International insolvency is a newly-established branch of the study of insolvency that owes much to the phenomenon of cross-border incorporations and the conduct of business in more than one jurisdiction. It is largely the offspring of globalization and involves looking at both law and economic rules. This book is a compendium of essays by eminent academics and practitioners in the field who trace the development of the subject, give an account of the influences of economics, legal history and private international law, and chart its relationship with finance and security issues as well as the importance of business rescue as a phenomenon. Furthermore, the essays examine how international instruments introduced in recent years function as well as how the subject itself is continually being innovated by being confronted by the challenges of other areas of law with which it becomes entangled.

Reviews for International Insolvency Law: Reforms and Challenges

'Excellent contributions on broad-ranging and complex topics, developed in a comparative and international context. The chapters demonstrate able scholarship and provide a better understanding of insolvency law reform, both in personal and business insolvency worldwide.' Bob Wessels, University of Leiden, The Netherlands 'The profile of international insolvency law has developed rapidly in the past 10 years and this volume clearly adds to the increasing amount of quality scholarship published in this field. It deals with a broad range of general and specialist topics that have become important issues for international insolvency law.' Andrew Keay, University of Leeds, UK 'This book is a scintillating contribution to the worldwide discussion and debate on international insolvency. With the profound insights of a number of outstanding international scholars, it will be of immense value to the national and international lawmakers, and the judges and practitioners in national and international courts, who frequently face huge and complex legal issues.' Emeritus Professor Harry Rajak, University of Sussex, UK 'The book presents a broad range of general and specialist topics that have become important issues for comparative and international insolvency law. The themes demonstrate fresh views and updates on certain matters, and cover common law and civil law. Practitioners may find new arguments for their cases; scholars may find contributions that can help elucidate the complexity that must be mastered to better understand their subject; legislators may find inspiration for legislative developments elsewhere...'
