Globalisation in Transition: Human and Economic Perspectives

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。
