Climate Change Impact On Agricultural Law - Legal Aspects Of Food Security

~~302,10€~~ 271,89€ 10% OFF

 The modern world is faced with the challenge of feeding an exponentially growing population, multiplied by the increasingly perceptible changes in climate, the effects of which vary according to socio-economic, geographical and ecological conditions. Climate change has been both a manifestation and an effect of the development of the biosphere, which has influenced the evolution of our civilization. It is necessary to postulate an intensification of research on the integration of environmental and climate change adaptation issues in legal and agricultural regulation. The planned research will provide opportunity to verify the hypothesis that the regulation of environmental conditions for agriculture is evolving from specific solutions, protecting the availability of basic natural resources for agricultural production, to a more systemic approach in which agricultural inputs are treated as part of the biosphere and climate change-adapted agriculture must meet the growing food needs of a growing world population.

Extraterritoriality In Comparative Perspective

~~242,48€~~ 218,23€ 10% OFF

 Extraterritoriality is often understood as an exceptional, sometimes even illegitimate, form of state lawmaking-yet it is pervasive in contemporary practice. Countries around the world rely on extraterritorial regulation to protect local markets, in areas including competition law and data privacy. It is also recognized as a useful strategy to promote international human rights, and to address shared challenges as diverse as transnational crime, tax base erosion, and climate change. The normalization of extraterritoriality as a legal technique, however, has by no means resolved longstanding debates about its place in the international legal order. Containing in-depth studies of fifteen legal systems, this volume provides a critical comparative perspective on those debates.

Autonomous Vehicles And The Law - A Revolution Through The Prism Of Civil Liability

~~286,20€~~ 257,58€ 10% OFF

 The development of autonomous vehicles requires all the countries of the world to adapt their respective legal systems. The scale and complexity of the task is daunting. The law is called upon to enable and even encourage the advent of this revolution, while guaranteeing a fair allocation of the resulting risks and ensuring public safety. What's more, the law must rise to this challenge at a time when it is impossible to predict in the medium term the speed at which autonomous vehicles will enter circulation, or even their degree of autonomy. Adapting civil liability law appears to be the key to success. Faced with the peculiarities of autonomous vehicles, many concepts on which current liability regimes are based will need rethinking. For instance, the complex manufacturing of driving systems multiplies the number of potential liable parties, and the "black box" effect associated with the operation of learning AI increases the burden of proof in the event of a failure.

Localisation Of Damage In Private International Law

~~300,78€~~ 270,70€ 10% OFF

 Localisation in private international law of torts is a notoriously difficult question. How do you localize financial or moral damage? What about latent damage? Should damage in the context of cyber-torts be localized differently? The great variety of tortious actions gives rise to endless difficulties ranging from banal situations involving material damage to climate change. Trying to find suitable solutions requires answering many difficult questions, such as the very definition of damage within the meaning of private international law rules, the influence of various considerations such as foreseeability, protection of the claimant, and the remedy sought. The contributions in this volume address these questions and more from the perspectives of 17 different countries, from Austria to Venezuela.

Limits Of Freedom Of Public Authorities With Respect To Obtaining Evidence At The Stage Of Investigation - A Comparative Legal Study

~~241,15€~~ 217,04€ 10% OFF

 Any democratic legal system recognizes that the pursuit of the truth about a crime must have impassable limits, and that in contemporary legal systems the public authorities' principle of freedom to obtain evidence in criminal proceedings is not absolute. Drawing these boundaries is a permanent process, which produces universal legal problems of fundamental practical importance. This book addresses the fundamental importance of the protection of the individual from potential actions of state bodies that violate legally marked boundaries. Contributors synthesize knowledge about the admissibility of evidence in criminal procedure, evidence that must not be used or should not be used under certain circumstances, and the conditions for the admissibility of unlawfully obtained evidence. This comparative analysis of national evidentiary procedures is an essential showcase of certain legislative patterns and similarities between individual legal systems.
