The International Handbook of Social Enterprise Law
This open-access book brings together international experts who shed new light on the status of social enterprises, benefit corporations and other purpose-driven companies. The respective chapters take a multidisciplinary approach (combining law, philosophy, history, sociology and economics) and provide valuable insights on fostering social entrepreneurship and advancing the common good.

In an effort to target social problems at their roots, social entrepreneurs create organizations that bring transformative social changes by considering, among other...
International Handbook of Cooperative Law
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.

Control of Price Related Terms in Standard Form Contracts
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...
Grandes juristas
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.

The bo...
Interés en el cumplimiento del contrato y operación de reemplazo
La operación de reemplazo es una vía alternativa de satisfacción del interés del acreedor a través de un tercero, ante el incumplimiento del contrato. Con ella, el acredor, de manera razonable y extrajudicialmente, acude al mercado para sustituir la prestación del deudor. En consecuencia, el acreedor podrá reclamar al deudor la diferencia (desfavorable) entre el precio de la operación de reemplazo y el establecido en el contrato. Esta obra explora las posibilidades de aplicación de la operación de reemplazo en el Ordenamiento español, que la incorporó a partir de la entrada en vigor de la Convención de Viena sobre Compraventa Internacional de Mercaderías de 1980. Esta figura fu...
