Financial Markets (Dis)Integration in a Post-Brexit EU

Towards a More Resilient Financial System in Europe

1 Introduction.-&amp;nbsp;2 Financial (De)Globalization and Financial Market (Dis)Integration.-&amp;nbsp;3. Finance-Led Capitalism and Neoliberal Financial Market Integration in Europe.-&amp;nbsp;4 Brexit and Financial (Dis)Integration: Between Cakeism, Project Fear, and Reality.-&amp;nbsp;5 Finishing Capital Markets Union.-&amp;nbsp;6 Finishing the Banking Union.-&amp;nbsp;7 Conclusion: The Future of Financial Markets (Dis)Integration.

Why socially responsible investment promises to make investors richer and the world better—but fails at both. Wall Street thrives by telling investors that clever financial strategies can reverse the trade-off between corporate profits and social progress. But the link between greater corporate social responsibility and improved financial performance is an illusion. Profit vs. Progress dissects the massive $30 trillion “socially responsible” or “sustainable” finance industry—and finds the emperor has no clothes. At best, sustainable investing typically delivers average rates of financial and social returns. But it makes social and environmental crises harder to overcome, by using financial gimmickry to distract our attention from real solutions. Author Brad Swanson argues that corporations in competitive markets act without moral values, and ethical investment can’t prod them to take greater social responsibility. The only way to change the outcome of the game is to change the rules. The solutions will have to come from legislatures, not corporate boardrooms. Swanson calls for public policies to make businesses better serve all of society, not just their shareholders—without blunting their edge. His recommendations include breaking up the cartel of large asset managers, rebuilding the influence of organized labor, curbing the rapacious behavior of the private equity industry, and eliminating the conflict of interest that pits corporate directors against the greater good of the community. The author shows that in previous eras of social crisis caused by corporate excess, meaningful reforms emerged through the political process. Today as well, the path forward is clear—if we have the will to follow it.

Swedish Studies in European Law

How should EU law respond to emergencies? More specifically, to what degree can fundamental rights be suspended in order to respond to an unprecedented crises? These questions are at the core of this open access book, asked initially in response to COVID-19 and its resulting restrictions but then as a more general conceptual examination. It looks at the question over five parts; opening with two general aspects: constitutional law and governance. It then takes a more applied approach, looking at three case studies: migration, climate change, and, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic. Fascinating, insightful and considered, it ensures lessons can be learnt. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by the Swedish Studies Network.

As societies struggle to respond to the revival of private renting, this book offers the first comprehensive and critical account of the inequality at the heart of contemporary housing systems. Bringing together cutting-edge research and case studies from a host of countries - from the USA to Australia, from Spain to Germany - Michael Byrne examines inequality, financialization, the rise of 'generation landlord' and evictions. He analyses the everyday power dynamics between landlords and tenants and the social and economic structures that mean the ownership of residential property is concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. Moving beyond the kind of thinking that treats landlordism as natural and inevitable, Byrne's political economy framework demonstrates how declining homeownership and its consequences for inequality and housing justice are major political challenges for contemporary societies. At the same time, a new generation of tenant activism can point the way to fairer housing systems. A groundbreaking study, Beyond Generation Rent is crucial reading for housing researchers, policy-makers, activists and anyone who cares about decent housing for all.

Wirtschaftsrecht und Wirtschaftspolitik

Das Werk analysiert das Spannungsfeld zwischen Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit und der Durchsetzung des Unionskartellrechts, insbesondere in Fällen, in denen die ex post-Kontrolle am Maßstab des Unionskartellrechts versagt. Ein praxisnahes Beispiel sind Schiedsorte in der Schweiz, die jüngst im Sportrecht Gegenstand von EuGH-Rechtsprechung waren. Vor diesem Hintergrund entwickelt der Autor das Konzept einer geographischen Beschränkung der Schiedsfähigkeit und untersucht deren Durchsetzung. Dabei wird auch die Einführung von anti-arbitration injunctions diskutiert. Die Arbeit richtet sich an Wissenschaftler:innen und Praktiker:innen im Bereich des Kartell- und Schiedsrechts.

For readers of His Name Is George Floyd and Under the Skin A landmark investigation into forensic medicine that exposes the systematic concealment of state-sanctioned violence through death investigations Each year, police officers kill over 1,000 people they've sworn to protect and serve. While some cases, like George Floyd's and Sandra Bland's, capture national attention, most victims remain nameless, their stories untold. The Coroner's Silence reveals a disturbing truth about these cases: coroners and other death investigators are often complicit in obscuring the violent circumstances of in-custody deaths. Through rigorous research—including critical records analysis, public health studies, and interviews with victims' families—this book unmasks the systemic failures within forensic medicine. Terence Keel shows how incomplete autopsy reports, mishandled medical documents, and strategically lost evidence effectively shield law enforcement from accountability. The Coroner’s Silence uncovers how the current system of death investigation operates as a mechanism of institutional safeguarding. By highlighting the structural powerlessness of coroners and their disconnection from the communities most affected by police violence, Keel demonstrates how bureaucratic processes can render human suffering invisible. True accountability requires more than procedural reform. It demands a fundamental reimagining of how we investigate, document, and understand deaths at the hands of state institutions. The Coroner's Silence is a crucial intervention that challenges us to confront the deeply ingrained mechanisms that perpetuate systemic violence.

Death Records and the Hidden Victims of Police Violence

The Coroner's Silence

You want something from government. A decision. A policy change. A contract. Project approval. Protection from a bad outcome.

Lobbying has long been seen as a murky, insider game - dominated by big corporations, political operators and those with the loudest voices. But done properly, lobbying is neither sinister nor mysterious. It is a legitimate, ethical and often essential part of how good decisions are made.

Mike Smith's decades of experience inside government, political parties, unions and professional lobbying mean Mastering the Dark Art of Lobbying is not a book about shortcuts, secret deals or 'who you know'. It's a practical guide to understanding decision-makers, shaping proposals to which government can actually say yes, choosing the right timing and avoiding the mistakes that derail otherwise good ideas. Blending real-world examples, clear frameworks and hard-won insights, this book demystifies lobbying and shows you how individuals, small businesses and community organisations can advocate confidently, ethically and successfully - whether you do the lobbying yourself or engage professional help.

If you've ever wondered how government decisions are really made, or how to give your idea the best chance of success, this book is your starting point.

Getting to 'Yes' with Government

Mastering the Dark Art of Lobbying

As the tech billionaires dominate the headlines, this groundbreaking book reveals the overlooked yet formidable influence of multi-generational family wealth on the global economy. It provides essential insights into the largest wealth transfer in human history - as 2% of the global population inherits vast fortunes over the next 25 years - revealing how this tsunami of inherited capital will transform investment landscapes, industrial financing, and potentially undermine nation-state autonomy.Drawing from extensive research and industry expertise, David Molian charts the meteoric rise of ultra-wealthy dynasties whose collective impact rivals - and may outlast - Silicon Valley's tech titans. It charts the historical patterns behind industry-dominating family businesses and their evolution into business dynasties, and how the coming $30+ trillion wealth transfer will reshape global finance, investment, and economic development. In stagnating economic times, the search for growth and prosperity dominates government agendas throughout the world. The evidence suggests that family businesses outpace their peers. Through numerous case histories and industry analyses, this book explains why and how harnessing and supporting their success may be a critical part of regenerating national economies. It also explains the forces - chiefly the components of globalism - that have propelled family wealth in the eastern hemisphere in the last half-century.Essential reading for anyone seeking to understand where true economic power lies in the 21st century, the book is specifically of interest to professionals involved in family business, including private banks, family offices, family consultants, law firms, and large accountancy practices.

Gender Equality Behind Bars represents the first analysis of prison and immigration detention policies, broadly identified as penality policies, within the context of gender policy studies. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, it provides a roadmap for better understanding penality policy from feminist and gendered perspectives. An introductory chapter examines the paradoxical relationship between gender equality and life behind bars for women.&nbsp;This is followed by ten in-depth case-studies on gender and penality policies in a unique line-up of countries in the Global North&nbsp;(Denmark, Poland, Portugal, Canada, the UK and Spain) and the Global South (Zimbabwe, Uruguay and Peru). The comparative conclusion identifies cross-national and cross-sectoral trends and proposes a research agenda for a gendered approach to penality policies. Issues including discrimination against women prisoners and women migrant detainees, gender-bias in prison environments&nbsp;and potential for gender transformation&nbsp;“behind bars” are covered throughout the book. Combining theoretical and empirical evidence, gender equality behind bars will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, gender studies, anthropology and criminology, as well as those interested in penal policies, criminal justice and punishment.

A Feminist Approach to Penality Policies Worldwide

Gender Equality Behind Bars

ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE ATLANTIC’S TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR • Through the “revelatory and gut-wrenching” (Associated Press) stories of five Atlanta families, this landmark work of journalism exposes a new and troubling trend—the dramatic rise of the working homeless in cities across America. “An exceptional feat of reporting, full of an immediacy that calls to mind Adrian Nicole LeBlanc’s Random Family and Matthew Desmond’s Evicted.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) FINALIST FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE, AND THE BERNSTEIN AWARD • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Washington Post, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Elle, New America, BookPage, Shelf Awareness The working homeless. In a country where hard work and determination are supposed to lead to success, there is something scandalous about this phrase. But skyrocketing rents, low wages, and a lack of tenant rights have produced a startling phenomenon: People with full-time jobs cannot keep a roof over their head, especially in America’s booming cities, where rapid growth is leading to catastrophic displacement. These families are being forced into homelessness not by a failing economy but a thriving one. In this gripping and deeply reported book, Brian Goldstone plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city. Maurice and Natalia make a fresh start in the country’s “Black Mecca” after being priced out of DC. Kara dreams of starting her own cleaning business while mopping floors at a public hospital. Britt scores a coveted housing voucher. Michelle is in school to become a social worker. Celeste toils at her warehouse job while undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. Each of them aspires to provide a decent life for their children—and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation’s working homeless. Through intimate, novelistic portraits, Goldstone reveals the human cost of this crisis, following parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. These are the nation’s hidden homeless—omitted from official statistics, and proof that overflowing shelters and street encampments are only the most visible manifestation of a far more pervasive problem. By turns heartbreaking and urgent, There Is No Place for Us illuminates the true magnitude, causes, and consequences of the new American homelessness—and shows that it won’t be solved until housing is treated as a fundamental human right.

"This is a big book, with big themes and an author with the necessary experience to back them up." - Law Quarterly Review (review of the 1st edition) Volume 1 of this new edition covers the roots and foundations of private law, the different origins, structure, and orientation of civil and common law, and the social and cultural forces behind it. It analyses the practical needs and market forces behind the emergence of a new transnational commercial and financial legal order, its international finance-driven impulses, concepts, and operation; the theoretical basis of the transnationalisation of the law in the professional sphere in that order; and the autonomous sources of the new law merchant or modern lex mercatoria derived from the method of public international law, as well as its relationship to domestic and transnational public policy and public order requirements. This magisterial work is made up of 6 volumes. Used independently, each volume allows the reader to delve into a particular topic. Alternatively, all volumes can be read together for a comprehensive overview of transnational comparative commercial, financial and trade law.

Dieses Buch bietet eine umfassende Analyse der wirtschaftspolitischen Entwicklungen in Österreich. Es beleuchtet die Herausforderungen, denen sich das Land in den letzten Jahrzehnten gegenübersah, und untersucht, wie Österreich auf Krisen wie die Finanzmarktkrise 2008, die Eurokrise, die Flüchtlingskrise 2015, die COVID-19-Pandemie und den Russisch-Ukrainischen Krieg reagiert hat. Ziel ist es, die Resilienz und Anpassungsfähigkeit des „Systems Österreich“ zu verstehen und zu bewerten.
In 15 Kapiteln, die von führenden Expert:innen verfasst wurden, werden zentrale Konzepte und Fragen der österreichischen Wirtschaftspolitik behandelt – von Politik und Wirtschaft über Alterung und Migration bis hin zu Geldpolitik und Inflation. Jedes Kapitel bietet nicht nur eine tiefgehende Analyse, sondern auch einen Einstieg in weiterführende Diskussionen.
