Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les points de convergence entre les entreprises multinationales et le droit de l'environnement apparaissent de nos jours évidents. Cette évolution a entraîné les entreprises multinationales à changer de comportement au regard de l'application de ce droit.En effet, ce changement s'avère profond et remet en cause certains acquis obtenus par les entreprises multinationales, sur le plan économique.Ainsi, contraintes à prendre en compte le droit de l'environnement pour faire face à des exigences aussi bien mondiales que locales en la matière, elles commencent à développer une certaine pratique dans ce domaine.Parallèlement, la montée du pouvoir des entreprises multinationales à travers le monde, le fait qu'elles soient sollicitées par des instances internationales et qu'elles y participent, entraîne l'attente d'une plus grande responsabilité juridique et sociale.La présente thèse analyse la manière dont les entreprises multinationales ont intégré le droit de l'environnement et si leur position stratégique leur permet de véhiculer les dispositions de ce droit.Cet ouvrage tente de démontrer d'une part, que l'intégration de la contrainte environnementale au sein des entreprises multinationales s'avère être un facteur de légitimation de leurs activités économiques et d'autre part, qu'elles peuvent être un vecteur de promotion de celui- ci.

This book was released on 2005-01-27 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alors que les menaces sur l'environnement se mondialisent et que se précise un sentiment d'urgence, la politique semble souvent en retrait par rapport aux impératifs de protection du milieu naturel dont dépend la sécurité physique, économique et culturelle des sociétés. Sur la base d'une expérience directe des négociations et des travaux universitaires les plus récents, cet ouvrage examine les dimensions politiques de la coopération internationale en matière d'environnement, retrace l'évolution des relations internationales dans le domaine, identifie les dynamiques présentes et explique pourquoi les progrès politiques semblent parfois si lents. Le rôle des différents acteurs, les fondements de la coopération internationale, les relations entre commerce et environnement et les questions de sécurité environnementale retiennent particulièrement l'attention. Destiné principalement aux étudiants en science politique mais aussi à tous ceux soucieux d'aller au-delà des slogans du jour, cet ouvrage fournit les éléments indispensables à la compréhension d'une des dimensions centrales des relations internationales du XXIe siècle.

Download or read book Institutional Ownership and Multinational Firms written by James J. Kennelly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study represents a rare empirical test of the assertions of critics of multinational corporations (MNCs), who argue that firm-level social and environmental performance suffers as MNCs grow increasingly mobile and subject to the short-term financial demands of institutional investors. Such critics argue that 'footloose' and 'stateless' MNCs have not only divorced themselves from a particular sense of responsibility to their home countries, but have also fallen increasingly under the sway of the 'myopic' demands of institutional investors. Using multiple regression analysis, the study considered the impact of various levels of multinationality and institutional ownership on the social and environmental performance of US-based manufacturing companies. Based on this empirical analysis, the radical critique of MNCs was not supported. Rather, the level of multinationality of firms was positively associated with social and environmental performance in the home country. This is a far cry from the demonized view of MNCs proffered by the critics. These findings suggest the possibility that MNCs may even have a positive influence on the development of a global economy that is consistent with the values and intent of vision of sustainable development. Ultimately, the study suggest that at a minimum, more attention should be paid to utilizing talents and competencies of MNCs in support of furthering positive social and environmental agendas.

Download or read book The Export of Hazard written by Jane H. Ives and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-03 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, first published in 1985, written by a distinguished group of legal and public policy experts, documents the growing trade in hazardous industries and toxic products. Hazard export threatens the health and environment of workers and ordinary citizens the world over. It is carried out by transnational corporations, in order to locate their most dangerous industrial activities outside the US, in countries where regulatory controls may be less strict. The issues represented here include occupational safety, environmental protection, international relations and problems of legal control. Attention is focused on the political and economic impact of hazard export on the US, Europe and developing countries, and the book’s critical analysis is addressed directly to the institutional level best suited to constructive action. This title will be of interest to students of business studies.

This book was released on 2010-05-12 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En droit international de l’investissement, le prisme de l’expropriation indirecte couvre une large catégorie de mesures – telles que les réglementations – qui n’impliquent pas de transfert de propriété mais aboutissent à une grave interférence avec un investissement. La définition des dépossessions indemnisables constitue une question extrêmement sensible, située à la croisée des chemins entre la protection des droits des investisseurs et la préservation des prérogatives de l’Etat. Cet ouvrage explore, à travers l’exemple de la réglementation environnementale, le droit applicable à cette notion controversée. Il montre que l’approche traditionnelle – reposant sur une dilution du concept d’expropriation – n’est nullement appropriée et il contribue à clarifier l’étendue de la protection de l’investisseur sur le fondement du droit de la responsabilité internationale de l’Etat. In international investment law, the prism of indirect expropriation includes a broad range of measures – such as regulatory measures – which do not involve a transfer of property but result in a serious interference with an investment. The definition of compensable taking is a very sensitive issue situated at the crossroads between the protection of investors' private rights and the safeguarding of the state's sovereign prerogatives. This book explores, through the example of environmental regulation, the law applicable to this controversial topic. It suggests that the traditional approach – based on an extension of the concept of expropriation – is inappropriate and it contributes to clarifying the scope of the international protection of the investor on the ground of the law of state responsibility.
