Die Arbeit untersucht Grund und Grenzen der Dispositionsbefugnis der Gesellschafter uber das GmbH-Vermoegen im Rahmen der sog. Organuntreue. Der normative Zusammenhang zwischen der juristischen Person und ihren naturlichen "Hinterleuten" wird in einem neuartigen und grundlegenden Zugang in seinem spezifisch gesellschaftsrechtlichen Kontext in Beziehung zu rechtsphilosophischen Begrundungszusammenhangen gesetzt, indem in Abgrenzung zu insbesondere systemtheoretischen und oekonomischen Ansatzen die Grundbegriffe Person, Institution und Korporation unabhangig von kontingenten funktionalistischen und wirtschaftlich-utilitaristischen Erwagungen uber ein freiheitlich-intersubjektives Anerkennungsverhaltnis bestimmt werden. Die Grenze einer Dispositionsbefugnis der GmbH-Gesellschafter wird dabei uber eine unternehmensbezogene teilhabegerechtigkeitstheoretische Aktualisierung der Kantischen Privatrechtslehre entwickelt.

The shift of economic gravity towards East Asia requires a critical examination of law's role in the Asian Century. This volume explores the diverse scholarly perspectives on law's role in the economic rise of East Asia and moves from general debates, such as whether law enjoys primacy over culture, state intervention or free markets in East Asian capitalism, to specific case studies looking at the nature of law in East Asian negotiations, contracts, trade policy and corporate governance. The collection of articles exposes the clefts and cleavages in the scholarly literature explaining law's form, function and future in the Asian Century.

The core structure of the regulatory regime for international civil aviation (the 'Chicago System') is inter-national. The features of the Chicago System were designed in an era when the world's airlines were State-owned, and the most pressing international concerns were for navigation and safety regulation. Economic liberalization and intense globalization since the Second World War have impacted on the industry; today, it is global. This book observes the developing governance of global aviation, taking into account the concepts of sovereignty, jurisdiction and territoriality, and the proliferation of actors and participants as partners in a global public policy network, to posit that an upgraded system of global governance for civil aviation helps to explain the emerging complex landscape for global governance of civil aviation. As evidence of the emerging, complex matrix of governance of global aviation, this book identifies and reviews a selection of contemporary, transnational economic and environmental challenges facing the globalized aviation sector, e.g. fair competition safeguards, consumer protection, noise pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, and the respective 'legal' and policy actions taken at national level (United Arab Emirates, Qatar and People's Republic of China), regional level (the European Union) and international level (UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and International Civil Aviation Organization). The book concludes that economic and environmental regulation of international aviation, designed for an inter-national world of yesterday, evolves into global governance of aviation, which is more suited for today's global world. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and practitioners of aviation law, competition law and environmental law, as well as in the areas of transnational law, global governance and international relations.

THE CREATION OF THE COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE EUROPEAN COAL AND STEEL COMMUNITY On 9th May, 1950, M. Robert Schuman, the then Foreign Minister of France, speaking at a Press Conference in Paris, outlined the idea of establishing a Community within Europe to control the production of coal and steel. "The French Govern ment", he stated, "propose to place the whole of the Franco German production of coal and steel under a common high authorityl within an organisation open to the participation of other countries of Europe ... This will form the first concrete step towards a European Federation, which is indispensable for peace" 2. This statement, apart from the specific mention of a high authority, does not mention any proposed organs of such a Community, and, as will appear, no firm idea of the Community's structure existed at all at that date. Six weeks after this announcement in Paris, a Conference composed of the six States that were to form the Coal and Steel 4 Community3 met under the presidency of M. Monnet * This Conference continued its work "consciencieux et discret, rue 5 Martignac" until March, 1951 * The first reference that one finds to a judicial organ to control the activity of the Community is contained in the document sub mitted by the Commissariat general au Plan 6. When compared with 1 The term is given in small letters as a description rather than as a title. 2 Bulletin Quotidien, llth May, 1950.

Die indische Wirtschaft boomt und wird in den kommenden Jahren zu einem der weltweit wichtigsten M&A-Ziele avancieren. Insbesondere deutsche Unternehmen haben Indien als einen der Absatzmarkte der Zukunft erkannt und sind dort zunehmend aktiv. Dabei kommt es vermehrt auch zum Erwerb borsennotierter indischer Unternehmen. Akquisitionen borsennotierter Unternehmen, die in Deutschland unter das Wertpapiererwerbs- und Ubernahmegesetz (WpUG) fallen, unterliegen auch in Indien einem speziellen Regelungsregime, namlich den Securities and Exchange Board of India (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 1997. Dieses Praxishandbuch gibt nach einer kurzen Darstellung des allgemeinen Rechtsrahmens fur auslandische Direktinvestitionen auf dem Subkontinent einen Uberblick uber den Ablauf offentlicher Ubernahmen in Indien. Dabei stellt der Autor auch vergleichende Bezuge zum deutschen Ubernahmerecht her.
