2000014842CN The Hague: Kluwer Law International 2000. Cloth/Laminated Boards. Like New/No d/j as Published. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book On the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the multilateral trading system GATT/WTO the World Trade Organization WTO organized a symposium to discuss and analyze the current and future role of the world trading system. The rapid developments in the 1990s - not only political but also economic and technological changes - have brought the WTO to a turning point in its existence. The new challenge as the Director General stated in his opening remarks at the symposium is not just to advance free trade against the forces of protectionism. The WTO's future agenda should also look at how investment and competition laws affect market access; whether differing labour or environmental standards confer a trade advantage and how this should be dealt with; whether taxation and innovation policies constitute a subsidy; whether governments should be allowed to regulate content on the Internet. These and other issues are a world away from "traditional" trade concerns such as tariffs or quotas and yet all are included in one form or another on the new trade agenda. In this topical collection of essays academics in international trade take a fresh look at the future of the global trading system and give an analysis of the new trade agenda. 183pp. Kluwer Law International hardcover
2000014583The Hague: Kluwer Law International 2000. Cloth/Laminated Boards. Like New/No d/j as Published. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Type: Book Written from the perspective of a practising company lawyer this work is principally concerned with two broad duties owed by directors of British and Australian companies: to act honestly in good faith and for proper purposes; and to exercise care and diligence. Public attitudes towards directors have altered since the mid-1980s and the business community has raised its expectations of directors. In response to this shift in public feeling parliament and the judiciary are adopting a new approach to directors' duties widening the scope of duties imposed on directors and encouraging a more rigorous approach to corporate governance. This text analyzes this new approach with reference to English and Australian case-law and explores the courts' attempts to deal with the myriad of competing interests found within the morass of legal rules equitable principles and statutory enactment which comprise modern company law. In examining modern case-law and legislation the author addresses some of the more contentious and controversial issues which directors in the 21st century will need to confront in order to properly discharge the legal equitable and statutory requirements of their office. The subject of directors' duties is of theoretical and practical importance from economic political as well as social perspectives. This text should be of use to all lawyers policymakers academics and researchers working in this complex and rapidly changing field of the law. 379pp. Kluwer Law International hardcover
