Rethinking the Regulation of Cryptoassets - Cryptographic Consensus Technology and the New Prospect (Hardcover): Syren Johnstone Rethinking the Regulation of Cryptoassets - Cryptographic Consensus Technology and the New Prospect (Hardcover)
Syren Johnstone
R3,573 Discovery Miles 35 730 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This thought-provoking book challenges the way we think about the regulation of cryptoassets based on cryptographic consensus technology. Bringing a timely new perspective, Syren Johnstone critiques the application of a financial regulation narrative to cryptoassets, questions the assumptions on which it is based, and considers its impact on industry development. Providing new insights into the dynamics of oversight regulation, Johnstone argues that the financial narrative stifles the 'New Prospect' for the formation of novel commercial relationships and institutional arrangements. The book asks whether regulations developed in the 20th century remain appropriate to apply to a technology emerging in the 21st, suggesting it is time to think about how to regulate for ecosystem development. Johnstone concludes with proposals for reform, positing a new framework that facilitates industry aspirations while remaining sustainable and compatible with regulatory objectives. Rethinking the Regulation of Cryptoassets will be an invaluable read for policy makers, regulators and technologists looking for a deeper understanding of the issues surrounding cryptoasset regulation and possible alternative approaches. It will also be of interest to scholars and students researching the intersection of law, technology, regulation and finance.

Digital Platforms and Global Law (Hardcover): Fabio Bassan Digital Platforms and Global Law (Hardcover)
Fabio Bassan
R2,625 Discovery Miles 26 250 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Digital Platforms and Global Law focuses on digital platforms and identifies their relevant legal profiles in terms of transnational and international law. It qualifies digital platforms as private legal orders, which exercise the legislative, executive, and (para)jurisdictional power within them. Starting from this assumption, the author studies the relationship between these orders and state, transnational, and international orders. The book first explores the reasons for the inadequacy of the current regulatory matrix and goes on to detail the need for a new paradigm; a shift from the current matrix of market regulation to one of negotiation. The author then examines the lack of effectiveness of current tools and explores how better versions, tools of uniform law, are emerging. This unique exploration will appeal to governments, regulatory authorities, digital platforms, businesses, and students and will find further audience with policy makers and practitioners.

Competition and Regulation in the Data Economy - Does Artificial Intelligence Demand a New Balance? (Hardcover): Gintare... Competition and Regulation in the Data Economy - Does Artificial Intelligence Demand a New Balance? (Hardcover)
Gintare Surblyte-Namaviciene
R3,338 Discovery Miles 33 380 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This incisive book provides a much-needed examination of the legal issues arising from the data economy, particularly in the light of the expanding role of algorithms and artificial intelligence in business and industry. In doing so, it discusses the pressing question of how to strike a balance in the law between the interests of a variety of stakeholders, such as AI industry, businesses and consumers. Investigating issues at the intersection of trade secrets and personal data as well as the potential legal conflicts to which this can give rise, Gintare Surblyte-Namaviciene examines what kinds of changes to the legal framework the growing data economy may require. Through an analysis of the way in which EU competition law may tackle algorithm-related problems the book also identifies a regulatory gap in the case of algorithmic manipulation in the business-to-consumer relationship. The book further argues that control by public bodies over terms and conditions often used in the data economy may be necessary for the sake of consumer protection. Scholars in competition law and regulatory governance, particularly those with an interest in the impacts of technology, will find this to be critical reading. It will also be beneficial to practitioners and policy makers working at the intersections of regulation and technology.

Guillermo A. Francia Iii, Jeffrey S. Zanzig
R6,432 Discovery Miles 64 320 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Recent years have seen a proliferation of cybersecurity guidance in the form of government regulations and standards with which organizations must comply. As society becomes more heavily dependent on cyberspace, increasing levels of security measures will need to be established and maintained to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information; the privacy of consumers; and the continuity of economic activity. Compliance is a measure of the extent to which a current state is in conformance with a desired state. The desired state is commonly operationalized through specific business objectives, professional standards, and regulations. Assurance services provide a means of evaluating the level of compliance with various cybersecurity requirements. The proposed book will summarize current cybersecurity guidance and provide a compendium of innovative and state-of-the-art compliance and assurance practices and tools that can function both as a reference and pedagogical source for practitioners and educators. This publication will provide a synopsis of current cybersecurity guidance that organizations should consider in establishing and updating their cybersecurity systems. Assurance services will also be addressed so that management and their auditors can regularly evaluate their extent of compliance. This book should be published because its theme will provide company management, practitioners, and academics with a good summary of current guidance and how to conduct assurance of appropriate compliance.

Digital Work Platforms at the Interface of Labour Law - Regulating Market Organisers (Hardcover): Eva Kocher Digital Work Platforms at the Interface of Labour Law - Regulating Market Organisers (Hardcover)
Eva Kocher
R3,214 Discovery Miles 32 140 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book shows how to design labour rights to effectively protect digital platform workers, organise accountability on digital work platforms, and guarantee workers' collective representation and action. It acknowledges that digital work platforms entail enormous risks for workers, and at the same time it reveals the extent to which labour law is in need of reconstruction. The book focusses on the conceptual links - often overlooked in the past - between labour law's categories and its regulatory approaches. By explaining and analysing the wealth of approaches that deconstruct and reconceptualise labour law, the book uncovers the organisational ideas that permeate labour law's categories as well as its policy approaches in a variety of jurisdictions. These ideas reveal a lack of fit between labour law's traditional concepts and digital platform work: digital work platforms rarely behave like hierarchical organisations; instead, they more often function as market organisers. The book provides a fresh perspective for international academic and policy debates on the regulation of digital work platforms, as well as on the purposes and foundations of labour law. It offers a way out of the impasse the debate around labour law classification has reached, by showing what labour law could learn from digital law approaches to platforms - and vice versa.
