Control of mergers: A necessary role for the European Commission
No full textDr Fishwick has worked on developments in policy towards mergers for several years, including studies for the European Commission's Directorate-General IV. In this article, he specifically considers recent changes in merger policy in France, in the UK, and from the viewpoint of the European Commission. Increasing control over mergers is a very apparent trend, another in the general move towards liberalisation and deregulation inherent in "1992". The author argues that European Community control should outrank national policies since the emphasis of "1992" is more on the international aspects of competition activity than on the national.

Criminology, globalization and human rights
No full textCriminology is a relative late-comer to the study of the worst of crimes, like crimes against peace, genocide, torture and other gross human rights abuses. This historical neglect stemmed in large part from criminology’s provenance as an adjunct of modern government and its characteristic forms and practices of rule, what I have elsewhere referred to as Hobbesian criminology. For a very long time this caused criminology to focus almost exclusively on empirical inquiry, causal explanation and policy responses relating to everyday crimes against domestic order and the typically poor, young and powerless individuals who perpetrated them. Post war advances in international humanitarian and human rights law – alongside growing global awareness and activism around the atrocities perpetrated by states against their own citizens as well as other peoples - challenged criminology to redefine its intellectual and political horizons, a challenge most forcefully registered by Herman and Julia Schwendinger in their 1975 essay <i>‘Defenders of order or guardians of human rights?’</i> But in addition to these advances the constellation of forces grouped under the term ‘globalization’ have, since that essay was published, further seriously destabilized the old political, cultural and disciplinary boundaries within which Hobbesian criminology had nestled, creating further ‘pull’ factors for criminology to address new global disorders and human rights abuses. However, it is one thing to argue that criminology should take up this challenge; it is another to consider what it might bring to the table. After tracing this growing engagement of criminology and human rights, the chapter will consider some insights that criminology might contribute to human rights-based analysis of contemporary global disorders

No full textBook Prices in the UK Since the End of Resale Price Maintenance
No full textAbstract After the Net Book Agreement was abandoned in 1995 and struck down by the Restrictive Practices Court in 1997, retail book prices were widely expected to fall. Despite deeper and wider retail discounts, official indices show that book prices have subsequently risen more than general inflation. This apparent anomaly may be explained by an argument accepted at the 1962 Restrictive Practices Court hearing: that price competition would lead to concentration and greater buying power in bookselling and to bigger trade discounts from publishers, who would seek to maintain profits by raising list prices. Discounts by retailers would fail to compensate. Evidence provides some support for this explanation. While more research is required to confirm this analysis, it is relevant wherever there is debate about retention of resale price maintenance for books. It also supports the argument for case by case consideration of resale price maintenance, rather than condemnation on principleResale Price Maintenance, Book Publishing, Price Indices, K21, L40, L42, L81,
