Penguatan Kapasitas Lpd Desa Adat Di Bali Melalui Penyuratan Awig-Awig, I Made Suwitra, I Ketut Selamet, Luh Kade Datrini
Jurnal Hukum & Pembangunan
The Village Credit Institution (LPD) owned by Desa Adat in Bali is oriented to strengthen the economy of indigenous peoples (krama adat) through lending (loans) and savings. The main source of capital for LPDs is the commitment and trust of all village manners which are submitted through the Adat Village Management Board (Prajuru) and the LPD Board. The strengthening of LPDs is in its management and accounting system and its supervision, because it is not uncommon for LPDs that are already large due to weak monitoring systems, poor management and accounting systems to misuse LPD funds utilization which causes LPD …
Towards A Jurisprudence Of Public Law Bankruptcy Judging, Edward J. Janger
Towards A Jurisprudence Of Public Law Bankruptcy Judging, Edward J. Janger
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
In this essay Professor Janger considers the role of bankruptcy judges in Chapter 9 cases in light of the scholarly literature on public law judging. He explores the extent to which bankruptcy judges engaged in the fiscal restructuring of a municipality use tools, and face constraints, similar to those utilized by federal district court judges in structural reform cases, where constitutional norms are at issue.

Calling Space Traffic Control, Danielle Miller
ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law
The space environment (at least where the Earth’s orbits are concerned) is increasingly congested. As a natural result, collisions between space objects are becoming more likely and much more disastrous.
Shareholders Vs Stakeholders Capitalism, Fabian Brandt, Konstantinos Georgiou
Shareholders Vs Stakeholders Capitalism, Fabian Brandt, Konstantinos Georgiou
Comparative Corporate Governance and Financial Regulation
With the growth of the economies worldwide the debate between shareholder and stakeholder capitalism has never been more intense than nowadays. Each country though incorporates this debate differently in its interior market since its corporate governance’s structures present distinguished characteristics. Thus, by bringing into this debate countries like Germany and the USA, the distinction between shareholders and stakeholders’ interests becomes clearer. Countries based on the Anglo-Saxon business model like the USA are in favor of a “shareholder primacy” based system setting as their optimal goal the maximization of shareholder value. On the other hand, countries like Germany seem to have …
Interpreting, Stephanie Jo Kent
Interpreting, Stephanie Jo Kent
Doctoral Dissertations
What do community interpreting for the Deaf in western societies, conference interpreting for the European Parliament, and language brokering in international management have in common? Academic research and professional training have historically emphasized the linguistic and cognitive challenges of interpreting, neglecting or ignoring the social aspects that structure communication. All forms of interpreting are inherently social; they involve relationships among at least three people and two languages. The contexts explored here, American Sign Language/English interpreting and spoken language interpreting within the European Parliament, show that simultaneous interpreting involves attitudes, norms and values about intercultural communication that overemphasize information and discount …

The New Financial Assets: Separating Ownership From Control, Tamar Frankel
The New Financial Assets: Separating Ownership From Control, Tamar Frankel
Seattle University Law Review
In The Modern Corporation and Private Property, Adolf A. Berle and Gardiner Means wrote about the separation of ownership from control in corporations. They noted that the interests of the controlling directors and managers can diverge from those of the shareholder owners of the firm. . . . There are those who consider such a decoupling beneficial. Others express the same concern that Berle and Means have expressed. And depending on what one focuses on in viewing the pluses and minuses of these separations, one could reach different conclusions. I reach a number of conclusions. First, the separation of …

Marine Ecosystem Management & (And) A Post-Sovereign Transboundary Governance, Bradley Karkkainen
Marine Ecosystem Management & (And) A Post-Sovereign Transboundary Governance, Bradley Karkkainen
San Diego International Law Journal
This paper argues that for purposes of managing transboundary environment problems in general, and marine ecosystems in particular, the role of international law as traditionally understood is somewhat overrated. Binding international legal obligations owed by states to other states often turn out to be a good deal less important in environmental problem solving than is commonly supposed by many international lawyers, legal scholars, and environmental NGOs (non-governmental organizations). Specifically, this paper argues that emphasis on binding multilateral environmental agreements among sovereign states is often misplaced and possibly even counterproductive, insofar as it threatens to divert attention from more promising strategies …

In that context, and having regard to the different histories of Australia and Canada, this paper outlines the different strategies and emphases adopted recently by the two countries. These …

Australia And Canada In Regional Fisheries Organizations: Implementing The United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, Rosemary Rayfuse, Marcus Haward, Gregory Rose, Sali Bache
Dalhousie Law Journal
In the late 1980s and early 1990s a number of factors and events coalesced to encourage the international community to re-examine high seas fisheries issues. The need to enhance the effectiveness of regional fisheries organizations led to the development of the 1995 United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, dealing with straddling and highly migratory stocks. Both Canada and Australia played a significant role in the development of this agreement While having much in common, each state had different interests and concerns Canada's attention was focused on the problem of straddling stocks, while Australia 's interests have been primarily, though not exclusively, …
Liberalization And Politics Of Environmental Management In Tanzania, Alicia Bosensera Magabe
Liberalization And Politics Of Environmental Management In Tanzania, Alicia Bosensera Magabe
LLM Theses and Essays
This thesis examines the factors that have prevented the development of an environmental protection legal and institutional regime in Tanzania. It argues that the central focus of economic reforms has been to kick-start the economy by increasing growth through the maximization of resource exploitation. As a result, concerns for environmental sustainability have been relegated to the periphery of the development agenda. Secondly, as a result of domestic resource scarcity brought on by the economic crisis, environmental policymaking has been held hostage to the influence of foreign donors whose agendas have often been at cross-purpose to environmental protection. Thirdly, the nature …

Planning For High Net-Worth U.S. Persons Through The Use Of Offshore Life Insurance, J. Richard Duke
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Sophisticated planning for the high net-worth United States citizens often includes the use of offshore variable life insurance. Such leading edge planning is accomplished through structures that provide income, gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer tax planning not available domestically. In addition to providing sophisticated tax and estate planning benefits, variable life insurance policies issued by foreign-based carriers have numerous economic advantages.

Japanese-Style Worker Participation And United States Labor Law, William S. Rutchow
Michigan Journal of International Law
This note will evaluate the current legal status of Japanese-style worker participation programs under the NLRA. First, it analyzes relevant sections of the NLRA and their interpretation by the Board and the courts.

Third, the note considers standards the Supreme Court may adopt to test the legality of worker participation programs in the future. Finally, this note recommends that the Supreme Court uphold those participation programs which are freely chosen by employees.
