In fact, the use of this jargon, mandated by many national and international authorities like the United Nations, makes regulatory compliance and safe transportation extremely uncertain. Existing references provide little help. Even the regulations supply only a limited number of descriptions of the terms.Glossary for the Worldwide Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Materials finally provides accurate, clear explanations of the terms used in worldwide transportation of hazardous materials. Written by a leading environmental and transportation consultant and educator, it is the principal reference for all shippers and transporters involved in the identification of dangerous goods and hazardous materials - the basis of all subsequent transportation requirements. ...

Product Description

Although international mergers continue to become more common, merger control regimes are wildly diverse, and there is no procedurally harmonized international system of merger notification. Instead, any one of the plethora of inconsistent regulations can hold up your transaction. The current edition of Worldwide Merger Notification Requirements evaluates the merger notification requirements of over 215 jurisdictions.

In this book, the leading authorities at White & Case provide a complete road map for parties contemplating a multinational transaction by highlighting the disparate ways in which competition authorities treat mergers, including differences in notification timing; filing fees; turnover, size, and post-merger market share thresholds; potential penalties; volume and type of required filing information; and the multitude of standards and definitions that pervade every multinational transaction. This is an easy way for you to avoid time-consuming and costly bureaucratic obstacles!

Wherever you may be advising on a merger, Worldwide Merger Notification Requirements will let you immediately determine:

• Where do I have to seek regulatory approval?
• When am I required to request approval: pre-merger, post-merger or is notification voluntary?
• Which countries do not require regulatory approval?
• How long does the approval process take?
• What key substantive issues will the agency examine?
• How much will it cost?
• And more!

Product Description
This new edition of a classic study assesses the global status of capital punishment.As in previous editions, this work draws on Roger Hood's experiences as consultant to the United Nations for the Secretary General's five-yearly surveys of capital punishment as well as the latest literature from non-governmental organizations and academic experts.

This edition examines significant developments around the world including the Chinese plan for the People's Supreme Court to review all death sentences, and the abolition in the USA of the death penalty for offenders who committed murder while under the age of 18. Recent legal challenges to lethal injection as a form of execution are also examined. This edition also includes an additional chapter on the role and influence of victims' families and victim interest movements.

This volume shows how, despite a number of set-backs, the movement to abolish the death penalty has continued to gather pace; that international organizations and human rights treaties continue to put pressure on retentionist countries; that further developments have been made in securing protection for those facing the death penalty in retentionist counties; and that, despite such advances, in some parts of the world the range of crimes subject to the death penalty remains wide and the number of executions considerable. This work engages with the latest debates on the realities of capital punishment, with claims that the death penalty is a unique deterrent to murder and other serious crimes, and contains expanded coverage of arguments about the role of public opinion in the debate on capital punishment. ...

Product Description
South Africa, Scotland and Quebec are among the seven major systems of "mixed jurisdictions"--legal systems with both a common and civil law content--analyzed in this comparative study. As well as the founding, raison d'etre and evolutionary tendencies of their mixed law components, Palmer also discusses the cultural divisions of the jurists and the internal contradictions between Anglo-American judicial institutions, methodologies and procedures, and the substantive civil law. He concludes that these jurisdictions form a closely related "Third Legal Family" with cohesive traits and tendencies. ... Read more

From the author: On average, 40 percent of US corporations with foreign source income are not taxable because they are in loss, and annually these loss firms are responsible for about 13 percent of foreign source dividend repatriations. Yet the repatriation behavior of these US parents in loss has largely been overlooked, both in policy analysis and in the economic literature. This study uses a balanced panel of US income tax returns from 1998 to 2002 in order to examine the repatriation behavior of US parents in loss. The panel data allows us to relate the repatriation behavior of individual US parents to their income status. The paper demonstrates that the unique incentives in loss years can cause the repatriation behavior in loss to differ systematically from repatriation behavior in income As a result of this finding, it may be prudent for those who analyze dividend repatriation to incorporate the unique incentives facing US parents in loss in order to improve the accuracy of empirical estimates of the effects of taxes on repatriation.
