Goo S: Stakeholder Capitalism

Stakeholder Capitalism

How Stakeholder Boards Can Internalize Externalities to Increase Societal Efficiency

Cinema Cultures in Contact

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This wide-ranging intellectual and media history traces China's emergence as a modern state in which boundaries blur between art and design, education and psychological conditioning. Tracking the parallel development of set design and social engineering from the 1920s to the 1960s, Background Matters examines the concept of huanjing (environment), a neologism introduced at the turn of the twentieth century that evoked heated intellectual debates and inspired frenzied aesthetic experimentation. Weihong Bao shows how efforts to reshape the mind consolidated the idea and art of environment by advancing a new theoretical notion of set design: both as aesthetic organization across film, theater, radio, and television and as social experimentation in worldmaking across geopolitical and transnational contexts. Inventive and breathtaking in scope, this book radically rethinks environment not as an external object but as the nexus of mind, medium, and society.

Set and Design, Mind and Environment

Background Matters: Volume 9

Consumer Law and the Circular Economy promotes sustainability in consumer law through the circular economy, detailing how legal frameworks can conserve resources, prevent waste, and hold manufacturers accountable for their products' lifecycle. Focusing on improving the circular economy, the book advocates for responsible economic, environmental, and social change. Identifying the current gaps and challenges in implementing circular economy practices, it suggests policies to align countries with the European Green Deal, contributing to achieving a climate-neutral, resource-efficient, and competitive economy by 2050. The book analyses political and operational barriers, maps resource flows and sustainability in participating countries and evaluates consumer protection policies. It also provides data-driven insights for policymaking, and critiques consumer education efforts across 40 countries. Other topics included are collaborative systems such as the recycling value chain, waste management and upcycling. The topics presented in this book are of interest to researchers in the field of consumer law, economics and sustainability.

Sustainable Policies, Processes and Comparative Practices

Consumer Law and the Circular Economy

In a moment of interlocking and compounding crises that many commentators have aptly termed the "polycrisis," a leading economist offers a clear-eyed account of the underlying trends fueling the global instability and market mayhem that have come to characterize contemporary capitalism. 
 
Rampant inequality. Unchecked climate change. A global pandemic. And now, seething international divisions and the escalatory spiral of war and state violence. As the world moves toward the end of the 2020s, each of the pieces of this mosaic are becoming impossible to ignore, but how do they all fit together? And where is it all heading? 
 
To answer these questions, Marxist economist Michael Roberts draws on his forty-plus years of experience working in various financial institutions in the City of London to provide an empirically grounded and wide-ranging appraisal of the global situation. 
 
Roberts takes readers on a tour of the contemporary global economy, first by turning back to the Great Recession of 2008, and then offering a granular look at the economic priorities and contradictions of every region of the world. 
 
What emerges from this accounting of the polycrisis is the inescapable fact that capitalism's rapacious drive toward profit over and against any geopolitical boundaries or ecological limits threatens both humanity and the planet.&nbsp;

Landmark Cases

This book presents the landmark cases in company law which have shaped and defined the field and is written by leading experts in the field.

Part of the market-leading Landmark Cases series, this book brings together leading experts in company law to analyse the the landmark cases in company law which have shaped and defined the field. Drawing on a range of diverse methods and a multi-disciplinary orientation, the book explains the past, present, and future of company law as well as its shape, structure, and trajectory. Company law is now understood to be a creature of statute law. The Companies Act of 2006 is a monumental piece of legislative work. Cases, however, played a central role in creating, establishing, and influencing legal ideas that were later enshrined within pieces of legislation. To identify the landmark cases in company law, the book develops an original, democratic, and objective method. It undertakes a citation analysis of cases used by 5 leading English company law textbooks. Highly cited cases are widely understood to be central to the company law curriculum. Once these cases have been identified, they are examined by leading scholars in company law. The analysis that follows sheds some much needed light on how, why, and when historic rules came into being. This contextual analysis is missing from the original law reports as well as the legislation that we see in operation today. It follows that these novel accounts of the roots of company law push beyond a simplistic narration of the case and proffer a new explanation for why legal rules took the shape that they did. Other archaeological studies also provide a fresh account of the case. Such an excavation informs the reader about legal advisors or the parties in the suit to explain why the litigation arose in this particular way, manner, or form.

This edited collection explores the question of how those with limited capacity are enabled to take their part as members of society within the context of both a legal framework and the expectations of their family and community. The book is divided into three parts, firstly looking at the current legal position on incapacity in a number of jurisdictions. It discusses the recent European project FLEUR, and the associated debates developing around whether legislation dealing with incapacity should aim to support or control the vulnerable person. Secondly, the book looks at the experience of families with vulnerable members. Chapters examine developments in Australia, Spain, Bulgaria and Argentina, while part three looks at France, Turkey, Canada, the Netherlands, Poland and Ukraine. It asks questions such as: What are the contemporary demands for full financial protection by the state in the Netherlands? What can happen in an emergency? How did the Polish system provide for the needs of refugees in wartime, in the case of the recent flight from Ukraine into Poland? An important dimension is added to the debate, asking how we can provide support and control within a social network or group whose members have different aims and needs in a family or a community.

Maritime and Transport Law Library

Responsibility Accountability Maritime Law examines the phenomenon of criminalisation which confronts the Master in their professional conduct, both in terms of Flag State and Port State rights and obligations. The fault lines of criminalisation, which go to the heart of the question, demand an understanding of how the concept of criminal justice has evolved to impose accountability on the Master, in circumstances which had not been crimes before.Since this book was first published, the maritime world has changed dramatically, requiring a new understanding of responsibility and accountability before the Master can make rational decisions to respond to the risk of criminalisation. While the basic theory of accountability for criminalisation and the sources of law provide the foundation, this second edition presents a new introduction to summarise the necessity for changes in structure in order to define the pre-existing law with which the Master must comply, acknowledging the re-emergence of risk in the Gulf in 2026, and the foreseeable emergence of risk in the Arctic as geopolitical pressures create uncertainty as to who will assert jurisdictional control in the management of merchant shipping in this region. The Sources of Law chapter has been expanded to address risk management in the context of current geopolitical turmoil, balancing company commitments with the safety of the ship and crew. New content includes detention of Masters and crew, the International Convention on Arrest of Ships, universal jurisdiction, and relevant case studies such as the M/T Heroic Idun.The book's format meets the needs of lawyers, academics and maritime professionals, with the aim of analysing the character of criminalisation to determine the features which characterise the phenomenon in Port and Flag State contexts; it interrogates the aim to define the nature of criminalisation and identifies the constituent problems in such criminal accountability. Each chapter relies heavily on case studies to illustrate how the laws which reflect national policy underpinning those priorities are applied in practice. This structure enables an understanding of the problems in the criminal process, with a view to offering options for solutions.The book is directly relevant to a broad range of parties which includes lawyers, academics, P &amp; I clubs, seafarers, shipowners, managers and agents, and national and international seafaring unions.The current law and cases have been verified up to June 2026.

Business Ethics

Third Edition

Pharmaceutical Industry Antitrust Handbook

Today's boards need to create value--not just protect it.Boards have long carried the essential work of overseeing performance, managing risk, fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities, and ensuring that organizations remain on track. In a world of growing complexity and uncertainty, that foundation matters more than ever--but it is no longer enough.In Value-Creating Boards, Jill Ader and Pamela Warren, senior leaders at Egon Zehnder, argue that the most important governance work is understanding who directors must become, individually and collectively, to create value that endures. Rather than viewing the board simply as a governance mechanism, they show how it can become a powerful source of perspective, imagination, judgment, and collective intelligence to meet an organization's most consequential challenges.Achieving this requires boards to develop the human capabilities of the people around the table--and to recognize the board is a constellation of relationships, dynamics, and interdependencies. Drawing on decades of experience and work with thousands of board chairs, directors, and CEOs, Ader and Warren show how leaders can unlock energy and create healthy patterns in this system.Value-Creating Boards presents a practical four-part framework that enables boards to operate at a greater strategic altitude, create space for deeper thinking, challenge their own assumptions, and bring more of themselves and their collective wisdom to the work.The four practices--Catalyze, Align, Integrate, and Exchange--equip boards and their members with the tools to strengthen their roles; to connect purpose, vision, strategy, and values; and to improve the quality of dialogue between directors, chairs, CEOs, and management.Filled with candid stories from some of the world's most experienced board leaders, practical exercises, and ideas tested in real boardrooms, Value-Creating Boards will help boards move from asking Are we managing risk well? to something much more powerful: What becomes possible because this board is here?

Routledge Research in Human Rights Law

Business and Human Rights in Africa raises interesting questions about the legitimacy and long-term viability of the business and human rights agenda in Africa, and in developing countries more generally. It explores the key issues for business and human rights in Africa and asks how and to what extent are the UN Guiding Principles changing the law and policy in Africa or the behavior of businesses operating in the continent? The book examines both the international and regional legal and policy initiatives on business and human rights in Africa and how these initiatives are being implemented in selected countries.

One of the most significant debates in international human rights law and in international law generally in the 21st century is about the responsibility of businesses for human rights in their areas of influence. The last decade witnessed significant, arguably monumental, development in global norms pertaining to the human rights obligation of businesses. Of particular significance is the emergence of a distinct business and human rights agenda driven by two normative instruments: the 2008 Protect, Respect and Remedy: a Framework for Business and Human Rights and the 2011 UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.Business and Human Rights in Africa raises interesting questions about the legitimacy and long-term viability of the business and human rights agenda in Africa, and in developing countries more generally. It explores the key issues for business and human rights in Africa and asks how and to what extent are the UN Guiding Principles changing the law and policy in Africa or the behavior of businesses operating in the continent? The book examines both the international and regional legal and policy initiatives on business and human rights in Africa and how these initiatives are being implemented in selected countries. Focusing in part on the extractive industry it consider the industry standards and best practices as well as the challenges the industry still faces in order to avoid human rights abuses. The book examines and evaluates emerging practices designed to minimize, manage, or mitigate corporate impact on human rights in Africa. It looks at the role of national and regional courts in Africa in ensuring accountability of businesses in Africa as well as considering the possible role for alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in realizing accountability.

Business And Human Rights in Africa

For decades, American companies helped set the pace of LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion. That centre of leadership has become less dependable as political pressure, legal uncertainty and corporate caution reshape business. Far beyond this corporate reversal, queer people worldwide face hate speech, online abuse and physical violence. Yet the global response is not simply retreat.The Rainbow Momentum follows the people and organizations that keep change moving: business leaders, employees, investors and advocates, alongside specialized civil-society groups connecting companies and queer communities. Across Europe, Asia and elsewhere, including Canada, these actors work within different cultures, laws and markets - and different understandings of individual rights, social responsibility and community. They show how locally adapted inclusion can deepen belonging, earn trust, attract talent, foster innovation and build economic resilience. They create new centres of influence and power. Drawing on interviews and international research, Jens Schadendorf shows how progress continues to take root, survives disruption and travels in several directions. The book concludes with twelve principles for action. Its argument is realistic but hopeful: when LGBTQ+ people and their allies turn experience into institutions, share knowledge and connect local initiatives, leadership multiplies - and they continue to shape tomorrow's economy.
