Distressed debt trading - jared ellias - ebook (9789054549581)

Eleven international publishing

This book contains the four reports (preadviezen) presented at the 2019 NACIIL annual meeting on 'Distressed debt trading: brave new EU legal rules in relation to bold new strategies'. It is easy to be critical of distressed debt investors and the practice of acquiring debt at a discount and subsequently making a profit. On the other hand, distressed debt investors provide a relatively easy and quick way out for non-professional and professional creditors alike. Curbing the rights of distressed traders would therefor also indirectly curb the rights of original creditors. Furthermore, the European Union views distressed debt trading as a way of dealing with excessive Non-Performing Loans (NPL). Whatever your take is on the practice of distressed debt trading, it is here to stay and is likely to influence European insolvency practice in ways similar to US and even more so as a result of COVID-19. The Private International Law developments in this field are set out and reflected upon by dr. Lilian Welling-Steffens. She makes a strong case for easier, more predictable International Private Law rules as to the transfer of claims. Prof. J.A. Ellias analyzes the US developments and how distressed debt trading has transformed US bankruptcy practice under Chapter 11. In his report he integrates the actual development of claims trading in numbers over the years and identifies risks and opportunities of claims trading. Dr. S.W. van den Berg applies a comparative law perspective, comparing Dutch and American law and legal practice. He carefully builds up to his conclusion that the preparation of enforcement procedures and especially the market testing, or the M&A process upfront, has not been given the required attention. Prof. T. Florstedt provides valuable insights on how German insolvency law and practice has tried to come to terms with claims trading.

Confidentiality, secrecy and privilege in corporate insolvency and bank resolution - bob wessels, shuai guo - ebook (9789059317949)

Eleven international publishing

This book examines confidentiality, secrecy and privilege issues in insolvency proceedings for corporates and banks. It attempts to fill the gap that the authors have identified. Bankruptcy and insolvency legal research, in particular, seem to lack clear definitions, incomplete laws and cases with respect to the application of these three themes in corporate insolvency and bank resolution proceedings. Moreover, there are still inconsistent views and opinions of judicial authorities across different jurisdictions about these topics. The study deliberately has a focused aim by arranging a unique collection of rules and court cases, approached from different perspectives of relevant stakeholders. It provides a mapping exercise with sources and commentary aimed at practitioners and scholars of insolvency law, which will come to more light and depth in legal environments that in themselves present a legal framework. Also, this book will serve as a preliminary research for additional research projects and other publications.

The ghetto workers law - avraham weber - ebook (9789059318595)

Eleven international publishing

Under the Nazi regime, tens of thousands of Jews lived in ghettos, working more or less normal jobs. Some of these ghettos had their own employment centers, and some employers even paid into retirements funds. Legislation known as "German Pensions for Work in Ghettos," or by its German acronym, ZRBG (Gesetz zur Zahlbarmachung von Renten aus Beschäftigungen in einem Ghetto) was passed in 2002 to grant pensions to some of these former laborers. But more than ten years after its passage, its implementation was still subject to considerable conflict, mainly until the ZRBG-ÄndG (the Ghetto pension reform law) from August 2014 came into life, allowing fundamental jurisprudence to be incorporated in the form of legislation. For many years, former laborers in Nazi ghettos have been fighting to get the pension that this law ostensibly guarantees them, but the vast majority of their applications have been rejected. Since 2002, around 70,000 survivors have invoked the ZRBG. However, over ninety percent of these applications were initially rejected by German authorities for various legal and practical reasons. This book is an attempt to summarize the major steps in the implementation of the law. It begins with an overview of the historical background, and then will shift focus to the judicial, diplomatic, political, and practical problems with the implementation of the ZRBG.

Growing the cisg - ebook (9789059318632)

Eleven international publishing

This book contemplates the means by which the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) might continue to grow in terms of its content and reach into the future. It considers the opportunities, challenges and problems in expanding the CISG into new geographic and conceptual areas of application, as well as deepening its existing fields of application. In relation to future geographical expansion, chapters explore the positions in the United Kingdom, which is yet to join the CISG, as well as the situations in newcomers to the CISG, Brazil and Vietnam, and the special challenges in Hong Kong and the Philippines. Also covered are special directions in which the content of the CISG'ss substantive reach might be expanded or further developed. Various chapters discuss the extent to which the CISG should - or should not - potentially deal with issues relating to commodity sales, conformity to public regulations relating to product standards, and limitation periods. This volume is sure to provide food for thought for anyone advising on or interested in international commercial transactions, and is a valuable addition to the collections of academics and practitioners alike.

Ostrageous: how greed and crime erode professional football and we all look the other way - hans nelen - ebook (9789400111592)

Eleven international publishing

This book is the result of an analysis and reflection on crime risks and financial criminal activity taking place in European professional football in recent decades. Its main goal is to discuss some relevant criminological issues in relation to the financing and ownership of professional football clubs and the transfer of players. As the title suggests, the book covers both the outrageous business patterns and habits - and the associated high risk of financial crime - that have manifested themselves in this line of industry, as well as our inclination to turn a blind eye to these developments (like an ostrich with its head in the sand). Curiosity was the main instigator of this book, in terms of identifying the major problems and criminal activity in the professional football industry, grasping the motivations of those involved and understanding the societal reaction, or lack thereof, towards these problems. In the second part of the book, the author suggests some strategies that may assist in making the market of European professional football more crime-resistant. These strategies are linked to changes in the organizational culture, structure and forms of supervision and control.

Foreign takeover bids in china and the netherlands - d. du - ebook (9789059317895)

Eleven international publishing

Foreign takeovers have triggered increasing vigilance of the host governments, as foreign ownership is likely to be deemed as a potential threat to local employment, strategic assets, economic network, high-tech competitiveness, and national security. Consequently, various countries have imposed different degrees of restriction on foreign investors. The disparity that lies in the national rules regarding foreign takeovers implies that while companies in some countries are well shielded against foreign buyers, the policy toolkits available to protect local companies are likely to remain empty in other countries. Hence, recent years have witnessed an escalating call for a more reciprocal environment for cross-border takeovers. Against this background, this book aims to investigate how national legislative designs react to the foreign takeover-related concerns in China and the Netherlands and accordingly propose several recommendations that may contribute to promoting a level playing field. As a timely refection upon the increasingly protectionist national markets, this book will be interesting and inspiring for practitioners, academics, and policymakers in China, the EU and even beyond.

Regulating the city: contemporary urban housing law - ebook (9789059318779)

Eleven international publishing

In Regulating the City: Contemporary Urban Housing Law the authors seek to address a range of issues that focus largely on the question of housing in an urban context. It is in the urban context that the challenge of contemporary housing law and policy is at its most acute with issues of supply, regulation, density and the like at the forefront of the debate. Housing law is one of the most important and vibrant areas of law. Its importance is rooted in the fundamental value of the home, but its significance ranges far wider encompassing issues such as human rights, anti-social behaviour, property law, planning, contract, regulation, economics and public policy. In contrast to previous research, this book does not solely focus on doctrinal analysis of the law, but combines insights from socio-legal studies, human rights research and comparative legal analysis. In addition, it provides the reader with an international comparative perspective by including chapters about housing law in non-English speaking countries. This book is the first volume in a new series that seeks to examine the many faces of housing law from a variety of academic and professional perspectives.

Being consequential about restorative justice - lode walgrave - ebook (9789051891645)

Eleven international publishing

In this anthology, Professor Emeritus Lode Walgrave, a pioneer in the field of juvenile justice and restorative justice, revisits a selection of his publications, going back to the late 1990s to the late 2010s, on restorative justice as a response to offending. These include reflections on why restorative justice is valuable as well as on how it can and should be implemented. Can reparation be imposed and how would that relate to retribution? Is there room for punishment? The broader field is explored by examining how restorative justice contributes to civilising criminal justice and to a 'criminology of trust', all based on his socio-ethical concept of 'common self-interest'. In newly written introductory and concluding chapters, Walgrave explains how this journey in writing resulted in developing a consequential approach to restorative justice, which prioritises restorative responses to crime and delinquency.

Legitimate by nature? - claire m.h. boost - ebook (9789051892024)

Eleven international publishing

International crimes cause widespread victimisation and destruction, leading to social disruption that may take generations to repair. Over the years, the international community has established international courts to end the culture of impunity in relation to such crimes and to enforce a culture of accountability. A critical success factor for these courts is to ensure that they are perceived as legitimate in post-conflict societies. Established after the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi ethnic group, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) was active for 20 years and closed its doors in December 2015. This book identifies the legitimacy challenges faced by the ICTR, based in Arusha, Tanzania, and its subsequent legitimisation activities implemented to gain, maintain and repair legitimacy, while also examining which stakeholders the ICTR targeted in its efforts to establish and/or maintain its legitimacy. This book is intended for policy-makers and practitioners working in the fields of international criminal law, human rights and transitional justice. More specifically, it addresses professionals working for international criminal courts or tribunals, including those working at the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals in Arusha and The Hague. This book also aims to reach individuals involved in the design and implementation of external relations activities and outreach programmes.

Narrating organised crime stories and aristotelian principles of drama - ebook (9789400111561)

Eleven international publishing

This volume contains the contributions of the 21st Cross-Border Crime Colloquium webinar hosted by the Norwegian Police University College, Kongsvinger and organised 22-24 August 2021. Despite the pandemic, the Colloquium Group decided to return to the 'criminal normal' and the related research on (cross-border) organised crime, corruption, labour exploitation, fraud, ecological crime and the search for criminal revenues. These are partly old themes, some getting renewed attention, such as the hidden wealth of corrupt political elite, whether Nigerian godfathers or Russian oligarchs. A criminal theme with global implications is the growing 'greencriminality' or crime against the nature. Forests are illegally cut clear in Eastern Europe to satisfy the hunger of the European furniture industry: cheap furniture from stolen wood from the Carpathian or further east leaving behind devastated landscapes. Also, criminal waste traffi cking from industrialised farming fi nding its way through criminal channels is a recognised cross-border organised crime. In peer reviewed contributions international experts present a broad range of criminal phenomena and policies: from a 25-year review of organised crime in The Czech Republic, labour exploitation and Nigerian organised crime in Italy, Middle-Eastern criminal clans in Germany, and international fuel fraud to criminal asset recovery policy in the Netherlands.

Critical essays on human rights criticism - ebook (9789054545262)

Eleven international publishing

Decades of talk of the human rights revolution has triggered impatience and disappointment with a once cherished idea(l). Lately the backlash has received momentum from populist and illiberal political movements. Essays in this volume offer theoretical perspectives and practical insights on developments in Europe, the Americas and South Africa. Authors show how instruments, institutions and practices of human rights protection are used to undermine liberties. The picture includes strategic illiberal politcal actors as well as the (sometimes unwitting) contributions of human rights defenders, national and regional courts. This volume calls for a much needed conversation on the future of human rights among scholars and practitioners of human rights. It also invites students of populist and illiberal governments to join the debate.

Criminal defiance in europe and beyond - ebook (9789059317185)

Eleven international publishing

Crime can be seen as an act of defi ance against the rule of law, particularly if is committed with intent. This intension is often to make unlawful gains, whether by theft, corruption or taking part in illegal markets, which in Europe are most often cross-border in nature. This entails that criminal defi ance is not just a national issue: theft or fraud can be committed locally, while handling the illicit proceeds may require a cross-border movement. Obviously not every state faces the same defi ance, or prioritises the same defi ance. That may induce stronger states, for example the USA in its 'war-on' policy, to exert pressure on smaller states to accept the same interpretation (and legislation) of criminal defi ance. Such 'legislative imperialism' may itself be considered as defi ant. Criminal defi ance is risky: the authorities do not like to be seen as 'soft' and must visibly 'hit back'. So successful criminals must keep a low profi le, though some crime groups, such as the criminal motor-cycle gangs, defy this principle by ostentatious conduct. Likewise, in the case of grand corruption in states where corruption has become endemic, we see criminal defi ance, in the case of some eastern European countries the defi ance by oligarchs, being a public matter. The 20th Cross-border Crime Colloquium, hosted in 2019 by the Willem Pompe Institute of Utrecht University, presents this peer-reviewed volume to which 32 authors from all over Europe have contributed. It covers a broad range of expertise and original research projects: from the UK, Germany and further to Russian Siberia and back to the frayed fringes of the Mediterranean shores where a host of migrant workers is ready to defy fate for a better life.

New perspectives on acquisitive prescription - ebook (9789462747470)

Eleven international publishing

Landownership is a cornerstone of our economic and social system, as it enables people to lead self-fulfilling lives by allowing them to participate in human activities. It also provides the necessary security for long-term investment and economic development. These purposes are undermined when non-owners acquire the ownership of land against the owner's wishes. Yet, both acquisitive prescription and adverse possession deprive owners of their property against their will. This book offers fresh perspectives on existing debates about whether these legal institutions still serve legitimate goals in contemporary society. To the extent that they still have a societal function, the contributors to this book inquire whether the requirements for an acquisition by a non-owner should be changed. They pay particular attention to the role of land registration systems in the context of these legal institutions and shed light on whether there should be alternative remedies available, such as compensation for the loss of land. The book will be of use to academic lawyers, property theorists, legal practitioners, and land use planners.

Outlaw motorcycle gangs in the meuse rhine euregion - kim c.p. geurtjens - ebook (9789400111554)

Eleven international publishing

Outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMCGs) have been increasingly viewed as a threat to society. Members have been associated with disturbances of public order as well as various forms of organized crime. In response, the authorities in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium have each implemented their own zero-tolerance strategies to prevent and repress outlaw biker crime and deviance. In the cross-border Meuse Rhine Euregion, where the three countries intersect, the national borders may provide opportunities to outlaw bikers while at the same time limiting authorities in their response. In examining the role of the border, this book deals with the history of OMCGs and the responses in each country, the authorities involved in the response, and contemporary problems in the Meuse Rhine Euregion. This book is intended for policy makers and practitioners working in the field of organized crime and public disorder committed by outlaw bikers, especially those working in cross-border regions.

Cross-border access to electronic evidence - josua sitompul - ebook (9789054546801)

Eleven international publishing

The success of many cybercrime investigations depends on the accessibility of electronic evidence (e-evidence) stored abroad. Whereas cybercrime knows no frontiers and cyberspace remains an un-territorialised realm, a State has territorial boundaries. Indonesia and many other States have attempted to resolve problems of cross-border access in obtaining e-evidence from cyberspace. This book investigates aspects of international law, criminal procedure law, and data protection law as foundations in improving Indonesian law and practice to resolve the problems. It presents pragmatic approaches on how a State may exercise sovereignty in cyberspace to obtain e-evidence located abroad and remain respectful of other States' sovereignty. The book analyses the implementation of the Budapest Convention in facilitating its parties to obtain e-evidence expeditiously through direct cooperation with service providers. It explores options in establishing a direct cooperation mechanism between US corporations and Indonesian authorities. This book is relevant for academics, policymakers, and practitioners from Indonesia and other States who are looking for practical insights or legal solutions in resolving issues of cross-border access to e-evidence.

Insider guarantees in corporate finance - aart jonkers - ebook (9789460948527)

Eleven international publishing

Insider guarantees play a crucial role in corporate finance. In small and medium companies shareholders frequently guarantee business debts towards a professional creditor, often the bank. In corporate groups, group companies often guarantee each other's debts towards a lender. The economic dynamics involved are however poorly understood. This book gives an in-depth overview of the economic dynamics involved and reviews the legal regulation of these dynamics in the legal systems of the US, Germany and the Netherlands. The guarantee relationship can lead to efficiency gains, but is also prone to opportunistic use towards both insiders and outsiders of the relationship. German, Dutch and US law have some, but widely differing and in any case very limited mechanisms to deal with opportunistic use. Legal practitioners will appreciate the clear guidance on the dynamics and the overview of the regulation of and (liability) risks for parties involved. Academics will appreciate the innovative and thorough methodological approach.

The american presidency under trump: the first two years - guiseppe franco ferrari - ebook (9789460943935)

Eleven international publishing

Trump constitutes a clear break with past presidencies. Gallons of ink have been spilled on Trump's controversial use of social networks. Attention has been paid to his incautious statements on both domestic and foreign policy, which seem to be dictated at the spur of the moment rather than after an attentive consideration of the possible consequences for the United States and the world as a whole. Yet, less attention has been devoted to the impact the Trump administration had on constitutional and administrative law doctrines, and to the most recent trends in the U.S. government policymaking under Trump. The present work fills the gap by providing a non-partisan and comprehensive analysis of Trump's first two years in office. The book is divided into two parts. The first part addresses the most recent trends in the US Government, by covering topics as varied as the relationship between the Presidency and Congress, states, federal agencies, the Supreme Court. The second part then moves to illustrate the most recent trends in policy-making, by covering topics such as environmental law, fiscal policy, health care reform, and foreign policy.

Raising moral barriers - teun van ruitenburg - ebook (9789460947131)

Eleven international publishing

This book is about the concerns and unremitting attempts of Dutch state authorities to control and raise barriers against outlaw motorcycle gangs. It discusses how Dutch mayors go to great lengths to prevent the settlement of outlaw motorcycle gangs in clubhouses and bars; how state authorities look for ways to divert members away from civil service and private security companies; how the Dutch National Police attempts to frustrate the internal cohesiveness of outlaw motorcycle gangs through criminal investigations; and why the Dutch courts recently banned a number of clubs at the request of the Public Prosecution Service. In the attempt to describe, understand and explain this approach, this empirical study builds on the work of several scholars who all in their own way characterized contemporary society by the efforts to prevent crime in the earliest stages possible, which attempts are inherently coupled with a focus on the 'future', 'threats', 'dangers', 'indicators', 'barriers' and 'risks'. By conducting a social constructivist analysis through time, the author reveals that the approach to outlaw motorcycle gangs has made a 180-degree shift from inclusion in the 1970s to exclusion in present times. In doing so, it is argued that today's efforts to raise preventive barriers against outlaw motorcycle gangs must not be solely explained by the urge to prevent crime, but also as a way to mark the moral boundaries of society.

Ministers of justice in comparative perspective - natalie fox, piotr mikuli, radosław puchta - ebook (9789462741904)

Eleven international publishing

This book analyses the institution of Minister of Justice in the constitutional systems of several European countries: the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, and Poland. The research was based on the hypothesis that the Minister of Justice is, in fact, inessential, because the institution is to a large extent incompatible with the principles of the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary. Certain competences currently assigned to this institution might be allocated to other bodies and departments, including those that function as part of the government (the Cabinet), without any prejudicial effect on the functioning of the state. The book is aimed at academics in the field of comparative constitutional law. Piotr Mikuli, Ph.D. (habil.), is a professor at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków and head of the Chair in Comparative Constitutional Law. His interests include constitutional and administrative justice, political systems and constitutional principles in comparative perspective. He is the author and co-author of a number of publications dealing with Polish and foreign constitutional issues. Piotr Mikuli is the editor of the collective volume Current Challenges in Court Administration published by Eleven International Publishing in 2017. Natalie Fox, M.A., is a Ph.D. candidate and also an assistant professor to the Chair in Comparative Constitutional Law of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. She teaches and writes in the area of constitutional law and deals with the analyses of the British constitutional system in the context of the UK membership in the European Union and Brexit issues. Radosław Puchta, Ph.D., is a researcher at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (2016-2019).He graduated from the University of Warsaw in 2009, where he obtained his doctoral degree (summa cum laude) in 2017.

Life time contracts - ebook (9789460949296)

Eleven international publishing

This book deals with life time contracts, the group of contracts which generally play the most important role in our daily life. These contracts establish social longterm relations which, with regard to certain periods of the lifetime of individuals, provide essential goods, services, labour and income opportunities for self-realization and participation. The book questions the general principles of European contract law built onto the classical model of sales contracts. It argues that a general life time contract should be integrated into the codification of modern private law and proposes a set of principles governing such social long-term relations. The book is divided into five parts: Introduction; Life Time in Contract Law; Labour Contracts; Consumer Credit Contracts; and Residential Tenancy Contracts. This book is the result of annual discussion meetings that took place between 2006-2013. Twenty-one members of the EuSoCo.eu research group from eleven countries participated in a multi-cultural project to provide a contractual model for the credit and service economy of the 21st century.

Eleven international publishing

The Third Annual NILG Conference took place at Wageningen University on 29 November 2011. The conference was themed `Law & Governance Beyond the Public-Private Law Divide?. A governance approach focuses on all institutions that pursue policy goals. During the conference, the main question discussed was what this approach means for legal research and legal practice. Is the distinction between public and private law still relevant? Can the governance approach enrich methodologies of legal research? Can this approach further new types of regulation, in which the market or civil society organizations have an important input and/or which require more technical expertise?

Cross-border employment and social rights in the eu road transport sector - amber zwanenburg - ebook (9789462743830)

Eleven international publishing

his textbook aims to sketch out the main problems arising in the field of EU transnational transportation by providing adequate understanding of the legal setting in the five key EU legal areas for this sector: fundamental freedoms, private international law, posting of workers, social security coordination and social dialogue. Indeed, road transport is a truly living organism which makes it challenging for the laws to keep up with its ongoing dynamics. In addition, due to its inherent transnational element, the process of application of relevant laws is often shrouded in ambiguity, making it difficult to solve the emerged conflicts of laws. Against this background, this textbook provides an integral vision on the interaction of EU freedoms with social rights at EU level offering a comprehensive and unique in-depth coverage of the most relevant topics and presenting nuanced guidance depicting problem-solving skills which was carefully selected by the leading academic experts. Overall, this position is addressed to not only academics but also to students, practitioners and others interested in the road transport sector. This textbook was composed within the framework of an Erasmus + SENSE Project comprised of the following partners: Luca Ratti (University of Luxembourg), Amber Zwanenburg, Ruben Houweling and Zef Even (Erasmus University Rotterdam), Mijke Houwerzijl (Tilburg University), Herwig Verschueren and Bartłomiej Bednarowicz (University of Antwerp) and Monika Tomaszewska and Michał Szypniewski (University of Gdansk).

Directors liability in the twilight zone - loes lennarts - ebook (9789462749115)

Eleven international publishing

The legislative efforts of the European Union with respect to insolvency were, for a long time, limited to providing uniform rules of international private law on the competent court, applicable law and recognition by means of the European Insolvency Regulation. In recent years, the legislative efforts have shifted towards harmonization of substantive insolvency law at a European level. The most defining characteristic of this harmonization attempt is the focus on reorganization instead of liquidation. In November 2016, the European Commission presented its proposal for a Directive on Preventive Restructuring Frameworks, Second Chance and measures to increase the efficiency of restructuring, insolvency and discharge procedures. The Directive provides for the possibility to reorganize prior to and outside of court supervised insolvency procedures. It envisions that such preventive restructurings should enable enterprises to restructure at an early stage and to avoid the opening of formal insolvency procedures. In four reports, leading practitioners and academics reflect on the current role and responsibilities of directors in the twilight zone in their respective jurisdiction and what role liability should play also under the envisioned Directive.

Rethinking expropriation law iii - ebook (9789462749290)

Eleven international publishing

This book is the third of a series in which experts engage critically with the context, criteria and consequences of expropriation. It addresses the issue of fair compensation for expropriations of tenure rights in land from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. Not all forms of tenure entail that the land user will receive compensation for losing access to the land. The authors shed light on who qualifies for compensation. Where a holder of tenure rights is entitled to compensation, the contributions deal with the question of whether other costs, such as income losses, costs of moving, and the loss of one'ss community, are compensated. The authors then address the issue of who determines the value of the incurred losses. Finally, this book deals with pressing political issues, specifically the South African debate on expropriation without compensation.

Breaking the bank? - shirley kempeneer - ebook (9789089744968)

Eleven international publishing

In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, governments introduced stress tests to measure and monitor banks' health. Breaking the Bank? assesses whether the EU-wide banking stress test is a good regulatory tool. It deals with some of the key questions that still linger about the exercise: do the benefits of the stress test outweigh the enormous cost? Is it tough enough on banks? And, does it tell us which banks are healthy or not? Beyond the scope of the stress test, the book addresses how indicators are made and to what effect. This is increasingly important as indicators are produced through socio-political power plays and negotiations. Before we can use these indicators in policy and public debate, we need to understand where they come from and what they do.

Sustainable tourism and law - ebook (9789460948602)

Eleven international publishing

The central focus of this book is the interaction between law and tourism with a view to attaining sustainable tourism. This book aims to achieve that goal by approaching law and tourism from various angles. On the one hand, sustainable tourism will be put in a broader context by, for example, outlining the principles and philosophy of sustainable tourism, but also explaining how principles of sustainable tourism can be taught through educational programmes in developing countries. The question therefore arises as to how that Global Code could also be integrated in legal teaching. There are, moreover, many examples in developing countries of successful sustainable tourism. To provide concrete examples of those success stories and to critically analyze them, we focus on one particular case, the case of Indonesia, and cite cases of sustainable tourism (strongly focusing on how law and legal rules have contributed to sustainable tourism) mostly on the islands of Java and Bali.

Perspectives of global constitutionalism - gabor halmai - ebook (9789460949623)

Eleven international publishing

While global constitutional ideas migrate across countries, continents, agencies and institutions, internationally accepted principles of constitutionalism and human rights influence national governments that have been able to keep their sovereignty. This book looks into the fascinating question of convergence and sovereignty by approaching the issue from various angels: the use of foreign and international law in national constitution-making and constitutional interpretation on the one hand, and the use of international human rights by domestic courts on the other. The book covers ten countries through different perspectives, focussing on the interplay between the national jurisdiction and international and foreign law. The author argues that despite the different postures towards the use of foreign and international law, constitutionalism and judicial review have `gone global, and there is definitely a growing horizontal communication between constitutional systems. The consequence of this development is the emergence of a `transnational or cosmopolitan constitutionalism. According to the author, this process can be sped up by the inevitable constitutionalization of international law.

The Effective Youth Court is purpose-made for professionals and academics working in the field of juvenile justice to inform them about a new interdisciplinary perspective.

Knowledge of the legal framework that has been developed in the past decades in the area of human rights, particularly the procedural rights of the child, has to be enriched with social scientific insights in the development and treatment of the child. First, the book develops a normative framework for the application of the right to be heard in the youth court. Then it offers a comparative analysis of the actual practice of participation of juvenile defendants in Europe. In total 50 youth courts have been visited, involving more than 3000 cases of juvenile defendants. Finally, best practices in the youth court procedure are designated regarding the actual participation of juvenile defendants.
