Georges De Leval
R12,263 Discovery Miles 122 630 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Providing an overview of the legal practice of seizure and overindebtedness in 12 countries of the European Union, this volume explores the issues in the format of separate country reports. Each report systematically addresses the following topics: a description of the law of enforcement and enforceable titles; goods subject to seizure and conservatory methods, with a description of the procedure of seizure; and the possible conflict with respect to seizures by different creditors.

International Regulatory Competition and Coordination - Perspectives on Economic Regulation in Europe and the United States... International Regulatory Competition and Coordination - Perspectives on Economic Regulation in Europe and the United States (Hardcover, New)
William Bratton, Joseph McCahery, Sol Picciotto, Colin Scott
R5,251 Discovery Miles 52 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The 1980s and 1990s have witnessed the emergence of globalized markets accompanied by an uneven process of national and international deregulation and re-regulation. The combined activities of transnational corporations in manufacturing industries (moving towards the global factory) and the newly privatized businesses in the energy, telecommunications and transportation sectors have fuelled an unprecedented growth in global markets and international business networks. The unexpected but now well established development of capitalism in eastern Europe and the boom in China's special economic zones have added still further to the opportunities and risks inherent in the rapidly developing global economy. For lawyers, economists, and political scientists one of the most significant aspects of the emergence of global markets is the question of regulation: how to regulate market access, product safety, consumer protection laws, financial services, probity and capital adequacy as well as anti-trust and competition laws and policies. Businesses complain that regulatory requirements frequently hinder the development of new markets. At the same time greater public awareness and concern, especially over other global issues such as environment protection, have raised the cost implications of regulatory requirements, sometimes astronmically. The essays in this volume attempt to address the success of efforts in the European Community, the US and elsewhere in the world to regulate in such a way as to accomodate both the interests of business and the wider interests of the public. The volume is divided into several sections, the first which deals with the globalization of regulatory processes. Other sections examine regulatory competition in the field of company law, self-regulation and competition in US corporate law; regulatory regimes in the European Union and the issue of regulatory coordination affecting economic and social insterests. This is an original and wide-ranging collection of essays which will attract a broad readership both in the US and Europe.

The Evolving Concept of Community Citizenship - From the Free Movement of Persons to Union Citizenship (Hardcover): Sandiacute... The Evolving Concept of Community Citizenship - From the Free Movement of Persons to Union Citizenship (Hardcover)
Sandiacute O'Leary, Ofra
R7,027 Discovery Miles 70 270 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Following the adoption of the Treaty on European Union, the concept of Community or Union citizenship has been the subject of widespread academic and political debate. Part I of the book provides a framework within which to examine the concept of Community or Union citizenship, discusses the importance of Member State nationality for both the free movement of persons in the European Community and Union citizenship and, finally, examines the traditional requirement in Community law of involvement in an economic activity. Part II focuses on the relationship between the principle of equal treatment and Union citizenship, given the fact that many of the rights conferred on Union citizens are simply extended to them on the basis of the principle of equal treatment. Finally, Part III looks beyond equal treatment and questions whether a direct relationship can be said to exist between Union citizens and the Union. It also suggests some of the issues relevant to citizenship which may feature at the forthcoming Intergovernmental Conference in 1996.

The Laws and Legal System of a Free-Market Cuba - A Prospectus for Business (Hardcover): Matias F.Travieso- Diaz The Laws and Legal System of a Free-Market Cuba - A Prospectus for Business (Hardcover)
Matias F.Travieso- Diaz
R2,850 Discovery Miles 28 500 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The re-entry of foreign-based businesses into Cuba will require a complete overhaul of Cuba's laws and legal institutions. It will also require enactment of major new legislation there, designed to enable and facilitate modern business transactions. Travieso-Diaz identifies these necessary legal, political, and economic changes, integrating legal and economic concepts in a way that businesspeople can understand and use in determining when it will be safe for them to reestablish business ties with Cuba. An important, readable resource for corporate management and their academic colleagues specializing in international business, trade, and investment.

Using a practical, results-oriented approach, Travieso-Diaz organizes his book into three parts. In Part One, he discusses the specific political and economic changes that must occur and how U.S. policy must be modified to permit resumption of commerce between the two countries. Part Two covers the main legal concerns of a foreign business entity seeking to invest in Cuba, such as the resolution of property confiscation claims by U.S. and Cuban nationals, the enactment of a suitable foreign investment law, and the development of a program for the privatization of state-owned enterprises. Part Three surveys other legal issues important to foreign investors and to others who prefer trade with Cuba, rather than investment in it. Travieso-Diaz also provides checklists of changes that must occur in each area he covers--trade, investment, privatization--to provide business decisionmakers with a way of determining when it makes sense to enter the Cuban market. He also identifies the laws that the Cuban government must enact, and the most favorable form they should take, to encourage full participation from other nations.

Reforming the Russian Legal System (Hardcover, New): Gordon B. Smith Reforming the Russian Legal System (Hardcover, New)
Gordon B. Smith
R3,405 Discovery Miles 34 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Reforming the Russian Legal System is a comprehensive analysis of the forces that are shaping legal reform in the republics of the former USSR. Looking beneath the flow of day-to-day developments, the book examines how traditional indigenous Russian legal values, and the 74-year experience with communism and 'socialist legality' are being combined with Western concepts of justice and due process to forge a new legal consciousness in Russia today. The author provides a broad historical survey of pre-revolutionary and Soviet-era legal developments, which provides a backdrop to the reforms initiated by Gorbachev. Chapters analysing constitutional law, criminal law and procedure, the Procuracy, and the laws governing the transition to a market economy illustrate the recurring themes of the book: the interaction of crosscurrents in Russian legal culture, and variations in the pace of legal reform from republic to republic and region to region.

Mary Ann Glendon
R1,494 Discovery Miles 14 940 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Mary Ann Glendon's A Nation Under Lawyers is a guided tour through the maze of the late-twentieth-century legal world, in which even lawyers themselves can lose their bearings. Glendon depicts the legal profession as a system in turbulence, where a variety of beliefs and ideals are vying for dominance. Dramatizing issues and events through stories of lawyers and laypersons caught up in the currents of change, she provides a frank assessment of the people and ideas that are transforming our law-dependent culture.

In this book, Haley argues that the weakness of legal controls throughout Japanese history has assured the development and strength of informal community controls based on custom and consensus to maintain order - an order characterized by remarkable stability with an equally significant degree of autonomy for individuals, communities, and businesses.

From General Estate to Special Interest - German Lawyers 1878-1933 (Hardcover, New): Kenneth F. Ledford From General Estate to Special Interest - German Lawyers 1878-1933 (Hardcover, New)
Kenneth F. Ledford
R3,463 Discovery Miles 34 630 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The history of German lawyers in private practice from 1878 to 1933 helps answer questions about the inability of German liberalism to withstand National Socialism in 1933. They won free entry and self-government for their profession in 1878, thinking these would lead to civic leadership and expanded liberty, but the changes that were unleashed revealed the limits of professional influence. Exaggerated expectations for the legal profession in public life exposed the limitations of procedural liberalism, with tragic consequences.

Clive Stanbrook, Philip Bentley
R7,682 Discovery Miles 76 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book, now in its third edition, is written for lawyers, trade associations and marketing managers. It is one of the first to deal with the new regulations on dumping and sub-sidies which were adopted to implement the European Union's obligations under the Uruguay Round's 1994 Anti-Dumping Code and the 1994 Subsidies and Countervailing Measures Code. It places the highly complex subject of dumping and sub-sidisation in its WTO and EU contexts before taking the reader through a legal and arithmetical analysis of the technicalities involved. The book has been completely revised and expanded since it was last published in 1983, and provides many more worked examples, and draws on the much enlarged case-law of the European Court of Justice to illustrate the discussion. With more than ten years additional experience since the last edition, the authors provide a stimulating analysis of the turning points in Community anti-dumping law: revocation of undertakings, non-cooperation, five year sunset reviews, screwdriver assembly, anti-absorption measures, newcomer reviews, and now, with the new reg-ulations, currency conversions, detailed rules on sampling methods, de minimis rules on injury, procedural deadlines, consumer interests and a new approach to circumvention.

The New European Private Law - Essays on the Future of Private Law in Europe (Hardcover): Martijn W. Hesselink The New European Private Law - Essays on the Future of Private Law in Europe (Hardcover)
Martijn W. Hesselink
R5,539 Discovery Miles 55 390 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In The New European Private Law Martijn W. Hesselink presents a revised and supplemented collection of essays written over the last five years on European private law. He argues that the creation of a common private law in Europe is not merely a matter of rediscovering the old ius commune or of neutrally establishing the present 'common core' which may be codified in a European Civil Code. Rather, it is a matter of making choices, some of which may be highly controversial. In his book he discusses some of the most important choices which will have to be made with regard to culture, principles, politics, models, rights, concepts and structure in the new European private law.

The Modern Corporation and American Political Thought - Law, Power, and Ideology (Paperback, New): Scott Bowman The Modern Corporation and American Political Thought - Law, Power, and Ideology (Paperback, New)
Scott Bowman
R1,386 Discovery Miles 13 860 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Despite all that has been written about business and its role in American life, contemporary theories about the modern corporation as a social and political institution have failed to explain adequately the pervasiveness and complexity of corporate power in the twentieth century. Through an analysis of history, law, ideology, and economics that spans two centuries, Scott R. Bowman attempts to offer a complete interpretation of the way corporate power has achieved its dominant position in American society today.

In The Modern Corporation and American Political Thought, Bowman demonstrates how judge-made and statutory laws have structured and regulated the growth of corporate power while preserving corporate autonomy. The argument unfolds within a historical framework that reconstructs the evolution of the corporation with reference to its two dimensions of power: internal (within the enterprise) and external (in society at large). Bowman examines and revises Marxist, pluralist, and managerial theories to develop his own political theory about class conflict and corporate power and offers fresh interpretations of the political thought of Herbert Croly, Walter Weyl, Thorstein Veblen, Peter F. Drucker, Adolph A. Berle, and John Kenneth Galbraith. Ultimately, this book sets forth the first political theory that adequately accounts for the power of the modern corporation in all its dimensions.

R2,849 Discovery Miles 28 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This collection of essays by some of the most respected American legal scholars represents the first investigation of the legal history of the Great Plains.

The four-part study offers overviews of law and the region, analyzes landmark cases, discusses the impact of important legal thinkers, and provides a short history and case studies of the work of leading jurists. Designed to whet the appetite of legal scholars and historians who want to consider new ideas and study a little-known field. This provocative work developed from the first conference ever held on law and the Great Plains. The contributors and the participants addressed fundamental questions about race, ethnicity, and civil rights and the legal culture of the region. This study is designed to whet the appetite of legal scholars and historians who want to consider new ideas and study a little-known field.

Milk Quotas - European Community and United Kingdom Law (Hardcover): Michael Cardwell Milk Quotas - European Community and United Kingdom Law (Hardcover)
Michael Cardwell
R3,276 Discovery Miles 32 760 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Since their introduction in 1984, milk quotas have become a prominent feature of the Common Agricultural Policy. The vigorous and yet at times questionable trade in milk quotas is a strong indication that its legal ramifications are underestimated at their peril. Indeed practitioners in this area cannot afford to ignore the astonishingly large number and high value of dealings in quota. Academics as well are no longer in doubt as to the importance of quota legislation and its ramifications. Milk quotas constitute a major and novel extension of Community power in the agricultural sector and represent a potent force in the development of Community law. Indeed, the Common Agricultural Policy gives rise to the single largest body of cases before the European Court of Justice with milk quotas taking a leading role. This indispensable and up-to-date practitioner's manual explores the influence that milk quotas have had on both EC and UK legislation. The author examines exactly how these quotas operate in relation to landlords, tenants, taxation and, consequently, rural culture itself. He goes on to consistently link the domestic effects of milk quota legislation to the European Court of Justice and identifies ways in which milk quota regulation is influencing other areas of EC law.

Charles J. McClain
R1,165 Discovery Miles 11 650 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Charles McClain's illuminating new study probes Chinese efforts to battle manifold discrimination - in housing, employment, and education - in nineteenth-century America. Challenging the stereotypical image of a passive, insular group, McClain reveals a politically savvy population capable of mobilizing to fight mistreatment. He draws on English- and Chinese-language documents and rarely studied sources to chronicle the ways the Chinese sought redress and change in American courts. McClain focuses on the San Francisco Bay Area, the home of almost one-fifth of the fifty thousand Chinese working in California in 1870. He cites cases in which Chinese laundrymen challenged the city of San Francisco's discriminatory building restrictions, and lawsuits brought by parents to protest the exclusion of Chinese children from public schools. While vindication in the courtroom did not always bring immediate change (Chinese schoolchildren in San Francisco continued to be segregated well into the twentieth century), the Chinese community's efforts were instrumental in establishing several legal landmarks. In their battles for justice, the Chinese community helped to clarify many judicial issues, including the parameters of the Fourteenth Amendment and the legal meanings of nondiscrimination and equality. Discussing a wide range of court cases and gleaning their larger constitutional significance, "In Search of Equality" brings to light an important chapter of American cultural and ethnic history. It should attract attention from American and legal historians, ethnic studies scholars, and students of California culture.

Robert Pritchard
R6,151 Discovery Miles 61 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This publication was inspired by the desire to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the Section on Business Law of the International Bar Association. Practising lawyers from all over the world have contributed to this book with their knowledge and expertise. The issues involved in the economic development process have been pursued with a practical approach. Bearing in mind that the legal system of each country is unique, that many countries are currently undergoing major programmes of legal reform, and that most development issues are country-specific, this study does not make any claim to comprehensiveness or coherency of treatment. It should serve as a source of practical information for a wide range of people interested in the legal aspects of development and investment issues, including the special issues associated with the use of foreign capital.

National Parliaments as Cornerstones of European Integration (Hardcover): Eivind Smith National Parliaments as Cornerstones of European Integration (Hardcover)
Eivind Smith
R5,061 Discovery Miles 50 610 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This study deals with the role of national parliaments in the perspective of European integration. It examines the relationship between national parliaments and the European Parliament. In order to find a solution to the problem of the democratic deficit in the EU, the author concludes that it is vital for European integration to create an efficient decision making process which is best served by centralization and majority voting. However, this runs counter to democratic legitimation, which is dependent on institutions at the national level.
