstream. This deeply researched study bridges practice and multi-disciplinary scholarship. It challenges the common narrative that U.S. public diplomacy is a Cold War creation that was folded into the State Department in 1999 and briefly found new life after 9/11. It documents historical turning points, analyzes evolving patterns of practice, and examines societal drivers of an American way of diplomacy: a preference for hard power over soft power, episodic commitment to public diplomacy correlated with war and ambition,an information-dominant communication style, and American exceptionalism. It is an account of American diplomacy’s public dimension, the people who shaped it, and the socialization and digitalization that today extends diplomacy well beyond the confines of embassies and foreign ministries.
