This volume offers a contemporary perspective on movable and intangible property law, focusing on risk management and asset liquidity in international transactions, while comparing common and civil law frameworks in modern finance.

Dalhuisen on Transnational and Comparative Commercial, Financial and Trade Law Volume 4 is a significant addition to legal literature, particularly in the context of movable and intangible property law. This volume adopts a contemporary approach to equip the next generation of lawyers with the tools needed to navigate the complexities of an increasingly internationalized legal landscape. It serves not only as a resource for aspiring legal professionals but also offers insights valuable to practicing lawyers and legislators.

The book explores the evolving models of movable property in commercial and financial transactions, focusing on the international flow of goods, services, and information. It highlights the modern lex mercatoria's emphasis on risk management, asset liquidity, and the finality of transactions and payments. The text delves into crucial concepts such as asset classes, monetary claims, and the transformation of assets throughout production and distribution chains. It also examines the rights associated with ownership, including user, income, and enjoyment rights, and the implications of party autonomy in establishing these rights in professional contexts and consumer transactions.

Furthermore, the volume provides a comparative analysis of common law and civil law systems, noting their distinct focuses—common law on value enhancement and civil law on consumption. This comparison underscores their relevance in contemporary finance and offers insights into future developments in the field. As part of a comprehensive six-volume series, this work can be studied independently for specific topics or collectively for a broader understanding of transnational comparative commercial, financial, and trade law.
