Abstract

Abstract This paper argues that in platform-based digitalisation of international trade processes, the use of blockchain instead of a central database system does not by itself adequately address the platform provider’s potential to engage in opportunistic behaviour. Digital transformation of international trade is, thus, constrained by hold-up problems. This requires embedding governance mechanisms in platform rulebooks designed to establish trust and commonality of interests. The article proposes a governance mechanism to promote widespread digital adoption through contract design choices based on guiding principles that can establish legally enforceable behavioural standards which align with the relational characteristics of digital trade networks.

摘要本文认为，在基于平台的国际贸易流程数字化中，使用区块链而不是中央数据库系统本身并不能充分解决平台提供商参与机会主义行为的潜力。因此，国际贸易的数字化转型受到阻碍问题的制约。这需要在旨在建立信任和利益共性的平台规则手册中嵌入治理机制。本文提出了一种治理机制，通过基于指导原则的合同设计选择来促进广泛的数字采用，这些指导原则可以建立法律上可执行的行为标准，这些标准与数字贸易网络的关系特征相一致。

期刊介绍： The Cambridge Law Journal publishes articles on all aspects of law. Special emphasis is placed on contemporary developments, but the journal''s range includes jurisprudence and legal history. An important feature of the journal is the Case and Comment section, in which members of the Cambridge Law Faculty and other distinguished contributors analyse recent judicial decisions, new legislation and current law reform proposals. The articles and case notes are designed to have the widest appeal to those interested in the law - whether as practitioners, students, teachers, judges or administrators - and to provide an opportunity for them to keep abreast of new ideas and the progress of legal reform. Each issue also contains an extensive section of book reviews.
