Non-Performing Loans - A Cross Country Comparison Of Regulatory And Policy Responses

by Ayush Dimri

~~184,84€~~ 166,36€ 10% OFF

 This book focuses on the regulatory, supervisory and policy resolutions of the problems of the financial and banking system during the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. Many banks around the globe failed due to a bubble in the real estate sector, which was created in the US and rapidly spread around the world, producing a massive liquidity crunch. As a result, the proportion of non-performing loans (NPLs) rose in developed and emerging nations alike. This book critically examines the impact of the macroeconomic and microeconomic determinants that positively and negatively impact NPLs.The book offers a comparative analysis of initiatives taken in the UK, India, and Ireland. It examines the regulatory, supervisory, and policy-related measures adopted by these jurisdictions at the macro and micro levels, concluding that these measures alone will not suffice to reduce the proportion of NPLs due to the ever-evolving nature of the financial sector, mainly due to the excessive use of new technology that led to the evolution of new payment methods in the banking business in the recent time. It also shows how these jurisdictions mitigated various issues that emerged due to the COVID-19 pandemic and proposes corresponding measures, which mainly focus on applying new policy and regulatory interventions and structural changes in the institutional framework to address the problem of NPLs more effectively and avoid future downturns.

Litigating The Politics Of Human Rights - Contemporary U.S. Culture Wars On Trial

by Sonja C. Grover

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 The cases analysed involve litigation concerning a disparate range of contemporary US culture wars including equity in access to public services unrestricted by religious bias, resistance to the teaching of historical facts relating to racial tensions in America including the so-called ‘critical race theory’ debate, the right of schoolchildren to exposure concerning a diversity of views, current USSC litigation about US university admissions policy that considers ‘race’ (ethnicity) as one factor amongst many in admission, contemporary cases concerning the constitutionality of US abortion law grounded on Roe v Wade and the scope of State and indigenous sovereign powers These contemporary culture war US landmark cases are then compared to similar cases in non-US jurisdictions and courts to consider in more depth the underlying core issues in these cases.The book highlights the risk to a democracy of recasting fundamental human rights litigation as essentially nothing more than the sorting out of political quagmires and cultural conflicts best left to the discretion of government rather than the courts. Then, the major risk is that constitutional controversies will increasingly not be decided by an independent judiciary but rather by self-interested politicians as the courts more often than not decline to weigh in on highly sensitive human rights controversies. A further risk is that instead such cases will be decided through a judicial majoritarian political lens rather than a largely apolitical consensus judicial opinion constructed by both philosophically left leaning (so-called liberal) and right leaning (so-called conservative) jurists.

Local Governance In Multi-Layered Systems - A Comparative Legal Study In The Federal-Local Connection

185,49€ + 10% CARD

 The book provides a comprehensive analysis of local government in federations. It fills the gap in current legal research and positions local government in federal studies through the lenses of comparative law, adopting a more nuanced approach to local government. The book considers the shortcomings between the black-letter constitution and its operational rules. Whether (and how) the regime of local government is implemented is more relevant than its formal-but-ineffective recognition. The comparative survey discloses the variety local institutions take in different federal contexts. Divided into three parts, the book comprises chapters investigating local government in systems that, to various degrees, have been examined and classified as federal. Scholars throughout the world have examined the federal-local connection in aggregative federations, (the USA, Canada, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Austria), devolutionary ones (Belgium, Bosnia Herzegovina, Italy, Spain, the UK, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and the Russian Federation), as well as in federations beyond the West, where federalism-as-a-colonial-legacy has undergone a process of reinvention affecting the federal-local connection (South Africa, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria, Comoros, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nepal, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia; St. Kitts and Nevis; United Arab Emirates; and Pakistan).

Tort Liability In Multinational Corporate Groups - A Comparative Analysis With Particular Focus On Turkey

by Pinar Kara

185,49€ + 10% CARD

 Multinational corporate groups are important actors in today’s global economy, with the power to impact the masses through their activities. National legal systems, which usually have no extraterritorial authority, remain insufficient to regulate the activities of multinational corporate groups, which operate worldwide, not only in the countries where the parent companies reside (home country), but also in countries where the subsidiaries operate (host countries). The mentioned lack of an effective legislation leads to an unjust imbalance - to the benefit of multinational corporate groups and to the detriment, especially, of involuntary creditors, such as tort victims of corporate activities, which predominantly concern human rights abuses and environmental violations. Against this backdrop, the book firstly assesses the position of multinational corporate groups in international law and then discusses potential reforms to corporate law that would allow for a multi-stakeholder approach. It analyses certain aspects of Turkish tort law that could potentially accommodate liability claims against the parent companies of multinational corporate groups for damage incurred due to their transnational subsidiaries’ activities (referred to as ‘foreign direct liability’ in legal doctrine). To this end, the potential legal grounds of fault liability and strict liability are assessed under Turkish law, with a particular focus on the duty of care, in comparison with the corresponding case law in the UK and the Netherlands. Mandatory human rights due diligence is also analysed with a view to proposing a new regulation in Turkish law. Lastly, the aspects of foreign direct liability claims related to private international law are assessed in order to answer the questions of jurisdiction and applicable law within the scope of a comparative legal study.

International Law And Time - Narratives And Techniques

198,09€ + 10% CARD

 This book explores the close, complex and consequential - yet to a large extent implicit - relationship between international law and time. There is a conspicuous discrepancy between international law’s technical preoccupation with the mechanics of temporal rules and the absence of more foundational considerations of how time - both as an irrepressible physical dimension manifesting in the passage of time, and as a social construct shaped by diverse social and cultural factors - impacts and interacts with international law. Divided into five parts and 21 chapters, this book explores key aspects of the relationship between international law and time and puts the spotlight on time’s fundamental significance for international law as a legal order and as a discipline. Pursuing diverse approaches to international law, the authors consider the notion, significance, manifestations, uses and implications of time in international law in a wide range of contexts, and offer insightsinto the various ways in which international law and international lawyers cope with time, both in terms of constructing narratives and in devising and employing particular legal techniques.
