Book SynopsisThis is the first comprehensive book that explores the subject of federalism from the perspective of comparative constitutional law, whilst simultaneously placing a strong emphasis on how federal systems work in practice. This focus is reflected in the book’s two most innovative elements. First, it analyses from a comparative point of view how government levels exercise their powers and interact in several highly topical policy areas like social welfare, environmental protection or migrant integration. Second, the book incorporates case law boxes discussing seminal judgments from federal systems worldwide and thus demonstrates the practical impact of constitutional jurisprudence on policymakers and citizens alike. “This is simply the best analysis of contemporary federalism currently available. It is comprehensive in its coverage, thorough in its analysis, and persuasive in its conclusions. Every student of federalism, from novice to expert, will find benefit from this volume.” Professor G Alan Tarr, Rutgers University “Wading through the thicket of the multiple forms that the federal idea has taken in the contemporary world, this remarkably comprehensive treatise backed by case law fills a long-awaited gap in the literature on comparative federalism. It combines a mastery of the literature on federal theory with a critical understanding of how it plays out in practice. Outstanding in the breadth of its scope, this magisterial survey will serve as a work of reference for generations of scholars who seek to understand how federalism works in developed as well as developing countries.” Professor Balveer Arora, Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi “This book is an extraordinarily handy work of reference on the diverse federal-type systems of the world. It handles both shared principles and differences of perspective, structure or practice with confidence and ease. It will become a standard work for scholars and practitioners working in the field.” Professor Cheryl Saunders, The University of Melbourne “This is a remarkable book – for its sheer breadth of scope, combining detail of practice with analysis of federal principles, and for its fresh look at federalism. With great erudition, drawing on world scholarship and the practice of federalism across the globe, Palermo and Kössler magnificently traverse from the ancient roots of federalism to the contemporary debates on ethno-cultural dimensions and participatory democracy. The book sets a new benchmark for the study of comparative federalism, providing new insights that are bound to influence practice in an era where federal arrangements are expected to deliver answers to key governance and societal challenges.” Professor Nico Steytler, University of the Western CapeTrade ReviewIn an increasingly crowded field, this new book on comparative federalism stands out for its iconoclasm, for its illuminating and entertaining selection of illustrative examples, but most of all for a significant methodological breakthrough that makes the book both more useful and more coherent than most of its predecessors ... Because they are not bound to the simplifications of a model, [the authors] are free to concede the enormous complexity of forces that shape federal states ... As a result, their accounts of conditions in individual states are unusually thorough, accurate, and persuasive. -- James A Gardner, University at Buffalo School of Law * Publius: The Journal of Federalism *... a work of great importance, strongly inspired by the need for a critical approach to the normative data, to identify and remove the clichés present in the debate ... a volume, in short, which marks the existence of a before and after in the studies on federalism and which is destined to be a point of reference on the subject. (Translated from the original Italian) -- Giuseppe Martinico * Rivista di Diritti Comparati *Comparative Federalism is a comprehensive and insightful reference work on the practical implementation of the ‘federal toolkit’, supported and enriched by informed historical and theoretical framing. The book is generally accessible, well laid out, and clearly written ... The book will appeal to a wide readership, most obviously those working on federalism and power-sharing arrangements from the perspectives of, inter alia, constitutional law and political science, as well as those interested in such topical issues as participatory democracy and multi-level governance. -- Timothy Jacob-Owens, European University Institute * EUI Constitutionalism and Politics Working Group Blog *... this latest contribution to the functioning of federalism is a valuable addition for both scholars and practitioners, especially lawyers who are faced with challenges regarding this subject. -- Mathias Eller * Federal Governance *… this work is certain to be a reference in the field, not only for scholars of federalism, but also for those who would like to approach the federal idea from a purely legal perspective. The clarity and multitude of its examples make it accessible for all those who intend to embark upon their study of the federal paradigm.

Book SynopsisLandmark Cases in the Law of Tort contains thirteen original essays on leading tort cases, ranging from the early nineteenth century to the present day. It is the third volume in a series of collected essays on landmark cases (the previous two volumes having dealt with restitution and contract). The cases examined raise a broad range of important issues across the law of tort, including such diverse areas as acts of state and public nuisance, as well as central questions relating to the tort of negligence. Several of the essays place cases in their historical context in ways that change our understanding of the case's significance. Sometimes the focus is on drawing out previously neglected aspects of cases which have been – undeservedly – assigned minor importance. Other essays explore the judicial methodologies and techniques that worked to shape leading principles of tort law. So much of tort law turns on cases, and there are so many cases, that all but the most recent decisions have a tendency to become reduced to terse propositions of law, so as to keep the subject manageable. This collection shows how important it is, despite the constant temptation to compression, not to lose sight of the contexts and nuances which qualify and illuminate so many leading authorities.Trade ReviewThis is a delightful book which repays the reader many times over - with historical information, with insight into legal doctrine, jurisprudence and the context within which these cases were decided. -- Professor Prue Vines * Torts Law Journal, Volume 19 *Like the book's predecessors (on restitution and contract), Landmark Cases in the Law of Tort is painstakingly researched and well written, giving valuable insights into key tort cases which are simply not available anywhere else...The authors of Landmark Cases in the Law of Tort display masterful command of sources not normally available to legal scholars, and offer fascinating insights into cases which, in various ways, have been crucial to the development of tort law as we know it. This collection is both important and enjoyable to read, and is to be warmly recommended. -- Robert H.

Book SynopsisWritten by a lawyer who works at the intersection between legal education and practice in access to justice and human rights, this book locates, describes and defines a collective identity for social justice lawyering in the UK. Underpinned by theories of cause lawyering and legal mobilisation, the book argues that it is vital to understand the positions that progressive lawyers collectively take in order to frame the connections they make between their personal and professional lives, the tools they use to achieve social change, as well as ethical tensions presented by their work. The book takes a reflexive ethnographic approach to capture the stories of 35 lawyers working to positively transform law and policy in the UK over the last 50 years. It also draws on a wealth of primary sources including case reports, historic campaign materials and media analysis alongside wider ethnographic interviews with academics, students and lawyers and participant observation at social justice conferences, workshops and events. The book explains the way in which lawyers’ networks facilitate their collective positioning and influence their strategic decision making, which in turn shapes their interactions with social activists, with other lawyers and with the state itself.Trade ReviewDifferences between lawyers identified as radical, cause or progressive can be difficult to discern. It is, however, interesting to explore possible distinctions. This book brings a new perspective to that task. -- Andy Boon * Frontiers of Socio-Legal Studies *Lawyers, Networks and Progressive Social Change is a welcome and long overdue study of progressive legal practice in the UK -- Tara Mulqueen * Modern Law Review *Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis book provides an innovative insight into the regulatory conundrum of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), deploying transnational legal analysis as a methodological framework to explore the most controversial area of risk governance. The book deconstructs hegemonic and counter-hegemonic transnational narratives on the governance of GMO risks, cutting across US law, EU law, the WTO Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures, and hybrid standard-setting regimes. Should uncertain risks be run unless adverse effects have been conclusively established, and should regulators only act where this is cost-benefit effective? Should risk managers make a convincing case that a product or process is safe enough for the relevant uncertain risks to be socially acceptable? How can intractable transnational regulatory conflicts be solved? The book complements a close analysis of regulatory frameworks and case law with a more encompassing perspective on the political, socio-economic and distributional implications of different approaches to the regulation of health and environmental risks at times of globalisation. The GMO deadlock thus becomes a lens through which to investigate the underlying value systems, goals, and impacts of transnational discourses on risk governance. Against this backdrop, the normative strand of analysis points to the limited ability of science and procedural deliberation to generate authentic agreement and to identify normatively legitimate solutions, in the absence of pre-existing shared perspectives.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThe so-called Quistclose trust probably represents the single most important application of equitable principles in commercial life. (Lord Millett in the foreword to this book). The decision of the House of Lords in Twinsectra v Yardley has refocused attention on the Quistclose trust. Although accepted by insolvency lawyers as a convenient tool for corporate rescue, the precise basis of the trust has always been in doubt. The purpose of these essays is to explore the foundations of the trust and subject them to a searching analysis. Contributors: Robert Stevens (Oxford), 'Rolls Razor Ltd'; William Swadling (Oxford), 'Orthodoxy'; James Penner (LSE), 'Lord Millett's Analysis'; Lionel Smith (McGill), 'Understanding the Power'; Robert Chambers (Alberta),'Restrictions on the Use of Money'; Peter Birks (Oxford),'Retrieving Tied Money'; Ewan McKendrick (Oxford), 'Commerce'; Robert Stevens (Oxford), 'Insolvency'; George Gretton (Edinburgh),'Scotland'.Trade ReviewAll students and practitioners who are required to deal with trust relationships should read this book, as it is a masterclass of learning and insight on the subject of trusts. Martin Palmer Journal of International Trust and Corporate Planning August 2004 ...it must be emphasised that this is an excellent collection of essays. The level of learning and scholarship contained therein is remarkable. From a practical perspective, this book has further confirmed that the Quistclose trust analysis remains somewhat unstable and lenders are better off relying on the conventional security, rather than structuring transactions around a Quistclose trust. From a personal perspective, the reviewer feels privileged to be able to review a book that contains Professor Birks' last published word on the subject of Quistclose trust.

Book SynopsisRecently the contract section of the German Civil Code was amended after one hundred years of un-altered existence. The German Law of Contract, radically recast, enlarged, and re-written since its first edition, now details and explains for the first time these changes for the benefit of Anglophone lawyers. One hundred and twenty translated contract decisions also make this work a unique source-book for students, academics, and practitioners. Along with its companion volume, The German Law of Torts, the two volumes provide one of the fullest accounts of the German Law of Obligations available in the English language. Through its method of presentation of German law, the book represents an original contribution to the art of comparison. An additional feature of the Contract volume is the way in which it reveals the growing impact which European Directives are having upon the traditional, liberal, contract model, thereby bringing German and English law closer to each other, especially in the area of consumer protection.Trade Review...a first class authority on contract law not only in the United Kingdom, but all throughout the common law world...the book not only sets out the law as it is today; it also has a strong historic component and shows how developments came about and what their roots are. For a real understanding, but also for teaching purposes, this is extremely valuable and almost indispensable...Common law lawyers will find all familiar aspects of what they expect from a book dealing with contract law. The book even deals with common law institutions unknown to German law...Even for German readers, it would be worthwhile and tempting to discuss almost every topic addressed in The German Law of Contract because the book is not only inspiring for common law lawyers, but for civil law lawyers as well. And what is more, in Germany the book could be, and already sometimes is, used by judges and practitioners to find reasonable advice when deciding their cases. Moreover, it makes an invaluable contribution to the discussions on the emerging European private law. It shows the solutions at which two influential legal systems, and especially their courts, have arrived in difficult cases. It also demonstrates the arguments on which they have relied. I am not aware of a German book on English contract law that reaches the same high scientific level as The German Law of Contract and fulfils at the same time all requirements that the needs of practical application request. The book must be strongly recommended to everyone interested in, and concerned with, contract law as well as comparative law.

Book SynopsisContractual remedies aimed at performance create a well-known rift between common law and civil law traditions, in the one existing in the shadow of damages, whilst in the other regarded as a generally enforceable right following from the contract. Developments in approximation of laws in Europe, in particular in consumer sales law, suggest however that a convergence of these approaches may be within reach. Putting the focus on the contract of sale, which as the most common type of contract may fulfil a leading role in the harmonisation process, this book aims to provide a model for further convergence of European sales laws, engaging with issues of contract theory and comparative law lying at the heart of the process. Independently from this, the comparison between different systems is used in order to highlight particular problems in the remedial schemes of individual systems and to see whether a better solution may be borrowed from elsewhere. Scaling the interests of sellers and buyers as reflected in national laws as well as in uniform sets of rules such as CISG and PECL, a plea is made for a primary position for performance-oriented remedies in the harmonisation of European sales law. In this context, special significance is attributed to the possibility of cure by the seller, which has both practical and conceptual links to the buyer's remedies aimed at performance.Trade Reviewan important addition to the literature this is a book which will be of interest to many, and it deserves to be read widely. Christian Twigg-Flesner Journal of Consumer Policy 2009 The thrust of Vanessa Mak's thesis ... is a very rich comparative analysis of the 'performance-oriented remedies' in sale of goods contracts. We have nothing but praise for the clarity, the courage and the intelligence with which Vanessa Mak develops what she hold to be the best remedial regime for a future unique European sales law Yves-Maries Laithier European Review of Contract Law Vol. 5, 2009, No. 4 It is a crisp combination of comparative law expertise and obligations scholarship, with a clear end in mind; its exposition is correspondingly limpid and ordered. This book is a well-written and excellent piece of work, and will be very valuable background reading for students and professors of contract and comparative law.

Book SynopsisAutonomy is a vital principle in medical law and ethics. It occupies a prominent place in all medico-legal and ethical debate. But there is a dangerous presumption that it should have the only vote, or at least the casting vote. This book is an assault on that presumption, and an audit of autonomy's extraordinary status. This book surveys the main issues in medical law, noting in relation to each issue the power wielded by autonomy, asking whether that power can be justified, and suggesting how other principles can and should contribute to the law. It concludes that autonomy's status cannot be intellectually or ethically justified, and that positive discrimination in favour of the other balancing principles is urgently needed in order to avoid some sinister results. 'This book is a sustained attack on the hegemony of the idea of autonomy in medical ethics and law. Charles Foster is no respecter of authority, whether of university professors or of law Lords. He grabs his readers by their lapels and shakes sense into them through a combination of no-nonsense rhetoric and subtle argument that is difficult to resist.' Tony Hope, Professor of Medical Ethics, Oxford University 'This book is unlikely to be in pristine state by the time you have finished reading it. Whether that is because you have thrown it in the air in celebration or thrown it across the room in frustration will depend on your perspective. But this book cannot leave you cold. It is a powerful polemic on the dominance of autonomy in medical law, which demands a reaction. Charles Foster sets out a powerful case that academic medical lawyers have elevated autonomy to a status it does not deserve in either ethical or legal terms. In a highly engaging, accessible account, he challenges many of the views which have become orthodox within the academic community. This will be a book which demands and will attract considerable debate.' Jonathan Herring, Exeter College, Oxford University 'This is a learned, lively and thought-provoking discussion of problems central to the courts' approach to ethical issues in medical law. What principles are involved? More significantly, which really underlie and inform the process of seeking justice in difficult cases? Charles Foster persuasively argues, and demonstrates, that respect for autonomy is but one of a number of ethical principles which interact and may conflict. He also addresses the sensitive issue of the extent to which thoughts and factors which go to influence legal decisions may not appear in the judgments.' Adrian Whitfield QC. 'Introducing the Jake La Motta of medical ethics. Foster is an academic street-fighter who has bloodied his hands in the court room. He provides a stinging, relentless, ground attack on the Goliath of medical ethics: the central place of autonomy in liberal medical ethics. This is now the first port of call for those who feel that medical ethics has become autonomized.' Julian Savulescu, Uehiro Chair in Practical Ethics, University of Oxford. "This important book offers a robust challenge to anyone, whether lawyer or 'ethicist', who sees respect for autonomy as the only game in town. It argues eloquently and effectively that, on the one hand, despite the reverence paid to it by judges, in practice the law, even in the context of consent, weaves together a number of moral threads of which autonomy is merely one, in the pursuit of a good decision. It argues on the other hand, that were the day-to-day practice of law to be guided primarily by respect for autonomy, this would be wrong. Foster concludes that whilst, 'any society that does not have laws robustly protecting autonomy is an unsafe and unhappy one', so too would be a society in which too much emphasis was placed on respect for autonomy at the expense of other important moral principles. This is essential reading for anyone interested in the role of autonomy and indeed of medical ethics, in the law." Michael Parker, Professor of Bioethics, University of OxfordTrade Review...written in a very powerful and thought-provoking style and will be an intriguing read for anyone interested in understanding the wide range of concrete cases that Foster considers. ...if read open-mindedly and with a view to understanding the main principles used in biomedical contexts, Foster's book has the potential to make a distinctive contribution to the debate about the role of autonomy...he has undeniably produced a book that will inject some life into the often stale academic debates on the topic. Mirko Daniel Garasic Plurilogue August 2011 ...fresh, clear and eminently readable...This is a short book, passionately argued, which all those interested in medical law, and the rights and duties of patients and doctors, should read. You may disagree: you won't be bored. Bio-Science Law Review Vol 10, Issue 3, 2009 This is certainly a useful book for people wishing to understand some of the legal background in key areas of medical law...it is also worthy of consideration in its own right by anyone seeking an alternative perspective on autonomy in health care ethics. Vincent Mitchell Nursing Ethics 16 (6), 2009 This book provides an accessible critique of the principle of 'autonomy' in the context of medical law. As a lawyer himself, Charles Foster succinctly summarises the various legal issues arising, as the title suggests, from conception to death. Antony Blackburn-Starza BioNews Newsletter 5th January 2010 This book is an important challenge to the dominance of autonomy in medical ethics and law ... [it] will ... be a useful and thought-provoking resource for those studying or teaching medical law and ethics. Mark Campbell Triple Helix Easter 2010 This is an important addition to the ongoing ethical, as well as medico-legal debate regarding autonomy. Foster's work provides an excellent point of departure for those new to the area, as well as a rich source of reference material for subsequent investigations. Doug Morrison Medical Law Review June 2010 Are you a hirsute medical lawyer, with a low blood pressure and writer's block? Then this is the book for you. You will not have to read too many pages before your blood will be boiling, you will be pulling out your hair, and grabbing your keyboard to type a furious riposte. .. This book is a powerful challenge to the role that autonomy plays in medical law and ethics. The book demonstrates a wide-ranging understanding of the law. Few authors could hope to make as many sharp points as Foster does in such a short space of time. This must be the most fast-paced and easy-to-read book on the topic. For that reason it may well be of interest to students and no doubt lecturers will enjoy setting their chapters for students to read in order to provoke a response. Therein lies the strength of this book. It is a book that demands a reaction. Jonathan Herring Legal Studies Volume 30, No 2 Charles Foster's book provides a welcome addition to the literature by confronting some of these premises in the context of English medical law. Katri Lohmus Social and Legal Studies 19 (3) 2010 Charles Foster minces no words. Choosing Life, Choosing Death is a comprehensive and passionately argued attack against the "tyranny of autonomy" in medical ethics and law.

Book SynopsisOne of the most significant constitutional developments of the past century has been the creation and proliferation of O'administrative tribunals' the main function of which is to adjudicate disputes between citizens and the state by reviewing decisions of government agencies - a task also performed by courts in 'judicial review' proceedings and appeals. Tribunals in aggregate adjudicate many more such disputes than courts, but have received relatively little scholarly attention. This book compares tribunals in Australia, the UK and the US. It offers an account of the concept of 'administrative adjudication', and traces its historical development from the earliest periods of the common law to the twenty-first century. There are chapters dealing with the design of tribunals and tribunal systems and with what tribunals do, what they are for and how they interact with their users. The book ends with a discussion of the place of tribunals in the 'administrative justice system' and speculation about possible future developments. Administrative Tribunals and Adjudication fills a significant gap in the literature and will be of great value to public lawyers and others interested in government accountability.Trade Review...the book provides a clear theoretical analysis of administrative tribunals in different jurisdictions. Lin Feng Asia Pacific Law Review Volume 19, No. 2 Administrative Tribunals and Adjudication is a work of considerable scholarship, which throws new light on an important set of institutions that have not hitherto received the attention they deserve. Michael Adler Journal of Law and Society Volume 37, Number 3, 2010 Professor Cane's excellent book helps to redress the lack of academic attention paid to administrative tribunals...This is an outstanding account of Australian tribunal adjudication and its place in the regime of administrative decision-making and law. The detailed and sophisticated use of comparative law analysis helps to understand the choices that have been taken in Australia, what some of the alternatives were (and are), and also the constraints that will continue to shape administrative adjudication. Edward Santow Public Law Review 2010 Issue 21 Cane presents a precise, richly detailed account of administrative organizations, grounded in an impressive survey of the administrative law literature and Cane's own observations ... Such a detailed account is valuable because, as Cane notes, there is not much literature outside of Australia about what administrative tribunals do. Readers will come away impressed with the breadth of research that Cane has conducted on these tribunals and the care with which he details the differences among them. Robert J. Hume Law and Politics Book Review April 6, 2010 The book is clearly and elegantly structured into seven chapters each analysing a different aspect of tribunals. The strengths of this book are to be found principally in the subtle blend of different types of analysis - constitutional, historical and comparative - used to appreciate the role and significance of tribunals. Cane presents a very scholarly and well-informed synthesis of three dimensions of tribunals: their functions across four jurisdictions, their historical development, and their constitutional significance. This book is very much to be welcomed as an excellent addition to the literature. It provides a valuable and wide-ranging study of an important but long neglected set of institutions and it should encourage administrative law scholars to pay much more attention to the work of tribunals.

Book SynopsisIt is a matter of some difficulty for the English lawyer to predict the effect of a misapprehension upon the formation of a contract. The common law doctrine of mistake is a confused one, with contradictory theoretical underpinnings and seemingly irreconcilable cases. This book explains the common law doctrine through an examination of the historical development of the doctrine in English law. Beginning with an overview of contractual mistakes in Roman law, the book examines how theories of mistake were received at various points into English contract law from Roman and civil law sources. These transplants, made for pragmatic rather than principled reasons, combined in an uneasy manner with the pre-existing English contract law. The book also examines the substantive changes brought about in contractual mistake by the Judicature Act 1873 and the fusion of law and equity. Through its historical examination of mistake in contract law, the book provides not only insights into the nature of innovation and continuity within the common law but also the fate of legal transplants.Trade ReviewMacMillan has produced a stimulating and, at times refreshing account of mistake [which] will be of interest to any modern lawyers and law students curious to know what caused all the confusion in the first place. -- Warren Swain * The Edinburgh Law Review, Volume 15, Issue 2 *...a fascinating insight into the background of current difficulties for anyone interested in contract law. -- Duncan Sheehan * Restitution Law Review *...clearly of value for those interested in contract and commercial law, but it also provides much to think about for those who are interested in the history and development of the law in general, and the interactions between different legal systems specifically. -- Dr Sean Thomas * The Journal of Business Law, Issue 7 *The author has ... meticulously researched each of the principal judicial pronouncements that has assisted in the development and understanding of the doctrine of mistake...a useful historical analysis. -- Anthony Lo Surdo * Australian Banking and Finance Law Bulletin, Volume 26, Number 5 *...this is a legal history book. It will clearly be of interest to legal historians and to academics who want to know how the law developed to its current state. -- David Capper * Canadian Business Law Journal, Volume 49 *...there can be no denying that [MacMillan] has produced a very worthwhile and thorough book. It is impressively wide-ranging, carefully researched, and brings to light previously overlooked evidence about the development of mistake in the English law of contract. As a result of it, our understanding of this difficult doctrine has taken a big step forward. -- Paul Mitchell * The Journal of Legal History 32: 1 *Table of Contents1. Introduction 2.

Der vorliegende Band stellt aktuelle Konzepte vor, die in den letzten 10 Jahren Konjunktur hatten und haben. Die besprochenen Konzepte werden vor einem zumeist organisationssoziologischen, aber auch verwaltungswissenschaftlichen und psychologischen Hintergrund diskutiert. Damit werden auch die blinden Flecken, d.h. die verkürzten theoretischen Grundannahmen sowie die teilweise ideologische Vollmundigkeit der Konzeptangebote auf- und abgeklärt. In einem zweiten Abschnitt wird – gewissermaßen als Gegenmittel zu den verkürzenden Managementmoden – theoretisches Rüstzeug unterbreitet, das für die Praxis eine robustere Orientierung bieten kann.

Book SynopsisDieser Sammelband zeigt, wie Bürgerorientierung und proaktive Polizeiarbeit im Organisationsalltag der Dienststellen wirksam und vor allem auf Dauer sichergestellt werden können. Beides gehört heute zum Selbstverständnis der Polizei, dennoch spielt Prävention im Alltag polizeilicher Dienststellen oft genug eine Nebenrolle. Zuspitzend könnte man sagen: Die Rede von der Bürgerorientierung dient mitunter zur Dekoration der Außen- und Schauseite der Organisation und die operative Beschäftigung mit der konkreten Präventionsarbeit, dem Dialog mit Bürgern und Sicherheitspartnern wird an die stellenmäßig gering ausgestatteten Kontaktbereichsbeamten delegiert. Die Autoren machen in ihren Beiträgen deutlich, wie entscheidend Führung für den Erfolg bürgerorientierter Polizeiarbeit ist. Führung und Management auf der Leitungsebene von Polizeiinspektionen, Revieren, Kommissariaten – also den Basisorganisationseinheiten der Polizei in der Fläche - sind die Bedingungen der Möglichkeit einer bürgerorientierten, präventiven und proaktiven Polizeiarbeit. Die Führungskräfte des Höheren Dienstes müssen die treibende Kraft für die strategische Ausrichtung und Entwicklung der Dienststelle sein, die erst die Bürgerorientierung als klugen Mix des gesamten polizeilichen Interventionsrepertoires gewährleistet.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Mehr Community Policing in Deutschland?!

Book SynopsisThis book undertakes unique case studies, including interviews with participants, as well as empirical analysis, of public and private enforcement of Australian securities laws addressing continuous disclosure. Enforcement of laws is crucial to effective regulation. Historically, enforcement was the province of a government regulator with significant discretion (public enforcement). However, more and more citizens are being expected to take action themselves (private enforcement). Consistent with regulatory pluralism, public and private enforcement exist in parallel, with the capacity to both help and hinder each other, and the achievement of the goals of enforcement in a range of areas of regulation. The rise of the shareholder class action in Australia, backed by litigation funding or lawyers, has given rise to enforcement overlapping with that of the government regulator, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The ramifications of overlapping enforcement are explained based on detailed analysis. The analysis is further bolstered by the regulator’s approach to enforcement changing from a compliance orientation to a “Why not litigate?” approach. The analysis and ramifications of the Australian case studies involve matters of regulatory theory and practice that apply across jurisdictions. The book will appeal to practitioners, regulators and academics interested in regulatory policy and enforcement, and the operation of regulators and class actions, including their interaction.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis textbook provides an explanatory and contextual view of EU law and its impact in a simple and easily accessible yet analytical manner. It illustrates the power struggles behind a given EU law act, to allow for full understanding of how it developed. This allows the student to understand EU law as a force in the increasingly globalized world, rather than as technical and doctrinal subject. The textbook begins by setting the scene of EU integration, how we got there and why it is important. Thereafter it explores the constitutional framework for understanding EU law in context and by discussing inter alia, division of competences, accountability, legitimacy, enforcement, human rights, participation rights and so on as well as the general principles of the EU and citizenship rights. Subsequently the textbook explores the essentials of the internal market as well as the principles of competition law. It also discusses free movement rights and links to the growing “Area of Freedom, Security and Justice”. Finally the textbook offers fresh insights on the external dimension of EU law and the role of the EU in the world today before concluding with an outlook on the future of EU law including the consequences of events such as Brexit.Trade ReviewThis book provides a very promising contextual understanding of the societal and political influences which have shaped EU law as it is now … the book deserves to be applauded for the very effective contextual approach taken, which is novel to the area of EU law. -- Annegret Engel, Lund University * Nordic Journal of European Law *This is a very well put together book by some leading authors in the field … the book will be a vital, and up-to-date resource, for the students in the completion of their assessments. -- Professor Paul James Cardwell * City, University of London *The book is good and covers the law … by explaining the purpose of the law first rather than just the law in isolation. -- Matthew Cole * University of Exeter *Table of Contents1.
