Download or read book Transit Norden och Europa written by Petra Broomans and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The IASS (International Association for Scandinavian Studies) is the international organization for the research of Nordic literature, culture and linguistics. Since 1956 the IASS conference has been organized every other year. In 2016, the 31th IASS conference took place in Groningen (Netherlands). This 2016 conference revolved around the 21st century as an era characterized by dynamics with different implications. These ongoing global transitions are reflected in the humanities; the dichotomy between centre and periphery has invaded the literary discourse. In many small language areas, more translated literature is being published than literature written in the national language. This implies that cultural mediators play a major role in the production of literature. Their efforts are made visible in a transnational approach to the history of literature.
Download or read book Travelling Ideas in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Petra Broomans and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travelling Ideas in the Long Nineteenth Century is about how ideas travel on the waves of cultural transfer. The volume focuses in particular on the exchange of ideas, knowledge and culture between the Nordic countries and continental Europe. It includes reflections on travelling and transmitting ideas through various forms, and takes a step further in scrutinising how new theories in literary, cultural and historical studies, as well as new methods, are influencing research in the field of cultural transfer and transmission. In the first part of the volume, the authors examine the export and import of ideas through literature in translation, travel letters, international education strategies and the establishment of artists' colonies. Attention is paid to how writers, artists and cultural transmitters used their cross-border mobility in transferring ideas and how they were connected to each other in new contact zones. The second part is dedicated to new research approaches, such as the use of digital instruments, and research on the strategies and politics behind translated literature. Here, translation bibliographies and the bibliographical data of national libraries, which today are often accessible in digital form, come under scrutiny. These sources are valuable objects of study in the mining of translation flows.

Download or read book Information Asymmetries in EU VAT written by Frank J.G. Nellen and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-04-24 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Unlike conventional direct taxes, the application and administration of value-added tax (VAT) depends to a considerable extent on the exchange of information between the taxable person and his transaction counterparts. In practice, the taxable person often fails to obtain necessary information from his transaction counterparts, giving rise to information asymmetries that can induce VAT assessments, sanctions, and audits. In its up-to-date overview of European Union (EU) VAT law, this book assesses legislation, case law, and practice at EU and national levels, in the process of examining how to minimize the risks and negative consequences associated with information asymmetries. As a result of his in-depth treatment of the subject, the author establishes the following: – to what extent information asymmetries in EU VAT have legal implications (e.g., VAT assessments, fines) for the taxable person; – to what extent information asymmetries shouldhave legal implications for the taxable person, taking into account the legal principles applicable in EU VAT; – to what extent positive EU VAT law indeed implies the risk of information asymmetries and any associated unjustified legal implications; and – to what extent legal remedies should be employed to avoid or to reduce information asymmetries for the taxable person. This is the first book to conduct thorough research into the causes and legal implications of information asymmetries, as well as the instruments which can be employed to counter their materialization. As such, it will be of inestimable value to practitioners, legislators, policymakers, entrepreneurs, judicial professionals, and academics concerned with EU VAT law. "
Download or read book New Maritime Business written by Byoung-Wook Ko and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a response to the unexpected challenges imposed on every aspect of today’s maritime business. All chapters of this book are concerned with the single challenge facing the maritime business world – that is, uncertainty. Each chapter deals with a specific area of the maritime business community in an effort to better understand the complicated markets, to seek for a solution of economic or financial sustainability under the pressure of climate changes, to discuss technology as an option for the future, and finally to show how to utilise the big data set for better informed decision- and policymaking that used to be unfeasible in terms of scale and capacity. It is hoped that all those endeavours are considered as the first small step towards practically transforming the industry in line with Schumpeter (1943) as well as academically changing a paradigm of thinking and scientific discovery in line with Kuhn (2012), so that the maritime industry is better informed and prepared, and can greatly contributing to human lives.
Download or read book The Integration of the European Community and Third States in Europe written by Andrew Evans and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the legal frameworks for integration provided by the EC Treaty, the Free Trade Agreement concluded between Sweden and the European Community in 1972, The Europe Agreement between Poland and the Community and the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement. The examination is based not solely on traditional legal materials, such as treaties and legislative acts, court decisions and the academic literature, but also draws on a range of official materials published by national governments and the European Union. Using these materials the book compares the operation of four types of legal frameworks for integration but also, with the assistance of the comparisons, explores underlying problems in the integration of the European Community and third states in Europe. In the case of many countries, notably those making up the former Soviet Union, membership of the European Union may not appear to offer a feasible basis for their participation in European integration processes, and so the construction of a mutually acceptable legal framework for close relations between such countries and the Community arguably presents one of the most serious and pressing problems to be tackled by European Law. Furthermore the construction of an appropriate framework depends on lessons being drawn from the operation of existing or pre-existing frameworks governing relations between the Community and third states. The same might be said in respect of plans for the creation of a Euro-Mediterranean area involving countries such as Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.

Download or read book Transport Revolutions written by Richard Gilbert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First released in 2007, the bestselling Transport Revolutions argued that land transport in the first half of the 21st century will feature at least two revolutions. One will involve the use of electric drives rather than internal combustion engines. Another will involve powering many of these drives directly from the electric grid - as trains and trolley buses are powered today - rather than from on-board fuel. Now available for the first time in paperback and updated with the most recent data, it sets out the challenges to our growing dependence on transport fuelled by low-priced oil. These challenges include an early peak in world oil production and profound climate change resulting in part from oil use. It proposes responses to ensure effective, secure movement of people and goods in ways that make the best use of renewable sources of energy while minimizing environmental impacts. Synthesizing engineering, economics, environment, organization, policy and technology in a detailed yet highly readable style, Transport Revolutions is essential reading for anyone working, studying or interested in transport and the environment.
