EU Pension Law (Hardcover): Yves Stevens EU Pension Law (Hardcover)
Yves Stevens
R3,498 Discovery Miles 34 980 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This timely book provides a comprehensive overview of European pension law with a dual purpose: both to introduce the legal aspects of different forms of pension at the European level, as well as to explore the main legal policy issues. Throughout the book, the three main types of pension - state pension, occupational pension and personal pension - are examined, together with the issues of financing, institutions, solvency, stakeholders, and rights and duties. The book therefore provides a nuanced guide to the field, going beyond merely a paraphrase of European law or the case law of the European Court of Justice. Yves Stevens also outlines the main principles of European pension law, reflecting on them from historical, sociological and teleological points of view. The constant interaction between law, economics and social policy is the reference point for the legal debates at the heart of this book. Offering a unique insight into how the European bodies work to bring about pension legislation, EU Pension Law will be a key resource for scholars and students in the fields of financial regulation and economics, European law, finance law and social security law.

Barry E Adler
R1,680 Discovery Miles 16 800 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In this Research Handbook, today's leading experts on the law and economics of corporate bankruptcy address fundamental issues such as the efficiency of bankruptcy, the role and treatment of creditors - particularly secured creditors - in the bankruptcy process, the allocation of going-concern surplus among claimants, the desirability of liquidation in the absence of such surplus, the role of contract in bankruptcy resolution, the role of derivatives in the bankruptcy process, the costs of the bankruptcy system, and the special case of financial institutions, among other topics.

The Evolution of Supplementary Pensions - 25 Years of Pension Reform (Hardcover): James Kolaczkowski, Michelle Maher, Yves... The Evolution of Supplementary Pensions - 25 Years of Pension Reform (Hardcover)
James Kolaczkowski, Michelle Maher, Yves Stevens, Jakob M. Werbrouck
R4,832 Discovery Miles 48 320 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Presenting the evolution of supplementary pensions over the past 25 years, this comprehensive book introduces the origin of pensions as a concept and explores the role that international organisations play within the field. It draws comparisons between different welfare states, reflecting upon current research and identifying new directions and ideas. Despite observing significant differences in the approaches to pension design, the book identifies common challenges, including the need to provide for an increasingly aging population, slow economic growth following the 2008 global financial crisis, the need for effective regulation, and increased labour market flexibility. Leading scholars analyse the experiences of a broad range of countries and offer insights into their responses to the numerous challenges faced by national pension systems. The book covers significant moments in pensions history following the World Bank's 1994 report on Averting the Old Age Crisis, and subsequent responses to challenges posed by longevity and economic crises. This book will be an ideal companion for academic researchers and financial law scholars interested in pensions and looking to develop an international perspective on the issue, as well as professionals in the pensions industry who are engaging with other countries and looking to develop their knowledge of overseas pension systems.

Financial Advice and Investor Protection - Comparative Law and Practice (Hardcover): Sandra Booysen Financial Advice and Investor Protection - Comparative Law and Practice (Hardcover)
Sandra Booysen
R5,386 Discovery Miles 53 860 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This comprehensive book offers a rigorous analysis of the legal debates, approaches and practice-related issues surrounding financial advice and investor protection. Despite widespread recognition of the importance of financial inclusion more broadly construed, recent financial crises have highlighted deficits in retail investor protection - this book informs the development of robust yet adaptable frameworks to protect investors, including effective enforcement and dispute resolution. Divided into three thematic parts, Financial Advice and Investor Protection begins with a holistic discussion of the subject, including an examination of the impact of relatively recent technical innovations such as robo-advice. The second part evaluates the role of private law in achieving investor protection, considering in particular how tort law, contract law and equity allocate risk and liability for investment advice. Finally, the book outlines the investor protection frameworks in the jurisdictions of six significant financial centres. This book will be a crucial read for various stakeholders in the investor protection debate including practitioners advising clients who work in this field, particularly across several of the jurisdictions covered, as well as policymakers interested in the development of law and regulation in this area. Scholars and students of financial law will also benefit from its comprehensive and critical treatment of the subject.

The Regulation of Tax Competition - Rethinking "Harmful" Tax Competition in a Global Context (Hardcover): Chidozie G.... The Regulation of Tax Competition - Rethinking "Harmful" Tax Competition in a Global Context (Hardcover)
Chidozie G. Chukwudumogu
R3,024 Discovery Miles 30 240 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This comprehensive book adopts a nuanced yet straightforward approach to analysing the complex phenomenon of international tax competition. Using the ongoing international efforts of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Union (EU) as a basis for its analysis, it explores the mixed effects of tax competition and offers an effective approach that takes account of the asymmetrical global context. Providing a history of the OECD's work on tax competition to date, Chidozie George Chukwudumogu argues against conventional efforts to merely restrict international tax competition, putting forward a wide regulatory approach that is more appropriate and considerate of the inequality of the states involved. The author further explains and simplifies complex terms and principles of international tax policy, demystifies common assumptions about tax competition, and identifies commonalities beyond the often polarizing debates on the topic. The Regulation of Tax Competition will be a crucial resource for academics, researchers and students with an interest in international tax law and policy. Policymakers in both international organisations such as the OECD and EU and in national governments will also benefit from awareness of the arguments explored in this book.

Anti-Money Laundering Regulation and Compliance - Key Problems and Practice Areas (Paperback): Alexander Dill Anti-Money Laundering Regulation and Compliance - Key Problems and Practice Areas (Paperback)
Alexander Dill
R2,330 Discovery Miles 23 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Anti-Money Laundering Regulation and Compliance: Key Problems and Practice Areas is a comprehensive treatment of the anti-money laundering/combatting the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) and sanctions compliance programs, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, and the best practices under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and sanctions regulatory regimes. AML/CFT and sanctions provisions are highly interrelated. Onboarding and customer due diligence requirements generate the data entered into transaction monitoring and screening systems. This book is unique in placing the prescriptive and program elements within the 'risk-based approach'that is foundational to AML/CFT compliance and the related risk management systems. Relatedly, the book describes corporate governance best practices and the 'three lines of defense' model that hold management accountable for exposure to money laundering and terrorist financing risks created by their business strategies. The book includes practical guidance on AML/CFT and sanctions model risk management, reflecting firms' growing reliance on machine learning and AI compliance solutions and the compliance risk of firms that adhere to Federal Reserve model risk management expectations. Also unique in the literature, it identifies a 'compliance paradox' that arises from the sharp tension between firms' modes of generating revenue and the law enforcement focus of AML/CFT and sanctions regulation and explains how this tension can compromise compliance. Anti-Money Laundering Regulation and Compliance also serves as a go-to guide for practitioners and beginners in the field or as a required text in graduate, certificate, and law school programs.

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.

A wide variety of expert contributions offer further examinations of the constitutional challenges of blockchain technologies that provide regulatory options for governments and lawmakers.

R3,338 Discovery Miles 33 380 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

At a time when climate change and the Covid-19 pandemic pose a global existential threat, this timely and important book explores how policy responses to a pandemic create both opportunities and challenges for the increased use of environmental pricing instruments, such as carbon taxes, and tradable permit schemes, and targeted green fiscal incentives.

Legitimacy and Effectiveness of ESMA's Soft Law (Hardcover): Marloes van Rijsbergen Legitimacy and Effectiveness of ESMA's Soft Law (Hardcover)
Marloes van Rijsbergen
R3,456 Discovery Miles 34 560 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This timely book explores pertinent questions around the legitimacy and effectiveness of EU agencies'AEo soft law, with a particular focus on the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). It examines the variety of ESMA'AEos existing and newly granted soft law-making powers, which were intended to deal with the lack of effectiveness of its predecessor but are now called into question due to the 'AEohard'AEo effect of these soft laws. Built on a combination of theoretical analysis and first-hand practical experience, Marloes van Rijsbergen tests the framework for each category of ESMA'AEos soft law instruments at each stage of the policy cycle, demonstrating that the framework can be applied to other EU agencies with similar soft law-making powers.

Comprehensive yet accessible, this book will be a key resource for students and scholars of EU financial law, constitutional law, public administration and governance. Providing an evaluation of the legal nature of ESMA'AEos soft law acts in the context of the financial sector, it will also prove valuable for practitioners, compliance officers and parties establishing other EU agencies.

Jin Sheng
R3,024 Discovery Miles 30 240 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In so doing the author posits that the BRI's ultimate objective is to export China's development model, which is characterised by a focus on exports, experimentalism, and oversupply of currency. The book also critically examines China's ambition to dominate the international economic order and set up its own favoured international rules.
