Global Transactions and Regulation

Unlike outdated academic textbooks which largely ignore current paradigms, concerns, and issues surrounding cross-border transactions, this book examines current and relevant business, legal, regulatory, and ethical issues that arise when commercial transactions across national borders. Major topics include: - The political, legal, and cultural frameworks of jurisdictions outside of the United States - Global macroeconomic institutions - International taxation - Anti-corruption and fraud prevention - Intellectual property - Labor and employment - Anti-money laundering, terrorist financing, and Cybersecurity - Ethical and organizational decision-making and leadership Any one of the above topics could be its own area of expertise and specialty, requiring libraries of books on the subject. The goal of this book, uniquely, is to offer a basic introduction to each area for the purpose of navigating and knowing which experts to consult (and when to consult them), making it a must-read for entrepreneurs and their legal and business advisors.
