The Civic Foundations of Fascism in Europe
A historical look at the emergence of fascism in Europe Drawing on a Gramscian theoretical perspective and development a systematic comparative approach, The Civic Foundations of Fascism in Europe: Italy, Spain and Romania 1870-1945 challenges the received Tocquevillian consensus on authoritarianism by arguing that fascist regimes, just like mass democracies, depended on well-organized, rather than weak and atomized, civil societies. In making this argument the book focuses on three crucial cases of inter-war authoritarianism: Italy, Spain and Romania, selected because they are all counter-intuitive from the perspective of established explanations, while usefully demonstrating the range of fascist outcomes in interwar Europe. Civic Foundations argues that, in all three cases, fascism emerged because the rapid development of voluntary associations combined with weakly developed political parties among the dominant class thus creating a crisis of hegemony. Riley then traces the specific form that this crisis took depending on the form of civil society development (autonomous- as in Italy, elite dominated as in Spain, or state dominated as in Romania) in the nineteenth century.

A Global History of Consumer Co-operation since 1850
With contributions from over 30 scholars, A Global History of Consumer Co-operation surveys the origins and development of the consumer co-operative movement from the mid-nineteenth century until the present day.

Accent Matters
The accentual systems of the Baltic and Slavic languages continue to intrigue scholars of general and historical linguistics. They play an important role in the reconstruction of the linguistic ancestor of Baltic and Slavic, but also in the typological study of accentual systems. This volume contains contributions related to the accentology of the Baltic and Slavic languages by leading scholars in the field. They discuss the accentual systems that are attested in Baltic and Slavic dialects and texts, and the historical developments that led to these systems. The volume further contains contributions on similar accentual systems and developments in other languages, such as Abkhaz and the Mordvinian languages. A number of papers also deal with the role of the Balto-Slavic accents in the reconstruction of Proto-Indo-European. The volume reflects the progress that has been made in the field of Baltic and Slavic accentuation during the last decades. It forms a major source for anyone interested in the latest developments and insights in the study of accentuation.
La società cooperativa
L’opera offre agli studiosi e agli operatori del settore un quadro esaustivo della realtà cooperativa non necessariamente limitato al solo aspetto normativo. Il volume si compone di tre parti distinte ancorchè collegate fra di loro. La prima cerca di offrire al lettore una chiave interpretativa del fatto cooperativo, non solo limitata all’esperienza italiana, attraverso la ricostruzione del dibattito storico, economico e giuridico che ha riguardato dalle origini fino ai giorni nostri l’identità e il ruolo dell’istituto. La seconda parte, anche sulla base degli esiti dell’indagine precedente, offre un quadro il più possibile aggiornato della legislazione cooperativa italiana e dell’interpretazione delle norme alla luce degli esiti giurisprudenziali, dottrinali e degli orientamenti comunitari. La terza ed ultima parte completa il quadro precedente soffermandosi su alcuni tipi particolarmente significativi di società cooperative quali le banche di credito cooperativo, le cooperative finanziarie, le cooperative di lavoro e di consumo, le cooperative di abitazione.
Della amministrazione della società per azioni
Il volume si propone di evidenziare in ordine sistematico le novità legislative, giurisprudenziali e dottrinarie più rilevanti in materia di Amministrazione delle Società per Azioni, con particolare riguardo agli aspetti fisiologici del funzionamento degli organi, nonché agli ampi e variegati temi delle responsabilità connesse ai poteri degli amministratori. La complessa materia societaria è in continua evoluzione, tanto da richiedere un confronto costante tra le esperienze, i dati e le casistiche, senza tralasciare il codice. Il testo di ogni articolo è preceduto da un sommario, nel quale si anticipano al lettore gli argomenti più significativi, in conformità allo spirito che deve animare un Commentario breve. Completa l’opera un nutrito ed analitico indice bibliografico.
Research Handbook on Executive Pay
Research on executive compensation has exploded in recent years, and this volume of specially commissioned essays brings the reader up-to-date on all of the latest developments in the field. Leading corporate governance scholars from a range of countries set out their views on four main areas of executive compensation: the history and theory of executive compensation, the structure of executive pay, corporate governance and executive compensation, and international perspectives on executive pay. The authors analyze the two dominant theoretical approaches – managerial power theory and optimal contracting theory – and examine their impact on executive pay levels and the practices of concentrated and dispersed share ownership in corporations. The effectiveness of government regulation of executive pay and international executive pay practices in Australia, the US, Europe, China, India and Japan are also discussed. A timely study of a controversial topic, the Handbook will be an essential resource for students, scholars and practitioners of law, finance, business and accounting.
Krisen des fallimento
Eine erfolgreiche Reform fuhrt, wie schon Skedl feststellt, uber den sicheren, festen Boden des historischen Werdegangs des Rechts. Der im Schatten der Richtlinie uber Restrukturierung und Insolvenz entstandene codice della crisi d'impresa e dell'insolvenza von 2019 bietet vor diesem Hintergrund die Moglichkeit, Brucken zwischen vergangenem, gegenwartigem und kunftigem Recht zu schlagen. Johannes Heck beleuchtet die Entwicklungsstufen des jungeren italienischen diritto fallimentare ausgehend von der franzosischen Tradition im codice di commercio mit einem bedeutenden belgischen Einfluss. Er erkennt eine bislang unerforschte Rezeption deutscher und osterreichischer Denkkonzepte zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts und wirft so ein neues Licht auf die historische Realitat der legge fallimentare. Auf dieser Grundlage ordnet er schliesslich die Stromungen zur Jahrtausendwende und der anschliessenden langen Reformjahre ein.
