Download or read book Money Law Capital and the Changing Identity of the European Union written by Gabriella Gimigliano and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses 3 questions: is money a way to create a European Union identity? If so, which type of identity is this? And in what ways is the EU identity changing? The book brings together experts from a variety of backgrounds and academic approaches to analyse the law of money and payments on the one side, and the law of capital and investments on the other. The book is divided into 2 parts. Part I covers scriptural, electronic, and digital money. It analyses the European framework for payment services users, explores limits and challenges of the Banking Union, and looks at the project for a digital euro. Part II investigates the policy and regulatory drivers of the EU's changing identity, from the early modern roots of the European law of money and capital to the regulatory strategy set in the Capital Markets Union and the role conferred on venture capital; from the fintech-based developments of payment systems to the newly-established fiscal and monetary policies in the post-COVID phase. The book will be of interest to researchers, academics and policy makers in the fields of law and regulation, as well as political economy and political sciences.
Download or read book History of Luxembourg written by Samuel Ash and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-11 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luxembourg is in North Western Europe. One of the world's smallest countries, it is bordered by Belgium on the west and north, France on the south, and Germany on the northeast and east. Luxembourg has come under the control of many states and ruling houses in its long history, but it has been a separate, if not always autonomous, political unit since the 10th century. The ancient Saxon name of its capital city, Lucilinburhuc ("Little Fortress"), symbolized its strategic position as "the Gibraltar of the north," astride a major military route linking Germanic and Frankish territories. Luxembourg is a point of contact between the Germanic- and Romance-language communities of Europe, and three languages are regularly employed in the grand duchy itself: Luxembourgish, German, and French. The peoples of Luxembourg and their languages reflect the grand duchy's common interests and close historical relations with its neighbours. In the 20th century Luxembourg became a founding member of several international economic organizations. Perhaps most importantly, the grand duchy was an original member of the Benelux Economic Union (1944), which linked its economic life with that of the Netherlands and of Belgium and would subsequently form the core of the European Economic Community (EEC; ultimately succeeded by the European Union). The book on, Luxembourg history titled "History of Luxembourg

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luxembourg as an Immigration Success Story: The Grand Duchy in Pan-European Perspective, by Joel S. Fetzer, examines the relatively successful immigration and integration policies of Luxembourg, a country with one of the highest percentages of foreign-born residents in the world. Fetzer compares the Grand Duchy's immigration experience to that of the other members of the European Union. The work concludes that Luxembourg's success depends on a strong economy, low economic inequality, culturally similar immigrants, low segregation, and a pro-immigration elite consensus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Luxembourg the Grand Duchy and Its People The world appears to be fast outgrowing its Ruritanias. We are in an era of vast states and huge empires; there is not a little land but is threatened, more or less alarmingly, by a powerful neighbour, ready to throw out a bayonet-bristling frontier and so add yet more to the fabric of wide dominion. What Ruritanias have gone to make our empires of to-day, and with their going what romance has ended! What individuality and personality have often been swallowed up by the Moloch of Might, crushed in the arms of Ambition! But it is not only the imperial desire for the biggest possible "place in the sun" which is robbing the world of its Ruritanias. The Empire of Speed is one of the greediest.

Download or read book The Success and Failure of Right Wing Populist Parties in the Benelux Countries written by Léonie de Jonge and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-06-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the varied support for the populist radical right in the Benelux countries: Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Despite many common characteristics, right-wing populist parties have historically been more successful in the Netherlands and Flanders than in Luxembourg and Wallonia. This book argues that the variation in the success of right-wing populist parties depends to a large extent on the way in which they are perceived and received in a given polity. In the Netherlands and Flanders, mainstream parties and the media have contributed to politicising issues pertaining to immigration and national identity, thereby tilling the field for the populist radical right. In Luxembourg and Wallonia, mainstream parties and the media have resolutely limited the opportunities for right-wing populist challengers to influence the public debate. This volume will be of interest to practitioners as well as students and scholars of party politics, the media, the populist radical right and the Benelux region.
Download or read book Enduring Success written by Christian Stadler and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-05 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enduring Success addresses a key question in business today: How can companies succeed over time? To learn the source of enduring greatness, author Christian Stadler directed a team of eight researchers in a six-year study of some of Europe's oldest and most stellar companies, targeting nine that have survived for more than 100 years and have significantly outperformed the market over the past fifty years. Readers may wonder, "Why European companies?" Yet, Europe is the ideal place to seek the key to long-term success; half of the Fortune Global 500 companies that are 100 years old or older can be found in Europe, as can 72 of the 100 oldest family businesses in the world. Fifteen years after Collins and Porras' Built to Last, this new book incorporates fresh insights from management science and provides the first non-US perspective on long-range success. Through Stadler's study, a counterintuitive story emerges: the greatest companies adapt to a constantly changing environment by being intelligently conservative. Enduring Success provides a coherent framework, grounded in five principles and practical concepts, for business leaders who are prepared to learn from the history of some of the world's greatest institutions.

Book excerpt: When looking for bright growth performances in the EU, the focus is often put onIreland. But another interesting case in this respect is Luxembourg, whichexperienced very strong growth in output and employment over the last 20 years.The primary engine of growth in Luxembourg was the financial sector but other highvalue-added service activities have also flourished in the country. A favourableregulatory and fiscal environment as well as a tradition of social dialogue andconsensus constituted the main factors behind this success story. Beside thesefactors, this paper stresses the role of a mild taxation of labour income (especiallywhen compared with neighbouring countries). Low labour taxation contributed tocontaining the rise in labour costs while guaranteeing high net incomes to wageearnersand thereby helped attract many high value-added activities as well as amassive inflow of foreign workers. The challenge Luxembourg faces in the comingyears is to preserve the conditions of this performance and especially thefavourable taxation rates - in view of the tensions that demographic evolutions willimpose on the pension system.
