Download or read book Globalization and its Terrors written by Teresa Brennan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has long been realised that the poorer countries of the south have paid for the unstoppable onward rush of globalisation in the exploitation of their natural and human resources. Recent events have made it clear that there may be a price to be paid in the west as well. In this elegant, lucidly argued account, Teresa Brennan argues that the evidence already exists that globalisation has for years been harming not just the poor of the third world but also its alleged beneficiaries in the affluent west. She shows how the speeding-up of contemporary capitalism, in which space is substituted for time, means that neither then environment nor the people who live in it are given the opportunity to regenerate and how this leads directly to pollution-induced, immune-deficient and stress-related disease. In a final chapter she suggests some alternative ways forward through a return to regionally based production and an emphasis on local economies.

Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility and Governance written by Samuel O. Idowu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the role of international standards for corporate governance in the context of corporate social responsibility. Based on the fundamentals of moral theory, the book examines governance and CSR in general, addressing questions such as: Is “good governance” not affected by moral concerns? How do the principles and practices of CSR standards adhere to or conflict with insights from business ethics and moral theory? To what extent do the standards and governance models provide normative guidance? Do the standards and governance guidelines provide an adequate means of benchmarking and auditing? Are these standards a help or a hindrance to stakeholder engagement and transparency? The book provides insightful and thought-provoking answers to these and many other important questions concerning CSR standards, and offers a valuable resource for practitioners, academics and students at business schools and other institutions.

Download or read book Information as a Driver of Sustainable Finance written by Nadia Linciano and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sustainable Development Goals introduced by the United Nations in 2016 call for the significant mobilisation of finance. However, although sustainable investments are steadily increasing, there still remain large gaps within financing and the information that financial markets rely on is often incomplete or incorrect. For instance, the financial system has been structured around short-term frameworks and goals while the most pressing environmental and social challenges are long-term. Prices do not convey the cost of externalities associated with social and environmental challenges. It is therefore important to implement the effective pricing of externalities and create a common language and taxonomy between investors, issuers and policy-makers in order to best serve sustainable development. Addressing this challenge, the authors delve deeper into the levers that can be pulled within the financial system to prompt an efficient ecosystem of sustainability-related information, allowing social and environmental externalities to be incorporated into the decision-making process of all market agents. Incentives needed for investors, issuers and intermediaries are proposed along with regulation that can trigger these incentives. This book offers a comprehensive collection of chapters which explore the ongoing evolution of the European regulatory framework, providing essential reading for policymakers, practitioners and researchers alike.
Download or read book Crime and Technology written by Ernesto U. Savona and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guido Rossi As Chairman of ISPAC, I want to thank all the contributors to this book that originates from the International Conference on Crime and Technology. This could be the end of my presentation if I did not feel uneasy not considering one of the problems I believe to be pivotal in the relationship between crime and technology. I shall also consider that the same relationship exists between terror and globalization, while globalization is stemming from technology and terror from crime. Transnational terrorism is today made possible by the vast array of communication tools. But the paradox is that if globalization facilitates terrorist violence, the fight against this war without borders is potentially disastrous for both economic development and globalization. Antiterrorist measures restrict mobility and financial flows, while new terrorist attacks could lead the way for an antiglobalist reaction. But the global society has yet to agree on a common definition of terrorism or on a common policy against it. The ordinary traditional criminal law is still depending on the sovereignty of national states, while international criminal justice is only a spotty and contested last resort. The fragmented and weak international institutions and underdeveloped civil societies have no power to enforce criminal justice against t- rorism. At the same time, the states that are its targets have no interest in applying the laws of war (the Geneva Conventions) to their fight against terrorists.
Download or read book MFN Standard as Substantive Treatment written by Mira Suleimenova and published by Nomos Verlag. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das Meistbegünstigungsprinzip (engl. "Most favoured nation", MFN) ist ein integraler Bestandteil praktisch aller heutigen Investitionssysteme. MFN-Klauseln in internationalen Investitionsabkommen signalisieren Anlegern staatlichen Schutz vor Diskriminierung. Ihre Durchsetzung in der Praxis ist nicht immer unproblematisch. Das Buch stellt die Funktionsweisen der Meistbegünstigung als Standard des internationalen Investitionsrechts umfassend dar. Ausgehend der Entwicklung des Konzepts im internationalen Recht, bietet die Autorin einen Überblick über die bestehenden staatlichen Praktiken bei der Aushandlung der MFN-Klauseln in bilateralen und internationalen Investitionsverträgen. Schließlich analysiert die Arbeit MFN-Klauseln auf ihr Potenzial hin, Diskriminierung zu verhindern und den "Import" von materiellen Schutzrechten in internationalen staatlichen Schiedsverfahren für Investoren zu ermöglichen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal Programming: Designing Legally Compliant RFID and Software Agent Architectures for Retail Processes and Beyond provides a process-oriented discussion of the legal concerns presented by agent-based technologies, processes and programming. It offers a general outline of the potential legal difficulties that could arise in relation to them, focusing on the programming of negotiation and contracting processes in a privacy, consumer and commercial context. The authors will elucidate how it is possible to create form of legal framework and design methodology for transaction agents, applicable in any environment and not just in a specific proprietary framework, that provides the right level of compliance and trust. Key elements considered include the design and programming of legally compliant methods, the determination of rights in respect of objects and variables, and ontologies and programming frameworks for agent interactions. Examples are used to illustrate the points made and provide a practical perspective.
