The degree of development reached by cooperatives of different sectors throughout the world, which among others led to the UN declaring 2012 as the International Year of Cooperatives, needs to be accompanied by a similar development of corresponding legislation. To this end, a better knowledge of cooperative law from the comparative point of view, as has already been established for other types of enterprises, becomes of great importance. This book strives to fill this gap, and is divided into four parts. The first part offers an analytic and conceptual framework with which to understand, study and assess cooperative law from a transnational and comparative perspective. The second part includes several chapters dealing with attempts to harmonize cooperative laws. The third part contains an overview of more than 30 national cooperative laws, while the last part summarizes and compares these national cooperative laws, thus laying the foundation for a comparative cooperative law doctrine.

European Company Law Series, Volume 19 Compelling new perspectives on corporate governance – including attention to increased shareholder engagement, long-term value creation, and sustainability – have given rise to major changes in the management of companies. Yet, until this book, there has been no systematic account of the legislative and soft law instruments designed to promote good corporate governance practices across the range of sizes and types of companies. The book analyses the various instruments that legislators and others have used to promote good corporate governance in European companies and assesses their value in practice. Nineteen well-known scholars of business and cor...
This book explores various approaches around the world regarding price term control, and particularly discusses the effectiveness of two major paths: ex ante regulatory and ex post judicial intervention. Price control and its limits are issues that affect all liberal market economies, as well as more regulated markets. For the past several years, courts in many different countries have been confronted with the issue of whether, and to what extent, they should intervene regarding price-related terms in standard form contracts – especially in the area of consumer contracts. Open price clauses, flat remunerations, price adjustment clauses, clauses giving the seller/supplier the right to ask f...
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) turned 40 in 2020 and experts around the world didn’t miss the celebrations. This book collects twenty-five studies in tribute to the CISG for its 40 anniversary, written by experts from Europe, America and Asia, with different focus of analysis. The goal of “The transnational sales contract. 40 years influence of the CISG on national jurisdictions” is to present what we have learned from the CISG during this time of born, development and consolidation. The book aims at navigating through the influence of the CISG in different jurisdictions, thus revealing the creation and existence of a truly autonomous and transnational contract law of worldwide application.
El derecho, como fenómeno social, no está constituido únicamente por la ley. El derecho se nos presenta en cuatro dimensiones: las normas, de las que deriva el «derecho normativo o legal»; el hecho jurídico, del que se deriva la costumbre, de los que se desprende el «derecho vivido»; la jurisprudencia, que emana de las sentencias emitidas por los jueces, y, por último, la doctrina, dedicada a la construcción de disciplinas especializadas y a la elaboración de escritos académicos, manuales y tratados. Es en medio de esta última fuente en donde aparecen los juristas, pues son los autores de los libros de doctrina. Dentro de esta obra tendremos la posibilidad de distinguir los distintos roles que cumplen aquellos técnicos formados en las ciencias del derecho que llamamos juristas. La estructura del libro consta de una presentación; una breve reseña sobre el contenido del libro; veinticuatro capítulos que contienen los textos escritos por especialistas, referentes a los juristas en estudio; y al final, se ofrece una breve biografía de cada jurista.

La presente obra, persigue efectuar una contribución a la manera en que el derecho de los contratos es estudiado en las universidades chilenas y aplicado en la práctica diaria, recurriendo para ello al análisis de diversos fallos dictados por nuestros tribunales superiores de justicia. Este punto de partida no es causal, pues los directores coinciden en que un correcto entendimiento de la manera en que funciona nuestro sistema de derecho privado no puede quedar limitado a un análisis de las reglas legales, puesto que, el estudio de la jurisprudencia resulta esencial a fin de comprender la manera en que el derecho es aplicado, cobrando vida, por lo que no es posible un divorcio entre la p...
