This book brings together the top international sales law scholars from twentythree countries to review the Convention on Contracts for International Sale of Goods (CISG) and its role in the unification of global sales law at present and into the future. The book covers three general research methodologies: (1) doctrinal or descriptive, (2) theoretical, and (3) practical. In the area of doctrinal–descriptive analysis, the substance of CISG rules is reviewed and alternative interpretations of those rules are analyzed. A comparative analysis is given of how numerous countries have accepted, interpreted, and applied the CISG. Theoretical insights are offered into the problems of uniform laws, the CISG’s role in bridging the gap between the common and civil legal traditions, and the debate over the proper role of good faith in CISG jurisprudence. The practitioner perspective argues that the CISG should be viewed as a tool for furthering the interests of business clients. The book includes a review of the case law relating to the interpretation and application of the provisions of the CISG; analyzes how the CISG has been recognized and implemented by national courts, as well as arbitral tribunals; offers insights into the problems of uniformity of application of an international sales convention; compares the CISG with the English Sale of Goods Act and places the CISG in the context of other texts of UNCITRAL; and analyzes the CISG from the practitioner’s perspective, including how to use the CISG proactively.
