Review Quotes:
"Professor Dietz has made an important and substantial contribution to the field of
international law and economics. His analysis deserves a careful and respectful hearing." --Paul H. Cohen, Transnational Dispute Management, August 2014
"A study like the one presented in this book is highly interesting for research on the use of international trade law and the actual needs of traders ... Dietz presents a highly interesting spectrum of information about the actual problems and their solutions that business people encounter in this globalised world." --Maren Heidemann,
European Business Law Review "Thomas Dietz's book will be enjoyable to any reader interested in contract law theory, in the specificities of complex software development agreements, in international commerce and trade, in sociological approaches to law, or in institutional economics, among other fields. Readers will find in Dietz's work a fascinating study of contract law in action that forces all of us to be less attached to formal contracting rules and to consider other alternative mechanisms that work in the shadow of contract law or in its absence." --Antoni Rubí-Puig,
European Review of Contract Law
