International trade transactions lead to complex exchanges and relationships. The new edition of this textbook covers important legal and contractual areas in international trade in fundamentally updated chapters. These include

- the international sale of goods, including securing transactions and consumer purchase contracts (Prof. Dr. Andreas Willburger) 

- international product liability (Prof. Dr. Rainer Gildeggen), 

- the international transport contract and cross-border legal enforcement (Prof. Dr. Stefanie Sendmeyer), 

- the international commercial agent and authorized dealer contract (Prof. Dr. Andreas Rühmkorf) and 

- the international license contract (Prof. Dr. Andreas Willburger). 

IT services are also becoming increasingly important in international trade. This edition therefore includes a new chapter on IT-(project)-contracts (Prof. Dr. Steffen Kroschwald). This chapter also presents legal and (contractual) design requirements, particularly for agile IT projects, in a way that is both practical and educational.
