Managing 'belt and road' business disputes: a case study of legal problems and solutions/ edited by Michael Moser, Chiann Bao.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."Managing 'Belt and Road' Business Disputes: A Case Study of Legal Problems and Solutions" is a follow up to the comprehensive "Managing Business Disputes in Today's China: Duelling with Dragons" (2007) guide on foreign direct investments disputes that can arise in the course of initiating and operating a Chinese joint venture. Since its inauguration by the Chinese government in 2013, the "Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI) has included projects in more than 70 countries spanning diverse economic and legal environments. The nature of the BRI coupled with the economic downturn as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic will inevitably generate more challenges than ever. Like its predecessor, this book poses a hypothetical scenario in order to explore the potential issues that may arise from Chinese-foreign business relationships in the BRI context.Introduction / Michael Moser & Chiann Bao -- The Scenario / Michael Moser, John Choong, Chiann Bao & Chan Yong Wei -- Dispute Settlement Options : An Overview / Michael Moser, John Choong & Campbell Herbert -- Informal Dispute Settlement Approaches / Helen Tang -- Arbitration Inside China / Arthur Ma & Sharon Yang -- Arbitration Outside China / Cameron Hassall & Dominque Yong -- International Commercial Courts / Anselmo Reyes -- Treaty Framework / Matthew Hodgson -- Investment Treaty Remedies / Nils Eliasson -- Litigation in China / Fang Zhao, Jiji Wu & Ruowen Wang -- Force Majeure and Hardship Tai-Heng Cheng & Jennifer Lim / Chinese SOEs and Their Investments along the Belt and Road / Cao Lijun -- Construction Contracts And Disputes / Nicolas Wiegand, Mariel Dimsey & Tom Proestler -- Project Finance / Matt Secomb & Philip Tan -- Corruption and Bribery / Louie Llamzon -- Sanctions / Meg Utterbeck -- Climate Change Dispute Options / Judith Levine & Nicola Swan -- Enforcement of Dispute Outcomes / Friven Yeoh & Yan Zhang -- Case Management Strategy : Forming the Right Team : Third-party Funding, Experts, Investigators and Other Services Providers / Peter Yuen -- Endgame / Michael Moser, Chiann Bao, John Choong & Chan Yong Wei.1 online resource (xxxvi, 465 pages)
Michael Moser and the first Austro-Hungarian East-Asian expedition 1868-1871
No full textIm Herbst 1868 stach die erste österreichisch-ungarische Südostasien-Expedition in See. Die lange geplante, jedoch immer wieder durch politische und finanzielle Gründe verschobene Mission sollte den wirtschaftlichen Horizont der Monarchie erweitern. Die Aussicht auf die Möglichkeiten des seit 1859 in Bau befindlichen Suezkanals sollte dem Hafen von Triest einen enormen Aufschwung und eine zentrale Stellung im internationalen Handel bescheren. Daher wurde die Expedition finanziert, um mit Ländern Ostasiens, hauptsächlich mit Siam, China und Japan Handelsverträge abzuschließen. An Bord der Schiffe war zum ersten Mal bei einer österreichisch-ungarischen Mission ein Fotograf, um wissenschaftliche und kulturelle ?Kuriositäten? festzuhalten. Diese Stelle hatte der Wiener Fotograf Wilhelm Burger inne, der seinen 15jährigen Gehilfen Michael Moser aus Altaussee mitnahm. Die Expedition dauerte fast ein Jahr, bis sie über Teneriffa, Kapstadt, Singapur, Bangkok und Hongkong in Yokohama ankam. Nach Abschluss der Verhandlungen zerstreute sich die Expedition und der Fotografengehilfe Michael Moser blieb allein und ohne Sprachkenntnisse zu besitzen in Japan. Glückliche Fügungen bescherten einen gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg und so kam er für die japanische Regierung als Dolmetscher zur Wiener Weltausstellung 1873. Er entschloss sich jedoch, wieder nach Japan zurückzukehren um dann in Philadelphia 1876 nochmals als Übersetzer tätig zu sein. Er fuhr aber nicht mehr nach Japan zurück, da er nach einer schweren Erkrankung die Heimreise bevorzugte. Er baute sich in Aussee ein Fotoatelier auf und betrieb es mit einem seiner Brüder und später mit seiner Frau Fanny. Er trat einmal noch in die Dienste der Japaner, als er wieder als Dolmetsch auf der Weltausstellung 1878 in Paris arbeitete. 1912 starb Moser in Bad Aussee im Alter von 59 Jahren als wohlhabender Unternehmer und gewandter Weltreisender.In the autumn of 1868 the first Austro-Hungarian South-East Asian Expedition set sail.The mission which had been planned for a long time but repeatedly postponed, due to political and financial reasons, had the aim of broadening the Monarchy?s economic horizon. The Suez Canal, which, since 1859, was in the process of being built, offered the port of Trieste the prospect of many possibilities for an increase in prosperity and a central position for international trade. For this reason the expedition was financed to arrange trade agreements between East Asian countries, mainly with Siam, China, and Japan. A photographer was on board an Austrian-Hungarian mission for the first time to record scientific and cultural ?curiosities?. The Viennese photographer Wilhelm Burger held this position and took along his 15 year old assistant Michael Moser from Altaussee. The expedition to Yokohama via Tenerife, Cape Town, Singapore, Bangkok and Hong Kong lasted almost a year. After completion of negotiations the expedition members scattered leaving the photographer?s assistant Michael Moser alone in Japan with no knowledge of the language. Lucky coincidences brought about a rise in his social standing and so he represented the Japanese government as interpreter at the Viennese World Exhibition in 1873. However he decided to return to Japan and in 1876 he worked once again as a translator in Philadelphia. He did not return to Japan due to a serious illness, preferring to go back to his homeland. He built up a photographer?s studio in Aussee with his brother and later his wife Fanny. In 1878 he once more worked for the Japanese as an interpreter at the World Exhibition in Paris. In 1912 Michael Moser died at the age of 59 in Bad Aussee as an affluent businessman and renowned world traveller.vorgelegt von Maximilian Johann PürcherAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung der Verfasserin/des VerfassersGraz, Univ., Dipl.-Arb., 2012Zsfassung in dt. und engl.

International arbitration ::when East meets West - liber amicorum Michael Moser /
No full textAs Asia, China, in particular, gains economic momentum and increasingly attracts global attention, disputes between Asian and Western parties will inevitably increase. This book, the first to address issues arising from these types of disputes in depth, collects incisive articles by both well-known Asian arbitrators and non-Asian practitioners with extensive experience dealing with arbitrations involving Asian parties, all under the aegis of Michael Moser, a Western-trained lawyer who had the foresight to build a China-focused dispute resolution practice at a time when it was not fashionable to do so. The articles reflect Moser's exemplary career as an independent arbitrator who has navigated between Asian and Western legal cultures seamlessly for decades. The upshot is an authoritative investigation of the differences and similarities of international arbitration between two contrasting cultures - both from a legal and social perspective - as well as a consideration of how each culture has influenced international arbitration practice overall

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
International Arbitration: When East Meets West : Liber Amicorum Michael Moser
No full textAs Asia, China, in particular, gains economic momentum and increasingly attracts global attention, disputes between Asian and Western parties will inevitably increase. This book, the first to address issues arising from these types of disputes in depth, collects incisive articles by both well-known Asian arbitrators and non-Asian practitioners with extensive experience dealing with arbitrations involving Asian parties, all under the aegis of Michael Moser, a Western-trained lawyer who had the foresight to build a China-focused dispute resolution practice at a time when it was not fashionable to do so. The articles reflect Moser's exemplary career as an independent arbitrator who has navigated between Asian and Western legal cultures seamlessly for decades. The upshot is an authoritative investigation of the differences and similarities of international arbitration between two contrasting cultures–both from a legal and social perspective– as well as a consideration of how each culture has influenced international arbitration practice overall. Issues covered include the following: interim measures in support of arbitration; the hybrid arbitration-mediation mode of dispute resolution; what China's investment treaties have to offer; Moser's ‘Triple A'approach to mediation; witness conferencing; influence of of rang (¿), or exercise of altruism; Chinese courts'approach to international arbitration; evolution of investment protection between China and Europe; disclosure versus state secrecy laws in China; and the standard for disclosure in rules of evidence. Given the increasing prevalence of arbitrations seated in Asia and the number of new players engaged in arbitration in Asia, this book is certain to attract a wide range of arbitration practitioners, especially those engaged in arbitrations involving Asian parties. As a comparative study of Asian and Western arbitration theory and practice, it is peerless. Scholars of arbitration worldwide are sure to learn from the insights detailed here of practitioners with consummate experience in arbitrations involving cross-cultural parties
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
