近几年来，国际商法（International Business Law）已经成为我国高等院校法学专业、国际经济与贸易专业、国际金融专业、国际商务专业、商务英语专业等竞相开设的一门课程;而且，为适应培养一大批国际化专门人才的迫切需要，满足教育部有关双语课程建设的要求，许多高校又纷纷把国际商法作为双语课程来建设和开设。为满足我国高等院校相关专业国际商法双语课程的教学与建设，以及对外经济与贸易实际工作的迫切需要，我们编写了这本《国际商法》（英文版）【International Business Law（English Version）】教材。
《国际商法（英文版）》在编写过程中，无论是在体系安排上，还是内容取舍上，都尽量做到与我们新近出版的中文版《国际商法》 ① 形成相辅相成之势，以便于学习者对照使用。因此，本书在内容体系上具有中文版《国际商法》一样的特色:以国际货物买卖为主线，选取与其相关的商事活动环节和领域，渐次展开对国际商事法律制度的研究和叙述，形成了国际商法的一个法律规范体系。这样的内容和体系安排，将更好地适应国际商法双语课程教学与实务工作的需要。
本书十分注重选用权威精准的法律英语语言，特别强调理论与实践相结合，充分体现了国际化、复合型人才培养对国际商法知识与技能的要求，既阐述了国际商法基本理论，又特别侧重实务知识与操作技能的训练，在每个章节安排了案例分析。为便于教学工作的具体开展，本书附录了《联合国国际货物买卖合同公约》（United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods，CISG）和《统一提单的若干法律规定的国际公约》（International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules of Law Relating to Bills of Lading，Hague Rules）。因此，本书既可以作为高等院校法学类、财经类专业国际商法双语课程的教材，以及MBA或EMBA教学用书、各类国际商务与法律培训的理想读物，也可以作为对外经济与贸易专业实务工作者的参考资料。
本书由张学森担任主编，负责总体策划、提出大纲、组织编写、统稿定稿，孔晓波、王 参加了编写提纲的前期讨论。各位作者及撰稿分工如下:张学森（第一、三章，第七章第1、2节，第九章第1、2、3节，第十章）;赵莉（第二、六章）;王 （第四、五章）;孔晓波（第七章第3节，第八章）;林安民（第九章第4节）。另外，何爱华对第三章编写提供了有益帮助。
在本书编写中，我们得到了复旦大学、华东政法大学、上海外国语大学、上海对外贸易学院、上海金融学院等高校研究机构专家学者的大力支持，在此表示衷心感谢。同时，在本书编写过程中，我们参考了大量的论文、著作、教材等学术文献，鉴于本书教材性质，引注或者挂一漏万，在此向广大专家学者表示衷心感谢。
由于水平有限，时间仓促，不足甚至错讹之处在所难免，真诚欢迎批评指正。本书主编的电子邮箱:drzxs@yahoo.cn或zhangxs@shfc.edu.cn。
