Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility in Times of Geopolitical Uncertainty written by Mariia Domina and published by Ethics International Press. This book was released on 2024-08-30 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book discusses the evolving nature of corporate social responsibility in times of geopolitical uncertainty. This uncertainty is prompted by geopolitical risks faced by modern companies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, as well as social and economic consequences of wars in Ukraine and elsewhere. Such geopolitical risks undeniably raise questions as to what the new “ethical” norm of corporate conduct should be. This book strives to evaluate the effectiveness of European legal approach regarding the conduct of commercial companies in the times of geopolitical uncertainty. Amongst jurisdictions considered in the book, a particular attention is paid to France. It is one of the leading European countries when it comes to the regulation of corporate conduct vis-à-vis the interests of a large group of stakeholders. As a case study to assess the effectiveness of European legal approach, the book looks at the geopolitical risks provoked by the war in Ukraine. This unique and timely study fills a void in this important area of research by exploring key arguments related to what corporate conduct is, or should be considered as “ethical” in times of geopolitical uncertainty.

Download or read book Compensating Landowners in the Vicinity of Airports written by Magdalena Habdas and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to consider the neighbour conflict arising between airports and neighbouring owners of land, particularly with residential uses, as well as to assess the existing solutions applied to manage or resolve that conflict. The book explains why the neighbour conflict between the airport and landowners is of a particular kind and what legal instruments are applied to address it in an attempt to balance the interests of opposing parties. Readers will develop an understanding of how the law operates when damage is caused by a legal act of the government and what the limits of compensable loss are. In addition, the reader will discover the economic foundations of possible solutions and why not all market losses are legally compensable. Key features of this book include: a consideration of key legal concepts such as neighbour law, nuisance, protection of property, land use restrictions, liability, and compensation to inform a unique analysis of neighbour law in the context of conflict between airports and neighbouring landowners; practical guidance on an airport’s legal liability towards neighbouring landowners; a comparative analysis of airport’s liability, compensation claims, their scope and economic effects; a comparative overview of planning and environmental solutions applied in a variety of jurisdictions; a discussion of valuation methods and challenges when loss of property value is the measure of compensation. The Author’s intention is to promote conscious and civil relations among market participants, as opposed to opportunistic and speculative behaviour. This book is important reading for lawyers, academics, PhD students and postgraduate students dealing with land use regulations, environmental law, compulsory purchase, eminent domain and expropriation issues, compensation for property restrictions, as well as with aviation law and legal aspects of airport operations.

Download or read book Law and Economics of the Coronavirus Crisis written by Klaus Mathis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-27 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coronavirus pandemic struck unexpectedly, posing unprecedented challenges around the world. At the same time, this crisis also offers a unique opportunity for reflection, research, and insight regarding this and similar global and domestic crises. There is much to be learned from analysing the effects of the crisis. It provides a chance for a fresh scholarly examination of important aspects of legal regulation, policymaking, and more. This volume pursues these questions from a broad range of Law and Economics perspectives and is divided into two parts. The first part examines the immediate impact of and responses to the coronavirus crisis, while the second explores the future possibilities that scholarly analysis of this crisis can offer. As to the immediate impact and responses, questions of compliance with regulations and safety measures, nudging and decision-making with regard to the coronavirus crisis are examined from the perspective of behavioural economics. In addition, the short- and long-term effects of various emergency policy responses on contract law are studied. Current issues and challenges like the regulation of internet platforms, excessive pricing, the right to adequate food, risk and loss allocation, as well as remote learning and examinations, which have been impacted, brought about, complicated or aggravated by the coronavirus crisis, are analysed in depth. Lastly, future possibilities in the areas of data access rights, economic instability and the balance between political-economic interests and social interests, patenting, food labels and open data are illustrated.

Download or read book Private Enforcement of Competition Law in Europe written by Rafael Amaro and published by Bruylant. This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the reader to key legal provisions and case-law related to the procedural and substantive issues that may arise in damages litigation for breach of anti-competitive agreements and abuses of a dominant position prohibitions. For the past decade, academic publications have focused on the proposal for a Directive on damages actions, then the Directive 2014/104/EU of 26 November 2014 itself, and finally the transposition texts. However, this understandable interest should not lead to overlook the fact that the Directive has been applied very little until now. This is mainly due to its application ratione temporis. In addition to the fact that Member States only transposed the Directive between the end of 2016 and 2018, Article 22 of the Directive provides that the substantive rules contained in the Directive cannot be applied to infringements subsequent to the national laws transposing them, while the procedural rules of the Directive apply to proceedings commenced on or after 26 December 2014. Thus, it is prior domestic law that continues to govern the vast majority of cases before national courts in the “Pre-Directive era.” In addition, a number of issues of the utmost importance have not been addressed by the Directive, such as questions of international jurisdiction or the quantification of “interests.” For these reasons, it seemed necessary not to limit this book to commenting on the Directive, important as it is, but to go beyond it. Directed by Rafael Amaro, this book contains the contributions from leading academics, attorneys, jurists and economists in the field of the private enforcement of competition law. It is composed of thematic chapters dealing with matters such as applicable law in international litigation, limitation, quantification of damages, from both a European Union and a national perspective, as well as national chapters presenting the state of play in several European States.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Professionalization written by Didier Demaziere and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-10-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professionalization has become a given in the worlds of work and education. For a wide variety of professions, public and private organizations and training and further education courses, professionalization is an inescapable reality. However, it takes on diverse, even contradictory meanings, according to what it represents: a managerial imperative imposed by public or managerial policies, or a set of goals defined by an ideal of service or quality of work. The purpose of Encyclopedia of Professionalization is to discuss the current challenges facing professionalization and, by exploring major research traditions, to clarify the meanings associated with this concept and the various phenomena it encompasses. Three major notions of professionalization are examined: the manufacturing of professions in pursuit of autonomy, the rise of professionalisms embodying notions of a job well done, and the construction of renewed professionalities at the very heart of work situations and training systems.

Like artificial intelligence, health is a field that involves a wide range of research disciplines. In order to better define and understand these social and technical developments, Al, Healthcare and Law brings together the thoughts and analyses of doctors, lawyers, economists and computer scientists. Through a wide range of original overviews of the issues involved, the book addresses questions such as the development of telemedicine, the use of medical data, the increased human perspective or medical ethics, and takes a multi-disciplinary and accessible approach to questioning the relationship between humans and computers, between the intimate and the machine.
