Hadfield: The Public and the Private in the Provision of Law for Global Transactions

Gillian Hadfield (Univ. of Southern California - Economics and Law) has posted The Public and the Private in the Provision of Law for Global Transactions (in Contractual Certainty in International Trade: Empirical Studies and Theoretical Debates on Institutional Support for Global Economic Exchanges, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
