French term

bouleversement

French to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Malgré quelques traits distinctifs, le bouleversement de l'économie contractuelle et la force majeure sont deux institutions fort proches. Elles requièrent toutes deux la survenance de circonstances imprévisibles ou imprévues, non imputables au débiteur.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): AllegroTrans

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Look at the term as a whole: bouleversement de l'économie contractuelle - not bouleversement de l'économie!!
Lavinia Pirlog (asker) Sep 3, 2013:
Yes Thank you.

Have you checked the dictonaries or glossary? This isn't an unusual term and has loads of solutions, all depending on the translation being done.

economic crisis(?)

significant change in the financial circumstances of the contract

Le ST ne parle pas de bouleversements économiques, mais de bouleversement de l'économie contractuelle (c'est à dire,l'économie du contrat, ou les circonstances économiques du contrat)

La question aurait dû inclure tous les mots bouleversement de l'économie contractuelle
