Multinationals and the Constitutionalization of the World Power System
This collection offers a powerful and coherent study of the transformation of the multinational enterprise as both an object and subject of law within and beyond States. The study develops an analysis of the large firm as being a system of organization exercising vast powers through various instruments of private law, such as property rights, contracts and corporations. The volume focuses on the firm as the operational unit of governance within emerging systems of globalization, whilst exploring in-depth the forms within which the firm might be regulated as against the inhibiting parameters of national law. It connects, through the ordering concept of the firm in globalization, the distinct regimes of constitutionalization, national and international law. The study will be of interest to students and academics in globalization and the regulation of multinational corporations, as well as law, economics and politics on a global scale. It will also interest government leaders and NGOs working in the areas of MNE regulations.
Understanding the Ban on the Cumul Des Mandats
Taking up a mandate in a multinational company can be a challenging experience for trade union and workers' representatives in countries across Europe. And when it comes to board-level representation, the challenge becomes even greater. These difficulties have largely gone under the radar of policymakers at the EU level, but the case of France explored in this report illustrates well how board-level employee representation, as regulated by national law, can be of great relevance to the EU level and should be addressed by European trade union action.As in many other Member States, France's legal system grants employees the right to appoint one or two representatives to the boards of large com...
Property, Power and Politics
Globalization is an extraordinary phenomenon affecting virtually everything in our lives. And it is imperative that we understand the operation of economic power in a globalized world if we are to address the most challenging issues our world is facing today, from climate change to world hunger and poverty. This revolutionary work rethinks globalization as a power system feeding from, and in competition with, the state system. Cutting across disciplines of law, politics and economics, it explores how multinational enterprises morphed into world political organisations with global reach and power, but without the corresponding responsibilities. In illuminating how the concentration of property rights within corporations has led to the rejection of democracy as an ineffective system of government and to the rise in inequality, Robé offers a clear pathway to a fairer and more sustainable power system.

European Constitutional Imaginaries
How can the EU be made legitimate and sustainable through (constitutional) law - and what is the role of constitutional lawyers and their ideas in creating this "sense of legitimacy"? This book seeks to answer these questions through the concept of the "constitutional imaginary": sets of ideas and beliefs that motivate and justify the practice of government and collective self-rule. Constitutional imaginaries are as important as institutions and office- holders, as they provide political action with an overarching sense and purpose recognized as legitimate by those governed. Constitutional imaginaries are 'necessary fictions' that make political rule possible, and at the same time they are i...
L'Entreprise
L'entreprise est au cœur d'un paradoxe qui apparaît aujourd'hui avec force. Attendue pour développer l'emploi, créer des richesses, participer au développement des territoires, elle est perçue dans le même temps comme un facteur de risques économiques, sociaux et écologiques majeurs. À travers ce paradoxe, ce sont les représentations de l'entreprise qui ne laissent pas d'interroger. La réduction de l'entreprise à un dispositif financier ordonné à la valeur actionnariale n'a en effet été possible qu'en raison d'une construction scientifique défaillante, sinon inexistante, de l'entreprise. Ce constat conduit à l'hypothèse fondatrice du présent ouvrage : l'entreprise est restée, jusqu'à très récemment, un point aveugle des sciences sociales. L'ouvrage propose de revisiter les rapports des sciences sociales à l'entreprise. Il met en lumière, à travers ses différentes contributions, de nouvelles façons de penser l'entreprise et sa gouvernance.
