Language and Law
The book provides an overview of EU competition law with a focus on the main developments in Italy, Spain, Greece, Poland and Croatia and offers an in-depth analysis of the role of language, translation and multilingualism in its implementation and interpretation. The first part of the book focuses on the main developments in EU competition law in action, which includes legislation, case law and praxis. This part can be divided into two subparts: the private enforcement of EU competition law, and the cooperation among enforcers, i.e. the EU Commission, the national competition authorities and the national courts. Language is of paramount importance in the enforcement of EU competition law, and as such, the second part highlights legal linguistic skills, showcasing the advantages and the challenges of multilingualism, especially in the context of the predominant use of English as the EU drafting and vehicular language. The volume brings together contributions prepared andpresented as part of the EU-funded research project “Training Action for Legal Practitioners: Linguistic Skills and Translation in EU Competition Law".
Women, Agency and Religion
On both Mediterranean shores, women’s agency is articulated by new social and legal actors that face the religious factor both as an asset and as a brake. This book explores how female agency is defined and takes place in the region. The collection brings together contributions of both theoretical and thematic nature mapping various experiences on the public role of women in the Mediterranean context. In particular, the book relates the two sides, observing affinities and differences in the affirmation of women’s agency. This synoptic approach avoids essentialist contraposition and dialectic between different cultural, religious and political universes and emphasizes the role of a common...
Diversity, Fear and Religions
This book investigates ways ‘the Other’ can be both a cause of and an answer to religious and cultural fears. The multi-layered question of cultural and religious diversity has received some attention recently both in academic and policy circles. The authors of this work address this issue by focusing on fears and phobias, and the ways they are historically and sociologically produced and reproduced in a Global Era. The volume presents examples of fears related to different cultures and religions from a multidisciplinary perspective. Some of these have been provoked or sublimated by religious fundamentalisms, and a double ignorance, that is, ignorance of and about fundamentalisms, which ...
Human Rights, Religions and the United Nations Agenda 2030
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, represents more than a roadmap of goals. It articulates a vision of deep transformation, calling for a rethinking of economic models, cultural values, ecological responsibilities, and social structures. While often framed in terms of political action and technological innovation, the Agenda's deeper ambitions demand an ethical and spiritual reorientation. In this light, religious traditions are not peripheral to the global sustainability conversation—they are essential interlocutors. Human Rights, Religions and the United Nations Agenda 2030 investigates how diverse religious and cultural actors are engagin...
Verhaltensorientierte Realoptionsbewertung von Investitionsprojekten
Marius Wittke stellt fest, dass kognitive Verzerrungen fehlerhafte Projektentscheidungen verursachen können. Dadurch ergeben sich Realoptionswertminderungen, die eine Überbewertung von Handlungsflexibilitäten nach der klassischen Realoptionsbewertung zur Folge haben. Es gelingt dem Autor, den Einfluss der Informationsgüte sowie kognitive Verzerrungen in die Bewertung von Investitionsprojekten zu integrieren. Seine Analyse zeigt, dass kognitive Verzerrungen wie der Confirmation Bias oder der Sunk Cost Bias einen Erklärungsbeitrag zu Projektanomalien wie dem Escalation of Commitment liefern, woraus sich Anknüpfungspunkte für mögliche Gegensteuerungsmaßnahmen ergeben.

Contemporary Issues in Islamic Law, Economics and Finance
This book explores how Islam can impact the structures and performance of firms, financial institutions and capital markets across a range of countries and industries. The Islamic finance industry represents an important reality not only because of the oil wealth of the Gulf states, which have fueled demand for such financial services, but also for an increased demand from a growing Muslim population in the West that aspires to express a full and all-inclusive religious identity. The increased demand for Muslim financial institutions has prompted Western non-Islamic firms to begin providing these services in an interesting effort of acculturation to the new plural scenario. By adopting a mul...
