Taylor & Francis Ltd Arbitration Clauses and Third Parties
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to focus on the legal question of the incorporation of arbitration clauses, even though this issue constitutes a common problem that arises frequently in practice. Arbitration Clauses and Third Parties compares different branches of law, namely shipping, reinsurance, and construction, where the legal notion of incorporation is often implemented. It evaluates how the differences and peculiarities of the said branches of law impact the outcome of the incorporation of arbitration clauses and therefore why a âone size fits allâ approach should be avoided. The book provides both an in-depth legal analysis of the incorporation of arbitration clauses as well as the legal position of the third parties regarding arbitration agreements and a detailed evaluation of the relevant case law. It further offers a unique comparative analysis of English law and Singapore law with regards to the incorporation of arbitration clauses and features recent case law on Table of ContentsTable of Cases, Preface, Part I Muddying the Water: Incorporation of Arbitration Clauses in Shipping, Reinsurance, and Construction Chain Contracts, Chapter 1 The Foundations of Incorporation and Arbitration Clauses, Chapter 2 Incorporation of Charterparty Arbitration Clauses into Bills of Lading, Chapter 3 Incorporation of Arbitration Clauses into Reinsurance Contracts, Chapter 4 Construction Contracts and the Incorporation of Arbitration Clauses, Chapter 5 Singapore Law and Incorporation of Arbitration Clauses, PART II Not Incorporation – but a Close Analogy: Arbitration Clauses Binding Third Parties, Chapter 6 Arbitration Agreements and Third Parties, Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contract Law in Changing Times
Book SynopsisThis collection of essays provides a rich and contemporary discussion of the principle of pacta sunt servanda. This principle, which requires that valid agreements are to be honoured, is a cornerstone of contract law. Focusing on contributions from Asia, this book shows that, despite its natural and universal appeal, the pacta sunt servanda principle is neither absolute nor immutable. Exceptions to the binding force of contract must be available in limited circumstances to avoid hardship and unfairness. This book offers readers new comparative perspectives on the appropriate balance between contractual certainty and flexibility in an era of social instability. Expert authors, mostly from East and Southeast Asia, explore when their domestic legal systems allow exceptions from the binding force of contracts. Doctrines discussed include impossibility, frustration, change of circumstance, force majeure, illegality as well as rights of withdrawal. Other chapters Table of ContentsPart A.

Taylor & Francis Ltd An Economic Sociology of Law Reimagined
Book SynopsisThis book critically examines the concept of embeddedness: the core concept of an economic sociology of law (ESL).It suggests that our ways of doing, talking, and thinking about law, economy, and society, reproduce and re-entrench mainstream approaches, shaping our thoughts and actions such that we perform according to the model. Taking a deep dive into one example the concept of embeddedness this book combines insights from law, sociology, economics, and psychology to show that while we use metaphor to talk about law and economy, our metaphors in turn use us, moulding us into their fictionalized caricatures of homo juridicus and homo economicus. The result is a groundbreaking study into the prioritization throughout society of interests and voices that align with doctrinal understandings of law and neoclassical understandings of economics: approaches that led us into the dilemmas currently facing society. Zooming out from a detailed exploration of embeddednesTable of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements and return journeys Visualizing socio-legal frames, concepts, and methods 1 Doing, talking, and thinking (and why we’re not getting it right) Crashes, crises, catastrophes Doing, talking, and thinking The law and the economy don’t really exist PS: Nor does society How metaphors use us Constructing reality Introducing homo juridicus and homo economicus An ongoing conceptual commitment to embeddedness Introducing an economic sociology of law (ESL): the home of embeddedness The career of embeddedness in ESL and two conceptual conundrums Embeddedness in academic literature: drawing parallels and drawing conclusions Introducing our “guide” personas: Ann, Polly, and Lillian Bibliography 2 Introducing an economic sociology of law What is an economic sociology of law (ESL)?

Bibliography 5 Embeddedness: The external conceptual incompatibilities How we tend to think (our default conceptual tools) How we might think differently (challenging default conceptual tools) Thinking about embeddedness as a black box Proposing an alternative ESL lens: beyond embeddedness Shift 1: from the actor to their interaction Trust is important in understanding interactions Shift 2: embeddedness to feedback loops Understanding feedback loops through performativity Exploring the performativity of law and economics with a thought experiment Beyond homo economicus-juridicus? Bibliography 6 Beyond embeddedness: The next steps What remains of ESL without its core concept of embeddedness? Lingering questions about an ESL lens What, where, or who is “the social”? But “how much?”: the “sociological fallacy” Removing the core concept: what is left? What’s in a name? Linguistic limitations Clean models or dirty hands? ESL, politics, and power: can an ESL lens ever be apolitical? Responding to crashes, crises, catastrophes Our conceptual commitment to embeddedness continues Shoehorning concepts into categories: Happy the Elephant, Chucho the Bear, and their friendsShoehorning concepts into categories: COVID versus the economy? Rebalancing voices and values: becoming ‘homo sociologicus’? “Happy” Bhutan “Sustainable” Oslo Framing the future? Rebalancing voices and values Moving beyond embeddedness?

Taylor & Francis Corporate Governance and Statutory Derivative Actions
Book SynopsisThis book is the first comprehensive study of the statutory derivative action in Australia, using the Australian model as a reference point and comparing it with the United Kingdom, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong and USA counterparts. The book includes an empirical study covering over a 20-year period from the date the statutory framework came into operation, coupled with extensive case law analysis and comparisons with other jurisdictions. It informs the world about the uniqueness of Australiaâs statutory derivative action, and what other countries can learn from it as shareholder protection and promotion of good corporate governance. While some countries have statutory derivative action, there are still countries that do not have the statutory framework that are considering introducing it into their corporate law. This book is also useful for countries that already have their local variants of the statutory derivative action that are considering revising their existing Table of Contents1. Introduction 2. The Need for Statutory Derivative Action and Its Current Problems 3. An Empirical Study of The Statutory Derivative Action in Australia 4.

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Handbook of Corporate Law Corporate
Book SynopsisThis Handbook will be an essential reference for scholars, students, practitioners, policymakers, and general readers interested in how corporate law and governance have exacerbated our most pressing environmental, social and economic challenges, and how reforms to these fields can help us resolve those challenges and achieve sustainability.Trade Review'Bringing together an impressive group of global scholars, this book weaves together insights and analysis of almost every manageable corporate sustainability issue resulting in a thorough and essential guide to corporations' ability to address sustainability challenges. A tour-de-force, this book is essential reading for scholars and corporations alike.' Barnali Choudhury, University College London'Sustainability - of corporations themselves, and of the wider society and environment to which they are inescapably linked - is reshaping managerial discourse and the practice of finance itself. New paradigms and methods are emerging in the academic disciplines associated with the study of the corporation. This Handbook, with 50 chapters by leading scholars from around the world, marks a seminal contribution to this reshaping of the field.' Simon Deakin, University of Cambridge'The Handbook investigates an under-explored but critical area: the relation of corporate law and corporate governance to sustainability. With a discussion of case studies from across the world and potential drivers for change, this Handbook will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in exploring how corporations could contribute to a sustainable future.' Surya Deva, City University of Hong Kong'This Handbook is an essential reference for anyone working on one of today's most pressing challenges, which is the transition to a climate-neutral and sustainable economy. It is high on Europe's political agenda. Yet nobody should underestimate the implications and scale of such a transformation. It is cross-cutting by nature and requires a transdisciplinary policy approach.' Valdis Dombrovskis, The European Commission's Vice-President for the Euro and Social Dialogue, also in charge of Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union'It is increasingly clear that business must play a central part - even a leadership role - in addressing our global sustainability crisis. The challenges are profound, and Sjåfjell and Bruner have marshaled many of the world's greatest experts to help identify ways to move ahead. Having this book on your desk is like having those experts on call.' Kent Greenfield, Dean's Distinguished Scholar, Boston College, Massachusetts'Global business may shape the world more than government, yet government may still have instruments to give guidance. This handbook brings all three together, condensed into the three-partite title and structure - scope (sustainability), governance of firms and political guidance (actually well beyond 'corporate law' solely). This handbook gives us Hercules at labour - but rather at his seventh task than at his first.' Stefan Grundmann, European University Institute and Humboldt University, Berlin'Two leading international corporate law scholars, Beate Sjåfjell and Christopher M. Bruner, have done a great job in bringing together a group of scholars from all over the world to write on one of the most important issues in corporate law - namely, corporate governance and sustainability. The book is to be commended for including in one place such a comprehensive range of subjects.' Andrew Keay, University of Leeds'This is an important and comprehensive volume on a topic that is of immense importance for academics, policymakers and practitioners. The editors have brought together the leading researchers in the field to produce a volume that provides profound insights into the intersection of corporate governance, law and sustainability. It deserves to be widely read and referenced.' Colin Mayer, Peter Moores Professor of Management Studies, University of Oxford'This magisterial volume brings together a comprehensive collection of chapters treating law, legal theory, and law reform possibilities. Especially valuable is the impressive array of country-specific case studies from around the world. Essential reading for anyone interested in the crucially important question of the impact of business activity and corporate law on sustainability.' David Millon, J.B. Stombock Professor of Law, Emeritus, Washington and Lee University'This book is a monumental work of scholarship. In terms of substantive scope, geographic reach and diversity of insight it is quite simply staggering. Its analysis of the contemporary financial, environmental and social challenges facing global business corporations is unsurpassed in originality and rigour. This timely collection will be an essential cornerstone of every corporate governance scholar's book collection for many years to come.' Marc T. Moore, University College London'Humanity is at a new juncture. Deep into the Anthropocene we are now forced to consider the risk of destabilising the entire planet. What we need, and what this Handbook addresses in a comprehensive, convincing and state-of-the-art fashion, is to operationalise 'strong sustainability' in corporate law and governance. This book is a key contribution towards this transformation.' Johan Rockström, Director Potsdam Institute Climate Impact Research, University of Potsdam'At their best, corporations have been invaluable tools for solving big societal challenges - from building early America's roads, bridges and railways, to curing disease, to bringing electricity to the masses. This impressive collection of scholarship explores what it will take to focus corporations on solving today's grandest challenges: environmental, social and economic sustainability.' Judith Samuelson, Executive Director, The Aspen Institute Business and Society Program'An increasing number of political and business leaders are realizing the urgency of a fair transition to a sustainable economy and the depth of the challenges this poses to our ways to do and regulate business. When looking for effective answers, they will be well served by this most timely Handbook.' Frans Timmermans, First Vice President of the European Commission'This book, with its comprehensive coverage and impressive list of preeminent contributors is a must-read for scholars, practitioners and policy makers concerned with the impact of the corporation on society. It provides in-depth analysis of the role that corporate law and corporate governance plays in the sustainability crisis, and persuasively argues that they must therefore figure centrally in any resolution.' Michelle Welsh, Monash University'Sjåfjell and Bruner's book is a brilliant contribution to the most pressing questions of corporate law and governance today. It challenges the 'trade off mentality' that construes ecological and social issues as of corporate concern only if they pose financial risks to the firm. This book provides an extremely important basis for re-conceptualizing how we think about corporate obligations.' Cynthia A.
