Cambridge University Press Regulating Global Corporate Capitalism International Corporate Law and Financial Market Regulation
Book SynopsisThis analysis of how multi-level networked governance has superseded the liberal system of interdependent states focuses on the role of law in mediating power and shows how lawyers have shaped the main features of capitalism, especially the transnational corporation. It covers the main institutions regulating the world economy, including the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO and a myriad of other bodies, and introduces the reader to key regulatory arenas: corporate governance, competition policy, investment protection, anti-corruption rules, corporate codes and corporate liability, international taxation, avoidance and evasion and the campaign to combat them, the offshore finance system, international financial regulation and its contribution to the financial crisis, trade rules and their interaction with standards especially for food safety and environmental protection, the regulation of key services (telecommunications and finance), intellectual property and the tensions between exclusiveTrade Review'This book provides insight into global corporate capitalism's development and its contemporary governance … the argument is carefully constructed through detailed accounts of salient developments in the history of the global economy over a substantial period of time. That such an enormous area of investigation is covered in a meticulous manner without any loss of focus by the author (or indeed this non-specialist reader) is testament to both the depth of knowledge that is conveyed and the manner in which it is expressed … the book succeeds within its own terms: in providing a historical contextualization of the central features and institutions of the regulation of contemporary corporate capitalism; in highlighting the role of lawyers in shaping its development and contemporary governance; and in raising concerns regarding its implications for legitimacy and accountability, aims which are accomplished expertly.'

Cambridge University Press Misuse of Market Power
Book SynopsisMisuse of Market Power: Rationale and Reform is a highly relevant specialty text for scholars in competition law and economics, as well as competition law professionals who require it for their work in shaping policy or advising clients on antitrust law and economics, including government departments, practising lawyers and economists.Trade Review'Katharine Kemp's Misuse of Market Power is a powerful description and analysis of tests to identify unilateral conduct that harms the market and should be proscribed. Coming on the heels of Australia's 'effects' amendment to its unilateral conduct law, Kemp's book promises to be an important tool in interpreting the new law wisely and pragmatically. Her thoughtful synthesis of how to minimize error costs and provide certainty, administrability and legitimacy may be a beacon for interpreting dominance and monopoly laws around the world.' Eleanor M. Fox, Walter J. Derenberg Professor of Trade Regulation, New York University School of Law'Katharine's interventions in the debate leading up to the recent reforms to section 46 of Australia's Competition and Consumer Act were scholarly, insightful and influential. Her contributions also helped to moderate the tone of public commentary that occasionally became quite confused. In this book she has now brought her reasoned and careful approach to an excellent exposition of the issues in this most complex area of competition policy and law. Her fascinating description of the development of abuse of dominance and monopolization laws in England, Germany, Australia, Europe and the United States gives valuable historical context to her careful analysis of the arguments that have surrounded the framing and application of the laws that seek to keep the power of oligarchs and monopolists in check. Katharine's book will be a valuable resource for my ACCC colleagues, students, academics, legal practitioners, and I suspect, the Courts. It will be a key tool as we all seek to apply Australia's misuse of market power law in years to come. It is also an impressive addition to the international debate about the scope of laws and policies addressing anticompetitive action by dominant businesses.' Rod Sims, Chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer CommissionTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Unilateral conduct laws: origins, objectives and theory; 3. The history and objectives of unilateral conduct legislation in Australia; 4. A comparative analysis of profit-focused tests for unilateral anticompetitive conduct; 5.

Cambridge University Press The Prudential CarveOut for Financial Services
Book SynopsisThe World Trade Organization''s General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) sets out a framework and rules for the liberalization of international trade in services. Paragraph 2(a) of the GATS Annex on Financial Services is generally known as the Prudential Carve-Out (PCO). Notwithstanding GATS obligations, it allows WTO Members to pursue prudential regulatory objectives. This book studies the GATS PCO in light of its negotiating history and economic rationale as well as PCOs in all preferential trade agreements notified to the WTO Secretariat up to the summer of 2017. The author clarifies the state of play of international cooperation on financial services regulation; provides a current understanding of the GATS PCO; analyses how PCOs are drafted in preferential trade agreements and, finally, he seeks to understand whether alternative approaches to the mainstream understanding of the PCO are possible and suggests options for reform.Table of Contents1. The subject matter of the study; 2. International cooperation on financial services and prudential measures: WTO and beyond; 3. The current understanding of the GATS PCO; 4. Prudential Carve-Outs in Preferential Trade Agreements; 5. A possible alternative approach; 6. Suggestions for reform.

Cambridge University Press Creating Corporate Sustainability
Book SynopsisThis compelling volume considers three significant modern developments: the ever-changing role of women in society; a significant and growing dissatisfaction with current dominant understandings of corporate governance, corporate law and corporate theory; and the increasing concern to establish sustainable business models globally. A range of female scholars from across the globe and from different disciplines interconnect these ideas in this unique collection of new and thought-provoking essays. Readers are led through a carefully planned enquiry focussing initially on female activism and the corporation, secondly on liberal attempts to include women in business leadership and, finally, on critiquing the modern focus on women as a ''fix'' for ethical and unsustainable business practises which currently dominates the corporate world. This collection presents a fresh perspective on what changes are needed to create the sustainable corporation and the potential role of women as influencers or as agents for these changes.Trade Review'Most importantly, we need to understand the forces that keep business on the unsustainable track it is on now. This volume offers important insights into these issues, to the (mainly insufficient) initiatives to realize the potential of women as agents for creating corporate sustainability, and crucial reflections on possible ways forward. As such, the volume is an invaluable contribution to the discussion we must have now: how to achieve the fundamental transition to a sustainable, circular, and just economy. We cannot afford not to have girls and women as partners in sustainable development, resource efficiency and circular economy - in painting the way for the future of our planet.' Sirpa Pietikäinen, Director of GLOBE EU, Member of the European Parliament'Exceptionally well organized and presented, Creating Corporate Sustainability: Gender as an Agent for Change presents fresh perspectives and invaluable insights on what changes are needed to create the sustainable corporation and the potential role of women as agents for these changes.'

Cambridge University Press ASEAN Consumer Law Harmonisation and Cooperation
Book SynopsisThis is the first Western-language research monograph detailing significant developments in consumer law and policy across the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), underpinned by a growing middle class and implementation of the ASEAN Economic Community from 2016. Eight chapters examine consumer law topics within ASEAN member states (such as product safety and consumer contracts) and across them (financial and health services), as well as the interface with competition law and the nature of ASEAN as a unique and evolving international organisation. The authors include insights from extensive fieldwork, partly through consultancies for the ASEAN Secretariat, to provide a reliable, contextual and up-to-date analysis of consumer law and policy development across the region. The volume also draws on and contributes to theories of law and development in multiple fields, including comparative law, political economy and regional studies.Trade Review'Four leading Australian consumer law scholars have produced a book that provides valuable insights into the development of consumer law in the ASEAN region. They throw light on consumer law in under-researched jurisdictions and their reflections will help develop consumer policy in the region and deepen our understanding of consumer policy globally. Hopefully it will provide an impetus for further ASEAN initiatives.'
