1 This essay and others (Nos. 1,2,4, 39, 52 and 53) are concerned with a comparison of national laws rather than the law of international trade. This breadth of scope seems appropriate in view of the importance of comparative studies for the development of international trade law.

2 Updating the data in the 1985 essay as of June 1990, the 1980 Vienna Convention establishing uniform law for international sales has been adopted by 29 states. The list includes states in each inhabited continent and from each legal and economic system. The Convention entered into force for the United States and ten other states on January 1, 1988; entry into force for other states comes one year following the deposit of each instrument of adoption. See J. Honnold, Uniform Law for International Sales under the 1980 U.N. Convention (1982). (A revised and expanded edition is in the press.)
