Book ID/图书代码： 04289516B89090

English Summary/英文概要： This innovative and accessible text offers a straightforward and clear introduction to the law of contract suitable for use across geographical boundaries. Unlike most other texts - which tend either to introduce students to the national contract law of their own country, or else to offer global and comparative perspectives to advanced students already familiar with the basics - this book offers a unique introduction to contract law by means of a comparative approach. It treats contract law as a discipline that can be studied on the basis of common principles and methods without being tied to a particular jurisdiction or legal culture. Perfectly pitched for international students and courses with a global outlook, Contract Law: A Comparative Introduction puts contract law in context by discussing empirical and economic insights. Key features: Introduces key principles by comparing solutions from different jurisdictions Wide variety of sources including German, English, French and Dutch law, European and international instruments, and examples from Central and Eastern Europe and Islamic contract law Discusses economic and empirical approaches where appropriate Focus on legal method as well as substantive law Innovative design uses text boxes, colour and graphics, making it an attractive tool for studying Designed with undergraduate courses in mind, the book also offers an excellent introduction to the field for anyone else interested in contract law. The innovative approach and engaging design of the book make it ideally suited for studying contract law in an international way, as well as for courses on comparative contract law.

Awards/获奖情况：“与大多数其他法律主体相比，合同法在实质和性质上更具国际性。因此，特别是，欧洲现代合同法，其历史基础和哲学基础都是相同的，合同合理当事人的假定意志通常是其学说演变的焦点。现今，在有欧盟的时代，内部市场是法律协调最有力的动力和驱动力。因此，合同法注定要发展成共同的参考文本，如欧洲合同法的原则，共同的教材，如简•斯密茨的合同法。简•斯密茨的书精彩地介绍了合同法的关键问题、主题和特点。这本书不是针对某一特定的国家读者，而是整个欧洲学生，能够而且应该阅读的。--雷因哈德齐默尔曼教授，德国汉堡马克斯普朗克学院

’Contract law is more international in substance and character than most other legal subjects. Thus, in particular, modern contract law in Europe rests on the same historical and philosophical foundations, and the hypothetical will of reasonable parties to a contract has usually been the focal point in the evolution of its doctrines. Today, in the age of the European Union, the internal market is the most powerful motivation, and driving force, for legal harmonization. Contract law is thus predestined for the development of common reference texts, such as the Principles of European Contract Law, and common teaching materials, such as Jan Smits’ Contract Law. Jan Smits’ book provides a splendid introduction to the key questions, themes, and features of contract law. It is not aimed at one specific national audience but can, and should, be read by students across Europe.’ --- Professor Reinhard Zimmermann, Max Planck Institute, Hamburg, Germany

’With Contract Law: A Comparative Introduction, Jan Smits again demonstrates why he is one of the best and most creative scholars in the area of private law. Professor Smits is able to balance breadth and depth of coverage to produce a valuable introductory book, which helps fill a tremendous need and void in the literature. The book’s mission as a self-described academic textbook is served at the highest level of analysis and elucidation. Its use of a wide array of civil, common, and international sources makes it not only a great textbook, but a valuable piece of scholarship for novice and scholar alike.’ --- Larry Di Matteo, University of Florida, US

’Contract Law: A Comparative Introduction may be recommended to beginners and advanced readers - both will find it very interesting and useful. Although the author discusses all relevant issues, the book remains very user-friendly as it explains all ideas in a comprehensive yet concise manner. Moreover, it is written in a clear and easily understandable language that is essential particularly for non English native speakers. Finally, the book is a first class textbook for any comparative contract law courses.’ --- Konrad Osajda, University of Warsaw, Studies & Analyses Office, Supreme Court of Poland
