Book excerpt: "Other essays present the basic legal issues from a comparative perspective and clarify the fundamental distinctions in the points of view of the contractor and the sub-contractor. Individual contributions from practitioners in twenty countries (encompassing EU countries, the United States, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Asia Pacific region) detail applicable domestic law so the user can determine points of difference, common aspects, and potential pitfalls in most of the world's major industrial sub-contracting jurisdictions." "Handbook on Cross-Border Industrial Sub-Contracting will be of great value to lawyers and business people everywhere engaged in this all-important area of today's legal practice."--BOOK JACKET.
