    Legal Aspects of International Business in International Trade

    International Trade is expanding day by day, small and big countries of the world are engaged in transfer
    of huge quantum of goods and services. The mutual contact between the parties, at time, creates legal
    problems. These problems arise from the first act of offer made by a trading partner and its acceptance
    by the other trading partner. The contracts created between the traders are generally binding on the
    parties.

    Goods are sold against letter of credits, guarantees, and post arrival payments or through barter trade.
    All these segments of trade processes create legal bindings. Where the legal instruments are properly
    made nothing happens, but where there are mistakes errors or short comings in the trade instruments,
    the fact may lead to dispute and litigation. These disputes create problem of jurisdiction, applicability of
    law, enforcement of judgments obtained and the interpretation of actions of the parties in arriving at
    trade contracts.

    They include, but are not limited to:

    • Political regime and stability.

    • Freedom of the press, rule of law, bureaucracy, corruption.

    How can political factors affect international trade?

    • National security issues can impact both the import and exports of a country, as some governments
    may not want advanced technological information to be sold to unfriendly foreign interests. Some
    governments use trade as a retaliatory measure if another country is politically or economically
    unfair.

    Modern political science can generally be divided into the three subdisciplines of comparative politics,
    international relations, and political theory.

    Functions of a Political System:

    • To maintain integration of society by determining norms.

    • To adapt and change elements of social, economic, religious systems necessary for achieving
    collective (political) goals.

    • To protect the integrity of the political system from outside threats.

    To theorize and understand corruption in a political context, Johnston (2005) reclassifies the three main
    political systems (i.e. democratic, hybrid and authoritarian) into regime types: Developed liberal
    democracies. New or reforming democracies.

    The major types of political systems are democracies, monarchies, oligarchies, and authoritarian and
    totalitarian regimes.

    and impacted almost every industry, including international business. Technology is ultimately
    what makes thriving international trade and businesses possible, and without technology,
    international business would be slow, tedious and time-consuming.

    • Technology is no longer reserved for specific countries or certain groups of people. These days, even
    the average person has access to some form of technology, which has aided the technological and
    international business revolution.
