英语翻译
Negotiators should be forewarned about the legal traps that could transform a supposedly good agreement into a nightmare if the legal implications of the transaction are not carefully examined.It is imperative that negotiators be extremely careful in avoiding the risk of doing something illegal under the laws of either the home country or the host country.
Political Pluralism
The world consists of more than 100 countries,each with its own distinct political system and foreign policy.International business people are often caught in the crossfire of sometimes conflicting foreign policies of two or more countries.For example,an American executive in a French subsidiary of a U.S.company must be aware of both French and American foreign policies as they apply to engaging in a business relationship with Cuba or North Korea.A business deal that may be in the political and economic interests of France may run counter to those of the United States.
An example of such a situation is the construction of the Trans-Siberian pipeline in the former Soviet Union in the 1980s.Several European subsidiaries of American companies had negotiated contracts to supply such equipment as transformers,generators,and construction services for the pipeline.When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan,however,American foreign policy turned quite hostile toward the Soviet Union,and the U.S.government demanded that American firms and their subsidiaries stop supplying the equipment and services.But the European governments demanded that the subsidiaries of American companies based in European countries be permitted to fulfill their contracts with the Soviets,claiming that the pipeline supply contracts were in the national interests of the host European countries.Only diplomacy at the highest level finally resolved the problem.
The foreign policy of the host country also affects the conduct of international business negotiations.For example,the Datuk Seri Mahathir Mohamad,Prime Minister of Malaysia,is noted for his anti-European,anti-British political stance.Thus,English companies engaged in negotiating a business transaction with Malaysian companies would have to try extra hard to get the deal.This is especially true if non-European companies from countries that are friendly with the Malaysian government are also in the fray.
It is vital to understand the constraints imposed on the process of international business negotiations by the foreign policies of countries that are directly or indirectly affected by the outcome of such negotiations.parties involved should thoroughly study the potential political fallout of an international business deal before it is negotiated and the agreement is signed.

商业谈判中应该预先知道的一点是关于法律陷阱的,如果不仔细审视其中的法律漏洞,这个圈套可以让一个看起来双方满意的协议变成一个单方面的噩梦.这就需要谈判者在谈判中极其小心并且需要详细了解本国和对方国家的法律规定,这样才能避免风险.
政治多元化
世界上一百多个国家的政治体系和对外政策各有特点.做国际生意的人常常会陷入不同国家对外政策的差异之中深受其害.比如一个设立在美国的法国子公司,她的美方执行官如果想要同古巴或者北朝鲜建立业务关系,就需要对法美两国的对外政策十分清楚,因为这种商业关系虽然可能会在政治经济上符合法国的利益却有可能同美国的政治经济利益相违背.
有一个例子就很能够说明这种情况.当年前苏联在20世纪80年代开始建设跨西伯利亚石油管道的时候,有几个在欧洲的美国公司的子公司与苏联方面签订了协议合同,并负责提供变压器、发电机和管道建设服务.当苏联出兵入侵阿富汗,美国的外交政策就倾向于敌对苏联,因此美国政府要求美国的公司及其子公司停止向苏联提供装备和服务,但是欧洲的相关国家却认为这些子公司应该继续与苏联履行合约,宣称说与苏联的油罐建设合约不违背东道国的国家利益.最后还是最高层次的外交工作才解决了这个问题.
东道国的外交政策还影响国际商业谈判的进行.例如,马来西亚的首相,拿督斯马哈蒂尔`默罕默德就因他的反欧洲、反英国的政治立场而著名.因此英国的公司在和马来西亚的公司进行商业谈判的时候就需要特别费力才能拿到合约.而如果一个来自与菲律宾关系友好的国家的公司就会很容易获得许可.
This is especially true if non-European companies from countries that are friendly with the Malaysian government are also in the fray.（这一句确实看不懂,望见谅哈）
要了解国家对外政策中对跨国商务谈判的限制性条款和因素对谈判是至关重要的,因为这会直接或者间接地影响最终的谈判结果.因此在进行谈判和签署合约之前,双方要全面、审慎地考虑这单生意会附带有什么政治影响.
