Fashion law encompasses a wide variety of issues that concern an article of clothing or a fashion accessory, starting from the moment they are designed and following them through distribution and marketing phases, all the way until they reach the end-user. Contract law, intellectual property, company law, tax law, international trade, and customs law are of fundamental importance in defining this new field of law that is gradually taking shape. This volume focuses on the new frontiers of fashion law, taking into account the various fields that have recently emerged as being of great interest for the entire fashion world: from sustainable fashion to wearable technologies, from new remedies to...
This encyclopedia, edited by the past editors and founder of the Journal of Business Ethics, is the only reference work dedicated entirely to business and professional ethics. Containing over 2000 entries, this multi-volume, major research reference work provides a broad-based disciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to all of the key topics in the field. The encyclopedia draws on three interdisciplinary and over-lapping fields: business ethics, professional ethics and applied ethics although the main focus is on business ethics. The breadth of scope of this work draws upon the expertise of human and social scientists, as well as that of professionals and scientists in varying fields. This work has come to fruition by making use of the expert academic input from the extraordinarily rich population of current and past editorial board members and section editors of and contributors to the Journal of Business Ethics.
This comprehensive Handbook offers a thoughtful survey of contract theories, issues and cases in order to reassess the field's present vision of contract law. It engages a critical search for the fault lines which cross traditions of thought and globalized landscapes. Comparative Contract Law is built around four main groups of insights, including: the genealogies of contractual theoretical thinking; the contentious relationship between private governance and normative regulations; the competing styles used to stage contract law; and the concurring opinions expressed within the domain of other disciplines, such as literature and political theory. The chapters in the book tease out the tensions between a global context and local frameworks as well as the movable thresholds between canonical expressions and heterodox constructions.
Il volume ricostruisce, in maniera puntuale e scorrevole, il quadro giuridico del sistema delle comunicazioni, dalle origini fino ai più recenti sviluppi normativi, con numerosi accenni anche all’esperienza nordamericana. Il testo, diviso in trentaquattro capitoli, descrive i cambiamenti che hanno interessato, nel corso dei decenni, le varie tipologie di comunicazioni (telefonica, radiotelevisiva, postale, ecc.), e come il legislatore prima, e i regolatori poi, abbiano inteso governare tali cambiamenti. Un approfondimento particolare è dedicato al tema della “rivoluzione digitale” e al ruolo rivestito dall’AGCom e dalle altre Autorità (AGCM, Garante privacy), sia in ottica di sviluppo dei mercati che di tutela degli utenti dell’ecosistema digitale, tenendo presenti i recentissimi interventi legislativi, di matrice eurounitaria, in materia di servizi di media audiovisivi e di comunicazioni elettroniche. Infine, il testo affronta il tema dei risvolti giuridici legati all’utilizzo di sistemi di Intelligenza Artificiale, dando conto dei tentativi di regolamentazioni attualmente in corso a livello europeo.

This book considers the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the realisation of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Although efforts towards the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals are ongoing, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on these efforts: accentuating inequities, as well as absorbing resources. This book addresses this impact, as it takes up the question of how to ensure global recovery – in line with the target for the Sustainable Development Goals – after the pandemic. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, but focusing particularly on the role of law and legal frameworks in this recovery, the book considers the effect of the pandemic...
