‘Passing-on’ occurs when harm or loss incurred by a business is
passed on to burden that business’s customers or the next level
of the supply chain. In this thoroughly revised and updated second
edition, the authors provide the only available comprehensive
examination of passing-on in damages and restitution under EU law.
The analysis covers a broad range of contexts including competition
damages and the repayment of charges. The book offers a systematic
examination of the key questions facing parties in a passing-on
situation: When can downstream claimants bring an action? How can
claimants demonstrate sufficient proximity to the original harmful
act or unjustified transaction? Will the possibility of passing-on
be relevant to the estimation of the award? These questions are
assessed for actions against the EU, a Member State and private
individuals. Key Features: A specific focus on EU law and guidance
that will be relevant to lawyers throughout the EU A multi-faceted
and fully contextualised analysis of the defence of passing-on and
the position of potential claimants downstream in the supply chain
Practical suggestions for consistent approaches to passing-on in EU
law across existing and future contexts Extensive updates
comprising new case law and materials across all contexts examined
An expansion of discussions to encompass crucial new developments
since the first edition of the book This magisterial work is an
invaluable point of reference for practitioners working in damages
and restitution law, but also in other fields of commercial law,
including competition law and consumer law. Legislators and
policy-makers in the EU and beyond will also benefit from the lucid
analysis of the various policy choices made in the EU and US.

This ground-breaking book makes visible the global counter-movement
for environmental justice. Combining 500 in-depth empirical
analyses of environmental conflict with expansive theorising in
ecological economics and political ecology, Joan MartÃnez-Alier
reveals that though grassroots movements for socio-economic
sustainability are deeply diverse, there are profound global
patterns of environmental action and empowerment. Using rich
personal and community stories of conflict drawn from the Atlas of
Environmental Justice, MartÃnez-Alier analyses the commonalities
shared by environmental defenders and offenders respectively. Each
narrative is set within a cohesive framework, emphasising the
diverse vocabularies, iconographies, and valuation languages of
poor and indigenous activists without losing sight of the global
scale of climate action and biodiversity loss. Revealing the
circularity gap at the centre of the industrial economy, the book
focuses on the frontiers of commodity extraction and waste
disposal. Alongside exploring diverse geographies of resistance and
protagonists of conflict, chapters delve into commodity extraction,
corporate irresponsibility, unequal trade, and feminist
neo-Malthusianism. Land, Water, Air and Freedom will be essential
reading for students and scholars of environmental social sciences
and humanities, anthropology, geography, international relations,
and ecology. It will also guide activists seeking to understand
their place in the movements for environmental justice and
environmental sustainability.
This incisive book evaluates the legal effects of soft law, its
foundations and how they behave in some of the most innovative
areas of EU law. Combining theory, language and sectoral insights,
this comprehensive review uses case studies to shed new light on
the three core areas of soft law. The book opens with an
exploration of the meaning and scope of EU soft law’s legal
effects from a theoretical and doctrinal perspective. Chapters
analyse the role, contribution and broader legal effectiveness of
the language employed by EU authorities when drafting soft law
instruments. Finally, in a ground-up approach to the research
topic, the book discusses soft law’s legal effects within three
areas of EU legislation, namely financial supervision, technical
standardisation and telecommunications law. Advancing a legal and
argumentative toolkit to evaluate and improve EU soft law’s
persuasiveness, this title will be advantageous to academics,
practitioners and policy-makers with specialisations in European
law, constitutional and administrative law and regulation and
governance.
Drawing together the work of leading researchers from various
disciplines and backgrounds, this illuminating Research Handbook
contributes to a revitalised understanding of migration governance.
It introduces novel debates regarding how actors and institutions
shape significant migration dynamics. This erudite Research
Handbook features a systematic review of the analytical framework
of global migration governance. Chapters identify and explain key
institutions involved in global migration, focusing on changes in
patterns and actor behaviours. Key actors explored in the Research
Handbook include international organisations, migrant networks,
civil society groups, smuggling cartels, religious transnational
organisations, security firms and trade unions. Ultimately, it aims
to contribute to a renewed understanding of migration drivers and
proceedings. Students and advanced scholars of international
relations and politics studying topics such as migration policy
will find this thorough Research Handbook to be incredibly
valuable. Experts and agents of international and non-government
organisations will additionally find it to be beneficial.
This timely book scrutinises the mechanisms for guaranteeing
respect for the rule of law in the European legal system. Focusing
on external relations, it assesses the capacity of the EU to
disseminate these values as a global actor and offers novel
suggestions for how this capacity could be exercised more
effectively. Using EU legislation and case law, the book identifies
the essential elements of the rule of law, and distinguishes the
general limits it places on the behaviour of public authorities.
Focusing on EU sanctions, trade policy and relations with
neighbouring and membership candidate countries, it argues that the
EU’s promotion of the rule of law internally and externally has
strengthened considerably over time. Nevertheless, given the
degradation of the rule of law on the international scene,
contributors call for an overhaul of EU rule of law policy to
uphold the EU’s ethical commitments and strengthen its
international standing. This book will be an important read for
scholars and students of European law, trade law and international
relations. Presenting detailed analyses of EU policy and case law,
it will also be highly useful for practitioners and policy-makers
seeking to promote human rights and democracy.
Positioning industrial relations in a discussion that is sensitive
to broader political, historical, and ideological tensions, this
insightful book offers reflections on the politics of de-regulation
that have developed in southern European work and employment
relations over the past 20 years. Interwoven with case studies from
Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain, the book reviews critical
debates and issues related to de-regulation in employment relations
and neoliberalism in southern Europe. Taking stock of major changes
and crises affecting these national contexts over time, from
austerity politics to the COVID-19 pandemic, chapters investigate
how new voices, actors, and social movements are beginning to
emerge and engage with the politics of work. The book ultimately
posits that debates on production and work need to pay closer
attention to changes in patterns of consumption and the changing
nature of worker voice, and highlights how these changes are being
used to undermine collective and social rights. Surveying political
shifts in collective worker voice and representation over time, the
book will benefit students and scholars of industrial relations,
labour studies, the sociology of work, and employment politics. Its
evaluation of the impact of de-regulation strategies imposed across
southern Europe will prove invaluable to practitioners and
policymakers involved in public employment and industrial
relations.
