The expert papers contained in this volume compare and contrast
different corporate law systems as regards governance of publicly
held corporations. The aim of the book is to assess how differences
in economic systems affect the corporate law system and how the
corporate law system in turn affects the economy. This work offers
a comprehensive survey of important corporate law systems and a
detailed analysis of the legal significance of corporate governance
mechanisms and their impact on the corporate law system. The topics
covered include shareholders' rights, role of the annual general
meeting, structure of the board of directors, rights of disclosure,
role of auditors, voting systems, fiduciary duties and methods of
enforcement. The authors focus on the issues of accountability and
the relation between the various actors within a corporation. The
legal analysis takes full account of economic reality and detailed
economic data support the legal arguments presented. This book is
the result of a project sponsored by Ceradi-Luiss Guido Carli,
Rome, and by the Brooklyn Law School Center for the Study of
International Business Law.
Sovereign states commonly use tax incentives in order to attract
investment and capital from abroad. Although it has been recognized
for many years that the forms and features of these incentives can
often have harmful effects, there has not until now been a clear,
in-depth, full-scale study of what these effects are, how they come
about, and how they can be minimized or avoided. Within this
volume, Carlo Pinto crystallises the extensive European and
American literature in the field, locating his legal analysis in an
EU law context that offers a framework within which tax lawyers in
both government and business can find common ground. This volume
builds an authoritative synthesis and proposal in its detailed
discussions of all aspects of the theory and practice of tax
competition, including the following: evidence of
interjurisdictional tax competition in the US experience and what
the EU can learn from it; methodologies to study tax competition;
economic evidence of tax competition in Europe; Member States'
"benchmark" tax systems; internal market distortion provisions of
the EU Treaty (Articles 96 and 97) and relevant EMU provisions. It
also examines the: applicability of state aid provisions (EC Treaty
Article 87) to direct tax measures; the EU "Code of Conduct" Group;
OECD countermeasures against harmful tax competition; and CFC
legislation. In the course of his presentation the author analyses
various tax regimes and court cases from most EU Member States,
outlining the issues and clarifications each brings to the central
questions. His final proposal demonstrates that the beneficial
effects of tax competition - decrease in direct tax burden,
improved efficiency in public administration, enhancement of
employment and development - need not be fraught with the risk of
fiscal degradation. This is a significant development in the
success of the projected harmonisation of taxation in the European
Union.
For many decades, Western European countries have undertaken
diverse pathways in tourism development and planning. Most have
experienced fast or even unlimited growth, resulting in overtourism
and, now, the introduction of policies that respect the limits of
communities and the sustainability of their resources. Focusing
exclusively on tourism development, planning and policy, this book
draws together new voices to discuss issues across Belgium,
Denmark, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greenland,
Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and
the UK. It: - Provides both successful and unsuccessful case
studies to illuminate real, practical solutions, developed by
tourism scholars who are experts in their researched context
countries. - Adopts a range of methodological approaches to cover
diverse and less-covered areas such as industrial tourism,
saltpans, natural and cultural heritage, and micro-destinations. -
Considers post-COVID tourism and the significant role of tourism
stakeholders in Western Europe's re-development. An invaluable
collection for policy-makers, researchers and academics, this book
is also an insightful source of engaging contemporary case studies
for use in the classroom.
