This book analyzes the legal system for the protection of retail investors under the European Union law of investment services. It identifies the regulatory leitmotiv driving the EU lawmaker and ascertains whether and to what extent such a system is self-sufficient, using a set of EU-made and EU-enforced rules that is essentially different and autonomous from the domestic legal orders. In this regard, the book takes a double perspective: comparative and intra-firm. Given the federal dimension of the US legal system and, thus, the “role-model” it plays vis-à-vis the EU, the book compares the two systems. To fully highlight the existing gaps and measure how self-sufficient the EU system i...

This book brings together experts from different fields and with different jurisdictional focuses to provide fresh ideas and deep insights into crypto regulation. Cryptoassets engage many different areas of law, with their own specific terminologies, uncertainties, and regulatory fragmentation. Unsurprisingly, then, crypto has faced calls for new laws, for reform of existing laws, and in some instances outright banning. Against this backdrop, this collection explores different aspects of crypto regulation, with reference to current developments, such as the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, and technological innovations, including central bank digital currencies, smart contracts, and non-fungible tokens. Market, user and law-/policy-maker perspectives are examined to explore not only innovation and opportunities, but also regulatory and policy challenges. This volume will be a key resource for scholars and practitioners of law, finance, public policy, criminology and economics. It was originally published as a special issue of Law and Financial Markets Review.
Oggi è diffusa la consapevolezza che l’Umanità e il Pianeta Terra siano vicini ad un tipping point – un ‘punto di non ritorno’ – all’interno di una fase di critical transition, cioè di bruschi cambiamenti che sono l’esito di crisi congiunte: pandemica, sanitaria, climatica, energetica. Ciò è dovuto all’esistenza di un mondo iperconnesso, dove evolvono strutture interattive globali e feedback cumulativi. Ne consegue un incremento della complessità sistemica a ogni livello, quindi incertezza e instabilità con cui devono misurarsi i processi decisionali di tutti gli attori. È dunque necessario delineare nuovi strumenti di analisi strategica e progettazione operativa: a tal fine, il presente volume intende fornire uno schema teorico-strategico e suggerire sia un’architettura operativa sia meccanismi per valutare l’efficacia delle scelte di medio-lungo periodo.
Nel 1865 furono emanate le leggi di unificazione amministrativa del Regno d’Italia. In occasione del centocinquantenario, il Dipartimento di Scienze Giuridiche dell’Università di Firenze ha organizzato un progetto di studi sulle trasformazioni che nell’ultimo cinquantennio hanno interessato gli apparati e le attività dell’amministrazione della Repubblica, vista nel suo articolato governo locale e nella sua appartenenza all’Unione europea. Le ricerche hanno coinvolto, nell’arco di quasi due anni, più di centocinquanta studiosi di Università italiane. I risultati sono stati presentati il 15 e 16 ottobre del 2015 a Firenze, la città che centocinquant’anni prima era stata Capi...
In this book, legal scholars from the EU Member States (with the addition of the UK) analyse the development of the EU Member States' attitudes to economic, fiscal, and monetary integration since the Treaty of Maastricht. The Eurozone crisis corroborated the warnings of economists that weak economic policy coordination and loose fiscal oversight would be insufficient to stabilise the monetary union. The country studies in this book investigate the legal, and in particular the constitutional, pre-conditions for deeper fiscal and monetary integration that influenced the past and might impact on the future positions in the (now) 27 EU Member States. The individual country studies address the fo...
