International Contracts and National Economic Regulation - Dispute Resolution through International Commercial Arbitration (Studies in Comparative Corporate and Financial Law, Volume 11)
Mahmood Bagheri Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 9041198105 |
Book Description
The growth of national economic regulation and the process of globalisation increasingly expose international transactions to an array of regulations from different jurisdictions. These developments often contribute to widespread international contractual failures when parties claim the incompatibility of their contractual obligations with regulatory laws.International disputes of such a nature inevitably involve both public and private law and raise questions about jurisdiction, applicable contract law, economic regulations and their legitimate international application. The author challenges conventional means of dispute resolution and argues for an interdisciplinary approach whereby disciplines such as international economic law, conflict of laws, contract law and economic regulations are functionally united to resolve international and multifaceted regulatory disputes. He identifies the normative foundation of contract law as an important determinant in this process, contending that contract law is essentially neutral and underpinned by the concept of corrective justice, while economic regulations are mainly prompted by distributive justice.
Applying this corrective/distributive justice dichotomy to international contracts, the author critically assesses major conflict of laws approaches such as `proper law', `the Rome Convention' and `governmental interest analysis', which could disregard either public interest or private rights. The author, taking these theories into account, proposes an alternative two-dimensional interest analysis approach. He tests the viability of this approach with reference to arbitral awards and court decisions in various jurisdictions and concludes that it uniquely fits into the structure of international commercial arbitration. In adopting this approach arbitrators would take into account both corrective and distributive justice, and to the extent that corrective justice prevails, would be able to avert a total failure of the contract.

The Investment Book: The Screaming Capitalist Is Back!
Kevin Cork Manufacturer: Key Porter Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1552632407 |
Book Description
Following the runaway success of The Money Book, author, financial advisor, and newly minted spokesperson for the younger set seeking security, Kevin Cork is back with another must-read effort. The Investment Book is an informative and irreverent look at the world of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and investing. Like The Money Book, The Investment Book is geared toward investors under the age of 40men and women just starting their careers, families and investment portfolios. In-depth knowledge of foreign markets, RRSP options and eco-funds is not required. Nor is $40,000 of disposable income. In his trademark witty style, Cork walks the reader through the process of setting up and then maintaining an investment portfolio. Beginning with an overview of various investment options, Cork goes on to explain downto-earth strategies for combining these options into a personalized portfolio that will directly serve the readers diverse (and possibly frivolous!) needs and goals. For readers using advisors to put their portfolios together, The Investment Book provides the information needed to ask the right questions and reasonably judge the answers. For those just beginning their financial journey, or for more experienced investors looking for a fresh approach, The Investment Book is bound to offer a good return.Customer Reviews:

One and Inseparable: Daniel Webster and the Union (Belknap Press)
Maurice G. Baxter Manufacturer: Belknap Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0674638212 |
Book Description
From the ratification of the Constitution to the outbreak of the Civil War, few persons played a greater role in American history than Daniel Webster. He was a spokesman of New England commercial interests in the War of 1812, approving the threat of state interposition by the Hartford Convention; later an apostle of the industrial system and advocate of protective tariffs; a brilliant expositor of the Constitution as an instrument for national economic growth and strong central government; the architect of a foreign policy that brought permanent peace between the United States and England; the Great Compromiser who, as much as any other public man, tried to reconcile the clashing interests of North and South.
Despite his importance Webster has never been the subject of a full-scale, scholarly biography. Maurice C. Baxter's One and Inseparable traces the interrelated evolution of the public career and the private life of this imposing and controversial Yankee. He portrays Webster as an unswerving patriot, an advocate of nationality, and a champion of peace and the Union--but also reveals him as a self-promoting politician who varied his positions to suit the interests of his constituents and was sometimes insensitive to the great moral issues of his day. This devoted family man, enterprising if not altogether successful farmer, and genial companion could he egotistical, immoderate in his drinking habits, and careless about personal finances. Reading Baxter's lucid, moving biography it is possible to understand why Ralph Waldo Emerson so detested Daniel Webster but also called him "the competest man" produced by America, adding: "Nature had not in our days, or not since Napoleon, cut out such a masterpiece."

Doing Business in the Middle East: Politics and Economic Crisis in Jordan and Kuwait (Cambridge Middle East Studies)
Pete W. Moore Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0521839556 |
Book Description
Examining relations between state authority and elite business representation in the Middle East, Pete Moore considers the examples of Kuwait and Jordan. He examines why organized business in Kuwait has been able to coordinate policy reform with state officials, while their Jordanian counterparts have generally failed, despite similar fiscal crises. Moore concludes that unleashing the private sector alone is insufficient to change current political and economic arrangements when established political infrastructures remain in place.
