INTERREGIONAL RECOGNITION
AND ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL
AND COMMERCIAL JUDGMENTS
Lessons for China from the US and EU Law
By Jie Huang (China Assn. of Private International Law)
Judgment recognition and enforcement (JRE) between the US
states, between EU Member States, and between mainland
China, Hong Kong, and Macao, are all forms of "interregional
JRE." This extensive comparative study of the three most important JRE regimes focuses on what lessons China can draw from the US and the EU
in developing a multilateral JRE arrangement
for mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macao.

RIGHTS AND PRIVATE LAW
Edited by Donal Nolan (U. of Oxford) and
Andrew Robertson (U. of Melbourne)
In recent years, a strand of thinking has developed in
private law scholarship which has come to be known
as 'rights' or 'rights-based' analysis. Rights analysis
seeks to develop an understanding of private law obligations that is driven, primarily or exclusively, by the
recognition of the rights we have against each other,
rather than by other influences on private law, such as
the pursuit of community welfare goals. Now available in paperback, this volume is a significant contribution to the debate about the role of rights in private
law.

NATIONALISM AND PRIVATE
LAW IN EUROPE
By Guido Comparato (European U. Inst.)
Nationalism and Private Law in Europe seeks to understand the process of legal de-nationalization within
broader political frameworks. In particular, it seeks to
make sense of opposition to Europeanization. Combining insights from the disciplines of law, history, and
political science, the book investigates the conceptual
and cultural associations between law and the nationstate. It examines the impact of nationalist ideas in
modern legal thought and reveals the nationalist underpinnings of some of the arguments employed
against and, somewhat paradoxically, even in support
of legal Europeanization.

THE STRUGGLE FOR EUROPEAN PRIVATE LAW:
A CRITIQUE OF CODIFICATION
By Leone Niglia
The Struggle for European Private Law reconstructs the European codification project
as a complex structure of government-in-the-making that embodies a set of contingent
worldviews, excludes alternatives, challenges the plurality of private laws, and entrenches conflicts that pertain not only to form but also to dilemmas implicated in determining the substantive orientation of European private law. It investigates the
position of the codifiers and their discontents in the shadow of the codification strategy pursued by the European Commission, noting a new turn in the struggle over the
configuration of private law that has taken place

DOES LAW MATTER FOR
ECONOMIC GROWTH?
A Re-examination of
the 'Legal Origin' Hypothesis
By Guangdong Xu
Hart Publishing, Oxford
The growing interest in exploring the connection between legal rules and economic growth can be attributed to the influence of Harvard economist Andrei
Shleifer and his colleagues (the so-called LLSV). This
book is part of the effort to fill gaps in LLSV studies.
The contribution of and controversy over LLSV studies are systematically reviewed. In addition, the book
scrutinizes the relationship between law and stock
market development, analyzes the role of property law
in economic development, and examines the growth
experience of China.
MOTIVE MATTERS!
An Exploration of the Notion 'Deliberate Breach of Contract'

Motive Matters argues that the victim of contractual breach
should have a stronger right to enforced performance of the contract, and that the victim should have easier access to damages
and receive a larger amount of damages if s/he is the victim of
deliberate breach of contract. The arguments for the chosen approach to deliberate breach of contract are primarily drawn from comparative legal research, mainly in the form of studying court decisions, academic contributions, and
other common legal sources: in other words, the

THE EUROPEAN UNION
AND THE EURO
How to Deal with a Currency Built on Dreams
By Hans Geeroms, Stefaan Ide and Frank Naert
ABUSE OF EU LAW AND REGULATION
OF THE INTERNAL MARKET
The European Union and the Euro examines the recent
period of financial turmoil, putting it into a larger historical, institutional, and economic context, and outlining the efforts of the EU and its Member States to
escape economic and financial meltdown. The book explains the fundamental elements of the Economic and
Monetary Union that the EU has been developing for
more than half a century, starting from a customs union,
via the single market, to the adoption of the euro.
By Alexandre Saydé
(Court of Justice of the European Union)
This study proposes that the concept of abuse of EU law is located on three major fault-lines of EU law. The first fault-line
opposes legal congruence (the tendency to yield equitable legal
outcomes) to legal certainty (the tendency to yield predictable
legal outcomes). The second fault-line, specific to EU law, divides two conceptions of the regulation of the internal market.The third fault-line corresponds to the
tension between two orientations of the economic constitution of the EU, namely the fear of 224pp | 2014 | Disc. Price $104.00

THE LAW OF CONTRACT DAMAGES
By Adam Kramer
The Law of Contract Damages is the first work to concentrate solely on damages for breach of contract.
Much of the book is arranged by reference to the type
of complaint, such the non-payment of money, or the
temporary loss of use of property, rather than by the
more traditional subject-matter specialization (e.g. sale
of goods, charter parties, surveyor's negligence). Tort
decisions are drawn on to the extent that the applicable
principles are the same as, or usefully similar to, those
in contract, and there is also detailed coverage of
many practically important but often neglected areas,
such as damages for lost management time and the
proper evidential approach to proving lost profits.

EXEMPTIONS FOR THE
NON-PERFORMANCE OF CONTRACTUAL
OBLIGATIONS IN CISG ARTICLE 79
Quest for Uniformity in International Sales Law
By Peter Mazzacano (Founder & Editor, CISG Canada)
This book explores the international jurisprudence on Article
79 of the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for
the International Sale of Goods (CISG), which is, perhaps, one
of its most contentious provisions. The book's premise is that
1-800-944-6190
Contract Law and Contract Practice examines the
idea of commercial expectation. It considers whether
supporting commercial expectations is a justifiable
aim of the law according to three well-established theoretical approaches to contractual obligations: rightsbased explanations, efficiency-based (or economic)
explanations, and the relational contract critique of the
classical law. It explores the specific challenges presented to contract law by modern commercial relationships and the ways in which the general rules of
contract law could be designed and applied in order to
meet these challenges.

Article 79, which concerns exemptions for contractual nonperformance due to an "impediment" beyond a party's control,
should be interpreted autonomously, that is, as an international
norm, without reference to domestic legal concepts and principles. To this end, the book considers the application of Article
79 by courts and arbitral tribunals across a

pose a threat to Member States' codifications of civil

to national law and the Convention on Contracts for

TRUSTS IN THE PRINCIPALITY
OF LIECHTENSTEIN
AND SIMILAR JURISDICTIONS
Aspects of Wealth Protection, Beneficiaries' Rights

Edited by Francesco A. Schurr (U. of Liechtenstein)
Worldwide, the increasing importance of, and demand for,
trusts has led to increasing competition between jurisdictions. In order to remain competitive among other national

legal systems, comparative analyses are becoming more important than ever. This book presents a collection of essays,
each providing an analysis of a trust law issue from at least
one jurisdiction’s perspective. The book then focuses on the
extent to which trusts can be used for the purposes of asset
protection, and an analysis of beneficiaries’ rights under the
laws of various jurisdictions is provided.

COMPETITION LAW
FAIRNESS IN ANTITRUST
Protecting the Strong from the Weak
By Adi Ayal (Bar Ilan U.)
What drives popular support for state-enforced competition policy? What is it about antitrust law that garners approval from
both the public and courts? This book argues that the populist
roots of antitrust are still with us, guiding sentiment towards a
legal regime that has otherwise shifted towards economic analysis. Antitrust is very much about fairness and morality, and the book assesses how
modern policy has hijacked popular support, based on traditional conceptions of political and economic power, to combat market
power in narrowly defined micro-markets.

EUROPEAN MERGER REMEDIES
Law and Policy
By Dorte Hoeg
As merger transactions become more complex, so do
the remedies involved. This book identifies and examines the most important aspects of merger remedies
which have emerged and evolved in the European
Commission's policy and practice over the past 20
years. The in-depth analysis of applicable provisions
and guidelines is structured in accordance with a typical 'remedies lifecycle': the negotiation, submission,
assessment, adoption, implementation, and enforcement of remedies. Furthermore, numerous conditional
clearance decisions and judgments, as well as studies
and legal literature on the subject, are described and
put into a coherent analytical framework.

AN INTRODUCTION TO
COMPETITION LAW
SANCTIONS IN EU COMPETITION LAW
By Piet-Jan Slot (U. of Leiden) and
Angus Johnston (U. Coll., Oxford)
Principles and Practice
By Michael Frese (Amsterdam Center for Law & Economics)
The current competition law in the UK consists of two
main levels: EU competition law and UK competition
law. In this introduction, both levels are covered, along
with an abbreviated introduction to the EU rules on
State aids. An important function of the book is to provide an insight into the combined system of UK and
EU competition law.
In 2004, in the wake of EU enlargement, the involvement of
Member State competition authorities was significantly reinforced by national authorities being given power to pursue infringements of EU competition law. This combination of
decentralization and enforcement autonomy raises questions
about the relationship between EU law and national law, as well
as about the costs of enforcement. Sanctions in EU Competition Law links these
questions by analyzing how competences in the

COMPETITION LAW ACTIONS
Edited by Mihail Danov (Aberdeen U.), Florian

This book identifies the ways in which cross-border
EU competition law actions can be best handled in Europe. Employing traditional library-based, legal research methods, as well as qualitative interviews with
legal practitioners in Germany and England (countries
sharing different legal traditions) and policy-makers in
Brussels, the book considers how private EU competition law actions are functioning at the moment and
how they could and should be developed.
Competition and diversity in media and communications are
fundamental to a healthy economy and democracy. In India and
internationally, there is no consensus on the exact manner and
scope of interventions that are appropriate to protect competition
and pluralism in media markets in India. This book examines the legal, economic, and
policy issues relating to regulation of ownership and control of media markets. The
focus of comparative assessment is on examples

To enhance the effectiveness of the right of victims to damages, the EU Commission
has presented a number of policy suggestions aimed at encouraging damage actions.
It is expected that the introduction of these measures into the national legal systems
of Member States would reduce the differences that exist between Member States in
their governance of actions for damages. This book analyzes the applications of the
policy suggestions on encouragement of private antitrust enforcement within the EU,
examining recent case law and statistics.

To what extent is labor law an autonomous field of
study? This book is based upon the papers written by a
group of leading international scholars on this theme,
delivered at a conference to mark Professor Mark
Freedland's retirement from his teaching fellowship in
Oxford. The chapters explore the boundaries and connections between labor law and other legal disciplines
such as: company law, competition law, contract law
and public law; labor law and legal methodologies,
such as reflexive governance and comparative law;
and labor law and other disciplines, such as ethics,
economics and political philosophy. In so doing, it
represents a cross-section of the most sophisticated
current work at the cutting edge of labor law theory.

The International Labor Organization (ILO) was created in 1919,
as part of the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I, to reflect the belief that universal and lasting peace can be accomplished only if it is based on social justice. The organization’s
founders only entrusted it with balancing social progress with the constraints of an interconnected open economy, but gambled almost entirely on tools of persuasion to ensure that this would happen. Whether that
gamble is still capable of paying-off is the

This is the most recent and up-to-date book on data
