The term is not widely known, but many will recognize the names of companies like Bosch, Bertelsmann, Carlsberg, Hershey, Rolex, Investor or Tata Sons, which are owned by foundations or equivalent entities - stiftungen, trusts, fonde, stichtingen etcetera - whose names reflect their legal and national origins.  Although enterprise foundations have been around for more than a century, they have recently attracted attention as embodiments of the purpose-driven company advocated by Colin Mayer, the British Academy, the World Economic Forum, George Serafeim and others. Many foundations are non-profits without a personal profit motive, which sets them aside from other corporations. Instead, they are legally bound by their purpose, which is typically to secure the longevity and independence of the companies that they own and to contribute to society through philanthropy. As perpetuities which cannot be dissolved, they are long-term owners. However, not all enterprise foundations are equally idealistic. Some have strong ties to the founding family and continue to support its descendants. Others similarly have ties to the government organizations, cooperatives or associations that helped establish them. This book will delve into the motivations and circumstances resulting in these fascinating divergences.  Enterprise foundation law differs greatly around the world. Very few countries, like Denmark, have codified civil and tax law on the topic. Some - such as, until recently, the US - have effectively banned them. Others, like Germany, seek to limit foundation involvement in the underlying businesses. The tax treatment of foundations also varies considerably. Clearly there is much to be learned by mapping and analyzing the diversity here.  This book provides an overview of enterprise foundation law in six European countries - Germany, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland and Italy - which all host a number of important foundation-owned companies. A chapter on the US discusses to what extent enterprise foundations are permissible in the US. The book provides answers to the following questions on the subject: - Does foundation law allow enterprise foundations? If yes, with what qualifications? - Are enterprise foundations commonly used? What are the reasons for their popularity or lack of it? - What rules are in place regarding the purpose a foundation must have? Does running an enterprise alone suffices as a purpose for a foundation? - Does the law impose specific rules on foundation governance? - Are enterprise foundations subject to supervision by a public body? - To what extent are foundation enterprises favoured by the tax system?  This book is written by prominent law professors from seven different legal systems. A final, concluding chapter compares foundation law in the seven nations. Although all countries permit enterprise foundations in some forms, Enterprise Foundation Law in a Comparative Perspective demonstrates that great differences can be found in the relevant civil and tax laws, which influence their prevalence and governance.","brand":"Intersentia Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742008717655,"sku":"9781839703065","price":71.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781839703065.jpg?v=1720059659"},{"product_id":"the-african-continental-free-trade-area-and-the-future-of-investor-state-dispute-settlement-9781839703140","title":"The African Continental Free Trade Area and the","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement is at the forefront of current African business, trade and legal discussions. The future of African development, on a continental level, is largely tied to the success or failure of this agreement. One of the primary concerns of legal professionals and the international business community is the dispute settlement mechanism that will be built into the agreement.

The FTA would, with a phase-in period, eliminate tariffs on all goods traded between the United States and Singapore, cover trade in services, and protect intellectual property rights. The agreement has received support from the business community and consumer organisations but has been criticised by labour and some environmental interests. Some of the specific concerns raised deal with the restrictions on penalties for unresolvable disputes over labour and environmental issues, the Integrated Sourcing Initiative, potential capital controls, temporary visas, and access for U.S. exports of chewing gum. Since Singapore is a relatively small economy, the economic effects of the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, by themselves, are not likely to be great. The debate over implementation of the FTA is falling between business and free trade interests who would benefit from more liberalised trade, particularly in services, and labour or anti-globalisation interests who oppose more FTA''s because of the overall impact of imports on jobs and the general effects of globalisation on income distribution, certain jobs, and the environment. Specific provisions of the agreement also have generated debate. This book discusses the problems and issues that the Free Trade Agreement has brought up.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886513041751,"sku":"9781594541643","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"protectionism-anti-globalization-9781607413806","title":"Protectionism \u0026 Anti-globalization","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886728491351,"sku":"9781607413806","price":92.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781607413806.jpg?v=1722541323"},{"product_id":"relationship-between-the-dollar-price-of-oil-the-u-s-trade-deficit-9781617286865","title":"Relationship between the Dollar, Price of Oil \u0026","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886891544919,"sku":"9781617286865","price":107.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781617286865.jpg?v=1722542049"},{"product_id":"trade-adjustment-assistance-for-firms-program-elements-effectiveness-9781629482484","title":"Trade Adjustment Assistance for Firms: Program","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrade liberalisation can enhance the economic welfare of all trade partners, but in adjusting to greater competition, many import- competing firms and workers face difficult problems.

The report described the existing trade adjustment assistance (TAA) programs that provided (1) limited technical assistance to help business firms (including some that produced agricultural and food products) regain economic competitiveness or to shift into producing other goods, and (2) training assistance to workers (including those employed by some agricultural firms) to facilitate their transition into other occupations. It noted that the provision of direct financial assistance (such as income supplements) to farmers, or efforts to financially enable them to continue producing the commodity adversely affected by imports rather than help them adjust to employment in other sectors, would be inconsistent with the objectives of the then-existing TAA programs. Observers stated that farmers and ranchers typically did not qualify for the TAA workers program because they were self-employed (and thus rarely were eligible for unemployment benefits) and were less likely to want to be retrained for a new occupation (particularly if earning income from producing other crops or from non-farm sources). This book examines the TAA programs elements and effectiveness.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887081959767,"sku":"9781629482828","price":55.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781629482828.jpg?v=1722542914"},{"product_id":"canada-the-united-states-shared-approaches-to-security-trade-9781629482972","title":"Canada \u0026 the United States: Shared Approaches to","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887082189143,"sku":"9781629482972","price":119.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781629482972.jpg?v=1722542917"},{"product_id":"u-s-free-trade-agreements-enforcement-of-labor-provisions-with-partner-countries-9781634822886","title":"U.S. Free Trade Agreements: Enforcement of Labor","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePartner countries of free trade agreements (FTA) that the Government Accountability Office (GAO) selected -- the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) and the FTAs with Colombia, Oman, and Peru -- have taken steps to implement labour provisions and other initiatives to strengthen labour rights.

The gas crisis threatened the reliability of gas supplies to Europe. It demonstrated the necessity of bringing Belarus back into focus, explaining how and why the seemingly amicable Russian-Belarussian relationship had deteriorated to such an extent, and suggesting how the problem might evolve in the future. This book shows that the reliability of the Belarussian gas transit routes is influenced by changes in the intensity of the Russian-Belarussian integration and explores whether Belarus is in a position to manage (or, indeed, survive) within the new, 'commercial' framework to which the gas issues had shifted following the failure to establish political union. The book predicts that the mainstay of Belarussian welfare is bound to deteriorate as Russia continues to increase its domestic gas prices at 20% annually as part of its energy strategy and in line with WTO requirements - thus, also making Belarus's independent stance vis-a-vis Gazprom unsustainable. In order to secure gas prices at the level of, at least, Russian domestic prices, Belarus is likely to return to negotiating a joint venture operating the Belarussian transit network together with Gazprom. Yet, even if such a joint venture were to be formed, it would not eliminate the main reason of the unreliability of gas transit via Belarus - the weakness of the national economy. Therefore, unless Belarus embarks on reforms leading to substantial gas conservation, it will continue to be tempted to resort to unauthorised gas off-takes and non-payments undermining the reliability of transit.","brand":"ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49396277117271,"sku":"9783898216555","price":16.05,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783898216555.jpg?v=1730415338"},{"product_id":"international-migration-law-9780199668274","title":"International Migration Law","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA unique and comprehensive overview on the numerous international rules governing migration, this book brings together and analyses the disparate norms and treaties within international and European law.

The collection boldly identifies and elucidates International Economic Lawâs critical concepts to make sense of the subdisciplineâs evolution and to garner insights into its likely development.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a full index, together with a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, International Economic Law is an essential work of reference. For the novice or advanced student, the collection will be particularly useful as an essential database allowing scattered and often fugitive material to be easily located. And, for the more advanced scholar, as well as practitioners and policy-makers, it will be welcomed as a crucial tool permitting rapid access to less familiarâand sometimes overlookedâtexts. For all users, \u003cem\u003eInternational Economic Law\u003c\/em\u003e will be valued as a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49402131448151,"sku":"9780415543262","price":1710.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780415543262.jpg?v=1730479486"},{"product_id":"the-world-economy-9780631224112","title":"The World Economy","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is the sixth in an annual series in which top economists provide a concise and accessible evaluation of major developments in trade and trade policy. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli style=\"list-style:\" none\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn accessible and highly digestible information source on current trade and policy developments at global, regional and national levels.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by international and highly respected authors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines key issues pertinent to the multinational trading system, as well as regional trade arrangements and policy developmemnts at the national level.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAlso provides assessments of the World Trade Organization''s current Trade Policy Reviews.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Editorial Introduction:\u003c\/b\u003e. \u003cp\u003ePeter Lloyd and Chris Milner.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Institutional Focus:\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.

Is it the enemy of sustainability or the only hope against climate change? Rival camps are dug in, but Anthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp find points of agreement.

The authors manage to help readers understand the many faces of globalization by identifying multiple narratives that fuel different political movements and perspectives of the punditocracy. Ultimately, however, this is a book not just about globalization, but also about the power and importance of narrative: how it is constructed and how it can contribute to a far more nuanced and complex understanding of the forces of change. Highly recommended. -- Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when many of us have only one view of the world, so much so that we only read the books and watch the media that support our vision, Roberts and Lamp present us with a real challenge: they lay out convincingly and comprehensively many different narratives of globalization and its political and economic effects. The book thus implicitly challenges the narrative that each of us finds most compelling. Like in a movie by Kurosawa, our view of events depends on our position. This book compels us to change our position, move out of our comfort zone, and see the world differently and more broadly. -- Branko Milanovic, author of \u003ci\u003eCapitalism, Alone\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnthea Roberts and Nicolas Lamp have written a brilliant and extremely valuable book.

This immensely useful book clarifies the debates around globalization by developing six narratives rooted in contending values and perceptions of reality. It helps us not only understand the best version of other sides’ narratives, but also move beyond our own conceptual straitjackets. -- Dani Rodrik, Harvard University\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSix Faces of Globalization\u003c\/i\u003e is not one more big-think, grand-vision book on the world’s problems and how to solve them. Instead, it is an indispensable guide to how and why many people have abandoned the old, time-tested ways of thinking about politics and the economy. This is the book the world needs to read now.
