Between sluggish growth; political turmoil following a decade of austerity politics; Brexit; and the rise of Asian influence, the EU is seen as a declining power on the world stage.Columbia Law professor Anu Bradford argues the opposite in her important new book The Brussels Effect: the EU remains an influential superpower that shapes the world in its image. By promulgating regulations that shape the international business environment, elevating standards worldwide, and leading to a notable Europeanization of many important aspects of global commerce, the EU has managed to shape policy in areas such as data privacy, consumer health and safety, environmental protection, antitrust, and online hate speech. And in contrast to how superpowers wield their global influence, the Brussels Effect - a phrase first coined by Bradford in 2012- absolves the EU from playing a direct role in imposing standards, as market forces alone are often sufficient as multinational companies voluntarily extend the EU rule to govern their global operations. The Brussels Effect shows how the EU has acquired such power, why multinational companies use EU standards as global standards, and why the EU''s role as the world''s regulator is likely to outlive its gradual economic decline, extending the EU''s influence long into the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present work is written in a very accessible way, despite the abstract and very technical seeming subject areas. * Bastian Matteo Scianna, Sehepunkte *\u003cbr\u003eBradford makes her case with verve, and with a great eye for detail. * Jan Klabbers, European Journal of International Law *\u003cbr\u003eListed as one of the Best Books of 2020 by Foreign Affairs\u003cbr\u003eThe author of this book, a scholar of extraordinary authority, overturns existing stereotypes and demonstrates how the European Union has become the only authority capable of dictating the rules that guide the behavior of world economic life. In the crisis of international cooperation, Brussels builds the rules that are progressively adopted by global markets. A Europe that exercises its authority not with muscles but with a refined blend of brains and experience. * Romano Prodi, formerly President of the European Commission and Prime Minister of Italy *\u003cbr\u003eThis may well be the single most important book on Europe's influence to appear in a decade. * Andrew Moravcsik, Foreign Affairs *\u003cbr\u003eAnu Bradford, a professor at Columbia University, originally coined the term \"Brussels effect\" and has been studying it for several years. Her impressive book assembles evidence going back decades, tracing its development from the \"Reach\" chemicals regulation, developed in the early 2000s, to the digital age. ... What is incontrovertible is that the Brussels effect has dominated global economic regulation to an under-appreciated extent. This book will be the definitive reference guide for those wishing to understand. * Alan Beattie, Financial Times *\u003cbr\u003eDeveloping her earlier work and, in turn, Vogel's ground-breaking study of the \"California Effect\", Bradford argues brilliantly—without ignoring the external and internal challenges faced by the EU—the extent to which the \"Brussels Effect\" (i.e. the EU's unilateral power to regulate global markets) has operated in many foreign jurisdictions, including the US and China ... Bradford's tour de force is to combine a dense number of facts and information with a vivid analysis. * Julien Miéral, European Law Review *\u003cbr\u003eAnu Bradford's The Brussels Effect is essential reading for anyone interested in Europe's place in the world. Decried as a powerless entity, vainly committed to multilateralism, Bradford shows how the EU has,in fact, turned unilateral regulatory measures into a source of global economic clout. A timely and powerful antidote to prevailing euro-pessimism. * Adam Tooze, author of Crashed and Director of the European Institute, Columbia University *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is both timely and important. I have frequently witnessed the Brussels Effect in many areas, including data privacy, trade, the digital economy and consumer and food safety, where the EU increasingly sets global standards. Professor Bradford describes in a detailed and engaging style why the EU is a global regulatory superpower that shapes the world in its own image. This book is of great relevance, not just for an academic audience but also for businesses and policy makers around the world. This book clearly explains the nature of the EU's often under-appreciated 'quiet influence. * Anthony Gardner, former US Ambassador to the European Union *\u003cbr\u003eFinally! A book that carefully and systematically documents the European Union's power in the world and challenges us to rethink how we define power in the process.The Brussels Effectis a tour de force; a study that will establish a new benchmark for scholars and serve as a major stumbling block for prophets of European decline. * Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America *\u003cbr\u003eInThe Brussels Effect, Anu Bradford has developed her brilliant and insightful theory of the European Union's global power into a fascinating and thorough account of the ways in which EU rules are transformed into global standards through market mechanisms. This book, like her earlier work, will be widely read and highly influential in policy as well as scholarly debates. * Gráinne de Búrca, Florence Ellinwood Allen Professor of Law, New York University *\u003cbr\u003eThe Brussels Effectis an important book that challenges us to rethink the impact of the EU on the global economy. Bradford has made a creative and original contribution to the literature on business regulation. Her well-documented and clearly written study shows how and why the EU has become the world's most influential regulator, shaping both business practices and public policies well beyond its borders. * David Vogel, Solomon P. Lee Chair Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Business Ethics, University of California Berkley *\u003cbr\u003eInThe Brussels Effect, Anu Bradford offers a perceptive analysis of the influence the EU can and must have well beyond its borders. With global governance being challenged, the Brussels Effect is filling a desperately needed void.

It can threaten a system''s responsiveness to both minority rights claims and majoritarian constitutional understandings. Responsive Judicial Review aims to counter this dysfunction using examples from both the global north and global south, including leading constitutional courts in the US, UK, Canada, India, South Africa, and Colombia, as well as select aspects of the constitutional jurisprudence of courts in Australia, Fiji, Hong Kong, and Korea.In this book, Dixon argues that courts should adopt a sufficiently ''dialogic'' approach to countering relevant democratic blockages and look for ways to increase the actual and perceived legitimacy of their decisionsthrough careful choices about their framing, and the timing and selection of cases. By orienting judicial choices about constitutional construction toward promoting democratic responsiveness, or toward countering forms of democratic monopoly, blind spots, and burdens of inertia, judicial review helps safeguard a constitutional system''s responsiveness to democratic majority understandings. The idea of ''responsive'' judicial review encourages courts to engage with their own distinct institutional position, and potential limits on their own capacity and legitimacy. Dixon further explores the ways that this translates into the embracing of a ''weakened'' approach to judicial finality, compared to the traditional US-model of judicial supremacy, as well as a nuanced approach to the making of judicial implications, a ''calibrated'' approach to judicial scrutiny or judgments about proportionality, and an embrace of ''weak  strong'' rather than wholly weak or strong judicial remedies. Not all courts will be equally well-placed to engage in review of this kind, or successful at doing so. For responsive judicial review to succeed, it must be sensitive to context-specific limitations of this kind. Nevertheless, the idea of responsive judicial review is explicitly normative and aspirational: it aims to provide a blueprint for how courts should think about the practice of judicial review as they strive to promote and protect democratic constitutional values.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this masterful work, Rosalind Dixon returns judicial representation-reinforcement to center stage in our understanding of judicial review. Her theory of how judicial intervention can counteract democratic dysfunction is rooted in rich examples and a breadth and depth of comparative expertise that reflects her position as a leading scholar in the field. What makes this book of exceptional importance is its close attention to the opportunities and challenges in operationalizing responsive judicial review; Dixon speaks directly to judges in outlining how constitutional courts might function as democracy-protecting and democracy-promoting. In presenting a theory of judicial review alongside guidance for its implementation, Dixon reanimates our aspirations for courts as valued participants in achieving a society committed to democratic responsiveness. * Erin F. Delaney, Professor of Law, Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law *\u003cbr\u003eComprehensive in its sweep, systematic in its analysis, and yet distinctive in its focus, Rosalind Dixon's insightful book is a major contribution to the growing comparative literature on political process approaches to constitutional review. * Stephen Gardbaum, Stephen Yeazell Endowed Chair in Law, UCLA *\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Dixon has written a landmark book on the theory of judicial review. Using excellent examples drawn from around the world, she shows how courts should modulate their decision-making in response to legal, social, and political context.

It aims to understand how existing inequalities are exacerbated in crises and whether equality law has the tools to understand and address this contingency. Experience during the COVID-19 crisis shows that the pandemic has acted as a catalyst for ''exponential inequalities'' related to racism, xenophobia, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, and ableism. Yet, the field of equality law (which is meant to be addressing such discrimination or inequality) has had little immediate relevance in mitigating these exponential inequalities. This is despite the fact that countries like the UK have a rather recent and state-of-the-art legislation in the field, namely the Equality Act 2010. Exponential Inequalities offers readers an understanding of how these inequalities came to be and how crises such as the global pandemic, the climate emergency, or the economic downturn, can exacerbate an already untenable situation. It illuminates both the structural and the conceptual, as well as the practical and doctrinal difficulties currently experienced in equality law, and discusses whether or not equality law even has the tools to both understand and then address this contingency.

This historical moment that continues to unfold in the United States and elsewhere also creates an opening to spark and revitalize debate and policy changes on a range of crucial topics, including national security. By surfacing the depths to which White hegemonic power influences our institutions and cultural assumptions, we gain more accurate understanding of how race manifests in national security domestically, transnationally, and globally.In Race and National Security, leading experts challenge conventional interpretations of national security by illuminating the underpinning of White supremacy in our social consciousness. The volume centers the experience of those who have long been on the receiving end of racialized state violence. It finds that re-envisioning national security requires more than just reducing the size and scope of the security state.Contributors offer visions for reforming and transforming national security, including adopting an abolitionist framework. Race and National Security invites us to radically reimagine a world where the security state does not keep Black, Brown, and other marginalized peoples subordinated through threats of and actual incarceration, violence, torture, and death. Race and National Security is a groundbreaking volume which serves as a catalyst for remembering, exposing, and reconceiving the role of race in national security.The Just Security book series from OUP tackles contemporary problems in international law and security that are of interest to a global community of scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and students. With each volume taking a particular thematic focus and gathering leading experts, the series as a whole aims to rigorously and critically reflect on developments in these areas of law, policy, and practice. Each volume will be accompanied by a series of shorter digital pieces in Just Security''s online forum at www.justsecurity.org, which tie the discussion to breaking news and headlines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface List of Contributors Acknowledgments   I.

Reconstructing Rights draws on legislative debates, legal briefs, and hundreds of judicial opinions issued from high courts in India, South Africa, and the United States in the area of discrimination and affirmative action.

The relevant rules and case law of Germany, England and Wales, France and the Netherlands are analysed and compared. The similarities and differences between the legal systems are highlighted. The impact of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights is considered, as well as the influence of EU legislative initiatives and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, in the legal systems examined. Furthermore, the system of judicial review of administrative action before the European courts is studied and compared to that of the national legal systems.

From platform work to the gig-economy and the impact of artificial intelligence, algorithmic management, and digital surveillance on workplaces, technology has overwhelming consequences for everyone’s lives, reshaping the labour market and straining social institutions.

Can flexibility and protection be reconciled so that legal frameworks uphold innovation? How can we address the pervasive power of AI-enabled monitoring? How likely is it that the gig-economy model will emerge as a new organisational paradigm across sectors? And what can social partners and political players do to adopt effective regulation?

First of all, in light of the technologies’ transboundary nature, the book employs a comparative approach, considering French law, German law, English law, and Dutch law to analyse the impact on the different systems of contract law. While doing so, it also addresses the formation, interpretation, and vitiation of contracts. Secondly, it analyses the impact of these technologies on European laws regarding unfair terms in consumer contracts and argues that the existing rules should be applied to smart legal agreements in business-to-consumer relations.

Not only does it offer a more cost-effective and expeditious approach, but it also has the potential to facilitate economic recovery and sustain continued investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1.

As a global challenge calling for collective action, climate change has elicited substantial rulemaking at the international plane, percolating through the broader legal system to the regional, national and local levels. More than other areas of law, the normative and practical framework dedicated to climate change has embraced new instruments and softened traditional boundaries between formal and informal, public and private, substantive and procedural; so ubiquitous is the reach of relevant rules nowadays that scholars routinely devote attention to the intersection of climate change and more established fields of legal study, such as international trade law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eClimate Change and the Law\u003c\/i\u003e explores the rich diversity of international, regional, national, sub-national and transnational legal responses to climate change. Is climate law emerging as a new legal discipline? If so, what shared objectives and concepts define it? How does climate law relate to other areas of law? Such questions lie at the heart of this new book, whose thirty chapters cover doctrinal questions as well as a range of thematic and regional case studies. As Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), states in her preface, these chapters collectively provide a “review of the emergence of a new discipline, its core principles and legal techniques, and its relationship and potential interaction with other disciplines.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the reviews:\u003c\/p\u003e“This edited collection provides a unique contribution to the scholarship debate on climate change. … This volume is thus a solid collection of pieces which I would certainly recommend to anyone who wish to gain an improved understanding of the complex web of legal norms addressing climate change. … the book also represents an interesting reference tool for policy makers and practitioners involved in the ongoing discussions on climate change regulation and governance.” (Emanuela Orlando, Cambridge Law Journal, Vol. 72 (3), November, 2013)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents.- Contributors.- Abbreviations.- 1.

Professor Husa guides the reader effortlessly through these difficulties and advances his own important argument that comparative law will have to move away from its traditional nation state bound view of law. He pursues this argument in examining the more precise aspects of the global debate - neoliberalism, constitutionalism, human rights, lex mercatoria and judicial internationalisation - before posing this question. What kind of theoretical and methodological base is required when thinking about law in a global context? Traditional theory and methods are tested within the globalisation paradigm and the author concludes by stressing the importance of legal pluralism within a culturally diverse world. How should all of this impact on legal education and in turn on legal language? What Professor Husa provides is a very informative and clear analysis - introductory but equally profoundly wide-ranging in its research base - of these two issues. Legal globalisation?

The subject matter is explained with careful attention given to its history, foundations, thought-patterns, underlying principles and basic concepts.   The casebook focuses on uncovering differences and similarities between Europe's major legal systems: French, German, Dutch and English law are examined, while Austrian and Belgian law are also touched upon. The book combines excerpts from primary source materials (case law and legislation) and from doctrine and soft law. In doing so it presents a faithful picture of the systems concerned.  Separate chapters deal with the various types of property rights, their creation, transfer and destruction, with security rights (such as mortgages, pledges, retention of title) as well as with harmonising and unifying efforts at the EU and global level.   Through the functional approach taken by the Ius Commune Casebooks this volume clearly demonstrates that traditional comparative insights no longer hold. The law of property used to be regarded as a product of historical developments and political ideology, which were considered to be almost set in stone and assumed to render any substantial form of harmonisation or approximation very unlikely. Even experienced comparative lawyers considered the divide between common law and civil law to be so deep that no common ground - so it was thought - could be found. However economic integration, in particular integration of financial markets and freedom of establishment, has led to the integration of particular areas of property law such as mortgage law and enforceable security instruments (eg retention of title). This pressure towards integration has led comparative lawyers to refocus their interest from contract, tort and unjustified enrichment to property law and delve beneath its surface.  This book reveals that today property law systems are closer to one another than previously assumed, that common ground can be found and that differences can be analysed in a new light to enable comparison and further the development of property law in Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Introductory chapter  Chapter 1.

The ageing population poses a huge challenge to law and society and has important structural and institutional implications. This book portrays elder law as an emerging research area and brings together authors from different disciplines (history, sociology and law) and from different legal jurisdictions (Austria, Belgium, England, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain). Topics discussed inter alia include: the recognition of informal care in private law and in inheritance law, the question of whether special consumer protection is needed for the elderly, intergenerational support duty between children and their parents, and public law offering options to support informal care by means of leaves for employees. In doing so, this book reflects on the allocation of responsibilities between different actors and answers questions at an institutional level: what is the role of the state, the family and the individual in taking care of the elderly?

Far from being a highly technical debate between experts, however, the book is accessible to students and the general public, and raises important contemporary legal issues that involve them both as citizens, with justice as a shared aspiration, and a common attachment to the rule of law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This impressive collection of essays is an important reminder of the pressures to which the rule of law is subject.

It has, therefore, been prepared for publication by his widow, and sometimes co-author, women's historian Susanna Hoe. It comprises articles, lectures and chapters dating from his 2010 volume Disputes and Differences: Comparisons in Law, Language and History. But, whereas the chapters of that earlier, thematic work were quite disparate, this book, particularly in part 1, 'The Past', encompasses the history of arbitration and mediation from prehistory to the early nineteenth century.   What makes this volume particularly interesting is that it is possible, as chapter follows chapter, to deduce which of Derek Roebuck's multi-volume histories he was working on at the time, and what other works he was reading or hearing then. This is illustrated by the last essay in Part 1 - 'A Pinch of Reality: Private Dispute Resolution in 18th Century England (2019)'.  Part 2 - 'Past, Present and Future' (2013) - starts with 'The Future of Arbitration' (2013) which embodies just that, ending with 'Keeping an Eye on Fundamentals' (2012). Part 3 - 'Language, Research and Comparison', features works that bow to the author's particular interests and their connection to arbitration and its history. And he had a rule that, where possible, he would suggest what research still needed to be done, hence 'ADR in Business: Topics for Research' (2012). The final chapter - 'Return to that Other Country: Legal History and Comparative Law' (2019) - one of the last pieces written, says it all.","brand":"Holo Books The Arbitration Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888672616791,"sku":"9781919631837","price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781919631837.jpg?v=1722550566"},{"product_id":"advisory-boards-in-medium-sized-companies-an-international-comparison-9783110665512","title":"Advisory Boards in Medium-Sized Companies: An","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdvisory boards offer various advantages in corporate settings related to shareholder relief, consulting know-how, and marketing.

Die alliierte Kartellpolitik der USA wurde eng mit der Frage nach deutscher Souveränität und deutschem Wirtschaftssystem verknüpft. Gleichzeitig gibt es einen Zusammenhang zwischen deutscher und europäischer Kartellpolitik. Beide wurden als gemeinsames Konzept von übereinstimmenden Entscheidungsträgern geschaffen.
