Abstract:

The central theme of this book is ecological and territorialist conversion as a strategic response to the crisis. 'The return to the territory' can be conceived as a valorisation of the common heritage of assets (environmental, urban fabric, landscape, socio-cultural) that mould the identity and lifestyles of every place on the earth. This calls for several issues to be addressed: the fusing of fragmented knowledge into a science of the territory that addresses the problems of socio-territorial and environmental decay in an integrated manner; the definition of new markers and policies of publi

Abstract:

This chapter describes how the EU regime permits bail-in to be implemented directly by varying the terms of the obligations of the institution in resolution. Bail-in, by definition, is a process which applies to some but not all of the senior creditors of an institution—not all, since the object of the process is to protect some of these creditors. The primary appeal of the bail-in structure is the fact that there is no necessity to establish a new entity and transfer assets to it. As FDIC’s history of resolution demonstrates, this is a relatively straightforward process where the assets are a

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the law on creditor claims in Mexico. Insolvency proceedings in Mexico aim for an orderly liquidation procedure of all of the bankrupt’s assets to allow an equally orderly distribution of proceeds among creditors under the principle of par conditio creditorum (equal treatment for all creditors). Ideally, the body of law regulating this procedure should match the insolvency law of each country, so that the process can be effected congruently and logically. However, social policies and other commercial considerations have created systems of priorities in asset distribution

They then summarize the empirical literature studying how SWFs actually do allocate funds across asset classes, geographically, and across industries. An assessment of empirical studies examines the impact of SWF stock investmen

The 20th anniversary of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) offers an opportunity to look back on the record of the European Central Bank (ECB) and learn lessons that can improve the conduct of policy in the future. This volume charts the way the ECB has defined, interpreted, and applied its monetary policy framework—its strategy—over the years from its inception, in search of evidence and lessons that can inform those reflections. Our ‘Tale of Two Decades’ is largely a tale of ‘two regimes’: one—stretching slightly beyond the ECB’s mid-point—marked by decent growth in real incomes and a distrib

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the law on creditor claims in France. French insolvency law has traditionally been unfriendly to creditors benefitting from contractual security interests. Unlike most other legal systems, insolvency claims secured by contractual security interests over certain assets of the debtor do not enjoy the right to be satisfied from the secured assets in priority to all other claims. The treatment of creditor claims is also similar among various insolvency proceedings. In reorganization proceedings (sauvegarde or redressement judiciaire), post-commencement claims are more common

Abstract:

This chapter introduces some basic definitions, notions, and concepts in French property law, a subject known to French law lawyers as ‘droit des biens’ or ‘law of things’. In French legal theory, ownership and possession represent two fundamental separate concepts. Whereas ownership is defined as being the legal relationship of a person to a thing, possession is the factual situation which describes the physical control of a person over the thing. Moreover, in French property law, the rights of individuals which can be assessed in terms of wealth positive or negative belong to their patrimoin

Abstract:

What does it mean to say that rural areas of Africa are poor? Many people insist that in rural African populations poverty is prevalent. This is either because the smallholder agricultural practices are unproductive or it is because economic policies have not protected and promoted African farming. But whether this deprivation is the fault of the peasant, or the government, both sides agree on the facts of rural poverty. However in both cases rural poverty is described using measures which make it hard, if not impossible, to capture new forms of wealth that rural people may be accruing. These

Newman has been much vaunted as a ‘master’ of non-fiction prose style, and justly so. His felicity of phrasing is astonishing: so precise, so elegant, so vivid. This chapter admires Newman’s stylistic achievements too, but with a view to explaining why Newman himself baulked at such praise, by insisting instead on the importance of veracity over verbalism. While a number of different writings by Newman are surveyed in the course of the chapter, the argument comes to focus in particular on his seminal work of faith, Grammar of Assent, a book that took him some twenty years to write, which almos

Although it is heartening to see wealth inequality being taken seriously, key concepts are often muddled, including the distinction between income and wealth; what is included in ‘wealth’; and facts about wealth distributions. This chapter highlights issues that arise in making ideas and facts about wealth inequality precise, and employs newly available data to take a fresh look at wealth and wealth inequality in a comparative perspective. The composition of wealth is similar across countries, with housing wealth being the key asset. Wealth is considerably more unequally distributed than incom

Abstract:

This chapter provides a new theory of the notion of what is said that is central to the book’s account of assertion, and hence of lying. It argues that what is said by utterances, in context, is relative to discourse structure, in particular, to socalled questions under discussion. The chapter shows that utterances of the same declarative sentence can be used to say, and hence assert, different things relative to which question is being addressed. In turn, the same declarative utterance may be a lie relative to one question under discussion and merely misleading relative to another question un

Abstract:

This chapter introduces the concept of transactional ‘tracing’, and identifies some characteristics of the law of tracing that do not make immediate sense on a first encounter with the cases. It argues that there are three related aspects of the law that call for explanation. First, it is not clear why tracing is necessary in the first place; rival methods for identifying the proceeds of a defendant's wrongdoing, such as causal or ‘swollen assets’ methods of identifying gain, seem to have more rational appeal. Secondly, the principled basis of specific rules of tracing is not obvious from the

It is almost entirely mandatory and leaves very little to be governed by pre-insolvency contractual arrangements. Its policies are generally favourable to creditors and are aimed at achieving pari passu distribution, including restriction of administration claims and giving unsecured creditors access to part of the proceeds of sale of security assets.

Abstract:

Many scholars hold that populism and constitutionalism cannot go together: populists, it is claimed, are against institutions in general, and against checks and balances as provided for in constitutions in particular. Instead, so the conventional wisdom goes, they assert an unrestrained popular will, or an unmediated relationship between a charismatic leader and the people. This chapter disputes this picture, building on a definition of populism whereby populists are not just anti-elitists, but also necessarily anti-pluralists, in order to argue that populists can coherently write constitution

We also suggest that training compassionate self-sacrifice is possible, through programs like the Heroic Imagination Project and other similar training efforts.

The new Brazilian Insolvency Law (Federal Law No 11.101/2005) and the former Decree-Law empower the insolvency judge to appoint a judicial administrator and define the time period in which existing debts will be recognized and included in the legal procedure. Because the firm’s assets represent the guarantee of payment of debts, the creditors’ and debtor’s legal positions are connected in a sort of unitary bundle. Of note in the new Law is the reduc
