Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This analysis of how multi-level networked governance has superseded the liberal system of interdependent states focuses on the role of law in mediating power and shows how lawyers have shaped the main features of capitalism,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.

Download or read book Neoliberal Legality written by Honor Brabazon and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neoliberalism has been studied as a political ideology, an historical moment, an economic programme, an institutional model, and a totalising political project. Yet the role of law in the neoliberal story has been relatively neglected, and the idea of neoliberalism as a juridical project has yet to be considered. That is: neoliberal law and its interrelations with neoliberal politics and economics has remained almost entirely neglected as a subject of research and debate. This book provides a systematic attempt to develop a holistic and coherent understanding of the relationship between law and neoliberalism. It does not, however, examine law and neoliberalism as fixed entities or as philosophical categories. And neither is its objective to uncover or devise a ‘law of neoliberalism’. Instead, it uses empirical evidence to explore and theorise the relationship between law and neoliberalism as dynamic and complex social phenomena. Developing a nuanced concept of ‘neoliberal legality’, neoliberalism, it is argued here, is as much a juridical project as a political and economic one. And it is only in understanding the juridical thrust of neoliberalism that we can hope to fully comprehend the specificities, and continuities, of the neoliberal period as a whole.

Download or read book Shareholder Democracy written by Lisa M. Fairfax and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a succinct, practical guide for understanding what some have referred to as shareholder democracy--efforts to facilitate and increase shareholder voting power within the corporation. In the past few years there has been a surge in shareholder activism that has had a profound impact on the corporation. Shareholders and other activists have sought to increase shareholders' voting power within the corporation based largely on the belief that increasing shareholder power will increase director and officer accountability, thereby helping to curb corporate misconduct and improve corporate performance. However, there is intense debate regarding whether increased shareholder power can achieve such objectives and whether increased shareholder power will negatively impact the corporation. This book is the first to provide a concise, but comprehensive look at the various ways in which shareholders have sought to enhance their voting power and influence within the corporation. In addition to examining shareholder activism, this book highlights and analyzes the debate regarding the propriety of increased shareholder power. This book also analyzes the impact of recent developments aimed at facilitating shareholder power such as majority voting, say on pay, and proxy access. This book will serve as a useful tool not only for those who desire a straight-forward analysis of shareholder rights and activism, but also for those seeking a reference guide on an issue of growing importance to corporate law and corporate governance.

Download or read book Retrotopia written by Zygmunt Bauman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have long since lost our faith in the idea that human beings could achieve human happiness in some future ideal state—a state that Thomas More, writing five centuries ago, tied to a topos, a fixed place, a land, an island, a sovereign state under a wise and benevolent ruler. But while we have lost our faith in utopias of all hues, the human aspiration that made this vision so compelling has not died. Instead it is re-emerging today as a vision focused not on the future but on the past, not on a future-to-be-created but on an abandoned and undead past that we could call retrotopia. The emergence of retrotopia is interwoven with the deepening gulf between power and politics that is a defining feature of our contemporary liquid-modern world—the gulf between the ability to get things done and the capability of deciding what things need to be done, a capability once vested with the territorially sovereign state. This deepening gulf has rendered nation-states unable to deliver on their promises, giving rise to a widespread disenchantment with the idea that the future will improve the human condition and a mistrust in the ability of nation-states to make this happen. True to the utopian spirit, retrotopia derives its stimulus from the urge to rectify the failings of the present human condition—though now by resurrecting the failed and forgotten potentials of the past. Imagined aspects of the past, genuine or putative, serve as the main landmarks today in drawing the road-map to a better world. Having lost all faith in the idea of building an alternative society of the future, many turn instead to the grand ideas of the past, buried but not yet dead. Such is retrotopia, the contours of which are examined by Zygmunt Bauman in this sharp dissection of our contemporary romance with the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When sixteen-year-old Amy wakes up in a hospital bed, terribly injured from a dive onto hidden rocks in a quarry, her shattered body is not the worst of her troubles. The worst of it is the fact that the body is not her own. An over-achiever from a wealthy Toronto family, Amy has somehow ended up in the body of Krystal, a troubled girl from North-End Kingston. No one, of course, believes what Amy says. Amy's drive and determination help her to build a new life, but all she really wants is to find her way back to the life she once had. Or does she? Amy by Any Other Name is a story about what makes us who were are-and about the human capacity to grow and change.

Download or read book Bullied written by Jeff Erno and published by Harmony Ink Press. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, all over the country, teenagers struggle with the realities of bullying. Tormented, ridiculed, and beaten—simply for being who they are—these teens face alienation, humiliation, and even the explicit assertion that they have somehow brought this upon themselves, that they should just blend in. Bullied is a series of short stories exploring the world of these teens from several different viewpoints: the victim, the bully, the gay bystander, the straight friend, the concerned parent. Closeted Bryan wonders why Christian Michaelson doesn't just try to blend in if he hates being bullied so much. Star athlete David isn't a homophobe—after all, he's not afraid of anything. Jonathan, a Christian fundamentalist, must weigh the Bible against peer pressure and what he knows is right when he discovers his childhood friend is gay. Bully victim Chase Devereaux finds an unexpected ally in a brave fellow student. A single mom struggles to accept the reality that her only son is gay. Two tough gay teens are forced to confront their own inner demons when tragedy befalls a classmate they failed to help. And overweight Kirby finds the strength of character to make a friend, which leads to a lifestyle change and a chance at love. Each character grows as an individual as he or she comes to terms with what it means to be a gay teenager in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il legislatore ha profondamente modificato la legge fallimentare adeguandola alle nuove realtà economiche (il primo intervento risale al 2005 con la Legge n. 80). Da ultimo sono intervenuti il D.L. 78/2010, convertito nella L.122/2010 e il D.L. 211/2011, convertito nella L. 214/2011. Queste modifiche, tra l’altro, hanno avuto quale finalità anche quella di utilizzare l’esperienza dei primi anni di applicazione e, dal 2008, si sono confrontate con la grave crisi economica in atto, con ciò consentendo di verificare l’applicazione pratica degli strumenti di gestione preconcorsuale e concorsuale delle crisi di impresa. Il libro esamina le novità in materia di procedure concorsuali (escluso il fallimento) soffermandosi in particolare, quanto alle gestioni concorsuali delle crisi di impresa, sul concordato fallimentare e sul concordato preventivo e, quanto alle gestioni preconcorsuali delle crisi di impresa, sul piano attestato e sugli accordi di ristrutturazione del debito. Vengono trattate le tematiche connesse alla prededucibilità dei crediti, all’esenzione dai reati di bancarotta e alle tematiche di carattere fiscale.

Download or read book L impresa in crisi written by Alfonso Badini Confalonieri and published by G Giappichelli Editore. This book was released on 2014-11-14 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume offre un quadro complessivo delle procedure proposte dal nostro ordinamento per la soluzione della crisi dell’impresa, ripercorrendo, con il contributo di magistrati, avvocati e commercialisti, le tappe del complesso iter compiuto dal legislatore nell’ultimo decennio e trattando, con profili interdisciplinari, le principali questioni dibattute in dottrina ed in giurisprudenza. In particolare, il volume tratta dei presupposti del concordato preventivo, dei suoi possibili contenuti e della procedura giudiziale di ammissione, argomenti sui quali si è maggiormente concentrata l’innovazione legislativa di questi ultimi anni e con essa una ricca produzione giurisprudenziale. Sono quindi sviluppati temi e istituti nuovi, quali il concordato con riserva, la continuità aziendale e il giudizio di fattibilità del tribunale. Non manca una ricostruzione sistematica degli accordi stragiudiziali nell’ambito della crisi d’impresa, anch’essi riformati con l’introduzione di strumenti tipici quali i piani attestati e gli accordi di ristrutturazione dei debiti. Viene dato spazio anche al trust, altro strumento negoziale, con la sua peculiare derivazione da ordinamenti esteri. Una specifica trattazione è dedicata alle varie attestazioni di veridicità, fattibilità e convenienza previste nel concordato preventivo, nei piani attestati e negli accordi di ristrutturazione, nonché ai principi nazionali e internazionali che devono essere osservati dall’esperto alle connesse sue responsabilità. Ancora, viene esaminata la transazione fiscale, sia nel concordato preventivo sia nell’accordo di ristrutturazione dei debiti, con particolare attenzione agli effetti della mancata accettazione della transazione stessa e alla vexata quaestio della sua rilevanza per un concordato con falcidia del credito erariale per Iva e ritenute. Infine, un esame dei profili penali, sia nella responsabilità dell’attestatore, sia nei reati di bancarotta semplice e preferenziale. L’insieme fornisce così, nell’ambito di una tematica sempre più attuale, il più aggiornato sforzo di esposizione sistematica di una tumultuosa evoluzione legislativa e giurisprudenziale, che ha propaggini significative ancora nel 2014.
