Two introductions (a general one to the contributions and other on the UNCITRAL Insolvency Instruments history) with a foreword are followed by three sections: 1) each one of the seven UNCITRAL Instruments; 2) its continental impact (with the added division between America North, USA-Canada, and the rest); 3) global perspective with different focus: Common Law, Civil Law, Soft Law and treaties, and other methods. All chapters are written by experts having been UNCITRAL's Working Groups and Plenaries representatives from their Countries or from International Organizations.
