Het mededingingsrecht is niet meer weg te denken uit onze economie en de maatschappij in het algemeen. Elke dag wordt wel ergens staatssteun uitgekeerd, een fusie aangemeld, een kartel opgerold of nagedacht over de vraag of er meer of minder concurrentie moet plaatsvinden in een bepaalde sector. Al deze vragen spelen in een weinig toegankelijk rechtsgebied waarin de beoefenaar een gedegen kennis van het recht moet combineren met economische, technische en politieke inzichten. Dit boek biedt e...

Killing innocent civilians must stop: PERIOD! In war-free time but first of all in war-time. War must not exist: PERIOD! The Secretary-General of the UN must report threats and threats are clearly before any war. These threats against “Peace and Security” must be reported to the Security Council. But still are many wars going on. So he doesn’t report on this effectively: is this due to a lack of facts and information or due to unfit for the job? Why did the Secretary-

General let the UN...

De wet leren is een taal leren. Europees recht leren is meerdere talen tegelijk leren. Europees recht leren in een Nederlandstalig onderwijsprogramma met Engelstalige docenten en studieboeken is een uitdaging op zich: Europees recht wordt in het Engels bestudeerd en moet in het Nederlands worden toegepast.

Deze tweetalige verzameling bevat naast Europese verdragen ook de belangrijkste wetgeving en is daarom ideaal om deze uitdaging aan te gaan. Dit boek presenteert elk artikel in beide talen,...

Legal English is a professional language. This means that a good command of ordinary English does not make a student automatically proficient in legal English. Many foreign law students on English language programmes experience problems when suddenly all their lectures, textbooks, discussions and written work have to be in English. A lack of familiarity with legal English canseriously impede their progress. And a command of legal English is not just a desirable academic skill. It has become a...

Vis-à-vis the absence of statutory provisions identifying the objectives of sentences, this book explores the law as it is with t...

Rethinking Choice of Law in Cross-Border Sales is an innovative, multi-disciplinary, and practice-oriented initiative to examine what factors determine the way contracting parties choose the law to govern their agreements. It presents ...
