This book examines how race, ethnicity, and religious difference affected the concession of citizenship in the Spanish Empire's territories.
This discerning book examines good governance developments concerning anti-bribery efforts in the US and the UK, recognising that with each new major case of corporate malfeasance the parameters of directors’ duties change and expand. Taking this expansion of roles and expectations into account, and acknowledging the respective increase in exposure to civil, criminal and reputational liabilities, Patrick J. O’Malley compares the fundamental national compliance experiences of the US and UK. Investigating anti-bribery, corporate and securities law and guidance, this engaging book explores systemic expectations of directors, executive officers and compliance personnel in public and private companies.
We are standing on the threshold of the robotic era, the fourth industrial revolution. The undeniable impact and consequences of robotics are already raising economic concerns, such as the loss of income tax revenue as robots gradually replace human workers, as well as legal doubts regarding the possible taxation of robots or their owners. Financial law must adapt to this new reality by answering several crucial questions. Should robots pay taxes? Can they? Do they have the ability to pay? Can they be considered entrepreneurs for VAT purposes? These are just some of the many issues that Dr. Álvaro Falcón Pulido lucidly and insightfully addresses in this fascinating new monographic work, which includes an exhaustive bibliography on the subject.
Hoy sabemos bien que la organización capitalista moderna se sostiene por diversos y complejos mimbres. Uno de ellos es la fuerza de trabajo, que está compuesta por hombres asalariados que desarrollan diferentes labores en las empresas y fábricas, en los más variados sectores productivos. Los trabajadores prestan sus servicios, de modo autómata y en cadena, en los grandes centros de producción industriales. Junto a ellos, los directivos de las sociedades y corporaciones fijan la estrategia empresarial para la conquista de los mercados de consumo, y la generación de beneficios. El hombre asalariado y la tecnología son las bases del capital moderno. Si en las primeras etapas de la histo...
Denied citizenship by the Roman Empire, a soldier named Alaric changed history by unleashing a surprise attack on the capital city of an unjust empire. Stigmatized and relegated to the margins of Roman society, the Goths were violent “barbarians” who destroyed “civilization,” at least in the conventional story of Rome’s collapse. But a slight shift of perspective brings their history, and ours, shockingly alive. Alaric grew up near the river border that separated Gothic territory from Roman. He survived a border policy that separated migrant children from their parents, and he was denied benefits he likely expected from military service. Romans were deeply conflicted over who shoul...
"As III Jornadas Luso-Brasileiras de Responsabilidade Civil convidaram-nos a refletir sobre a relação entre a responsabilidade e a pessoalidade. Se com base no tópico "Pessoa, Direito e Responsabilidade" pudemos, durante dois dias, debater muitos e importantes aspetos dogmáticos da responsabilidade civil, tornou-se também evidente a negação do formalismo com que, noutras épocas, o direito foi mascarado. O encontro anual de juristas portugueses e brasileiros (mas também espanhóis e de outras nacionalidades) garantiu-nos, assim, a problematização do próprio sentido do direito que, radicando na ideia de autonomia personalista, necessariamente responsável, nos oferece o princípio ...

Considerando la extendida pobreza en las zonas rurales colombianas, la gran cantidad de terrenos baldíos y la necesidad de modernizar el sector agrícola, la presente tesis tiene como objetivo determinar si los terrenos baldíos de difícil explotación pueden beneficiarse de los fundamentos jurídicos y de la lógica eco- nómica del modelo contractual de la enfiteusis romana posclásica. A lo largo del trabajo se examina detenidamente la figura, desde sus orígenes en Grecia hasta su recepción actual en Latinoamérica, con el fin de determinar sus características en un periodo específico de la historia romana cuando aún no era un derecho real, sino un contrato entre los particulares y...
