’The CISG's significance lies as much in the advances it has generated in understanding the legal challenges and opportunities presented by a genuinely global economy as in its direct impact on world trade. The Advanced Introduction to International Sales Law is a superb example of this phenomenon. Professor Gillette, a master of the law and economics perspective, raises fundamental questions about the purposes and success of the CISG, and then rigorously deploys those questions throughout the volume to elucidate and evaluate the substantive provisions of this broadly-accepted treaty. The result is an essential tool for those who seek a sophisticated introduction to the CISG, and a must-read for all those engaged in the search for the best approaches to the legal challenges presented by international trade.’
