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\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\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.

Projections suggest that megacities of 50 million or even 100 million inhabitants will emerge by the end of the century, mostly in the Global South. This shift marks a major and unprecedented transformation of the organization of society, both spatially and geopolitically. Our constitutional institutions and imagination, however, have failed to keep pace with this new reality. Cities have remained virtually absent from constitutional law and constitutional thought, not to mention from comparative constitutional studies more generally. As the world is urbanizing at an extraordinary rate, this book argues, new thinking about constitutionalism and urbanization is desperately needed. In six chapters, the book considers the reasons for the constitutional blind spot concerning the metropolis, probes the constitutional relationship between states and (mega)cities worldwide, examines patterns of constitutional change and stalemate in city status, and aims to carve a new place for the city in constitutional thought, constitutional law and constitutional practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003e...Hirschl deserves much praise in bringing to the fore a topic that should not have stayed in the shadows for so long. City, State: Constitutionalism and the Megacity raises tough questions and forces us to confront them head-on. This is a field-defining book—the results of which are already evident within the short period since this book's launch (and even before). * Amal Sethi, Publius: The Journal of Federalism *\u003cbr\u003eAfter a series of important books, Ran Hirschl has turned his attention to the constitutional status of cities. In City, State, he reveals a resounding constitutional 'silence' as to the status of cities in the old constitutional systems of Europe and North America and a contrasting level of focus and innovation in the Global South. Hirschl persuasively argues that the constitutional empowerment of cities holds promise for the great social problems of our day including representational fairness, socio-economic inequality and climate change. Delving deep into the fundamentals of the field, City, State challenges orthodox assumptions of constitutionalism and lays out new, rich veins of inquiry that will be influential for decades to come. * Adrienne Stone, Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor, Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne *\u003cbr\u003eTransformative scholarship from the master of scholarly transformations and seminal studies. Ran Hirschl details how the state and provincial borders that structure constitutional law fail to capture the urban-rural divide that structures much constitutional politics, a divide Hirschl demonstrates that in regime after regime disempowers and impoverishes the places where the vast majority of the world's population lives. * Mark A. Graber, Regents Professor, University of Maryland Carey School of Law *\u003cbr\u003eEven though global cities have grown dramatically in size and importance, most constitutions - and hence legals scholars - have paid almost no attention to them. Hirschl's impressive, timely, and wide-ranging book fills a large hole in the literature. It explains why the economic strength of cities has so often been accompanied by weakness in the constitutional order, and then explores conditions under which urban residents have been able to carve out some constitutional autonomy, especially in developing countries. This book will be of great interest to legal scholars, social scientists, and urbanists. * Jonathan Rodden, Professor of Political Science, Stanford University; Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution and Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003eIntroduction: An Urban Era    Chapter 1: The Sound of Constitutional Silence    Chapter 2: The Metropolis in \"Old World\" Constitutional Law    Chapter 3: Constitutional Innovation in Governing the Metropolis:  Law, Economic, Politics    Chapter 4: Attempts at City Self-Empowerment     Chapter 5: Rethinking City Constitutional Status    Acknowledgments, List of Cases Cited, Index","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732549316951,"sku":"9780190922771","price":41.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780190922771.jpg?v=1719997378"},{"product_id":"responsive-judicial-review-democracy-and-dysfunction-in-the-modern-age-oxford-comparative-constitutionalism-9780192865779","title":"Responsive Judicial Review Democracy and","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003eDemocratic dysfunction can arise in both ''at risk'' and well-functioning constitutional systems. 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\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\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\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003ePreface List of Contributors Acknowledgments   I.

This edition has been comprehensively revised and updated to reflect the profound changes in corporate law and governance practices that have taken place since the previous edition. These include numerous regulatory changes following the financial crisis of 2007-09 and the changing landscape of governance, especially in the US, with the ever more central role of institutional investors as (active) owners of corporations. The geographic scope of the coverage has been broadened to include an important emerging economy, Brazil. In addition, the book now incorporates analysis of the burgeoning use of corporate law to protect the interests of external constituencies without any contractual relationship to a company, in an attempt to tackle broader social and economic problems. The authors start from the premise that corporations (or companies) in all jurisdictions share the same key legal attributes: legal personality, limited liability, delegated management, transferable shares, and investor ownership. Businesses using the corporate form give rise to three basic types of agency problems: those between managers and shareholders as a class; controlling shareholders and minority shareholders; and shareholders as a class and other corporate constituencies, such as corporate creditors and employees. After identifying the common set of legal strategies used to address these agency problems and discussing their interaction with enforcement institutions, The Anatomy of Corporate Law illustrates how a number of core jurisdictions around the world deploy such strategies. In so doing, the book highlights the many commonalities across jurisdictions and reflects on the reasons why they may differ on specific issues. The analysis covers the basic governance structure of the corporation, including the powers of the board of directors and the shareholder meeting, both when management and when a dominant shareholder is in control. It then analyses the role of corporate law in shaping labor relationships, protection of external stakeholders, relationships with creditors, related-party transactions, fundamental corporate actions such as mergers and charter amendments, takeovers, and the regulation of capital markets. The Anatomy of Corporate Law has established itself as the leading book in the field of comparative corporate law. Across the world, students and scholars at various stages in their careers, from undergraduate law students to well-established authorities in the field, routinely consult this book as a starting point for their inquiries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e1: John Armour, Henry Hansmann, Reinier Kraakman, and Mariana Pargendler: What is Corporate Law? 2: John Armour, Henry Hansmann, and Reinier Kraakman: Agency Problems and Legal Strategies 3: John Armour, Luca Enriques, Henry Hansmann, and Reinier Kraakman: The Basic Governance Structure: The Interests of Shareholders as a Class 4: Luca Enriques, Henry Hansmann, Reinier Kraakman, and Mariana Pargendler: The Basic Governance Structure: Minority Shareholders and Non-Shareholder Constituencies 5: John Armour, Gerard Hertig, and Hideki Kanda: Transactions with Creditors 6: Luca Enriques, Gerard Hertig, Hideki Kanda, and Mariana Pargendler: Related-Party Transactions 7: Edward Rock, Paul Davies, Hideki Kanda, Reinier Kraakman, and Wolf-Georg Ringe: Fundamental Changes 8: Paul Davies, Klaus Hopt, and Wolf-Georg Ringe: Control Transactions 9: Luca Enriques, Gerard Hertig, Reinier Kraakman, and Edward Rock: Corporate Law and Securities Markets 10: John Armour, Luca Enriques, Mariana Pargendler, and Wolf-Georg Ringe: Beyond the Anatomy","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732770763095,"sku":"9780198724315","price":36.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780198724315.jpg?v=1719998324"},{"product_id":"competition-law-of-the-eu-and-uk-9780198725053","title":"Competition Law of the EU and UK","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003eA concise and easy-to-follow introduction to competition law, which provides a clear path through this highly technical subject.

In so doing, the authors trace the origins of some contemporary practices to the Soviet past, but also identify novelties. They pay close attention to the struggles of reformers to make the courts fairer and more efficient, along with the measures taken to ensure that judges conform to the expectations of their political masters.

Contrary to existing expectations, judges regularly abandon their own established interpretations in favor of new understandings. In Reconstructing Rights, Stephan Stohler offers a new  theory of judicial behavior which demonstrates that judges do not act alone. Instead, Stohler shows that judges work in a deliberative fashion with aligned partisans in the elected branches to articulate evolving interpretations of major statutes and constitutions. 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 overall purpose of this book is therefore to fill a gap in the literature by identifying whether conceptual differences between countries exist. Rather than concentrate on whether the institutional structure of the corporation varies across jurisdictions, the objective of this book will be pursued by focusing on specific cases and how different countries might treat each of these cases. The book also has a public policy dimension, because the existence or absence of differences may lead to the question of whether formal harmonisation of company law is necessary.  The book covers 12 legal systems from different legal traditions and from different parts of the world (though with a special emphasis on European countries).

It examines the foundations and the organisation of judicial review, the types of administrative action, and corresponding kinds of review and access to court. Significant attention is also devoted to the conduct of the court proceedings, the grounds for review, and the standard of review and the remedies available in judicial review cases.  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.  During the last decade, the growing influence of EU law on national procedural law has been increasingly recognised. However, the way in which national systems of judicial review address the requirements imposed by EU law differs substantially. The casebook compares the primary sources (legislation, case law etc) of the legal systems covered, and explores their differences and similarities: this examination reveals to what extent a \u003ci\u003eius commune\u003c\/i\u003e of judicial review of administrative action is developing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003eThe incredible richness of the materials collected in this book and the soundness of the in-depth analysis provided in all the chapters will certainly represent a very useful resource for classes and research in comparative administrative law and judicial systems. -- Giulio Napolitano, University of Roma Tre * Review of European Administrative Law *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e1.

Through a structured evaluation of the legislative and judicial decisions, the authors examine the private international law in the Republic and whether it conforms to international standards and best practices as adopted in major jurisdictions such as the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, India's BRICS partners - Brazil, Russia, China and South Africa and other common law systems such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Nepal.   Divided into 13 chapters, the book provides a contextualised understanding of legal transformation on key aspects of the Indian conflict-of-law rules on jurisdiction, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments or arbitral awards. Particularly fascinating in this regard is the discussion and focus on both traditional and contemporary areas of private international law, including marriage, divorce, contractual concerns, the fourth industrial revolution, product liability, e-commerce, intellectual property, child custody, surrogacy and the complicated interface of ‘Sharia’ in the conflict-of-law framework.  The book deliberates the nuanced perspective of endorsing the Hague Conference on Private International Law instruments favouring enhanced uniformity and predictability in matters of choice of court, applicable law and the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.   The book's international and comparative focus makes it eminently resourceful for legislators, the judges of Indian courts and other interested parties such as lawyers and litigants when they are confronted with cross-border disputes that involve an examination of India's private international law.

Using case studies and examples from across the EU, the UK, and the US, this book provides a compass to navigate this technological transformation as well as the regulatory options available, and proposes a new map for the era of radical digital advancements.  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. Contrary to preliminary analyses forecasting the threat of human work obsolescence, the book demonstrates that digital tools are more likely to replace managerial roles and intensify organisational processes in workplaces, rather than opening the way for mass job displacement.  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?  Technology is never neutral. It can and must be governed, to ensure that progress favours the many.

We are in a time of transition. Artificial Intelligence is making significant breakthroughs in how humans use data and information, and is changing our lives in virtually all aspects. The pandemic has pushed society to adopt changes in how, when, why, and the media through which, we interact. A new generation of European digital regulations — such as the AI Act, Digital Services Act, Digital Markets Act, Data Governance Act, and Data Act — is on the horizon. This raises difficult questions as to which rights we should have, the degree to which these rights should be balanced against other poignant social interests, and how these rights should be enforced in light of the fluidity and uncertainty of circumstances.  The book covers a range of topics, including: data protection risks in European retail banks; data protection, privacy legislation, and litigation in China; synthetic data generation as a privacy-preserving technique for the training of machine learning models; effectiveness of privacy consent dialogues; legal analysis of the role of individuals in data protection law; and the role of data subject rights in the platform economy.  This interdisciplinary book has been written at a time when the scale and impact of data processing on society – on individuals as well as on social systems – is becoming ever more important.

In the early 2010s, a full-fledged (optional) EU Sales Law Code was on the agenda. However, this endeavour failed. In 2019 two directives took up the central ideas ?              the 2019\/770 Digital Content Directive and the 2019\/771 Sale of Goods Directive. The digital content part attracted considerably more attention while the sales part was arguably including the more doctrinal and foundational reform of EU Sales Law, first enshrined in the 1999\/44 Directive. This volume focuses on the sales reform. After 20 years, the novelties range from more detailed structures to completely new phenomena such as goods with digital components, as well as innovative policies like sustainability in the design of contract law, and finally even a scission within contract law triggered by servitisation. The contributions take up the important aspects of this doctrinal and policy design-oriented reform of EU sales law. The volume thus discusses system building in this renewal, the challenges lying ahead, the lacunae still to be filled and the changes needed to reap the benefits of the (policy) reform. This begins with a much more nuanced typology of goods for sale, including durable or refurbished goods (both with links to sustainability) and goods with digital elements (important for high-performance goods, as well as long-term use). It continues by presenting a changed concept of conformity of goods, including durability, requiring an adaptation with respect to the digital components. Besides, long-term-use related services as well as questions regarding ethical\/ecological production processes are also discussed. A side-aspect examined within the book is the subjective versus objective definition of conformity. Additionally, some chapters enquire into the overall network (distribution chains) and its impact on durability, sustainability, good incentive structures, and remedies. The focus on the priority of repair and the (potentially problematic) regime of (rather short) limitation periods, as well as issues regarding the reversal of burden of proof stand out. In a final larger segment, the radical alternative of goods coupled with service or digital elements, as well as the shift from sale of goods to servitisation contracts aimed at putting a certain type of good at permanent, yet revolving, disposal, come under discussion.YESIM M.

While its spread has been surrounded by distrust and suspiciousness, today more than half of the EU Member States have introduced collective actions for damages and from those who did, more than half chose, to some extent, the opt-out system.This book demonstrates why collective actions have been felt needed from the perspective of access to justice and effectiveness of law, the European debate and the deep layers of the European reaction and resistance, revealing how the Copernican turn of class actions questions the fundamentals of the European thinking about market and public interest.

An important critical assumption made by the authors is that the gender equality perspective has been largely neglected in several branches of private law, since scholars researching the intersection between gender and legal studies are mostly focused on public law and human rights law. In light of that, the book contributes not only to the deconstruction of gender-blind private law, but also to the development of a gender-competent analysis of the key branches of private law, starting with private international law.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGender perspective in family law is analyzed on the basis of gendered and heteronormative operations of family law with reference to the formation of legally recognized relationships, the establishment of legal parenthood, the division of marital property after a divorce, and the arrangements for post-separation parenting. Also, regulation of family matters in Indian society and the gender equality perspective from the principle of the child’s best interest are considered. As far as tort law is concerned, the book addresses compensation for damages suffered by women performing unpaid household work. Further, it contains papers dedicated to the following labour law issues: the genesis of labor law and its capacity to contribute either to worsening gender inequality in the world of work or to promoting gender equality; gender segregation in the labour market and its connection to family-friendly policies in the European Union; sexual harassment at work; and the impact of work digitalization on gender-related labour law issues. Lastly, the authors analyze gender equality in civil procedural law, as well as in mediation as a tool for encouraging the peaceful settlement of disputes. The book is intended to improve awareness of the wide range of private law issues that are important for understanding the ways in which gender inequality shapes everyday experiences, while also presenting critical considerations of the key private law instruments for achieving gender equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/h2\u003e“This book marks a turning point in the trend, as it offers a mainly European– in the sense that will be explained later – but still plural perspective on private law and gender intersections, without forgetting the great debt to American contributions. … it also offers it with an approach that aims to be exhaustive, i.e., to cover all the sensitive issues, at least from the standpoint of private law.” (Letizia Coppo, Analysis PFB, Issue 3, 2023)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003eGender Issues in Private International Law.- The Reproduction of Gender Difference and Heteronormativity in Family Law.- Family Matters: Gender, Community and Personal Laws in India.- Compensation for Damages Suffered by Women Performing Unpaid Domestic Work.- The Best Interests of the Child and Gender Perspective.- Gender Perspective of Development of Labour Law.- Leading or Breeding; Looking Ahead – Gender Segregation in the Labour Market and the Equal Distribution of Family Responsibilities.- Legal Approaches to Protection Against Gender-Based Violence and Harassment at Work with a Particular Focus on the Situation in the Republic of North Macedonia.- Digital Work and Gender Equality.- Gender Discrimination: Procedural Issues Between Procedural Autonomy, EU Provisions and Effectiveness of Judicial Protection.- Gender Perspectives in Mediation.","brand":"Springer International Publishing AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48743072366935,"sku":"9783031140914","price":113.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783031140914.jpg?v=1791480628"},{"product_id":"the-international-handbook-of-social-enterprise-law-benefit-corporations-and-other-purpose-driven-companies-9783031142154","title":"The International Handbook of Social Enterprise","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/h2\u003eThis open-access book brings together international experts who shed new light on the status of social enterprises, benefit corporations and other purpose-driven companies.

This book outlines the extent to which these new and innovative technologies could have potentially disruptive effects on contract law in Europe. It does so through a comparative, three-part analysis of the recognisability and effects of smart contracts in European legal systems. 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. Lastly, it analyses the current European rules of private international law on the basis of which jurisdiction and applicable law are developed.
