The world is flat and associations are going global, says Jerald A. Jacobs, general counsel for the ASAE and author of Association Law Handbook, in the second edition preface to International Legal Issues for Nonprofit Organizations. More and more associations are broadening the activities and programs they provide to an international audience. And although moving into an international arena presents important opportunities for organizations to expand their audience and influence doing so also comes with risks, not the least of which are legal risks. Some knowledge of the legal ramifications of international activities is absolutely crucial for associations that venture beyond American borders. Clear and understandable knowledge is what Jefferson C. Glassie has provided in this comprehensive introduction to the principal areas of law that affect associations international operations. In 11 sections and 47 chapters, he covers topics such as organizational structures, international tax laws, employment and membership issues, intellectual property, antitrust laws, trade laws, lobbying and political activity, and international litigation and dispute resolution. He presents each topic with a brief overview, important points, and a list of further resources for readers who need to explore further. In addition, the book includes a set of six appendixes that provide examples of various forms of relevant international legal documents, such as an international affiliate agreement, an international license and royalty agreement, an international conference management services agreement, and more.
