Aaryan Naresh Parekh and Janhavi Vinod Shrungare address the problems of applicable law, jurisdiction, dispute resolution and enforcement created by differences between national legal and regulatory systems governing cross-border commercial transactions. Their analysis covers the legal framework for international trade, foreign investment and capital movement, including contracts, taxation and international arbitration.
The comparison focuses on China, Singapore, India, the United States and the United Kingdom, while also considering international agreements and the World Trade Organization's role in cross-border trade. It assesses India's position in the international trading system and recommends streamlined regulatory processes, greater legal certainty and stronger institutional coordination.
