Abstract
The contractual co-operation among two or more international construction companies to undertake jointly a particular large industrial project has become a central feature of the international construction industry. It is the primary legal and economic concern of the parties not to be confronted with legal consequences which were not expected when they entered into their agreement. Unfortunately, this overriding objective is difficult to accomplish in many instances. The legal systems in general and Egyptian law in particular have not kept pace with the evolving contractual characteristics and economic significance of the co-operation agreements employed in the international construction industry. A structural and conceptual framework for various forms of contractual co-operation arrangements is vital to establish (Chapter One). These arrangements as developed in the international practice are sometimes at variance with general provisions of the law of partnerships and classical concepts of contract law (Chapters Two through Seven). A comprehensive contractual framework is necessary, and statutory changes may be deemed desirable. The analysis under this study covers the internal relationships between the parties of the international construction co-operation on one hand, and their external responsibilities to the employer under the works contract on the other hand.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
