Professional football in the EU is nowadays characterized by unlevelled regulatory and supervisory playing fields. These unlevelled playing fields hinder the establishment and functioning of the internal market and create a legal uncertain environment for professional football clubs and football agents, active in the most practised, mediatised and commercialized sport in the world. In support of clubs and football agents applying on their own initiative high standards of good governance, this note calls for EU legislative intervention to level the regulatory and supervisory playing fields to create a true internal market for football agents and professional football clubs with acceptable minimum levels of good governance for all.

This book contains the text of the Inaugural Caius Mok Law Lecture, given by The Honourable Chief Justice Geoffrey Ma at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge.The coming into effect of the Basic Law and the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance saw the constitutional implementation of the rights contained in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The more than twenty years that have passed since the exercise of the resumption of sovereignty by the Peoples Republic of China over Hong Kong have seen the latter's courts grapple with legal challenges hitherto untouched. Cases have at times involved sensitive areas since some of the cases have originated from controversial political, social and economic events. In meeting the legal challenges, the courts in Hong Kong have had to seek guidance from different sources and much assistance has been derived from European jurisprudence. The manner in which rights have been treated in European jurisprudence has been a major influence on how legal challenges unique to Hong Kong have been conceptualized and resolved under her common law system.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The UK after Brexit is the result of a cooperation between a group of leading academics from top institutions in the UK and beyond. It offers students, practitioners, and scholars an authoritative, informative, and thought-provoking series of analyses of some of the key challenges facing the UK legal system in and through the process of 'de-Europeanisation'-that is, in and through 'Brexit.' It provides discursive exploration of key issues and themes for reflection and debate within multiple areas of law, broadly divided into three main areas of interest: constitutional concerns, such as the relationship between Parliament and the Executive, the relevance of devolution, and the impact on the courts; substantive topics including employment law, environmental law, financial services, intellectual property, and criminal cooperation; and issues regarding the UK's external relations, for example its relations with the EU, membership of the World Trade Organisation, ingredients for creating UK trade policy and bilateral investment policy, and international security (the UN, NATO, and more). The structure of this work is specifically designed to offer the clearest presentation of these analyses and constitute a critical, comprehensive resource on the effects of de-Europeanisation on the UK legal system. These analyses will remain relevant over time-not only as the withdrawal process unfolds, but well into the future as the UK reorientates its legal system to new internal and external realities. [Subject: UK Law, European Law, Brexit, Trade Law, Constitutional Law, Comparative Law] The UK after Brexit offers students, practitioners and scholars an authoritative, informative and thought-provoking series of analyses of some of the key challenges facing the UK legal system in and through the process of `de-Europeanisation.

In all other departments, direct supervisors are already performing a wide variety of HR-tasks. They are involved in job interviews, they lead and motivate their staff, monitor their performance and do the evaluation interviews. The awareness of how important healthy and sustainable work relationships are, has grown strongly over the past decades, to the point where HRM is correctly seen as one of the most important domains in modern business.Human Resource Management Basics discusses a wide variety of HRM domains from recruitment and selection to socialization and leadership, from monitoring and improving staff performances to restructurings and dismissals. We thereby combine the classic and new theories with new trends, techniques and business cases, integrating the academic and the professional worlds of HRM. We also merge insights from psychology and economics to acquire a broad understanding of HR choices and their effects. This makes Human Resource Management Basics a fine book for students and professionals who want to deepen their understanding of HRM.Human Resource Management Basics is a handbook loaded with examples and recent business cases, backed-up by scientific research; extended with online exercises for students and voice recordings from the author; useful for business professionals and students who want to acquire a strong and broad knowledge of HRM; updated using the feedback of dozens of lecturers who have used the handbook for years. In Human Resource Management Basics the author covers the primordial HR issues such as recruitment and selection, socialisation and leadership, improved performance and dismissal of staff. Suitable for both practitioners and students who want to acquire a strong basic background in HR.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The future of labor law is widely considered to be in crisis by scholars of the field. The objective of this book is threefold. First, it draws attention to a number of phenomena and processes both within and outside the law that affect the protective mechanisms and essential functions of labor law. Secondly, the book's contributors point out the main causes and the principal consequences. Finally, it reflects the proposed remedies to preserve the essential task of labor law. The objectives are achieved by developing the following four themes: the existential relation between labor law, the labor market, and social competition * the historical tie between labor law and human dignity * the relationship between labor law, market law, and (social) competition law * the risk of a renewed contestation of the dignity of working people. The book provides intellectually challenging ideas for those interested in understanding, explaining, and interpreting labor laws, whether they are scholars, practitioners, judges, policy-makers, or workers and employers. (Series: Publications on Labour Law - Vol. 2) It may seem dangerous to express oneself on the future of labour law, since it is widely considered to be in crisis by scholars of the field. The objective of this book is to draw attention to a number of phenomena and processes both within and outside the law that affect the protective mechanisms and essential functions of labour law.

This book offers an innovative and systematic analysis of the new rules on consumer sales contracts in several EU Member States after the implementation of Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights. The national reports, all written by highly respected authors, focus in particular on the scope of application of the implementing provisions of the Consumer Rights Directive and their interplay with the already existing rules on consumer contracts, as well as on the relationship between the national 'special' rules concerning consumer sales and the general domestic rules on sales contracts. Furthermore, each contribution looks ahead by weighing the future development of European contract law and its possible interaction with national regulation of consumer sales. The book therefore addresses not only academics but also practitioners and members of the European institutions who are dealing with the task of shaping new European consumer and contract law. This book offers an innovative and systematic analysis of the new rules on consumer sales contracts in several EU Member States after the implementation of Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights.

Impressive cybercrimes have been reported in the media in recent years, demonstrating the grave harm that even a single cyberattack can cause. Yet no systematic assessment of the impact of cybercrime on Belgian society and economy had been conducted until the start of the research project Belgian Cost of Cybercrime (BCC) in 2013, which was funded by the Belgian Service Science Policy Office (BELSPO) and coordinated by the KU Leuven Centre for IT & IP Law (CiTiP), in collaboration with the KU Leuven Institute of Criminology (LINC).Building on that large multidisciplinary project, the book assesses the impact of cybercrime on businesses based in Belgium, drawing from a thorough conceptualization of both cybercrime and itsimpact. Using data collected through two surveys sent to more than 9,000 representatives of Belgian businesses, the authors report that most of the responding businesses are confronted with at least one type of cybercrime every year and some of them suffer serious harm from these incidents. Lastly, the book calls for the identification and implementation of effective preventive measures targeting the different types of cybercrime.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book is unique as it goes beyond the classical academic approach and opts for an approach whereby the theoretical insights are systematically illustrated by concrete cases and exercises. This explains its title: Financial Management in Practice. This approach makes this book very suitable both for financial managers and for university and high school students.Beginning with a description of the current banking and entrepreneurial landscape, the book proceeds to examine the basic concept of financial management. The business plan and financing plan become the working tools in the author's search for optimal financing and in determining the value of the enterprise. This is followed by an analysis of all forms of debt financing such as overdraft, investment credits, straight loans, leasing and factoring.Subsequently, the book examines mezzanine financing, formal and informal venture capital, including business angels and crowdfunding, as well as stock quotations and initial public offerings. The book concludes with a review on the Basel Accords, from the viewpoint of the entrepreneur. This way, the author provides ammunition for managers confronted with banks or venture capitalists who claim that some actions are not possible "because of Basel".The glossary at the end of the book lists the major financial terms to ensure smooth reading. The included tables with annuity factors should facilitate the investment analysis. And last but not least, solutions to the exercises have been included at the back of this book, so that the active reader can evaluate his own solutions."In contrast to the rather academic approach taken by other authors, Professor Aernoudt opts for an approach based on practice, with cases and exercises to enhance understanding of various theoretical approaches. This book therefore fills an important gap". This book is unique as it goes beyond the classical academic approach, and opts for an approach whereby the theoretical insights are systematically illustrated by concrete cases and exercises.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. There is considerable pressure on Small Island Developing States globally to introduce or to strengthen intellectual property regimes. This pressure comes in a number of forms, including bilateral and multilateral Free Trade Agreement negotiations and development assistance programmes such as those of the World Intellectual Property Organisation. The aim of this book is to offer a competing model of intellectual property policy using the Pacific Islands as a case study. This competing model is one based on local conceptions of culture and indigenous understandings about use, knowledge and transfer of intangible property. Adopting such a base as a starting point will enable the weaving together of multiple regulatory strategies to facilitate the transfer of knowledge, stimulate and reward innovation and creativity, and protect rights over traditional knowledge in ways that have meaning and resonance for local populations. Elements of western intellectual property frameworks can also form important strands in intellectual property policies. However, these elements should be incorporated, and possibly reinterpreted, within the local framework.The approach advocated in this book opens up a number of different roads for intellectual property policy. First, it encourages the exploration of non-state regulatory mechanisms, such as customary norms and institutions, community protocols, and also membership of international NGOs, in regulating the use of intellectual property. In most Pacific Island countries there is little state capacity to implement and police intellectual property laws and so creative use should be made of the possibilities offered by non-state structures. Second, it suggests centralising culture and the protection of traditional knowledge at the heart of intellectual property policy, rather than treating it as a secondary issue to be dealt with by sui generis legislation. Here, traditional knowledge forms the basis of culture and development and cannot and should not be separated from modern or scientific notions of creativity and innovation. A pragmatic incremental approach to intellectual property policy development is also advocated, requiring countries to thoroughly assess the advantages and disadvantages of any new intellectual property law within their local context, to consider how to adaptively implement this in a way suited to the local context, as well as to realistically assess the state's capacity for enforcement. Finally, the book challenges a number of claims made about intellectual property law and development, demonstrating that a far more fine-grained analysis of the nexus between the two is required than currently offered by the WIPO Development Agenda. This book considers the challenges of creating appropriate intellectual property frameworks in developing economies. It focuses on the small island states of the Pacific region to explore and illustrate the many dilemmas, drawing together considerations of policy, theories of development and law, and empirical studies to suggest solutions and possible strategies.

Criminology and the Criminal Justice System is a book for everyone interested in the historical development of the ideas on crime and punishment and their impact on the criminal justice system and the fight against crime more widely. It is as much a book for students, researchers and policy makers, as it is for lawyers, magistrates, police officers, public prosecutors and social workers. It is also a book for a wider readership curious about the origins of the current approach to issues of crime and criminal justice.Never before has an introduction to criminology systematically dealt with its history from the sixteenth century up to the present day, as well as the institutions of the criminal justice system: the police, the judiciary, the prison system, rehabilitation and youth protection.This is the first published study not only to discuss the development of criminology and the criminal justice systems of Western Europe (Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy) but also to delve into the interplay with the evolution of the system in the United States from the end of the eighteenth century up to this day.In addition, the extensive bibliography and numerous illustrations make this textbook ideal for further study and more in-depth research as well as a pleasure to read. This is the first published study not only to discuss the development of criminology and the criminal justice systems of Western Europe (Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy) but also the United States from the end of the eighteenth century up to this day.

The Institute for Property Law of the University of Leuven had the opportunity to welcome numerous authoritative legal scholars to debate on the impact of sustainability challenges on the crossroads between contract and property. While environmental issues, and more broadly sustainability, are often conceived as a matter of public law, if a matter of law at all, in recent years, also private law aims to join in. More fundamentally, environmental law could challenge the main division in private law, the division between contract and property. Fundamental rules of traditional private law, with strong historical roots, such as the privity of contracts, the closed system of property rights, the praedial rule with regard to servitudes, etc. are under pressure. The contributions of this book therefore are situated at the point of encounter of at least three fields of law: environment, contract and property. Very often, a fourth field of law joins this encounter: the constitutional protection of ownership plays a major role in the described challenges. The contributions in this book are on the one hand, careful analyses of national laws, and on the other hand, more general views on the interplay between property law and sustainability.

Interpreter-mediated child interviews, by their nature, involve communication with vulnerable interviewees who need extra support for three main reasons: their age (under 18), language and procedural status (victim, witness or suspect). The CO-Minor-IN/QUEST research project (JUST/2011/JPEN/AG/2961; January 2013 December 2014) studied the interactional dynamics of interpreter-mediated child interviews during the pre-trial phase of criminal proceedings. The project aimed to provide guidance in implementing the 2012/29/EU Directive establishing minimum standards on the rights, support and protection of victims of crime. This book sets out the key findings from a survey conducted in the project partners' countries (Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK) targeting the different professional groups involved in child interviewing. Both the quantitative and qualitative analysis of the respondents' answers is discussed in detail. The book also provides hands-on chapters, addressing concrete cases of children involved in criminal procedures who required the assistance of an interpreter to ensure their rights were fully protected. Finally, a set of recommendations is offered to professionals working in this area. Interpreter-mediated child interviews, by their nature, involve communication with vulnerable interviewees who need extra support.

Knowledge on financial analysis and business valuation is not always accessible for non-financial specialists such as managers with a more strategic focus. Nevertheless, having this intellectual skill-set can leverage your ability to make better strategic decisions. Therefore, the authors have structured this book in a way that enables non-specialists to grasp all relevant financial information using tools that allow efficient financial analyses.For the non-financial experts the book starts by presenting the essentials of financial analysis and business valuation in a structured way. However, this book is not only written for non-financial specialists as also more experienced readers may find new perspectives for conducting financial analyses. Professionals who work with relatively 'static' financial data concerning solvability and debt will welcome the more dynamic financial toolset incorporated in this book. This toolset will enable them to get to the heart of the (financial) matter faster by focusing on relevant data. By making the relevant financial analyses this book gives the reader a better insight in the companys value. Not just by explaining theory, but by also showing how you can use the output of the financial analyses to challenge the forecasted data that will determine the price you get or have to pay. What determines a companys financial health and what drives company value? This third-edition book enables non-specialists to grasp all relevant financial information using tools that allow efficient financial analyses and allows specialists to gain new perspectives on the matter.

Sometimes, this influence is predictable, for instance because EU law provides expressly that violation of a rule shall produce a specific private law effect (Article 101(2) TFEU). Less predictable are the consequences where the Court of Justice interprets provisions of EU law ostensibly addressed to the Member States such as creating, modifying or extinguishing rights and obligations in legal relationships between individuals. Since 1974 the Court has given interpretations to such direct horizontal effect to some of the TFEU provisions on free movement.Private Law and the Internal Market seeks to establish the links between the relevant judgments and, by analysing them in the context of the various mechanisms used by EU law to influence national private law, considers whether the Court's approach to one free movement provision can be predictive of other free movement provisions and if so, to what extent. It also discusses the impact which accepting direct horizontal effect has on the grounds that must be available to individuals as a defence to alleged infringement of a free movement provision. This book discusses the possible reach of the influence of the TFEU provisions on free movement of goods, persons, services and capital on legal relationships between individuals (horizontal legal relationships). It then formulates a private law reaction to this so-called direct horizontal effect of the fundamental freedoms.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. States in the Global North increasingly cooperate with those in the Global South to stem irregular migration flows. As a result, many refugees and migrants are contained in Global South States with relatively weak track records in terms of socio-economic rights. This raises questions as to the responsibility of the various States involved for their plight. Yet existing scholarship pays scant attention to the fact that migration control agreements often result in widespread violations of the socio-economic rights of people on the move contained in the Global South. This book fills this gap in the literature by examining the States that are responsible for these violations.First, the book depicts the plight of people on the move contained in the Global South and traces the development of cooperative migration control policies. Second, it examines to what extent sponsor States in the Global North and partner States in the Global South have obligations under international human rights law to realise the socio-economic rights of people on the move. It analyses the scope of partner States' obligations towards people on the move on their territory as well as sponsor States' extraterritorial obligations, including both their direct obligations - triggered when they exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction - and their global obligations of international assistance and cooperation. Lastly, the book explores the circumstances under which each State involved in migration control incurs responsibility for the violations of the socio-economic rights of people on the move and how the responsibility of one State relates to that of another.This book is particularly relevant for human rights and migration scholars, as well as legal scholars working on issues of shared responsibility more generally. It would also be of interest to policy makers, lawyers and judges who face complex legal questions raised by cooperative migration control. States cooperate to stem irregular migration flows, yet migration control agreements often result in widespread violations of the socio-economic rights of people on the move contained in the Global South. This book examines the States that are responsible for these violations. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

The book addresses the most pertinent theoretical and practical issues affecting the broad topic of harmonisation in the fields of environmental and energy law in a comprehensive and critical manner. In this respect, it constitutes a timely and meaningful contribution to the ongoing debate on the conceptual underpinnings, legal techniques and sector-specific problems concerned, while enriching the debate and promoting a more enhanced, coordinated regime to tackle environmental and energy issues in the European Union.Environmental legislation is often incoherent and fragmented, creating hurdles to its effective application. Consequently, rule makers need to resort to harmonisation, which is seen as referring to a number of techniques and instruments that all aim to clarify rules and establish a more coherent and solid legal framework. The book examines the merits of this approach within the context of the European Green Deal and the increasing urgency of the environmental and climate crisis, as well as the obstacles encountered and the questions arising from these complex processes.By bringing together more than fifteen renowned experts in the fields of European environmental and energy law, this book aims to dissect the most critical aspects of and obstacles in the process of strengthening coordination and, ultimately, effectiveness of the existing legal regimes in the field of environmental and energy law in the European Union while sparking further research in the field.Harmonisation in EU Environmental and Energy Law is highly recommended reading for legal scholars specialising in European environmental and energy law, as well as practitioners working in these fields. The book deals with topical issues in the ongoing process of harmonisation in the fields of environmental and energy law.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. This book examines how international judicial and non-judicial bodies in Europe address the needs of the families of forcibly disappeared persons. The needs in question are returning the remains of disappeared persons; the right to truth; the acceptance of responsibility by states; and the right to compensation. These have been identified as the four most commonly shared basic and fundamental needs of families in which an adult was disappeared many years previously and is now assumed to be dead, which is representative of the situation of the vast majority of families of disappeared persons in Europe.The families of disappeared persons have an increasing number of international mechanisms through which they can attempt to address their needs. The proliferation of such mechanisms gives victims of enforced disappearance in Europe access to many different international procedures. At the same time, however, a functional analysis of the specific organs involved has shown that they respond to the needs of families to varying degrees. This results from the differences in their competences as well as those in their jurisprudence.There is no international instrument or mechanism capable of fully satisfying the four basic needs of the families of disappeared persons. However, in Europe, these families do have the possibility to make use of various judicial and quasi-judicial means and mechanisms which - if the states involved would properly execute the judgments or cooperate with the proper bodies - could lead to the return of the remains of disappeared persons, to obtaining knowledge about their fates, and to receiving financial compensation.The analysis covers the judgments and decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, the UN Human Rights Committee, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the Human Rights Chamber for Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Human Rights Advisory Panel in Kosovo, as well as the activities of the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus, the Special Process on Missing Persons in the Territory of former Yugoslavia, the UN Committee on Enforced Disappearances and the International Commission on Missing Persons. In so doing, the book demonstrates whether, how, and based on what principles these four needs of the families of disappeared persons can constitute a claim based on international human rights law. This book examines how international judicial and non-judicial bodies in Europe address the needs of the families of forcibly disappeared persons.

EU trade mark law - and by extension, trade mark law of the EU Member States - has substantially evolved during these past 25 years. The success of the EU trade mark resulted in a shift from a 'bottom-up' harmonization of national trade mark systems to a 'top-down' approach, based on the EU trade mark system. The first two contributions focus on the EUIPO's convergence efforts with the national trade mark offices and the impact of EU case law on national trade mark practice, respectively. Further on the evolution of the EU trade mark system is addressed through a wide variety of subjects of substantive law.
