Law and policy of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) ::prospects and challenges for trade and investment in Africa / Tapiwa Victor Warikandwa, Howard Chitimira, Patrick C. Osode, editors.
No full text"The Africa We Want" has developed as a critical long-term development strategy for the African continent -- and has never been more relevant than in this book, which provides a thorough examination of the African Continental Free Trade Area's role in expanding intra-African commerce and strengthening Africa's trade position in the world market. Gathering chapters written by experts on commercial law, economic law, international trade law and related fields, it seeks to answer the following question: what are the issues that influence the African Continental Free Trade Area's potential and challenges? The book provides an in-depth analysis of various contemporary aspects within the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), as well as country-specific case studies and comparative analyses of selected developments that inform the AfCFTA. As the authors show, the AfCFTA faces substantial and numerous challenges that include the existence of different regulatory environments in different countries, political instability, technical and technological shortcomings, businesses' inability to obtain credit from banks, among other issues. This book will appeal to trade lawyers, economists, financial and prudential regulation analysts, researchers, policy and development analysts, government officials, among others. The book highlights the undeniable need for adequate continental legislative and policy frameworks to facilitate intra-Africa trade, foreign direct investment, and ease of doing business on the continent

Dr. Patrick C. Bratton, US Army War College director of South Asian Studies, reviews Grant F. Rhode’s “valuable contribution to [the] literature” that “[brings] attention to many of Eurasia’s often-forgotten maritime powers and conflicts.” Bratton highlights the particular value of Rhode’s “excellent” case studies “that deserve attention” and explains the book’s utility for policymakers while also providing a thoughtful critique of the book’s framing devices.https://press.armywarcollege.edu/parameters_bookshelf/1067/thumbnail.jp

No full textMeasuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method
No full textIn this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;

The leave of court requirement for instituting derivative actions in the UK : a ten-year jurisprudential excursion
No full textThe judiciary-exclusive role to allow or deny the commencement
or continuation of contemporary derivative litigation is one of the
critical aspects of such proceedings. Before the 2006
codification, derivative actions were brought under the common
law as exceptions to the rule in Foss v Harbottle (1843) 67 ER
189. However, after realising intolerable deficiencies in the
common law, the United Kingdom Law Commission (the Law
Commission) recommended that there should be a new
derivative procedure that met modern demands. This resulted in
a statutory derivative remedy which can be activated in terms of
Chapter 1 of Part 11 of the Companies Act, 2006 (United
Kingdom). The effectiveness of legislative regulatory devices
generally, and commercial law-related ones in particular, may to
a greater extent depend on judicial interpretation and
application. A conservative and literal interpretive approach that
is purpose-neutral will significantly undermine the prospect of
the current derivative remedy regime’s achieving the intended
policy objectives. To that end, this contribution examines several
court decisions handed down after the enactment of the 2006
Act and spanning over a period of approximately ten years.
Ultimately, it will be considered whether the leave requirement
in English derivative litigation is proving to be an invaluable and
indispensable procedural prerequisite or an implausible barrier
to honest litigants
