In recent years there has been significant growth in international business courts in Europe and across the world. They have been established as expert dispute resolution forums offering procedures in English for international commercial parties. Governments have promoted their development as an integral aspect of broader public policy agendas with the aim to enhance the rule of law and the attractiveness of their jurisdictions as legal and economic hubs. While these courts can be lauded for facilitating international commercial dispute resolution and boosting justice innovation, the development of competition in the international litigation market is a remarkable trend that merits discussion. International Business Courts provides a comprehensive critical evaluation of the institutional design and procedural rules of established and emerging international business courts. It focuses on major European and global centres. It assesses to what extent these courts, the competition between them and their inter-relationship with arbitration, contribute to justice innovation. It considers their impact on access to justice and the global litigation market, as well as their effect on the rule of law. This book is of interest to legal practitioners, academics and policy makers in the area of civil justice and international business litigation.
Trump constitutes a clear break with past presidencies. Gallons of ink have been spilled on Trump's controversial use of social networks, paying close attention to his statements on both domestic and foreign policy. 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 U.S. 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.
This book is the result of the successful collaboration between two research networks: the Housing Law Working Group of the European Network for Housing Research (ENHR) and the TENLAW research network. It deals with evictions, their social background and regulation under procedural and human rights law; housing problems of indigenous and ethnic minorities and immigrants; the relationship between landlords, tenants and agents and the private rental sector; housing satisfaction and the instruments and models to measure it; and finally national instances of the European housing crises in Spain, Germany and Romania. The contributions in this volume will further enhance the understanding of housing law and rights, and provide useful materials for future comparative analysis. Houses, Homes and the Law is the third volume in the series that seeks to examine the many facets of housing law from a variety of academic and professional perspectives.
