Russian Commercial Law: Second Edition (Brill's Paperback Collection) - Tapa dura

Praise for first edition: '...fur jeden Juristen, der sich mit dem russischen Recht befasst, ob Einsteiger, Praktiker oder Wissenschaftler, bietet Russian Commercial Law von Hiroshi Oda eine empfehlenswerte Lekture.' Dr.Hans Janus in the WGO '...[i]t should be said that the book represents a much-needed and valiant attempt to explain to Anglophone readers a complex and confusing body of law.' Bernard Rudden, Electronic Journal of Comparative Law, Vol. 7.1 (2003). '...Le volume qui nous est ici offert constitue, en realite, la premiere etude globale portant sur la matiere en langue anglaise. [...] Tout au long de son etude, l'auteur manifeste le meme souci d'ordre, de precision et de clarte que dans ses travaux anterieurs, ainsi que la meme volonte d'expliquer, au besoin par un bref rappel historique, les solutions du droit positif. Son merite y est d'autant plus grande que, comme a l'accoutumee, il ne se contente pas d'exposer le droit "theorique", en se bornant a commenter les texts en vigueur, mais il cherche a montrer comment ce droit fonctionne en pratique et comment il est reellement mis en oeuvre. [...] Plus que toutes les manifestations de scepticisme, le regard serein et objectif que jette l'auteur sur la realite contemporaine nous incite a garder confiance dans l'avenir.' Xavier BLANC-JOUVAN, Revue Internationale de Droit Compare

This is a new and substantially expanded edition of the author's 'Russian Commercial Law' (2001) which has become the standard resource in this area. Compared to the rather chaotic situation in the 1990s, the system of commercial law in Russia has stabilised in the 2000s. Blatant abuses have become less common with the Joint Stock Company Law amendments taking effect and the new Insolvency Law being enacted. The book represents a comprehensive and in-depth study of current Russian commercial law encompassing various areas, from Company law, Banking Law, Natural Resources Law to International Commercial Arbitration. A new chapter on Environmental Law was added in the light of its significance for major natural resources and infrastructure projects. With the expertise of the author who has been involved in Russian Law studies and practice for some decades, the book is intended both for practitioners who have dealings with Russia and for academics and students.
