Law Economics & Finance Energy Medicine

Every book we add passes one test: would a senior professional in this field find it genuinely useful — or is it just filling a gap nobody noticed? The four titles in this edition passed that test clearly. One reframes the legal architecture of international sales contracts. Another brings a field-tested framework to the challenge of governing AI. A third maps the geopolitical and economic fault lines in the global race for critical minerals. And the fourth asks what justice actually demands of us in global health — not as a theoretical exercise, but as a practical question that shapes policy now.

This edition also marks the launch of two new sections on the CLNZ Books site: Professional Resources — a curated directory of leading journals, international organisations, and professional associations across our four collections — and News & Insights, where we publish brief, referenced summaries of significant developments in law, economics, energy, and medicine. Both are free, no registration required.
