Examines private international law, and to a lesser extent the law of international economic relations, especially as they have been altered in eastern Europe in general and Hungary in particular to account for the change from centrally-controlled socialist to capitalist economies, and the new relations with such large international organizations as the General Agreement on Taxes and Tariffs, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Union. Covers general problems of private international law, the conflict rule and its application, people, property, contracts, unjust enrichment, intellectual property, succession, families, and labor. The first English edition was published in 1987; the second is translated from the fourth edition of Nezetk÷zi magßnjog Ts nemzetk÷zi gazdasßgi kapscolatok joga published by Nemzeti Tank÷nyvkiad= in 1997. Even with a fairly detailed table of contents, the lack of an index will limits its usefulness. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Read Less
