The main trend is the development from a colonial situation in 1900 with a state owned company runnig nearly all business to an open economy with steadily growing self-government for Greenland short of full independence.

This book presents the very first, interdisciplinarily grounded, comprehensive appraisal of a future “Common European Law on Investment Screening”. Thereby, it provides a foundation for a European administrative law framework for investment screening by setting out viable solutions and evaluating their pros and cons. Daimler, the harbour terminal in Zeebrugge, or Saxo Bank are only three recent examples of controversially discussed company takeovers in Europe. The “elephant in the room” is China and its “Belt and Road Initiative”. The political will in Europe is growing to more actively control investments flowing into the EU. The current regulatory initiatives raise several fund...
This book covers recent advances in efficiency evaluations, most notably Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) methods. It introduces the underlying theories, shows how to make the relevant calculations and discusses applications. The aim is to make the reader aware of the pros and cons of the different methods and to show how to use these methods in both standard and non-standard cases. Several software packages have been developed to solve some of the most common DEA and SFA models. This book relies on R, a free, open source software environment for statistical computing and graphics. This enables the reader to solve not only standard problems, but also man...
1853. Il giovane pittore Lars Hertervig, allievo all’Accademia di Belle Arti di Düsseldorf, è un’anima irrequieta, divisa tra l’insicurezza verso il suo talento e l’amore per Helene Winckelmann, la figlia della sua padrona di casa. L’ossessione di Lars per Helene, accesa da furiosi deliri sessuali, diventa così strabordante da costringere la famiglia della ragazza ad allontanarlo dalla stanza in cui alloggia. Senza più un posto dove andare, Hertervig passa il tempo in un locale, tra gli scherni dei suoi raffinati compagni di corso, mentre fa la posta all’appartamento dei Winckelmann dove cerca disperatamente di essere riammesso. Un limbo che, inesorabilmente, lo conduce alla ...

Examining a range of perspectives on the balanced budget rule as a legal principle, a series of chapters investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of the balanced budget rule. The book considers the impact this may have on the separation of powers within the state, on democratic decision-making, on the European social model an...
