Perspectives on Cooperative Law
This book contributes to the development of literature on cooperative law while paying tribute to Hagen Henrÿ’s significant impact on this field at a global scale. Hagen Henrÿ is one of the most influential scholars in the field of cooperative law. His primary contribution has been in the area of public international cooperative law. His other areas of scientific interest include development law and comparative law. This honorary volume is focused on two main axes -- the essence of cooperatives as well as their activities and their governance. The contributions throw light on how these two axes are addressed by cooperative legislation across countries, regions and continents. In the varied perspectives that the contributions put together, both a theoretical and practical approach, the authors address central, current and crucial issues for the development of cooperative law. The book is a great resource for researcher scholars, as well as policy makers and industry players interested in the topic.
Instruments of EU Corporate Governance
European Company Law Series, Volume 19 Compelling new perspectives on corporate governance – including attention to increased shareholder engagement, long-term value creation, and sustainability – have given rise to major changes in the management of companies.

Nineteen well-known scholars of business and cor...
O Regime Económico das Cooperativas no Direito Português
Centrando-se no capital social, esta obra pretende ser uma reflexão sobre os aspetos mais significativos do regime económico das cooperativas no Direito Português: o regime jurídico das entradas para o capital social nas cooperativas, o confronto entre aquelas e a chamada «massa de gestão económica», a determinação e distribuição de resultados, as funções do capital e das reservas, nomeadamente as reservas obrigatórias, e a problemática do aumento e redução do capital social cooperativo. Além disso, tendo como assente que a questão do capital diz respeito aos fundamentos do sistema económico cooperativo, procuraram-se respostas jurídicas adequadas para alguns dos proble...
O Contrato de Seguro entre a Liberdade Contratual e o Tipo
Na era da revolução digital, o Insurtech proporciona inéditas soluções de gestão de riscos que conjugam liberdade contratual com novas tecnologias, como sejam o peer to peer insurance ou os seguros paramétricos. Neste quadro de inovação tecnológica e financeira, o presente estudo interpela o artigo 1.o do Regime Jurídico do Contrato de Seguro dedicado ao conteúdo típico para o interrogar sobre o tipo legal de contrato de seguro, tomando como fundamento o princípio da liberdade contratual. Porque o tema é complexo, a obra estrutura-se em três partes. A primeira identifica as fontes do contrato de seguro e questiona a relação entre a imperatividade e a não imperatividade na era digital. A segunda investiga a caraterização tipológica do contrato de seguro. A última parte reflete sobre o contrato de seguro perante os desafios da inovação.

Derecho de seguros
Siendo las publicaciones en materia de seguros especialmente numerosas por el interés que suscita la cuestión y, de modo singular, en época tan convulsa, de creación de nuevas figuras contractuales, de nuevos sistemas de contratación, de nuevos sujetos u operadores (con un estatuto propio), de reiterada necesidad de protección del contratante débil, de evaluación constante de una ley en casi permanente estado de reforma o sustitución por un nuevo texto legal, de nuevas entidades y sujetos que ofrecen coberturas y de nuevos riesgos, se ofrece en el presente libro una visión general del Derecho de seguros. Nuevas realidades y nuevos retos. Ese es su título y su modesta pretensión: ...
