This analysis of how multi-level networked governance has superseded the liberal system of interdependent states focuses on the role of law in mediating power and shows how lawyers have shaped the main features of capitalism, especially the transnational corporation. It covers the main institutions regulating the world economy, including the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO and a myriad of other bodies, and introduces the reader to key regulatory arenas: corporate governance, competition policy, investment protection, anti-corruption rules, corporate codes and corporate liability, international taxation, avoidance and evasion and the campaign to combat them, the offshore finance system, international financial regulation and its contribution to the financial crisis, trade rules and their interaction with standards especially for food safety and environmental protection, the regulation of key services (telecommunications and finance), intellectual property and the tensions between exclusive private rights and emergent forms of common and collective property in knowledge.

This is the first book to provide a comparative and critical analysis of why and how six corporate mechanisms - (1) sustainability reporting; (2) board gender diversity; (3) constituency directors; (4) stewardship codes; (5) directors' duty to act in the company's best interests; and (6) liability on companies, shareholders and directors - have been or can be used to promote sustainability in the four leading common law jurisdictions in Asia (Singapore, Hong Kong, India and Malaysia). A central challenge is, whether and if so, how the corporate mechanisms should be reconceptualised to promote sustainability in an environment that is characterised by controlling shareholders, particularly the government in state-owned enterprises. Because controlling shareholders are the norm for the majority of the world's companies, and state-owned enterprises play a significant role, this book has important insights on the problems and prospects of advancing sustainability in concentrated and mixed ownership jurisdictions.

The idea that the state is a fiduciary to its citizens has a long pedigree - ultimately reaching back to the ancient Greeks, and including Hobbes and Locke among its proponents. Public fiduciary theory is now experiencing a resurgence, with applications that range from international law, to insider trading by members of Congress, to election law and gerrymandering. This book is the first of its kind: a collection of chapters by leading writers on public fiduciary subject areas. The authors develop new accounts of how fiduciary principles apply to representation; to officials and judges; to problems of legitimacy and political obligation; to positive rights; to the state itself; and to the history of ideas. The resulting volume should be of great interest to political theorists and public law scholars, to private fiduciary law scholars, and to students seeking an introduction to this new and increasingly relevant area of study.

Das Buch beleuchtet neue Mobilitatsloesungen aus rechtlicher Perspektive. Der Bedarf nach neuen Mobilitatskonzepten im urbanen Raum besteht heute mehr denn je, etwa um die Feinstaubbelastung und den CO2-Ausstoss in Kommunen zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig dem massiven (auch pandemiebedingten) Anstieg des Pakettransports gerecht zu werden. Am Beispiel der LastMileTram wird der Ansatz verfolgt, den Pakettransport auf die Schiene zu verlegen. Hierzu sollen freie Kapazitaten der stadtischen Strassenbahnen genutzt und mit der Belieferung durch Lastenrader kombiniert werden. Im Rahmen des Projekts wurden zahlreiche rechtliche Herausforderungen der "Guterstrassenbahn" identifiziert. Diese werden in diesem Buch vorgestellt. Die rechtliche Analyse umfasst sowohl europarechtliche als auch nationale oeffentlich-rechtliche Aspekte. Zudem werden die zivilrechtlichen Haftungsverhaltnisse begutachtet. Daruber hinaus werden Anregungen zur Reformierung der Gesetzeslage eroertert.

The performance and survival of a business in a global economy depends on understanding and managing the risks-external and those embedded within its operations.It is vital to identify and prioritize significant risks and detect the weakest points. Adding other elements to an essential ERM program, such as PESTEL and Porter's 5 forces, treatment plans, scorecards, the three lines of defense (3LoD) components, and process improvements (six sigma, 8D, etc.) significantly increases the ERM success rate. The authors outline a comprehensive strategy to designing and implementing a robust and successful ERM program - and not just successful in implementation but also yielding enormous returns for the organizations that implemented this enhanced ERM program.
