After Libra, the e-CNY and COVID-19: the new world of money and payments
No full textFacebook’s stable cryptocurrency, COVID-19, and China’s central bank digital currency, the e-CNY, have caused a reorientation of monetary and payment systems around the world. Ross P. Buckley, Douglas W. Arner, Dirk A. Zetzsche, and Anton Didenko envisage three emerging design choices for these systems, reflected in centralised, decentralised and hybrid models. They predict that the advent of national monetary competition through major economies’ sovereign digital currencies will be one of the defining developments of the next decade
Catocala becheri Borth, Kons & Saldaitis 2017
No full textCatocala becheri Borth, Kons & Saldaitis, 2017 (Figs. 1–3, 7) Catocala becheri Borth, Kons & Saldaitis, 2017, Bulletin of the Peabody Museum of Natural History 58(1): 48, Figs. 1A–D, 2A, 2B, 3, 4, 5A, 5B, 6A, 7A, 7B, 8A, 8B, 9A, 8B, 10A 10B. Type locality: Vietnam, Da Nang, Ba Na Mt., 850 m. Material examined: in addition to the 6 male specimens in the type series (see Borth et al. 2017), we examined the following specimens: 1 ♀ (Fig. 1), [Vietnam] Lam Dong, V.2016, collector unknown, slide AV2912 ♀ Volynkin (coll. Sergei Didenko, Moscow, Russia); 2 ♀ (Fig. 2), Vietnam, Kon Tum, Ngok Linh mts, 1700 m, V.2016, leg. J. Babics, slide JB2448 ♀ (coll. Helmut Seibald, Vienna, Austria); 1 ♀ (Fig. 3), Vietnam, Bach Ma Mtn., III.2017, Thanh Lunog Le and 1 ♂, Vietnam, Axan Mtn., V.2017, Thanh Lunog Le (coll. Robert Borth, Mequon, USA). Diagnosis of female. Females of C. becheri show no consistent differences in wing pattern and coloration from males. A detailed comparison of wing pattern of species belonging to C. intacta and the much smaller C. hoferi with that of C. becheri is presented in Borth et al. (2017) (Figs. 1, 2). Female genitalia of C. becheri (Fig. 7) have a basally broader, shorter right lobe of the antevaginal plate and a smaller corpus bursae than C. intacta (Fig. 8 and Fig. 11: H in Borth et al. 2017). Description of female genitalia (Fig. 7). Papillae anales long, narrow, apically rounded, with long setae basally; apophyses anteriores and posteriores long and narrow but apophyses anteriores shorter than apophyses posteriores. Antevaginal plate (7th abdominal sternite) broad, short, with deep and narrow concavity, strongly asymmetric: its left lobe long and curved at right angle, and right lobe significantly shorter with arcuate, wavy ostial margin. Antrum long, narrow, strongly sclerotized, dorsoventrally flattened, posteriorly broadened. Ductus bursae short, narrow, membranous, with sclerotized plate in its medial section. Posterior section of corpus bursae relatively narrow, sack-like; anterior section of corpus bursae broad, globular. Distribution. C. becheri is only known from the Central and Central Highland regions of Vietnam (Thừa Thiên- Huế, Kon Tum, Quảng Nam, Quảng Ngãi Provinces and Lâm Đồng). Note. The 658 base pair COI 5’ sequence of the female specimen (Fig. 1, DNA no. 22005- 150516 -VI) differs from that of the holotype from Central Vietnam and one other male by 2 base pairs by 0.31%, and from C. intacta from Nepal (Fig. 1: E in Borth et al. 2017, DNA no. 22025- 250515 -NE) by 2.66%. The recently sequenced specimen of C. intacta from Nepal differed from four sequenced specimens of C. intacta from Japan and China by 2.82% but no differences in male genitalia were observed.Published as part of Volynkin, Anton V., Borth, Robert J., Didenko, Sergei & Saldaitis, Aidas, 2017, Description of the female of Catocala becheri (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) in Zootaxa 4347 (3), DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4347.3.13, http://zenodo.org/record/104857
Challenges to effective treaty-making in contemporary transnational commercial law: lessons from the Cape Town Convention
No full textThis thesis is the first detailed and comprehensive research of the history of the 2001 Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment (the 'Convention' or 'CTC') and its protocols. It is submitted that the quality of response to the various challenges of the treaty-making process can serve as a measure of a convention's success, and that the unique characteristics of the CTC make it a prime target for such research. The author identifies and analyses the most problematic issues in the process of development of the Convention and its protocols, including the latest draft protocol on mining, agricultural and construction equipment. This research focuses on the documentary history of the CTC and its Aircraft Protocol (as the only protocol currently in force), relying primarily on the materials published by UNIDROIT and other international organisations, and shows that not all of the challenges found an adequate response in the Convention. Nonetheless, the shortcomings pale in comparison with the Convention's achievements: the CTC has created a highly effective machinery for regulating international interests in mobile assets. The author does not perform empirical ex post analysis of implementation of the Cape Town Convention, but this thesis will form a solid background for such research in the future. This study, apart from its scholarly importance, has clear practical value: its conclusions (including a number of treaty-making lessons originating from this research) can assist governmental officials, representatives of international organisations and legal advisors (both external and internal) participating in the treaty-making process and, it is hoped, will strengthen he attractiveness of conventions as an instrument of harmonising commercial law in the future.</p

Regulating FinTech: Lessons from Africa
No full textTechnological innovation in finance (“FinTech”) has been on the rise in recent years, creating new challenges for regulators. These challenges vary significantly depending on the region in question and type of economy, not least because different technologies are applied to tackle different problems. This Article focuses on regulatory frameworks of two leading jurisdictions in terms of FinTech development in Sub-Saharan Africa: Kenya and South Africa. As the developments in the region cannot be analyzed in isolation from the global trends in FinTech regulation, this Article approaches the matter systematically. It starts by clarifying the existing terminology and preparing a comprehensive matrix of various challenges in FinTech regulation: in doing so, it does not take the interests of innovation promotion for granted and adopts a balanced approach, weighing various—often mutually exclusive—considerations against each other. This Article also argues that rule of law challenges, rather than technical problems, remain the key obstacles to adequate FinTech regulation. It then proceeds to discuss the specific regulatory issues in two African jurisdictions that are current regional leaders in the FinTech space—Kenya and South Africa. Finally, this Article concludes by synthesizing a set of recommendations for improving the FinTech regulatory systems in the two countries, in the light of the earlier matrix of regulatory challenges. Many findings in this Article (such as the need for improved methodology of social and economic impact analyses and various policy considerations for structuring the FinTech regulation) are relevant outside the African context and have universal application

The Cape Town Convention ::a documentary history /
No full text"This book is the first detailed and comprehensive research of the history of the Cape Town Convention and its protocols. It critically engages with the challenges faced by the developers of this treaty, analyses thousands of pages of archived materials and derives important lessons for the development of transnational commercial law globally. The book is an invaluable addition to the existing literature on the Cape Town Convention. It also informs the debate about harmonisation of secured transactions regimes generally, and as such will be of interest to academics, legal practitioners and the judiciary involved in secured transactions law around the world. Practising lawyers will better understand the rationale behind the key provisions of the Cape Town Convention, while the treaty-making lessons will assist governmental officials, representatives of international organisations and legal advisors engaged in harmonisation of commercial law. The text covers all four protocols to the Cape Town Convention, including the MAC Protocol adopted on 22 November 2019 in Pretoria."-
