Description

Consumer law and policy has emerged in the last half-century as a major policy concern for all nations.

This Handbook of original contributions provides an international and comparative analysis of central issues in consumer law and policy in developed and developing economies. The Handbook encompasses questions of both social policy and effective business regulation.

Many of the issues are common to all countries and are becoming increasingly globalised due to the growth in international trade and technological developments such as the Internet.

The authors provide a broad coverage of both substantive topics and institutional questions concerning optimal approaches to enforcement and the role of class actions in consumer policy.

It also includes comparative insights into the influential EU and US models of consumer law and relates consumer law to contemporary trends in human rights law.

Written by a carefully selected group of international experts, this text represents an authoritative resource for understanding contemporary and future developments in consumer law.

This Handbook will provide students, researchers and policymakers with an insight to the main policy debates in each context and provide models of legal regulation to assist in the evaluation of laws and the development of consumer law and policy.
