Taylor & Francis Ltd International Economic Law
Book SynopsisThe legal foundations of the international economyâwhich underpin both the actions of sovereign states, as well as the conduct of individuals and business entities engaged in cross-border transactionsâare now more than ever a crucial site for scholarly exploration.Indeed, with the growing impact of globalization, research in and around the subject flourishes as never before. This new four-volume collection from Routledge meets the need for an authoritative reference work to map a rapidly growing and ever more complex corpus of literature. Edited by a leading scholar, International Economic Law gathers foundational and canonical work, together with more contemporary and cutting-edge scholarship. 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.With 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, International Economic Law will be valued as a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Wyatt and Dashwood's European Union Law
Book SynopsisFirst published 30 years ago, Wyatt and Dashwood's European Union Law was a landmark publication, designed and written for students taking degree level courses in EU law. In the intervening years new editions have appeared at regular intervals, firmly establishing the book as a reliable and authoritative text. Besides introducing generations of students to the intricacies of European law it has also been increasingly relied upon by scholars, practitioners and the courts as a valuable source of reference on this complex and ever-expanding body of law. While the book cannot cover every aspect of the subject matter, it nevertheless offers comprehensive coverage of those aspects of EU law most commonly studied at degree level. Part I introduces the history and foundations of the Union's primary law. Part II looks at the Union's institutions, decision-making procedures and competences. It also deals with the Union judiciary, focusing on direct actions before the Union courts and preliminary references from national courts. The constitutional fundamentals of direct effect and supremacy, effective judicial protection before national courts, general principles of Union law and the Charter of Fundamental Rights are dealt with in Part III. Part IV covers the internal market: free movement of goods, Union citizenship, workers, establishment and services, the services directive, mutual recognition of qualifications, corporate establishment and company law harmonisation. Part V deals with competition law: Articles 101 and 102 TFEU, the enforcement of Union competition rules and other related competition law issues. Part VI then includes a brand new chapter concerned with the EU's external relations, together with treatment of the legal effects of international agreements entered into by the EU. As with previous editions the aim is to provide an accurate, critical, pragmatic and original account of the subject, at times also offering unique insiders' insights. The book holds to its reputation as being both broad and profound, the ideal foundation for gaining a deep understanding of EU law. This edition reflects the law post-Lisbon. It has also been re-structured and re-designed, so as to facilitate ease-of-use. Its original authors, Derrick Wyatt and Alan Dashwood, continue to make a significant contribution. Michael Dougan, Eleanor Spaventa and Barry Rodger complete the team of authors working on this invaluable textbook and reference work. The 6th edition has already been cited in the Northern Ireland High Court by The Honourable Mr. Justice Bernard McCloskey [2011] NIQB 61.Table of ContentsPART I: INTRODUCTION 1 From the Founding Treaties to the Treaty of Lisbon 2 An Overview of the Union's Primary Law PART II: INSTITUTIONAL FUNDAMENTALS 3 The Institutions of the European Union 4 The Union's Decision-making Procedures 5 The System of Union Competences 6 Direct Actions Before the Union Courts 7 References for Preliminary Rulings PART III: CONSTITUTIONAL FUNDAMENTALS 8 The Direct Effect and Supremacy of Union Law 9 Judicial Protection of Union Rights before the National Courts 10 General Principles of Union Law 11 Fundamental Rights 12 The Charter of Fundamental Rights PART IV: THE INTERNAL MARKET 13 Fiscal Barriers to the Free Movement of Goods 14 The Free Movement of Goods: Quantitative Restrictions and Measures Having Equivalent Effect 15 Union Citizenship and the Rights to Move and Reside in the European Union 16 Freedom of Movement for Workers 17 The Right of Establishment and the Freedom to Provide Services 18 The Directive on Services in the Internal Market 19 Mutual Recognition of Diplomas, Training and Experience, and the Co-ordination of National Qualifications 20 Corporate Establishment, Cross-border Acquisitions and Golden Shares 21 Company Law Harmonisation PART V: COMPETITION LAW 22 Introduction to EU Competition Law 23 Article 101: Cartels and Anti-competitive Agreements 24 Abuse of Dominance: Article 102 25 Enforcement of Articles 101 and 102 26 State Aid and State Regulation PART VI: EXTERNAL RELATIONS 27 External Action 28 The Legal Effects of International Agreements

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC International Investment Law: A Handbook
Book SynopsisThe growing importance of international investment law, fuelled by the processes of globalisation and the search for natural resources, and fostered by the ease of cross-border financial flows, has given rise to a huge expansion in the incidence of new investment treaties and, consequently, disputes. The complexity of this area and the enormous sums of investment involved mean that the agreements and treaties themselves are highly evolved, while the disputes arising are often hugely intricate and intractable. No area of international law is more in need of the careful and balanced attention of scholars. Anyone interested in international investment law will appreciate this comprehensive, thoughtful and detailed exploration of this area.Table of ContentsChapter 1: General Introduction to International Investment Law Chapter 2: The Law Relating to Aliens, the International Minimum Standard and State Responsibility Chapter 3: State Contracts and the Relevance of Investment Contract Arbitration Chapter 4: International Investment Agreements – History, Approaches, Schools The Evolution of the Regime of International Investment Agreements: History,Economics and Politics Chapter 5: Two Worlds, but Not Apart: International Investment Law and General International Law Chapter 6: The Scope of Application of International Investment Agreements Chapter 7: The Liberalisation of the International Movement of Capital and of International Investments Chapter 8: Standards of Protection Chapter 9: Restitution, Damages and Compensation Chapter 10: Obligations of Investors Chapter 11: Dispute Resolution Chapter 12: Political Risk Insurance and Financing of Foreign Direct Investment Chapter 13: Contemporary Issues and Outlook Chapter 14: The Future of International Investment Law

And of the efforts urban authorities made to cope with risk."--Paul M Hohenberg, EH.Net "Gelderblom's Cities of Commerce, a work informed by both history and economic theory, should evoke both discussion and further work about the origins of the Western European economy."--James M.

New York University Press Just Trade
Book SynopsisWhile modern trade law and human rights law constitute two of the most active spheres in international law, follow similar intellectual trajectories, and often feature the same key actors and arenas, neither field has actively engaged with the other. This book makes a case for reaching a middle-ground between these two fields.Trade Review"Although highly developed international regimes promoting free trade and advancing human rights are often mischaracterized as mutually incompatible, this excellent study clearly demonstrates their common normative and institutional foundations as well as the complementarity of their respective purposes. In its convincing argument, Just Trade invites us to celebrate and utilize the capacity of free trade and human rights to advance a common agenda." -- Thomas Franck,co-author of Law and Practice of the United Nations"Professors Powell and Hernandez-Truyol have proposed an ambitious effort to bridge longstanding differences between the business and human rights communities by incorporating human rights and environmental obligations in trade agreements. Their book offers a multitude of new ideas on how a middle ground could be achieved, reflecting the authors' understanding of trade agreements and the challenges of harnessing trade's worldwide power for the advancement of human rights. Whatever one's views on the feasibility of a & new covenant' linking trade and human rights, there is always value in a comprehensive, in-depth discussion of the issues involved. And one cannot help but be impressed by the authors' passionate commitment to constructing a new path forward and their understanding of international law." -- Warren H. Maruyama,Partner, Hogan & Hartson LLP (formerly General Counsel, US Trade Representative 2007-2009)"Hernandez-Truyol’s and Powell’s collective expertise has yielded a highly readable effort designed to end the trade regime’s ‘splendid isolation’ from the rest of international law, and especially human rights law. Their text, intended for classroom use, will do much to lessen the unfortunate disconnect between these legal sub-specialities. Theirs is not an idealistic diatribe against the WTO but an honest attempt to marry the undeniable legitimacy of the human rights ideal with the equally undeniable economic benefits of using the law to advance states’ comparative advantage. The authors’ manifold (and sometimes surprising) examples of the connections between the trade and human rights ‘borderlands’ yield prescriptions for a more humane and sustainable form of trade liberalization." -- Jose Alvarez,author of International Organizations as Law-makers"“The authors intend the book to be a catalyst for discussion and development of policy coherence in these two areas [trade rules and human rights]. They should be applauded for an ambitious, even courageous, foray into this minefield and for a carefully developed, thought-provoking presentation... As a labor rights practitioner, I found a number of these ideas thought-provoking." * Industrial and Labor Relations Review *"This work is an ambitious attempt to redefine the relationship between international trade law and the legal and moral principles of international human rights. . .an impressive book that constructs a noteworthy case regarding how trade and human rights law can be reconstituted so that they are largely coterminous and mutually supportive." * CHOICE *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Acronyms Getting Started: A General Introduction 1 Global Concepts: International Law Primer 2 Pillars and Escape Hatches: Basic Concepts of International Trade Law in the Americas 3 Global Laws, Local Lives: Basic Concepts and Legal Regimes of Human Rights Law in the Americas 4 Splendid Isolation's Progeny: The Intersections of Trade and Human Rights 5 Who Belongs, Who Rules: Citizenship-Voice and Participation in the Global Marketplace 6 Ecosystem Degradation and Economic Growth: Trade's Unexploited Power to Improve Our Environment 7 Not Just a Question of Capital: Health and Human Well-Being 8 Exploitation or Progress?

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Sovereign Finance and the Poverty of Nations
Book SynopsisThis important and timely book explains the legal principles and politics involved in the issue of odious debts, and sovereign debt arrangements more generally.Trade ReviewThis book provides a very valuable contribution to the discussion about odious debts in that it, quite successfully, structures the often rather elusive argumentation. By developing a new and stringent approach to the emergence of a valid legal concept of odious debts, the author presents a fresh perspective to its underlying evaluations and allows, thus, a re-consideration of the need for effective rules in this context. This book will certainly influence fundamentally the future debate of odious debts. - Christoph G. Paulus, Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin, Germany Whenever a strict application of the law produces a result that is at variance with a general sense of what is morally right, trouble is surely in the offing. This is the central thesis of Yvonne Wong's Sovereign Finance and the Poverty of Nations. When is it legally permissible, when is it ethically acceptable, for a sovereign borrower to disavow a debt incurred in the name of the sovereign state, but not for its (or its citizens') benefit? And if debts incurred by unscrupulous politicians in one era can be disowned by their successors later on under gauzy notions of ''illegitimacy'' or ''odiousness'', what will prevent future unscrupulous politicians from casually dishonoring sovereign obligations that they would just prefer not to pay? These are deep waters, legally and morally. Wong has given us a fascinating insight into one of the most disquieting issues in international financial law. - Lee C. Buchheit, Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP, US Saddam Hussein was overthrown and executed, but his successors to power are still liable for the debts that he contracted for the nation. Odious regimes can create debts without consent or benefit of their citizens who must subsequently repay them. This fact puzzles both international law specialists and intellectuals who read magazines like The Economist. The result seems wrong, but the right solution is elusive. Yvonne Wong's important and timely book solves some of the puzzles by using methods and theories from international law, economics, and political science. It explains the law and politics inherent in sovereign debt arrangements, and proposes a new legal framework for odious debt. - From the foreword by Robert Cooter Yvonne Wong's book is one of the best treatments of the Odious Debt problem in the literature. It is thorough, balanced and yet manages to be creative. I have already used an early version in my International Debt class and the discussions that were generated were excellent. For anyone seeking to tackle this age old problem, I highly recommend this book. - Mitu Gulati, Duke University, US With some excellent historical research and important analysis of ''odious debt'' accumulation and sovereign debt restructuring mechanisms in modern times, this book is placing the issue of ''odious debt'' at the heart of International law. Thus, it will prove an indispensable companion to any scholar or policy-maker who wishes to gain a multi-prismatic understanding of ''odious debt'' illegality and its implications for the welfare of entire nations. --- Emilios Avgouleas, University of Edinburgh, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Robert Cooter Introduction 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Art Collecting Legal Handbook
Book SynopsisThe Art Collecting Legal Handbook, now in its third edition, is a cross-border legal guide to the ever-changing maze of rules and regulations when acquiring, moving, and sharing works of art and antiquities.Trade Review‘Art dealers are still all too often perceived as international social butterflies who mingle with the super rich hoping to conclude a transaction over a bubbly glass of champagne. This couldn’t be furthest from the truth. Far beyond the usual clichés, art professionals are responsible by law not only of the artwork itself (authenticity, pedigree, provenance, and title) but also of the legal structure used throughout a transaction, including VAT (or any other applicable taxes), customs procedures, and full documentation according to the jurisdictions of the different countries involved. The professional liabilities are simply too important nowadays that legal due diligence has become a cornerstone of our daily work. The Art Collecting Legal Handbook provides us with insightful answers covering the key questions in our field and offering a pragmatic overview of the applicable law in multiple jurisdictions.' -- Thomas Seydoux and Emilie Mermillod, Seydoux & Associés Fine Art, France‘To effectively operate on an international scale, it is crucial to have a thorough understanding of all relevant legal jurisdictions, encompassing aspects such as the acquisitions made in good faith, safeguarding cultural assets, and loans for public exhibitions. The Art Collecting Legal Handbook has been a consistent source of reliable and cohesive information for my team and me, making it my recommendation to any collector or institution in need of valuable insights prior to seeking legal advice.’ -- Jean Claude Gandur, Fondation Gandur pour l’Art, Switzerland‘The third edition of The Art Collecting Legal Handbook is a readable, expert analysis of the key trends and issues underpinning art business today. Covering everything from restitution to NFTs in over 25 of the most important jurisdictions in the art market, there could not be a more authoritative guide for collectors and other art world professionals navigating a path through the post-Covid art world.’ -- Gareth Harris, The Art Newspaper, UK‘One of the most fascinating and enjoyable aspects of Art Law as a legal discipline is its sheer breadth and diversity. That breadth exists primarily due to the wide range of legal and ethical considerations which can affect art. The discipline of art law is also constantly evolving as a result of the meeting of art and technology and by shifting public attitudes to cultural property. Bruno Boesch and Massimo Sterpi's excellent The Art Collecting Legal Handbook is a practical Handbook which celebrates the multi-faceted discipline of art law while also providing a comprehensive and comprehensible guide to lawyers and non-lawyers. Presented in a question and answer format, leading art lawyers throughout the world provide answers to a series of key questions on Contract Law, Consumer Protection, Cultural Property Protection, Taxation, Compliance and NFTs. As an international auction house general counsel this handbook is my go-to resource for guidance on questions of international art law.’ -- Martin Wilson, Chief Legal Counsel, Phillips Auctioneers, UKTable of ContentsContents: Introduction to the Third Edition of The Art Collecting Legal Handbook viii PART I CURRENT THEMES 1 The same ever changing art market 2 Christine Bourron, CEO, Pi-eX Ltd 2 NFT, illusion or reality in the art world? 10 Sydney Chiche-Attali, Chiche-Attali Avocats, Paris Bar 3 Finding one’s way in the indirect tax maze 18 Neil Millen, Group Indirect Tax Director, Christie’s PART II NATIONAL 4 Argentina 27 Juan Javier Negri, Negri & Pueyrredon Abogados, Buenos Aires, Argentina 5 Australia 43 Janet Whiting, Jessica Laidman and Duncan Willis, Gilbert + Tobin, Melbourne, Australia 6 Austria 63 Peter M.
