The management of international business is the management of risk. Therefore becoming familiar with the legal framework within which international business takes place is essential. This course emphasizes both private and public international law. Public international law includes conventions, treaties, and agreements among nations including the United Nations Convention on Contracts for The International Sale of Goods. Private international law includes the law of international sales, trade finance and letters of credit, distribution agreements, agreements with foreign sales representatives, as well as licensing agreements and the protection of intellectual property rights. Emphasis is placed on the study of leading court decisions which illustrate the rule of law involved. Foreign court decisions are included for comparison purposes. In addition to those topics mentioned above, topics include: differences in national laws and legal systems; national lawmaking powers and the regulation of U.S. trade; regulating import competition and unfair trade including antidumping; resolving international commercial disputes including litigation and enforcement of foreign judgments; U.S. export control laws and export licensing; import, customs, and tariff law; GATT law and the WTO; NAFTA rules of origin.
