Speculation is rife on the origins of the worldwide financial crisis of 2008, with a preponderance focusing on alleged shortcomings in corporate governance. This book offers a distinct yet complementary perspective: that the most useful path to follow, if we want to understand what happened and forestall its happening again, is through an analysis of contract relationships - specifically, banking contracts entered into in the financial services sector, considered under the rubric of contract law rather than company law. Because banking is the area of European contract law which is most thoroughly developed, banking contracts can be seen as paradigmatic of typical assumptions and shortcomings...

Este libro aborda temas que giran alrededor de las obligaciones y contratos y explica algunas de las vicisitudes de la construcción europea en ese ámbito. El libro examina críticamente algunos de los problemas de la armonización del derecho privado y analiza los contenidos de unas cuantas normas especialmente relevantes en el ámbito del derecho contractual de los consumidores, como la compraventa o el contrato de crédito (al consumo, inmobiliario). También incluye un análisis del soft law o “derecho blando”, particularmente en torno a los efectos de la prescripción y el régimen jurídico del contrato de servicios. Por supuesto, trata también del impacto de esas normas vinculantes y no vinculantes en los derechos nacionales.

This book is a compilation of proceedings of two conferences on the United Nations Convention on the Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). The first conference was held at the Istanbul Bilgi University (Turkey) and the second conference on the occasion of the Arbitrators and Mediators Institute of New Zealand meeting in Wellington, New Zealand. Both conferences aimed to provide a better understanding of the CISG, as well as the importance of international dispute resolution. The book allows all readers who are new to the CISG to gain an understanding of the CISG, including its relationship to arbitration. Contributions cover, inter alia, the applicability of the CISG, interpretation and gap filling under the CISG, and the delivery of goods under the CISG. Those who are more familiar with the CISG will find some thought provoking contributions that explore some of the pertinent CISG issues, like interest claims under the CISG, the calculation of damages, and specific performance.

English summary: The dowry (in Islamic law mahr) is a key figure of classical Islamic marriage law, which was adopted in all Islamic countries. Nadjma Yassari investigates the basis of this legal institution, traces its historical development and contextualized it in the family estate law of Egypt, Iran, Pakistan and Tunisia. Although the legal connections between spouses have been steadily cultivated, the appeal of marriage law is fairly weak: the solidarity of newlyweds has hardly had time to be firmly established; important social pecuniary exchanges have not occurred. The dowry, therefore, still plays an important role in closing of any existing gaps in payment. This insight forms in con...
