JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Gesammelte Schriften: Band II/3: Freiheit, Staat
Book SynopsisIn diesem Band der Gesammelten Schriften werden 15 Beiträge sowie Notizen aus dem Nachlass Walter Euckens ediert, kommentiert und in einer ausführlichen Einleitung systematisch und historisch eingeordnet, die Walter Eucken zwischen 1921 und 1950 verfasst hat. Das Thema, das diese Beiträge verbindet, ist die Wahrnehmung der Gegenwart als Krisenzeit und die Frage danach, worin die Ursachen der Krise zu sehen sind und auf welchem Wege ihre Lösung gefunden werden kann. In allen Texten setzt sich Eucken mit alternativen Krisendeutungen und Lösungsvorschlägen auseinander. Besonders gründlich analysiert und kritisiert er die Deutungen und Vorschläge sozialistischer Denker und der Vertreter der Idee des "totalen Staates". Anhand der Texte wird Euckens Weg zum ordoliberalen Forschungsprogramm deutlich. Bis Anfang der 1930er Jahre ging es ihm allgemein um die geistige Krise der Neuzeit. Die späteren Texte zeigen, dass er die geistige Lage zwar im Auge behielt, sich in der Forschung aber auf die staatlich-gesellschaftlichen Strukturwandlungen konzentrierte, die er für die Krise des Kapitalismus verantwortlich machte, sowie auf die strukturellen Reformen, die er für eine Lösung dieser Krise für erforderlich hielt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Trennbankenstrukturreformen nach der Finanzkrise
Book SynopsisIn Reaktion auf die globale Finanzkrise der Jahre 2007-2009 wurden in einer Reihe von Rechtsordnungen Bankenstrukturreformen eingeleitet und zum Teil umgesetzt. Diese gesetzgeberischen Bestrebungen zählen zu den wohl umstrittensten und im Hinblick auf die Intensität des Eingriffs in etablierte betriebswirtschaftliche Geschäftsmodelle und die Organisationsverfassung von Banken und Bankengruppen ambitioniertesten Reformvorhaben. In unterschiedlicher Weise und Intensität wird eine systemische Trennung zwischen besonders schutzbedürftigen "systemrelevanten" Geschäftsaktivitäten und solchen, die im Insolvenzfall ohne Ansteckungsrisiken für die Systemstabilität abgewickelt werden sollen, erzwungen. Christiane Hellstern untersucht die Anwendungsprobleme, Reformansätze und die mit der Umsetzung einhergehenden Folgefragen für bestehende Bankenstrukturen, die durch pfadabhängige Organisationsmodelle, das jeweilige Marktumfeld sowie durch die jeweils anwendbaren Gesellschafts-, Aufsichts- und Insolvenzrechte unterschiedlich gewachsen sind.Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Promotionspreis der Reinhold-und-Maria-Teufel-Stiftung 2021 ausgezeichnet.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Nachweisschwierigkeiten im
Book SynopsisDie Durchsetzung privater Kartellschadensersatzansprüche scheitert in der Praxis häufig an Nachweisschwierigkeiten des Geschädigten. Der Gesetzgeber und die Rechtsprechung haben dies zum Anlass genommen, neue Mittel der Informationsbeschaffung sowie Beweiserleichterungen zu schaffen, um der kartelltypischen Informationsasymmetrie entgegenzuwirken. Je mehr jene Lösungsinstrumente jedoch den Nachweis im Lichte des effet utile erleichtern, desto mehr geraten sie in Konflikt mit Rechtsgrundsätzen des Zivil- und Verfahrensrechts. Während der neugeregelte parteiliche Informationsanspruch den Beibringungsgrundsatz in Frage stellt, geraten weitreichende Beweiserleichterungen beim Schadensnachweis in Konflikt mit dem schadensrechtlichen Kompensationsgrundsatz. Nora Klusmann bemüht sich um eine Lösung dieser rechtlichen und rechtspolitischen Konflikte im Schnittfeld von Kartellrecht, Zivilprozessrecht und deliktischem Schadensrecht.

Cornell University Press Public Law and Private Power
Book SynopsisIn Public Law and Private Power, John W. Cioffi argues that the highly politicized reform of corporate governance law has reshaped power relations within the public corporation in favor of financial interests, contributed to the profound crises of contemporary capitalism, and eroded its political foundations. Analyzing the origins of pro-shareholder and pro-financial market reforms in the United States and Germany during the past two decades, Cioffi unravels a double paradox: the expansion of law and the regulatory state at the core of the financially driven neoliberal economic model and the surprising role of Center Left parties in championing the interests of shareholders and the financial sector. Since the early 1990s, changes in law to alter the structure of the corporation and financial marketstwo institutional pillars of modern capitalismhighlight the contentious regulatory politics that reshaped the legal architecture of national corporate governance regimes andTrade ReviewFor a number of years, comparative corporate governance research has attempted to explain how politics influence the nature and evolution of corporate governance (CG) regimes. John W. Cioffi's latest book makes an important and topical contribution to this debate.... It will be of interest to scholars of CG, comparative lawyers and anyone interested in modern capitalism. Cioffi draws our attention to the importance of 'regulatory politics' in an era where legal density tends to increase. This is a timely corrective to the shifting focus in comparative political economy towards bottom-up (rule-taker driven) and incremental forms of institutional change. * British Journal of Industrial Relations *While other scholars recognized the inter-linkages among what were often seen previously as separate domains, Cioffi's nexus of law approach provides a new and promising alternative way to analyze systematically these inter-linkages.... Indeed, I think Cioffi's book should stand alongside it [Political Power and Corporate Control by Peter Gourevitch and James Shinn] as one of the most important monographs by political scientists on corporate governance. Aside from its theoretical contributions, the book contributes extensive and rich new empirical material to the literature, and the work on the Sarbanes-Oxley reform may be some of the best and most thorough on the topic anywhere,. * Industrial and Labor Relations Review *Table of Contents1.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Frequently Asked Questions in AntiBribery and
Book SynopsisA practical guide to addressing the challenges managers face in implementing and enforcing new anti-bribery regulations The Bribery Act became the law of the land in July 2011. It abolished all existing U.K. anti-bribery laws and replaced them with a suite of new regulations decidedly different and more strenuous than what has come before. Under it companies found noncompliant will be open to billions in penalties and remediation costs, and managers will be open to prosecution if anyone associated with their company commits an offence covered by the act. As employees in nearly all departments will share responsibility for ensuring that adequate procedures are in place and enforced, there is a screaming need for practical, jargon-free guidance on the subject. This book fills that need. It arms managers and advisors with the knowledge and tools they need to implement, communicate and test controls and procedures that not only comply with but exceed the new anti-bribery requireTrade Review'This is a great book if you re in business we d go so far to say that this is the only book you ll need to read.

University of Toronto Press Cases and Materials on Creditors Rights
Book SynopsisThis book is a detailed study of the debtor-creditor relationship, with particular attention to the position of the unsecured creditor. It deals with this relationship from the viewpoint of the remedies available to the creditor, the more positive aspect of the relationship: apart from the statutory device of bankruptcy, debtors’ rights are almost entirely negative in character . In general it is only the creditors who have rights; debtors have the corresponding responsibilities. In these times of "credit-existence" this account is an important source of information for those in the field of law, economy, politics, and business.

Book SynopsisDeveloped over a period of some six years by teachers of the subject at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Law, this book provides the first comprehensive and integrated teaching tool for the very basic field of debtor and creditor relations.

It proceeds to examine self-help collection, execution, garnishment, reviewable transactions, and bankruptcy. Other sections consider the rights of various special creditors (including government creditors and mechanics’ lien claimants), and proposals for comprehensive reform of the debt collection process. The authors attempt to deal with law from a national perspective. While considering in detail the statutory provisions relevant to debtor-creditor relations in Ontario, they also treat significant legislation of other provinces and examine the suitability of differing respo

Stanford University Press Becoming a Public Benefit Corporation: Express
Book SynopsisThere are now over 10,000 benefit corporations and public benefit corporations in the United States, including at least fifteen public companies. This is the authoritative guide for leaders, advisors, and board members. Entrepreneurs and leaders often have an inspiring vision for how their business can not only make money for shareholders, but also benefit society. In recent years a new legal structure has emerged, the "Benefit Corporation" or "Public Benefit Corporation," which helps organizations make this ethical vision a legally authorized and protected reality. Companies like Patagonia, Kickstarter, Warby Parker, Danone North America, Allbirds, and King Arthur Baking have become benefit corporations to help advance both their business and their broader mission. Rather than narrowly maximizing profits, they consider their businesses' impacts on employees, customers, suppliers, the environment and others. The goal of benefit corporations like these is to foster a new, more humane, and sustainable capitalism by pursuing both profits and mission. Benefit corporation status helps protect the company mission even when leadership changes—and in the face of pressure from investors, shareholders, bankers and lenders. Becoming a Public Benefit Corporation explains this exciting new type of corporation, when it makes sense, and how becoming a benefit corporation can help leaders and organizations balance the tradeoffs between profits and mission. Law professor and corporate governance expert Michael B. Dorff also covers the weaknesses of benefit corporations, arguing that the enforcement mechanisms around benefit corporations are currently too weak to prevent "purpose washing." With examples from top companies, the book shows mission-driven leaders, board members, and advisors how to use the benefit corporation structure to make the world a better place.Trade Review"Michael Dorff's fascinating new book is essential reading for anyone interested in learning about this newer type of corporate entity that was created to help organizations balance purpose with profit."—Michael J. Downer, Senior Lawyer and Executive (ret.) Capital Group American Funds"Essential reading for anyone interested in learning about this newer type of corporate entity that is expressly permitted to balance purpose with profit."—Michael J. Downer, former Senior Lawyer and Executive, Capital Group"Why do corporations exist? Becoming a Public Benefit Corporation mines the tensions that underpin democracy and capitalism—through the story of the public benefit corporation, a (decades-old) innovation in corporate governance designed to support business entrepreneurs keen to balance purpose vs. profits. The book is timely, both for those who aspire to create great companies equipped to perform across multiple dimensions of value creation, and for those who hope to hold business to account."—Judy Samuelson, Founder and Executive Director, Aspen Institute Business and Society Program"Becoming a Public Benefit Corporation does an excellent job explaining the rise of new corporate forms—the public benefit corporation and the benefit corporation—in the context of both the rise of shareholder primacy and society's need to have corporations better meet the needs of stakeholders in addition to shareholders."—Susan Mac Cormac, Partner, Morrison Foerster"Becoming a Public Benefit Corporation is the definitive guide for entrepreneurs and investors who care about imbuing their companies with social purpose or who want to understand this ground-breaking change in modern business."—Steven Solomon, Alexander F. and May T.
