In an era of globalization, international business has become more interconnected, dynamic, and complex. While global markets offer immense opportunities, they also present significant challenges, particularly when navigating the intricate landscape of legal frameworks and ethical standards. This book, Legal and Ethical Issues in International Business, aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the critical legal and ethical considerations that shape international business practices. The book delves into key topics, including international trade regulations, intellectual property rights, contract enforcement across borders, and corporate governance. It also explores the ethical dilemmas faced by multinational corporations, such as labor practices, environmental sustainability, and cultural sensitivity. By examining real-world case studies, readers will gain practical insights into how businesses can operate responsibly while adhering to international legal standards. This book is designed for students, scholars, policymakers, and business professionals who seek to deepen their understanding of the legal and ethical dimensions of international business. It encourages critical thinking and promotes responsible decision-making in a globalized economy. I extend my sincere gratitude to all the reviewers and institutions that supported the development of this book. I hope that this work will inspire readers to approach international business with integrity, commitment to ethical excellence, and respect for the law.
