Book Synopsis In the Public Interest by : Stephen Wilks
Download or read book In the Public Interest written by Stephen Wilks and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together for the first time five French directors who have established themselves as among the most exciting and significant working today: Bruno Dumont, Robert Guédiguian, Laurent Cantet, Abdellatif Kechiche, and Claire Denis. Whatever their chosen habitats or shifting terrains, each of these highly distinctive auteurs has developed unique strategies of representation and framing that reflect a profound investment in the geophysical world. The book proposes that we think about cinematographic space in its many different forms simultaneously (screenspace, landscape, narrative space, soundscape, spectatorial space). Through a series of close and original readings of selected films, it posits a new 'space of the cinematic subject'. Accessible and wide-ranging, this volume opens up new areas of critical enquiry in the expanding interdisciplinary field of space studies. It will be of immediate interest to students and researchers working not only in film studies and film philosophy, but also in French/Francophone studies, postcolonial studies, gender and cultural studies.Listen to James S.

Book excerpt: The Office of Director General of Fair Trading will be replaced (with effect from 1 April 2003) by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT). New independent competition bodies will take decisions on merger and market investigations using competition-based tests rather than the current public interest test. A maximum penalty of five years in prison will deter individuals who dishonestly operate hardcore cartels. Victims of anti-competitive behaviour will find it easier to bring claims for damages for losses due to anti-competitive behaviour. Stop Now Orders will be extended to protect consumers from traders who do not meet their legal obligations. The OFT will be obliged to respond within 90 days to 'super-complaints' from consumer bodies. In insolvency cases , the use of administrative receivership will be restricted and the balance will be shifted in favour of administration. The Crown's preferential right to recover unpaid taxes ahead of other creditors, will be abolished. Almost all bankrupt individuals will be automatically discharged after a maximum of 12 months. Reforms to the Insolvency Services Account will mean that creditors receive the maximum possible investment return.
Book Synopsis Directors' Decisions and the Law by : Alice Belcher
Download or read book Directors' Decisions and the Law written by Alice Belcher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-02-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Directors are key decision-makers in any organisation, whether it is in the public sector, a family business or a transnational company. The UK Companies Act 2006 codified directors’ duties for the first time and describes the director as the ‘most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole’. This book addresses key tensions and problems involved in the duties and responsibilities of the director in promoting success, including corporate culture and credibility, trust, risk and uncertainty, collective responsibility, and the degree of control. The book considers directors’ decision-making in both private and public sector organisations and explicitly examines aspects of decision-making during periods of financial distress. The book compares the legal contexts of director’s decisions in the UK to those of the USA, Germany and Australia, and takes an interdisciplinary approach in its combination of management theory, economic theory and behavioural studies. In doing so the book addresses issues key to the understanding of corporate governance in light of recent financial crises.
Download or read book Regulation written by Anthony I Ogus and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2004-10-15 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a reprint of Anthony Ogus' classic study of regulation,first published in the 1990s. It examines how, since the last decades of the twentieth century there have been fundamental changes in the relationship between the state and industry. With the aid of economic theory Anthony Ogus critically examines the ways in which public law has been adapted to the task of regulating industrial activity and provides a systematic overview of the theory and forms of social and economic regulation. In particular, he explores the reasons why governments regulate, for which, broadly speaking, two theoretical frameworks exist. First 'public interest' theories determine that regulation should aim to improve social and economic welfare. Second, 'economic' theories suggest that regulation should aim to satisfy the demands of private interests. The book also looks at the evolution of the forms of regulation in Britain, extending to the policies of privatization and deregulation which were so characteristic of the period. The author skilfully evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of the different forms of regulation, particularly in the light of the two theoretical frameworks, but also by involving an analysis of how firms respond to the various kinds of incentives and controls offered by government. A significant feature of the book is its analysis of the choices made by governments between the different forms of regulation and the influence exerted by interest groups (including bureaucrats) and EC law.

Book Synopsis BBC licence fee settlement and annual report by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Culture, Media and Sport Committee
Download or read book BBC licence fee settlement and annual report written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Culture, Media and Sport Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-05-19 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Culture Media and Sport Committee says that the main outcomes of the BBC Trust's strategic review do not move the BBC on to the extent required by current circumstances, and that the incoming Chairman will have much to get grips with. The new licence fee agreement was reached "unexpectedly" in October 2010 between the Department for Culture Media and Sport and the BBC, but without any time for wider consultation with viewers or Parliament. The Committee believes the agreement reached is a reasonable one, but the process undermined confidence in both the Government's and the BBC's commitment to transparency and accountability. On the partnership between BBC and S4C, it is unclear how S4C can retain its independence under the new arrangements. It is extraordinary that the Government and the BBC should agree such wide-ranging changes without consultation or giving S4C any notice or say at all. The Committee is particularly concerned that National Audit Office still does not have the promised access to conduct independent assessments of the BBC's value for money. The Committee is also disappointed that banded information on talent salaries is still not in the public domain. The BBC opened itself to predictable ridicule with the decision to hire a "migration manager" who had to commute from the United States to manage the transition to the new Salford site. The report concludes that big questions remain over how radically the BBC needs to reconfigure both content and delivery in the years ahead.

Book Synopsis The Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law by : Michael Faure
Download or read book The Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law written by Michael Faure and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on experiences with the Anti-Monopoly Law (AML) of 2007 in China. It uses carefully-chosen case studies to examine how the competition authorities in China discuss cases and how they use economic reasoning in their decision-making process. Bringing together comparative perspectives, the expert contributors discuss the practice of the Anti-Monopoly Law in China from the viewpoints of European and American competition policy. Several very current topics are given specific attention, including enforcement, the role of the state, how to define the relevant market and how to apply the AML to regulated industries. The book also indicates the scope for mutual learning on how to improve the AML. The Chinese Anti-Monopoly Law will appeal to competition lawyers, attorneys-at-law dealing with economic law generally, civil servants and policy makers, comparative lawyers and social scientists with an interest in developments in China.
Book Synopsis Law and Corporate Behaviour by : Christopher Hodges
Download or read book Law and Corporate Behaviour written by Christopher Hodges and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 831 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the theories and practice of how to control corporate behaviour through legal techniques. The principal theories examined are deterrence, economic rational acting, responsive regulation, and the findings of behavioural psychology. Leading examples of the various approaches are given in order to illustrate the models: private enforcement of law through litigation in the USA, public enforcement of competition law by the European Commission, and the recent reform of policies on public enforcement of regulatory law in the United Kingdom. Noting that behavioural psychology has as yet had only limited application in legal and regulatory theory, the book then analyses various European regulatory structures where behavioural techniques can be seen or could be applied. Sectors examined include financial services, civil aviation, pharmaceuticals, and workplace health & safety. Key findings are that 'enforcement' has to focus on identifying the causes of non-compliance, so as to be able to support improved performance, rather than be based on fear motivating complete compliance. Systems in which reporting is essential for safety only function with a no-blame culture. The book concludes by proposing an holistic model for maximising compliance within large organisations, combining public regulatory and criminal controls with internal corporate systems and external influences by stakeholders, held together by a unified core of ethical principles. Hence, the book proposes a new theory of ethical regulation. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's International Arbitration online service.
