Questioning the Role of Competition Law in the 21st Century

2. Tagung Junges Kartellrecht | Wien 2024

The Law of Financial Crime

This book offers a critical examination of the due diligence frameworks employed by select Commonwealth Island Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programs, where an investment of as little as USD $200,000 can secure a second passport, granting visa-free access to numerous countries. While these programs have positioned themselves as lucrative avenues for economic development, they have drawn sharp international criticism for their susceptibility to financial crime.The study delves into the consequences of the weaknesses in the frameworks, highlighting how inadequate regulatory oversight can erode investor trust, invite international sanctions, and jeopardise the long-term economic sustainability of CBI programs. Through a financial crime lens, it explores how these shortcomings have turned CBI programs into potentially high-risk ventures, attracting scrutiny from international regulators, law enforcement agencies, and global watchdogs, in the region and beyond. It discusses how the European Union has emerged as a leading voice in scrutinising the vulnerabilities of CBI programs, regularly highlighting the inadequacy of their due diligence practices and their susceptibility to misuse in facilitating financial crimes. With emerging technologies such as AI offering transformative solutions, it is argued here that the failure to integrate these tools into due diligence processes represents a missed opportunity to address the inherent vulnerabilities of the CBI industry. This critical shortfall highlights the urgent need to bolster due diligence practices, ensuring they are equipped to combat the sophisticated methods employed by financial criminals.The book will be of interest to academics, researchers and policy makers working in the areas of Financial Crime, In ternational Law, Global Security, AI and Law, Immigration and Citizenship Law.

Contributions to Finance and Accounting

This book presents a novel analytical framework for examining the role of taxation in corporate finance, grounded in the Brusov–Filatova–Orekhova (BFO) theory and its perpetuity limit—the Modigliani–Miller (MM) theory. The authors investigate the influence of taxation on key financial indicators and investment project performance, incorporating the practical realities of corporate operations, such as the timing and frequency of tax payments and income variability.
 The book formulates evidence-based recommendations for regulatory bodies concerning the structure, timing, and differentiation of profit tax payments, particularly in relation to corporate debt levels and other financial characteristics. It also provides strategic guidance for firms in selecting optimal tax payment methodologies.
 Furthermore, the authors explore the implications of tax burden on dividend policy and identify a range of innovative effects with the potential to inform both regulatory tax policy and managerial decision-making. This work contributes to the advancement of financial theory by integrating taxation into dynamic investment and capital structure models under realistic economic conditions.

Modern Studies in European Law

This book explores discretionary decision-making in migration systems in Europe. It investigates how European law influences the existence, exercise and effects of discretion. Firstly, it argues that national lawmakers often regard discretionary decision-making as the most viable option to accommodate standards of European law in their national migration systems. Secondly, the book shows how the exercise of this power has changed from an area of free choice to an instance of legally instructed decision-making. Ultimately, it illustrates how both the proliferation and transformation of discretionary decision-making have improved the legal position of migrants in the European Union, providing a compelling interpretation of a key field of EU law.

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.

Introduction to Shipping

Technology governance is about choices. Every company must choose the technologies it adopts and how it will deploy them. Those choices matter.

Market forces, technology architecture, norms, and laws all have a strong effect on the choices that any company makes in adopting new technologies. Navigating those forces and deciding how to make the right choices is up to the company's leaders. Choosing digital trust is key to mitigating risk and building trustworthy innovation. Written by corporate governance expert Daniel Dobrygowski, Technology Governance helps business leaders identify and make the choices that will lead to trust and long-term success in a constantly evolving technology landscape.

Focusing on how to earn trust in new technologies and defend innovation in an increasingly mistrustful world, this book is a practical guide to implementing a digital trust-based technology governance program. Technology Governance helps leaders by providing a plan to build and deploy technology better, faster, and more responsibly. It covers the actions organizations can take to build digital trust into the tech that they procure or develop so that it considers all stakeholders' interests and upholds societal expectations and values. It includes coverage of how organizations can navigate the geopolitical and regulatory challenges associated with transformational technologies and includes real-world examples and leadership advice from organizations including Maersk, Google, and Microsoft.

Technology Governance

SIDREA Series in Accounting and Business Administration

In an increasingly interconnected and complex world, businesses face environmental, social, and economic challenges that demand thoughtful reflection and a shift in operational approaches. Today, focusing solely on profit is no longer sufficient. Companies are expected to make decisions that also consider the impact of their actions on the environment, society, and governance. 

This book integrates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into business strategies and analyses its role for firms striving to remain competitive and responsible in a rapidly evolving economic landscape. The author recognizes the ESG approach as a central element of business strategy and not only addresses global challenges such as climate change and social inequality but also its critical role in managing systematic risks—those that affect the entire market and cannot be easily diversified.

Democracy’s Power to Meet Tomorrow’s Polycrisis

Pandemocracy in the Anglosphere

Modern life is speeding up, constantly. While the art of saving time reaches unprecedented heights through the introduction of ever-new technologies of communication and production, it nevertheless feels as though we are running out of time. In all Western societies, time scarcity is increasing and individuals report the impression of having to run faster and faster every year - not in order to get somewhere, but just to stay where they are. In this short book Hartmut Rosa outlines his theory of social acceleration and uses it to analyze the causes and consequences of the temporal processes that characterize modern societies. He shows that modern temporal structures are governed by the logic of an acceleration process that defines the essence of modernity. He also develops a critical theory of social acceleration, arguing that acceleration leads to severe forms of alienation from time and space, from things and actions and from self and others, thus constituting a key obstacle to the realization of a 'good life' in late-modern society.

Alienation and Acceleration

John Maynard Keynes’s General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money revolutionized economics. But it can be dense and cryptic, an intimidating work for the uninitiated. This companion volume approaches the argument methodically and with clarity, explaining obscure terms and breaking down Keynes’s ideas and their significance for his time and ours. Award-winning economist and author Geoff Mann allows readers to comprehend why the word "Keynesian" has become so contentious today — and so important.
