This unique study surveys franchise-specific legislation worldwide as a starting point for a thorough examination and analysis of the role of both private and public regulation of the sector in the context of current theoretical approaches to regulating contractual relationships. The book concludes that properly calibrated regulation can minimize inefficient allocations of power and risk and lead to maximum economic and social benefits by promoting the development of small business, enabling the growth of entrepreneurial skills, and facilitating economic well-being and independence among SMEs. This comparative survey will prove to be invaluable for academics in franchising marketing, management, law and practice. The Regulation of Franchising in the New Global Economy will also appeal to franchise law practitioners, consultants, policymakers and those wishing to influence policy on all sides of the debate in the many jurisdictions that are engaging in the processes of adopting, or reviewing, franchise regulation. 000040796 650_0 $$aFranchises (Retail trade)$$xLaw and legislation. 000040796 650_0 $$aInternational trade. 000040796 650_0 $$aGlobalization. 000040796 650_0 $$aComparative law. 000040796 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000040796 85641 $$uhttps://www.elgaronline.com/view/9781848448667.xml$$yView eBook 000040796 904__ $$aBook 000040796 980__ $$aOS
