Abstract:

The monograph examines the mechanism by which a consumer exercises his or her rights, including in the presence of signs of dishonesty. A legally protected interest is proposed as the main criterion for qualifying a consumer's actions (inaction) for abuse of a right. A system of measures has been developed to counteract such behavior, aimed at eliminating shortcomings in the legal regulation of relations with consumers. It is intended for students, postgraduates, teachers, practicing lawyers and anyone who is interested in the problems of exercising subjective rights in the retail market of go

Abstract:

This volume aims to uncover the diverse approach to plants in the Renaissance and seventeenth century that paved the way for a definition of botany as a fully-fledged discipline. Its scope expands beyond the natural historical interest in collections and the fabrication of materia medica: moving from Varchi, Matthioli and Bauhin to Locke, Pinelli, and Linnaeus, among others, the contributions collected here connect practical and theoretical features, dealing with the challenges that characterized any involvement with plants.

The study of the interaction between different pieces of EU financial legislation becomes ever more important—and difficult. In this contribution the author clarifies the relationship between the MiFID II and several other closely related directives, such as the Insurance Distribution Directive, the PRIIPs Directive and the UCITS Directive. The analysis reveals numerous inconsistencies and interpretation difficulties. The author argues that while some of the shortcomings are inherent to the EU piecemeal approach, other problems should and could have been avoided, by adopting a holistic approac

Abstract:

As a prelude to the three themes in the volume, this chapter explores more generally the turn towards legitimacy in global governance research. The chapter suggests that this turn is partly explained by shortcomings in normative research on global democracy, and the potential of research on legitimacy to overcome those problems. The chapter discusses the merits and demerits of alternative conceptualizations of legitimacy in serving these purposes. The chapter concludes in favor of a normative-sociological understanding of legitimacy that is sensitive to beliefs among members of relevant audien

An evidence hierarchy is a rank ordering of kinds of research methods according to the potential for those methods to suffer from systematic bias. Evidence hierarchies are widely used to assess evidence in systematic reviews of medical studies. Chapter 5 gives several arguments against the use of evidence hierarchies.

Medical science should not employ evidence hierarchies, including even the latest and most sophisticated of such hierarchies. There is an

It is argued that the EU has indeed stimulated policy change, but that its potential as a social investment facilitator has been hamstrung by a number of weaknesses and shortcomings, especially on the discursive front.

Markets are interlinked in the sense that the organization of one market affects the functioning of other markets. Sellers whose sales are affected by shortcomings in another market may try to reorganize that market. In this chapter, the phenomenon of market organization across market borders is illustrated through empirical examples of how businesses in side markets such as the hotel, train, boat, and air travel markets have become active organizers of the Swedish taxi market. The Swedish state ‘deregulated’ taxi services, abolishing several organizational elements. The new situation led to s
