ABSTRACT
In an era of globalisation, harmonisation of international sales law represents both an uncertainty and an opportunity for states. Domestic jurists are often wary of unfamiliar concepts in international documents. They may rightly fear that the originality of the concepts will lead to divergent interpretations in domestic courts. They may have difficulty in identifying the exact content of the law due to its newness and lack of interpretation. Nonetheless, harmonised and internationalised rules for resolving conflict can also expedite the flow of trade across state borders, thereby strengthening the economic power of the states which take part.
