The European company law action plan revisited
reassessment of the 2003 priorities of the European Commission
2011 || Paperback || Koen Geens e.a. || Universitaire Pers Leuven
The harmonisation of company law has always been on the agenda of the European Union. Besides the protection of third parties affected by business transactions, the founders had two other objectives: first, promoting freedom of establishment, and second, preventing the abuse of such freedom. In fact, the fear of the Netherlands becoming the Delaware of Europe' (in terms of competition among Member States) seemed real, until, ironically, at the beginning of the 21st century, it was the privi...

groups for entertainment as well as political agitation.
Despite wide research on the Soviet and German cases, examples from

aspects of plutarch’s philosophy of nature
2015 || Hardcover || Michiel Meeusen e.a. || Universitaire Pers Leuven

His writings teach us a lot about his perception of physical reality and about his attitude to the natural spectacle. He found his greatest inspiration in the ontological and epistemological fr...

The Neo-Latin Epigram
a Learned and Witty Genre
2011 || Paperback || Susanna De Beer e.a. || Universitaire Pers Leuven
The epigram is certainly one of the most intriguing, while at the same time most elusive, genres of Neo-Latin literature. From the end of the fifteenth century, almost every humanist writer who regarded himself a true poeta had composed a respectable number of epigrams. Given our sense of poetical aesthetics, be it idealistic, post-idealistic, modern or post-modern, the epigrammatic genre is difficult to understand. Because of its close ties with the historical and social context, it does...
