商品描述

This book brings together diverse ideas on selected facets of globalisation and transitions in globalisation. The scholars that have contributed to this book examine the phenomenon of globalisation through varied lenses, focusing specifically on the human and economic perspectives. These analyses originate in many areas and different legal systems but are all connected through the work of Professor John Farrar and the associations of the contributors with him.

This book does not attempt to provide answers to the many challenges of globalisation. Instead, this book discusses selected, particular aspects of globalisation that derive from and are connected to the authors' own research. The thematic diversity of this book is a true strength and should draw a broad range of readers. Whilst this book is primarily written from a legal angle, its content overlaps with broader specialised policy areas, with contributions ranging from taxation to ageing, from insolvency to social licences, and from refugees to the treatment of first nations people. In short, there is something for everyone in this book.

As a tribute to the life's work of an outstanding legal scholar, Professor John Farrar, this book explores legal responses to the social and economic impacts of globalisation. After personal acknowledgments from colleagues highlighting the significance of his scholarship, this book is divided into two parts. The first part addresses the social impact of globalisation, focusing on immigration and the impact on First Nations people. Changes in the regulation of medicine and technologies related to ageing are also addressed in this part. In part two, the book addresses the transitioning corporate law landscape and notions of fairness and good faith in the law. The final part contains the conclusions, reflections and synthesis of the editors.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書匯集了關於全球化及其轉型的多元觀點。貢獻於本書的學者們透過不同的視角來檢視全球化現象,特別聚焦於人類與經濟的觀點。這些分析源自於多個領域和不同的法律體系,但都與約翰·法拉教授的研究工作及其貢獻者的關聯相連。

本書並不試圖解答全球化所帶來的諸多挑戰。相反地,本書討論了源自於作者自身研究的特定全球化方面。這本書的主題多樣性是一大優勢,應能吸引廣泛的讀者群。雖然本書主要從法律的角度撰寫,但其內容與更廣泛的專業政策領域重疊,貢獻範圍涵蓋稅收、老齡化、破產、社會許可證,以及難民與原住民族的待遇。簡而言之,本書對每位讀者都有所裨益。

作為對傑出法律學者約翰·法拉教授一生工作的致敬,本書探討了法律對全球化社會與經濟影響的回應。在同事們的個人致謝中,強調了他學術研究的重要性,本書分為兩部分。第一部分探討全球化的社會影響,重點關注移民及其對原住民族的影響。本部分還涉及與老齡化相關的醫療和技術規範變化。在第二部分中,本書探討了企業法的轉型景觀以及法律中的公平與善意概念。最後一部分包含編輯的結論、反思與綜合。
