Abstract
The paper contrasts socio-legal research of commercial contractual relationships to conventional legal analysis of contracts. It reviews the works of scholars in various disciplines including law, economics, and management, and suggests that the most fruitful way to understand the actual role of contracts in business is to analyze their socio-legal functions, such as trust-building, communication channelling or symbolic ritual, within a wider socio-political context of this society.
