International Water Treaties: Negotiation and Cooperation Along Transboundary Rivers (Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy)
by Shlomi DinarAs demand for fresh water rises, together with population, water scarcity already features on the national security agenda of many countries. In this book, Dinardevelops a theory to explain solutions to property rights conflicts over shared rivers. Through systematic analysis of available treaty texts, corresponding side-payment and cost-sharing patterns are gleaned. Geographic and economic variables are used to explain recurring property rights outcomes. Rather than focusing on a specific river or particular geographic region, the book analyzes numerous rivers, dictated by the large number of treaty observations, and is able to test several hypotheses, devising general conclusions about the manner in which states resolve their water disputes. Policy implications are thereby also gained. While the book simultaneously considers conflict and cooperation along international rivers, it is the focus on negotiated agreements, and their embodied side-payment and cost-sharing regimes, that justifies the use of particular independent variables.

Internationale Fälle der Corporate Governance
by Jean Jinghan ChenDieses Buch bietet Einblicke in aktuelle Fragen der Corporate Governance, indem es zwölf Fälle aus den 2010er und 2020er Jahren untersucht, in denen die Corporate Governance als problematisch angesehen wurde. Die Fälle sollen den Leser mit Episoden aus dem "wirklichen Leben" vertraut machen, die Auswirkungen auf die Corporate Governance haben. Sie beleuchten, warum es immer wieder zu Unternehmensskandalen kommt, inwieweit diese auf ein Versagen der Corporate Governance zurückzuführen sind und auf welche Weise die Corporate Governance - und das Verhalten derjenigen, die für eine gute Governance und eine ethische Kultur in ihrem Unternehmen sorgen - in Zukunft verbessert werden kann. Dieses Buch ist für Unternehmer, Studenten der Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Juristen von Interesse und regt zur Diskussion über die Gründe an, warum die Corporate Governance versagt hat oder als unzureichend angesehen wurde.Dieses Buch stellt die Übersetzung einer englischsprachigen Originalausgabe dar. Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz erstellt (maschinelle Übersetzung mit DeepL.com). Eine anschließende manuelle Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem nach inhaltlichen Gesichtspunkten, so dass das Buch stilistisch von einer herkömmlichen Übersetzung abweicht.
