Developing Protocols for Court-to-Court Communication in Transnational Insolvency Proceedings: A Limited Framework for Cooperation
No full textWhen global enterprises face insolvency, the expense of parallel insolvency proceedings in jurisdictions where the enterprises do business or have assets can deplete the funds available for distribution to creditors in a liquidation, or available for corporate restructuring. Recent trends show courts cooperating across jurisdictions to streamline the process and reduce costs. This trend has been facilitated by adoption of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, and courts in different countries holding joint hearings. While cooperation and coordination are often necessary, courts in most jurisdictions are not authorised to discuss cases with external parties, including foreign courts, outside formal channels. To address this problem, the last few years have seen several courts adopt guidelines allowing parties to establish protocols that permit court-to-court communication. This chapter addresses the recent developments and challenges in facilitating cross-border judicial cooperation directed at reducing the costs of transnational insolvencies
Strategic Communications for Influence: Lessons From the Annie E. Casey Foundation and Its KIDS COUNT Initiative
Get PDF· This article describes how the Annie E. Casey Foundation is using the KIDS COUNT Network in a new way: as a strategic communications tool in its focused efforts toward policy change, broad social change, and improved conditions for vulnerable children and families. An outcome map illustrates links between this strategy and the intended outcomes.
· Case illustrations of KIDS COUNT grantee activities surrounding the release of the 2008 KIDS COUNT Data Book describe the efforts of grantees in six states where the quantity and quality of media coverage surrounding the national data book reflected the kind of coverage that Casey believes will help achieve its desired outcomes.
· Strategic communications approaches such as relationships with journalists, use of locally relevant information, use of locally relevant media advocacy strategies, good preparation, and a solution orientation were present in states demonstrating desirable media coverage.
· Prescribing specific communications tactics matters less than supporting the network’s general capacity to engage in year-round strategic communications approaches to create conditions (e.g., reputations, relationships) that will contribute to successful media advocacy related to a specific event such as the release of the national data book

Human and Economic Perspectives of Globalisation: An Introduction
No full textIn examining the ever-evolving phenomenon of globalisation, and its human and economic impacts, the contributors to this book draw on their own diverse perspectives from different legal systems and present a range of related yet different topics. It highlights how advancements in trade, technology, and corporate governance have transformed economies worldwide. To this end, the chapter emphasizes that globalisation extends beyond corporate law and banking, impacting social issues and human discourse. In exploring these themes, the authors also pay tribute to Prof John Farrar, with whom they have had a close connection, and honour the many areas of law to which he has contributed throughout his career in academia. In the first part, the authors consider the human and social impact of globalisation, through examination of topics including immigration, First Nations people, ageing, and the regulation of medicine and therapeutic goods and pharmaceutical products. In the second part, the authors reflect on the economic aspects of globalisation and debate nuances of corporate law, including the concept of a corporation’s social licence to operate, and international perspectives on cross-border insolvency. The discussions also include an analysis of the impact of global crises on central banks, and improvements in tax treaty-related disputes between jurisdictions. The last chapter examines the scope of corporate responsibility to a range of new stakeholders, reflecting changed relationships between hard and soft law and morality. Together, the chapters capture the multifaceted struggle of the law to adapt to the ever-changing social, business, and economic landscape carved by globalisation
Concluding Thoughts on Globalisation and the Contributions of Emeritus Professor John Hynes Farrar
No full textThe diverse themes outlined in this book underscore the chimeric nature of globalisation. Attempts to understand its direction is an ongoing endeavour. The essays contributing to this book are a fitting tribute to a true scholar of globalisation and its legal aspects. New themes of globalisation are constantly emerging that challenge conventional wisdoms and moral standards at the heart of mercantilism. Welfare of the people (the young, the old, the first nations, the downtrodden), animals, and the natural environment are no longer optional themes. Rather, they are the very reasons that legitimise or de-legitimise new trends in globalisation. The modern corporation (the rolling stock of globalisation) is under new stressors and many governmental bodies are constrained to work with foreign actors and regulators to find new solutions to keep the wheels of globalisation running. Meanwhile, globalisation trends continue to emerge, presenting growing opportunities and new challenges
Peer Networking and Community Change: Improving Foundation Practice
Get PDF· This article brings together the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 15 years of experience with peer networking— examining through two research studies the process of peer networking and its impact, both with community-based and funder groups.
· Peer networking helps people with common interests to exchange information, disseminate good practices, and build a leadership structure for work they do together, such as a community change initiative.
· Casey’s research identified 10 good practices for effective peer networking, as well as 10 challenges that can affect its success; a four-level model was created to provide context for these findings.
· The research indicates that peer networking can have significant impact for communities and in meeting philanthropic goals, but it is costly and must be carefully structured if it is to be successful.
· Casey is working to synthesize its peer networking practices into a more strategic framework, and other foundations might use some of its lessons learned to enhance their own practices in this area
