Economic and Financial Law & Policy – Shifting Insights & Values

This book is written for local food producers, consumers, researchers, and policymakers who support sustainable development. By exploring the pre-set functions of Geographical Indications (GIs), this book proves that it is imperative that GIs contribute to sustainable development, e.g., the preservation of local biophysical resources and cultural heritage, climate change mitigation and rural revitalization. This is a multidisciplinary research project involving law, circular economy, and systemic design, with the conclusion which is based on deductive reasoning and exemplified by selected cases. Focusing on EU law and Chinese law on GIs, this book puts forward suggestions for further improvement of GI legislations in the EU and China from a functional perspective concerning values, the subject matters, and protection measures so that GIs can contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals. It also provides guiding rules for solving the identified conflicts contained in the EU-China Agreement on GIs. This is the first book that explains the product and origin link of GI using circular economy theory in addition to the 
 terroir
 theory. This book can guide local producers to design their production model in a sustainable way and help policymakers to turn GIs into a sustainable development tool.

Planting a Sustainable Root for Geographical Indications

Understanding China

This book systematically covers the environmental law issues of China. It starts with the challenges to traditional law and the emergence of environmental law, introduces the basic issues of environmental law and calls for the restructuring of the law, proposes environmental rights and reviews the practice of environmental rights. Then, this book discusses international environmental law developments, the change of notions of Chinese environmental law and the restructuring of Chinese environmental regulatory tools. It points out the insufficiency of traditional private law and public law and proposes that innovation of private law and public law is needed to address environmental issues in China. It addresses issues of Chinese environmental law as well as issues of international environmental law.This book pays attention to the special issues of Chinese environmental governance. Unlike many books introducing foreign environmental legislation into China, this book focuses on Chinese issues, Chinese environmental issues, and Chinese environmental law issues. This focus on the special issues of Chinese environmental governance makes it more revealing the real situations of China. From this book, readers may understand the history of Chinese environmental law as well as the future of Chinese environmental law, blackletter law, living law, achievements and insufficiency.&nbsp;Zhongmei Lyu, Vice Chairperson of China Law Society and Chairperson of China Society of Environmental and Resources Law.Prof. Lyu won the awards of China National Distinguished Young Jurists, Chinese Renowned Jurists, and many other awards.

New Horizons of Environmental Law

This book defines the substance over form doctrine in Tax Law and sets clear limits on its application within the Brazilian Constitutional Tax System. Grounded in Brazilian constitutional principles and illustrated with case examples, the analysis develops a general framework that is extensible to other liberal democracies, testing the doctrine’s compatibility with constitutional principles while delineating boundaries for legitimate use. Drawing on a paradigmatic case from Brazilian Tax Law, Chapter One offers a precise definition of the substance over form argument and examines each component to distinguish it from accounting based approaches to taxation, debates on the relationship between Tax Law and Private Law, the defeasibility of tax rules, the rejection of qualification nominalism, and the principle of material truth; it also maps points of contact with interpretations of “form” as requirements for the existence or validity of legal transactions or as essential elements of those transactions, and presents multiple examples of the doctrine’s use in Brazilian Tax Law. Chapter Two critically refutes three common justifications for the prevalence of substance over form in Brazil—broad notions of simulation, the principle of contributive capacity, and economic substance—and then analyzes eight constitutional principles that favor a priori formal qualification criteria in tax matters: the rule of law, democracy, separation of powers, legality, legal certainty, human dignity, freedom, and equality. Chapter Three outlines practical limits on substance over form arguments by identifying preference rules for resolving conflicts among qualification criteria for facts, acts, and legal transactions in Brazilian Tax Law—whether in “form versus form” or “form versus substance” structures—thus providing a rigorous, constitutionally grounded roadmap for courts, tax authorities, and practitioners focused on Brazilian Tax Law, the Constitutional Tax System, economic substance, formal qualification, and legal certainty. Chapter Four compares the definition and criteria for applying the substance-over-form argument, as established in light of examples from Brazilian Tax Law, with key cases of this argument’s application in other countries. The aim is to outline, even if only preliminarily, the limits of the applicability of the theses presented in this work to other legal systems.

Judicial Systems in Comparative Perspective

Sharing economy promised a way of using property for the mutual benefit of owners and consumers, but in the last decade it has only worked to profit large commercial platforms. This book shows how institutions of risk management are part of this problem and offers a solution: collaborative risk structures. The book uncovers risk as the missing element in accounts of property theory and sharing economy. Drawing on diverse insights from economic theory and legal studies, it explains how property and private law form a risk management infrastructure which reinforces private property, and examines the paralysing effects this has on sharing, by constraining it to extractive market relations and stifling its collaborative potential. The book argues that overcoming these constraints is key to realising collaborative property and curbing the drawbacks of private ownership. It proposes institutional design principles and offers heuristic solutions such as radical uses of private law tools and insurance mechanisms to build a collaborative risk system capable of supporting more equitable and diversified forms of sharing.

Risk in the Sharing Economy

This book systematically examines the theoretical construction and practical applications of Legalist thought in state governance of ancient China. Centered on the three core theoretical pillars of "Law (Fa), Statecraft/Tactics (Shu), and Authority/Power (Shi)," it conducts an in-depth analysis of the unique insights of Legalist doctrine on legal systems, governance methods, and the operation of power through interpretations of classical works such as The Book of Lord Shang and Han Feizi. In exploring governance practices, this book focuses on the political reforms implemented by various states during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. It elaborates on the establishment of a centralized state structure and evaluates the effectiveness of specific governance mechanisms, including the prefecture-county system, household registration, and collective responsibility system. These institutional innovations not only laid the groundwork for the Qin dynasty's unification of the six states but also provided the foundational framework for China's state governance model over the following two millennia.

Global Perspectives on Civil Justice

The book assumes a rational conception of proof and contributes a missing piece in its construction: a general theory of standards of proof, their functions, the manner in which they ought to be formulated, and their connection to due process and the duty to give reasons for judicial decisions. The reader will find a line of argument rich in suggestions on many evidentiary topics related to standards of proof, soundly grounded and supported by an extensive body of international scholarship and case-law. Particularly significant is the analytical perspective drawn from the tradition of civilian law countries. The book's core ideas are: 1) the justificatory irrelevance of the fact-finder's conviction or beliefs; 2) the methodological criteria for the correct formulation of standards of proof; 3) the political-moral considerations involved in determining the level of exactingness of each standard of proof; and 4) the idea that the duty to give reasons is not a substitute for the need to have standards of proof but rather, on the contrary, presupposes that such standards are in place. The book aims to ground a general theory of standards of proof that goes beyond the differences inherent to common law and civil law systems, and that cuts across both civil and criminal jurisdictions.

Zum Werk Rückversicherung bedeutet die Übernahme von einem anderen versicherten Risiko. Auf Rückversicherungsverträge sind die Vorschriften des Versicherungsvertragsgesetzes grundsätzlich nicht anwendbar. Vielmehr hat sich für diese Vertragsbeziehungen ein eigenständiges Rechtsregime herausgebildet, das sich vor allem aus Handelsbräuchen und aus nach dem Grundsatz von Treu und Glauben abgeleiteten Prinzipien speist. Einer der wichtigsten Standorte der Rückversicherungswirtschaft weltweit ist Deutschland. Die schwer zugängliche Materie wird mit diesem Handbuch umfassend in deutscher Sprache behandelt. Das Werk geht dabei nicht nur auf den Rückversicherungsvertrag ein, sondern behandelt alle im Zusammenhang mit der Rückversicherung stehenden Fragen, etwa des Unternehmens- und des Aufsichtsrechts. Mit Beiträgen zu den Themen: Unternehmensrecht der Rückversicherung - Rechnungslegung und Steuern - Internationales Privatrecht - Deutsches Rückversicherungsvertragsrecht - Compendium Entscheidungen Schweizer Gerichte zum Rückversicherungsvertragsrecht - Rechtsvergleichende Hinweise zum Vertragsrecht der Rückversicherung und zu den Principles of Reinsurance Contract Law (PRICL) - Recht der Rückversicherung des Lebensversicherungsgeschäfts - Rückversicherungsverhältnisse in der Insolvenz - Recht der Vermittlung von Rückversicherungsverträgen - Nichttraditionelle Rückversicherung in den Personen- und Schaden-Versicherungen - Schadenbearbeitung - Schadenmanagement - Nachhaltigkeit und Rückversicherung - Datenschutz - Gerichtliche Konfliktlösung bei Rückversicherungsverträgen - Alternative Konfliktlösung bei Rückversicherungsverträgen - KI im Run-Off-Management von Rückversicherungs-Verbindlichkeiten Vorteile auf einen Blick<ul><li>eine der wenigen Darstellungen zum Thema</li><li>Beiträge zu allen Rechtsfragen der Rückversicherung</li><li>Berücksichtigung internationaler Aspekte</li></ul> Zur Neuauflage Berücksichtigt wird der aktuelle Stand von Rechtsprechung und Literatur.

Thoughtful advice on how to leave academia gracefully and build your best life in retirement Retirement is one of the most challenging transitions in an academic's career, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the changes that lie ahead. This how-to guide explains how to structure your last few years of employment so that you retire well and feel good about it. Drawing on engaging personal stories from across academia, it shares concrete tips for letting go of one key phase of life and embracing the opportunity to reinvent yourself in the next. On Retiring makes the case that you have the ultimate say in charting your path through retirement, aging, and whatever comes next after academia--and provides the guidance you need to do so. Susan Shaw describes the lessons she learned from her own retirement experience and those of her colleagues, highlighting what worked and what didn't while paying special attention to the things that make the academic workplace unique. She outlines the four-year retirement plan she developed for herself and suggest some steps colleges and universities can take to honor the service of faculty members and help them to stay connected after retirement. Along the way, Shaw examines some of the downsides of aging in the academy and discusses relevant differences in academic experiences, covering topics such as gender, race, and sexuality. Focusing on so much more than just financial planning, On Retiring empowers you with social, psychological, and philosophical tools to leave the academy on your own terms and thrive in retirement.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of how recurring contractual practices and arbitral awards in cross-border M&amp;A transactions give rise to transnational M&amp;A law. It begins by defining the scope of inquiry and establishing systems theory as the foundation for understanding the formation of transnational M&amp;A law. The discussion then situates these developments within the broader context of economic globalization and the fragmentation of private law. The book highlights the limitations of uniform law instruments in addressing the complexity of cross-border M&amp;A transactions and emphasizes the strategic use of private governance to manage uncertainty, particularly given the natural incompleteness of M&amp;A agreements.The analysis then identifies the three pillars that support the emergence of transnational M&amp;A law: the form shaped by the dominance of English and US/UK legal terminology; the repetition of clauses that reinforce legal memory; and the adaptation of contractual structures driven by M&amp;A global lawyering and the declining relevance of traditional legal families.Building on this foundation, the book explores the substantive components of cross‑border M&amp;A agreements, showing that the purchase price functions as the cornerstone of every M&amp;A deal. It analyzes how valuation and due diligence influence risk allocation, and examines the modular legal structures that recur across M&amp;A deals.The final chapter presents international commercial arbitration as the most suitable mechanism for resolving cross‑border M&amp;A conflicts. Arbitration is well suited to this because it keeps outcomes coherent and reinforces the legal structures the parties themselves agreed on. The conclusion connects the preceding chapters and offers direction for future research on transnational M&amp;A law.
