Opracowanie stanowi pierwszy na rynku wydawniczym komentarz do ustawy o kontroli niektórych inwestycji. Zostało przygotowane przez zespół autorski mający unikatowe doświadczenie zarówno praktyczne, jak i naukowe w omawianej problematyce. Ustawa wprowadza nowe i daleko idące ograniczenia nie tylko przejęć spółek w zakresie jej zastosowania, ale również restrukturyzacji grup kapitałowych. Autorzy zwracają uwagę na kontekst międzynarodowy obowiązywania ustawy, w szczególności wynikający z członkostwa Polski w Unii Europejskiej i zawartych przez Rzeczpospolitą dwustronnych umów o ochronie inwestycji. Książka jest skierowana przede wszystkim do praktyków - adwokatów, radców prawnych, sędziów, pracowników administracji państwowej oraz spółek objętych uregulowaniami komentowanej ustawy, a także do pracowników naukowych specjalizujących się w prezentowanej tematyce.

Several international legal issues are related to the concept of legal personality, including the determination of international rights and duties of non-state actors and the legal capacities of transnational institutions. When addressing these issues, different understandings of legal personality are employed. These concepts consider different entities to be international persons, state different criteria for becoming one and attach different consequences to being one. In this book, Roland Portmann systematizes the different positions on international personality by spelling out the assumptions on which they rest and examining how they were substantiated in legal practice. He puts forward the argument that positions on international personality which strongly emphasize the role of states or effective actors rely on assumptions that have been discarded in present international law. The principal argument is that international law has to be conceived as an open system, wherein there is no presumption for or against certain entities enjoying international personality.

This book develops an analysis of the historical, political and legal contexts behind current demands by NGOs and the United Nations Human Rights Council to hold corporations accountable for their human rights violations. Based on an analysis of the range of mechanisms of accountability that currently exist, it argues that that those demands are a response to the failure of neo-liberal policies that have dominated the practice of politics and law since the emergence of this debate in its current form in the 1970s. Offering a new approach to understanding how struggles for hegemony are refracted through a range of legal challenges to corporate human rights violations, the book offers a fresh ...
What does well-being mean when we talk about men and women in the past? Their sheer chances of survival, their protection from want, their social status, their individual agency and their self-esteem were all strongly mediated by the family, the predominant social institution. Family laws and customs of family formation created differences between insiders and outsiders in terms of well-being. Within families, there were strong differences in autonomy, status and freedom between the genders and generations. The book offers a fascinating exploration of gender differences in well-being in many regions of historic Europe, with some comparative perspectives. It explores how historic family systems differed with respect to choosing a marriage partner, transmitting property, living and care conditions of widows and widowers and the position of children born out of wedlock.

This book considers the efficacy of transitional justice mechanisms in response to corporate human rights abuses. Corporations and other business enterprises often operate in countries affected by conflict or repressive regimes. As such, they may become involved in human rights violations and crimes under international law ‒ either as the main perpetrators or as accomplices by aiding and abetting government actors. Transitional justice mechanisms, such as trials, truth commissions, and reparations, have usually focused on abuses by state authorities or by non-state actors directly connected to the state, such as paramilitary groups. Innovative transitional justice mechanisms have, however,...
