Legal design has been with us for over a decade. Its core idea, i.e. to use design methods to make the world of law accessible to all, has been widely embraced by academics, researchers, and professionals. Over time, the field has grown, expanding its initial problem-solving approach to other dimensions of design, such as speculative design, design fiction, proactive law, and disciplines like cognitive science and philosophy. The book presents a state-of-the-art reflection on legal design evolution and applications. It features twelve insightful contributions discussed during the 2023 'Legal Design Roundtable' on 'Design(s) for Law', organised within the Erasmus+ Jean Monnet clinic on 'EU Digital Rights, Law, and Design'. These perspectives from academics and professionals add important nuances to the literature, either presenting new approaches, applying consolidated practices to new contexts and areas, or showcasing actual and potential applications. Ideal for academics, legal professionals, and students, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in new critical approaches to the law and in the creative construction of fairer and more human-friendly legal systems.
Presenting new findings and perspectives from leading international scholars on three critical areas of developing government policies: Digital markets and their regulation, the divergence of expert and public views on European democracy, and the effects of firing notification procedures on wage growth.
On 22 to 28 July 2018 the International Academy of Comparative Law organized its 20th General Congress in Fukuoka Japan. The General Congresses of the Academy are held every four years and address from a comparative perspective a multitude of topics that appear particularly relevant in our contemporary society. This book gathers a selection of the general contributions to the 20th General Congress dealing with current issues in Comparative Law. This is a premiere for the Academy. It seemed important for the Executive Committee to have access to the general contributions offered during the General Congress which certainly deserve the same attention as the General Reports. Du 22 au 28 juillet ...
This book offers a comparative perspective on 18 countries’ legal regulation of crowdfunding. In the wake of the financial crises of 2008, use of this alternative financing method has increased substantially, in various forms. Whereas some states have adopted tailor-made regimes in order to regulate but also encourage this way of financing projects, allowing loans to be made by non-banking institutions, others still haven’t specifically addressed the subject. An analysis of these diverse legislative stances offers readers a range of legal solutions for managing crowdfunding activities with regard to e.g. protecting investors, imposing limits on project owners, and finally the role and duties of intermediaries, i.e., companies operating crowdfunding platforms. In addition, the content presented here provides a legal basis for states and supranational organizations interested in regulating this phenomenon to achieve more legal certainty.
This open access book considers the development of the sharing and collaborative economy with a European focus, mapping across economic sectors, and country-specific case studies. It looks at the roles the sharing economy plays in sharing and redistribution of goods and services across the population in order to maximise their functionality, monetary exchange, and other aspects important to societies. It also looks at the place of the sharing economy among various policies and how the contexts of public policies, legislation, digital platforms, and other infrastructure interrelate with the development and function of the sharing economy. The book will help in understanding the future (sharin...

Platform work – the matching of the supply of and demand for paid labour through an online platform – often depends on workers who operate in a “grey area” between the archetype of an employee and a self-employed worker. This important book explores the utility of the International Labour Organization’s existing standards in governing this phenomenon. It indicates that despite their relevance, many standards have little or no impact. The standards apply to the issue but they fail to connect with it. The author shows how three ILO conventions – the Home Work Convention, 1996 (No. 177), the Private Employment Agencies Convention, 1997 (No. 181), and the Domestic Workers Convention,...
Après l’immigré OS à vie et l’épicier maghrébin, le chauffeur Uber racisé se présente comme une nouvelle figure du système d’emploi. Si le déploiement des plateformes numériques marque l’avènement de formes renouvelées, voire exacerbées d’exploitation, il s’inscrit dans un capitalisme racial de plateforme reposant sur celle d’hommes racisés. L’enquête inédite menée auprès d’une centaine de chauffeurs Uber à Paris, Londres et Montréal est l’occasion d’aller à la rencontre de cette figure emblématique de l’« ubérisation » pour décrire la réalité de leur quotidien de travail. Entrés dans le métier pour améliorer leur condition, ces travaill...
Robots y personas es una monografía que toma como punto de partida una exposición básica sobre la Inteligencia Artificial y sus presupuestos, así como las elaboraciones en las instituciones europeas sobre este fenómeno, para estudiar la entidad de los sistemas robóticos inteligentes y sus repercusiones en el mundo del Derecho. Con esta finalidad, el estudio se ocupa de los poco afortunados intentos de crear una personalidad electrónica para robots, poniendo de relieve lo que de mero recurso de utilidad tiene esta solución, y proponiendo un examen de la subjetividad de la Inteligencia artificial desligado de la conciencia, la libertad y la voluntad, como cualidades exclusivamente huma...
