This book addresses the regulation of the State/Enterprise relationship in the framework of international economic context. It analyzes this relationship from the discrete perspectives of conflict, cooperation, and integration in contributions by authors representing a diverse range of legal cultures and political backgrounds. The topic is investigated following three approaches: • State versus Enterprise (the State which bans, restricts, or regulates the activities of Enterprises, both domestic and foreign);• Enterprise versus State (the Enterprises, main actors of commercial, industrial or financial initiatives, which may directly or indirectly affect the legal and economic structure of the State);• State as Enterprise and Enterprise as State (public Enterprises under political control that pursue geopolitical goals, and Enterprises that rely on the political, financial, and strategic support of the State for their business expansion). Furthermore, the volume includes a special focus on the relationship State/Enterprise in non-capitalist economies (China, Russia, and Cuba).
On 8 October 2004, the Council Regulation (EC) No. 2157/2001 on the Statute for the European Company (SE) will enter into force. In order to make the SE a functional instrument for entrepreneurs and investors, as well as to ensure the effective application of European law, it is necessary to pass national implementation measures by then. National legislators have the opportunity as well as the challenge to shape, in some respect, a national model of the SE which would be attractive for investors and would influence their decision as to where the company be located. Thus, the coming into force of the SE-Regulation will also give "the starting shot" for the competition between national legisla...

Whether the corporate form is used to avoid liabilities or cover illegal acts, or whether abuse is practised to obtain certain advantages, the subject of this first-ever in-depth survey and analysis garners more attention every day – both in legal literature and in popular media. Taken together, the authoritative contributions in this book clearly and comprehensively reveal typical situations where abuse may take place and how company law and other areas of law have tackled these incidents and practices in a variety of key jurisdictions. Focusing on Europe but with global implications, the topics raised include the following: how group structures may be used by multinational enterprises to...
I primi due decenni di questo secolo sono stati fortemente segnati da emergenze di ogni tipo: terrorismo, crisi finanziaria, disastri naturali, migrazioni, cambiamenti climatici, infine la pandemia di Covid,19. Come conseguenza della globalizzazione e della geopolitica globale, gli effetti di queste emergenze sono aumentati, richiedendo interventi a diversi livelli, anche sul piano giuridico. Allo stesso tempo, questa tensione globale è spesso messa in discussione da un approccio più locale alle questioni economiche e sociali. Il presente volume raccoglie gli atti del XXVI Convegno biennale dell'Associazione italiana di diritto comparato, dedicato alla indagine sulle conseguenze di tali emergenze per il diritto comparato. Può ragionevolmente discorrersi di un “diritto comparato delle emergenze”? Se le emergenze sono diventante caratteristica strutturale del nostro mondo globalizzato, dovranno i giuristi , tradizionalmente “inseguitori” dei fenomeni sociali , adattare il proprio approccio e adeguarsi al costante mutamento dei contesti giuridici?

Uno dei fenomeni emergenti nelle società contemporanee è l’offuscamento dei confini tra la dimensione “pubblica” e quella “privata”. La trasformazione digitale è tra i motori di tale processo, insieme all’evoluzione delle relazioni economiche e sociali, in un contesto caratterizzato da crescenti scambi e contaminazioni culturali, nonché da emergenze ambientali e sociali. La privatizzazione di aspetti tradizionalmente attribuiti al potere dello Stato, insieme alla caratterizzazione sempre più in chiave pubblicistica di relazioni precedentemente considerate di pertinenza della sfera privata, mettono in discussione molti campi del sapere, tra cui quello del diritto. Le (un tempo) rassicuranti categorie giuridiche tradizionali risultano profondamente coinvolte da tale processo. In particolare, la distinzione tra diritto pubblico e diritto privato è oggi sempre più sottoposta a tensioni e rivela la propria inadeguatezza ove si vogliano leggere in modo corretto le implicazioni giuridiche dei nuovi fenomeni sociali.

This fully revised and updated second edition of The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Law provides a wide-ranging and diverse critical survey of comparative law at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It summarizes and evaluates a discipline that is time-honoured but not easily understood in all its dimensions. In the current era of globalization, this discipline is more relevant than ever, both on the academic and on the practical level. The Handbook is divided into three main sections. Section I surveys how comparative law has developed and where it stands today in various parts of the world. This includes not only traditional model jurisdictions, such as France, Germany, and the Unite...
Globalization has led to growing labour fragmentation and widening of gaps in social protection. Although the enterprise is increasingly expected to be socially responsible, in actuality extreme worker inequalities and social dumping have become ubiquitous worldwide. This volume – the first to focus attention on the ‘theory of the firm’ as it reveals itself in today’s world from a multidisciplinary perspective – underscores the necessity to rebuild a new scientifically controlled paradigm that acknowledges and regulates the dimension of power in the functioning of the organization. In their contributed essays, nineteen renowned scholars in labour law and industrial relations rethin...
