Description
Addressing the issues surrounding the uniformity of transport law, Olena Bokareva provides an insight into both its theoretical foundations and the convention regimes that govern different modes of transport. Timely and engaging, this book considers a multitude of potential solutions at both international and EU levels.
Uniformity of Transport Law through International Regimes concerns transport conventions and other instruments dealing mainly with carriage of goods by sea and multimodal transport as well as examining the Rotterdam Rules as one of the solutions towards uniformity in carriage of goods law. The discussion on international uniformity in transport law is complemented by an examination of regional harmonization in the context of EU law-making and jurisprudence in the field of international transport. The comparison between international and regional regimes reveals the complexities in application and interpretation of the certain transport conventions, which is detrimental to achieving uniformity.
Providing a close examination of international and EU rules, other soft law instruments and case law, this comprehensive book will be a key resource for maritime and transport lawyers, law students and policymakers alike.
