Path Dependence and Paradox in Harmonizing Out-of-court Procedures across Europe. The Evidence from Italy
2018
This paper focuses on the impact that the ‘new approach to business failure’ has had on Italian out-of-court procedures. It will demonstrate that in 2005 Italian law started to embrace the rescue culture of out-of-court procedures by means of a series of reforms; initially, this movement facilitated the incorporation of the ‘new approach to business failure’, but – and this is the paradox – the more law makers and courts remove the old paradigms and introduce new ones, which in principle could make the procedures smoother, cheaper and more efficient, the more the law in the book and the law in action appear to be overloaded with additional prerequisites which make the procedures cumbersome…
Le siège de l'arbitrage international
2021
In international matters, the arbitral tribunal has no choice but to settle in the territory of a State in order to render its award. The choice of this "host State" would then determine the seat of international arbitration. But what choice do we make? How? By whom ? What to do in case of uncertainty of this choice? What effects will this determination then have in creating the tribunal, in rendering and enforcing its award, or in choosing the applicable laws? There is no single answer to these simple questions. Indeed, international arbitration law attaches varying importance to the notion of seat, in the sense that it will depend primarily on one's vision of the place and source of arbit…

Rural restructuring and local/regional governance in the Baltic States after 1990
2009
The aim of this paper is to discuss the restructuring of primary sector dominant rural areas in the Baltic States with a special focus on local governance and administrative structures. In the theoretical part, we elaborate on a principal transformation model for Baltic rural areas. Despite similar macro-economic processes in all three Baltic States, local and regional governance has developed differently and hypothetically, this has had a different impact on the economic development of regions. We have used statistics, legal documents, small case studies, observations and secondary sources of some more detailed studies for this paper.
Nordic subsidiaries in the Baltic States: is model transfer possible?
2011
PurposeThis research seeks to ask to what extent model transfer in employee relations (in terms of employee representation, participation and workplace bargaining) occurs between Nordic and Baltic countries from the principal firm to the subsidiary. It also looks into explanations as to why model transfer occurs – or does not occur – from the perspective of the Nordic industrialist's labour management strategy.Design/methodology/approachThis is a case study comprising three clothing manufacturers and three engineering shops in different Baltic States: Estonia (population 1.4 million), Latvia (2.3 million) and Lithuania (3.4 million). These production sites have headquarters in three Nordic …
El pueblo de la Confederación suiza: su significación constitucional y composición
2016
ResumenEl pueblo, que se expresa como cuerpo electoral (o conjunto de ciudadanos que tras la mayoría de edad pueden ejercer los derechos políticos), es elemento constitutivo y constituyente de la Confederación (tanto en su dimensión federal como en la cantonal) y, a la vez, órgano supremo y primera fuente de legitimidad del ordenamiento constitucional suizo. El pueblo participa en las decisiones que comportan incorporaciones al mismo dando lugar en ocasiones a conflictos con las decisiones de las autoridades competentes.AbstractThe people who are defined as the electorate (the citizens who after the age of majority exercise in reality their political rights), are the constitutive and consti…
Elected and Unelected Institutions
2015
Having broken away from the Soviet Union, the Baltic states rapidly moved towards new constitutional orders more in line with the demands of the new democratic and market-economy framework that they were committed to building. The aim was to construct the major elected and unelected political institutions that would allow them to join the principal European organisations and usher in an era of boring normality. From what was a similar starting point, the Baltic states chose very different constitutional frameworks (although the demands of integration with the Western world has led to some institutional convergence). Nevertheless all three have largely achieved their ambition of making polit…
