This timely book explores the development of the European Social
Model and questions whether the relatively high level of social
protection provided, both in terms of social welfare provision and
in the creation of workers' rights and employment regulation, is
sustainable. At the 2000 Lisbon Council the Member States agreed
that this model was in need of modernisation if the objective of
creating the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy
in Europe was to be achieved. Consequently, this book examines the
economic rationale for EU social policy, identifies the main
factors promoting reform and assesses the priorities for reform in
the enlarged EU. As a result of a fruitful collaboration between
two authors from different disciplines, and culminating in several
contributions to the economic-legal analysis of the EU social
policy, this forward-looking book will be of great interest to
academics, EU policymakers and law practitioners.
Investigating the unique EU-CARICOM legal relationship, this book
explores the major theme of globalisation, which shapes
inter-regional organisations individually and determines their
relationship to one another. It evaluates how EU-CARICOM relations
have fostered trade, security and other development measures,
reflecting on the past, future and present of the Caribbean states
that are active in the EU-CARICOM framework. Providing case studies
on key issues such as immigration, tax and energy, it examines the
impact that the EU-CARICOM has on the slave trade and the
deportation of millions of people. Such bitter experiences still
indirectly shape culture, hopes and the economic framework of
possibilities today; therefore, the focus of the volume is on the
issues which the constant stream of globalisation creates. The book
assesses many potential impacts that the agenda of the EU and
Brexit pending will have upon the EU-CARICOM relationship, given
the potential for these to create instability. Overall, it
highlights how the EU and CARICOM are representations for
multilateralism and serve as models that provide the basis for many
successful initiatives and agreements. In all new agreements and
negotiations, the will to accept the Sustainable Development Goals
and thus to make inequality, climate change and other goals of the
SDGs the basis of an order that puts people at the centre, are
evaluated, and the global agenda 2030 and its impact on EU-CARICOM.

The 1998 Employment Rights (Dispute Resolution) and the 2002
Employment Act, seek to change the existing face of UK employment
law dispute resolution. Conciliation via in-house disciplinary and
appeal procedures must now be followed before resorting to a
tribunal hearing. Alternatively, in dismissal cases, employers and
employees can both agree to go to arbitration. As a consequence,
ADR takes centre stage in employment law dispute resolution.

We live in an era of economic austerity and political uncertainty.
This has profound implications for all areas of publicly funded
services; the justice system is no exception. During such times,
the judiciary must remain steadfast in maintaining their
independence irrespective of any funding model. Professor Hardy and
Sir Ryder set out a vision for the Justice system that takes a
strategic approach to the legal system, explicitly based on
national self-interest and commercial effectiveness. They argue
that, in striving for such a strategic approach to the justice
system, there should not be separate access to justice and business
reliance on the Rule of Law, as if they are separate worlds. The
authors advocate an approach enabling access to justice to be
efficient as well as effective, evidence based and founded on solid
analysis of needs and capabilities. This new strategic approach
would therefore be to ensure that the Judiciary, as 'one judiciary'
is equipped and skilled as proficiently as it possible and as
aligned and as effective in its leadership. The authors bring
unique expertise to the pursuit of 'one judiciary', carefully and
thoroughly analysing how such a system would work in theory and in
practice. This revolutionary monograph promises to be a defining
text in the field of judicial leadership. It is essential reading
for all Judicial Office Holders, legal policy makers, legal
practitioners and academics, and for all those with an interest in
human resources, business and management, psychology, and law.
This text maintains its position as the best-selling and original
text in the field, continuing to direct students to a better
understanding of the theoretical backbone that makes sport
marketing such a unique and vibrant subject to study.
Long considered Canadian, ice hockey is in truth a worldwide
phenomenon--and has been for centuries. In Hockey: A Global
History, Stephen Hardy and Andrew C. Holman draw on twenty-five
years of research to present THE monumental end-to-end history of
the sport. Here is the story of on-ice stars and organizational
visionaries, venues and classic games, the evolution of rules and
advances in equipment, and the ascendance of corporations and
instances of bureaucratic chicanery. Hardy and Holman chart modern
hockey's "birthing" in Montreal and follow its migration from
Canada south to the United States and east to Europe. The story
then shifts from the sport's emergence as a nationalist battlefront
to the movement of talent across international borders to the game
of today, where men and women at all levels of play lace 'em up on
the shinny ponds of Saskatchewan, the wide ice of the Olympics, and
across the breadth of Asia. Sweeping in scope and vivid with
detail, Hockey: A Global History is the saga of how the coolest
game changed the world--and vice versa.

The book reviews the evolution of labour law within the EU,
analyses the distinct regional approaches to employment and
welfare, and looks at the pressures for change within a further
enlarged EU. The authors then provide a basic outline of employment
law in each of the 28 member states, and in Turkey, Montenegro and
Bosnia Herzegovina (all of whom are preparing for membership). In
the six years since the second edition of this book was published
in 2010 the economic consequences of the global financial crisis of
2008 onwards have forced many EU member states to revisit their
labour laws, and attempt to make their labour markets more
competitive while remaining in the EU framework. These changes have
been incorporated into the third edition. The book identifies those
areas where the law is unified by the enactment of European
Directives, and regional differences which are potential pitfalls
for employers with workers in more than one EU state. It is
intended for HR persons, lawyers looking for basic knowledge,
policymakers & lawmakers elsewhere in EU, and EU bodies. About
the authors: Stephen Hardy LLB PhD FRSA MCIArb FHEAcad, is
Professor of Law and formerly a practising barrister specialising
in employment law. He is also a Judge of the First-tier Tribunal
(Social Entitlement Chamber). Mark Butler LLB LLM PhD is a
non-practising barrister and Lecturer in Law at Lancaster
University. He is the author of Spiramus's Equality and
Anti-Discrimination Law (2016) and the Deputy General Editor of
Sweet & Maxwell's Encyclopaedia of Employment Law.
In the UK, a cascade of Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of
Employment) Regulations/TUPE cases - notably and centrally upon the
service provision change, as well as the subsequent enactment of
the Collective Redundancies and the TUPE (Amendment) Regulations
2013 by the UK government - have made necessary this fourth edition
of TUPE: Law & Practice. The new 2013 Amendment Regulations, in
force from January 2014, are intended to clarify the issues raised
by recent cases and also to reduce the burdens on employers of
small enterprises in the UK. This guide provides analysis of: the
scope to "service provision changes" (i.e.
outsourcing/contracting-out and in), as well as clarification of
the Regulation 3 * key changes relating to transfer dismissals and
changes to terms and conditions * pensions obligations under TUPE *
clarified 'joint' consultation rights * the confusing application
of TUPE where the transferor is insolvent. Lawyers, politicians,
policymakers, HR practitioners, as well as academics, will find
that this book brings them up to speed on TUPE. This book aims to
keep pace with these changes, providing practical advice and
cutting edge analysis.
