Marrella: Manuale di diritto del commercio internazionale

Fabrizio Marrella (Università 'Cà Foscari' Venezia - Law) has published Manuale di diritto del commercio internazionale (CEDAM 2017). Here's the abstract:

Questo libro, concepito come un “manuale”, intende mettere a fuoco il “sistema” delle norme vigenti in modo da consentire al lettore di cogliere l’essenza degli istituti giuridici e comprenderne il funzionamento, anche ai fini della risoluzione delle controversie transnazionali. Tante e rilevanti sono le novità normative e giurisprudenziali intervenute in questi ultimi anni ed esaminate in questo volume: riforme che vanno, inter alia, dalla modernizzazione del “sistema Paese” per sviluppare il commercio con l’estero allo sviluppo delle fonti del diritto dell’Unione europea, dalla disciplina dei contratti internazionali a quella dei pagamenti e delle garanzie bancarie internazionali, dalle nuove norme per la soluzione delle controversie transnazionali come il Reg. n.1215/2012 (c.d. Reg. Bruxelles I bis) al nuovo Regolamento di arbitrato e mediazione ICC del 2017.

This book provides the first University textbook of International Business Law in the Italian language designed to provide the theoretical and practical foundations for students and practicioners of this fundamental field of law. It classifies different sources of law affecting trasnational business operations according to their origin and legal system (National (i.e. Italian), European Union, Intergovernmental and non national (i.e. new lex mercatoria and the Unidroit Principles for international Commercial Contracts)as well as identifies the different actors in the field (companies, States, Intergovernmental Organizations, Non Governmental Organizations). In such a framework, rules of International Economic Law (from WTO to the new EU Customs Code, from economic treaties to embargos) provides the setting into which the core contract are operationals. Thus, the main perspective of the book is that of Private International Law by which different rules are applied according to their sphere of applications. Among the topics discussed, there are the main transnational business contracts (i.e. sales, transport, payment methods, insurance, agency and distribution contracts, intellectual property, trade finance, bank guarantees, foreign direct investments) and the the most prominent dispute resolution mechanisms such as Arbitration and ADRs. The book takes into proper account, inter alia, the Unidroit Principles for International Commercial Contracts 2016; EU Regulation n.1215/2012 (c.d. Reg. Bruxelles I bis) and the new ICC Arbitration Rules 2017.
