China is now the second largest economy in the world after the United States of America and is deemed to be the most influential member of the group of leading emerging economies, the so called BRICS partnership consisting of Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa.

Exiting The Euro, Frederick V. Perry, Wendy Gelman
Exiting The Euro, Frederick V. Perry, Wendy Gelman
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
The Crisis in the Euro Zone threatens to break up the Euro and perhaps derail the European Union itself. Many argue that a Member State exiting the Euro would be not only unthinkable, but also a practical impossibility, given the status of the “constitutionality” of European law, the treaties forming the European Union and the Euro, and customary European law. Europeans have been, for centuries, very creative in forging economic and trading alliances—some that appeared to be political alliances and even elementary union. They have also, on more than one occasion, attempted to confect monetary stability. Some of these attempts …

The Sovereign Debtor's Prison: Analysis Of The Argentine Crisis Arbitrations And The Implications For Investment Treaty Law, Robert M. Ziff
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Over the last six years, several arbitration panels have released opinions in a series of disputes raised by investors against Argentina. In each case, foreign investors claim that Argentina's use of price controls and currency devaluation following the 2002 economic crisis constituted a violation of bilateral investment treaty obligations. Despite the fact that most claimants make identical allegations, many of these decisions are highly contradictory. In some cases Argentina is absolved of liability, while in others Argentina is held liable for hundreds of millions in damages. In aggregate, the claimants seek enough money to bankrupt the Argentine Republic.

Doing Business In Egypt After The January Revolution: Capital Market And Investment Laws, Radwa S. Elsaman
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Despite the Egyptian economy’s remarkable growth during the last decade, unequal treatment at law and unfair distribution of wealth led to the Revolution on January 25, 2011.

These two branches of business law have undergone many developments over the years, which have improved them significantly. Legal compliance, however, remains a major concern. This Article surveys the economic activity in Egypt from a legal perspective. It evaluates Egyptian laws affecting economic activity by analyzing the …

Stakeholder Theory In Corporate Law: Has It Got What It Takes?, Andrew Keay
Stakeholder Theory In Corporate Law: Has It Got What It Takes?, Andrew Keay
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
There has been much debate for many years regarding what should be the objective of the large public corporation. This issue is important for a number of reasons, not least of which is that the theory nominated will underpin corporate governance and dictate, to a large extent, the kind of corporate governance system that will exist. As far as the corporation’s objective is concerned, two theories have been dominant: the shareholder primacy theory and the stakeholder theory. The former is operative in what I will call “Anglo-American jurisdictions,” namely jurisdictions that model their law and practice on one or both …
