The 2011 Regulation on the Causes of Civil Action of the Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of Chinaby Hongyan Liu; Yiliang Dong; Knut B. Pißler
Walter de Gruyter 2011; US$ 150.00In 2008 the Supreme People's Court (SPC) has promulgated the "Regulations on the Cause of Civil Action". The promulgation of the Regulations has significance in various regards. It clearly signals a new approach of the SPC to systemize and compile the status quo of the Chinese civil law system. The research compiled in this book is therefore going to the roots of the notion of law in China and to the relationship between claims arising from substantive law and the procedural arrangement to enforce these claims in civil procedure law. more...
Justice for Forestsby Marilyne Pereira Goncalves; Melissa Panjer
World Bank Publications 2012; US$ 14.99Every two seconds, across the world, an area of forest the size of a football field is clear-cut by illegal loggers. In some countries, up to 90% of all the logging taking place is illegal. Estimates suggest that this criminal activity generates approximately US $10-15 bn annually worldwidefunds that are unregulated, untaxed, and often remain in the hands of organized criminal gangs. Thus far, domestic and international efforts to curb forest crimes have focused on preventative actions, but they have had little or no significant impact. While prevention is an essential part of enforcement efforts to tackle illegal logging, it has not halted the rapid disappearance of the worlds old-growth trees. New ideas and strategies are needed... more...
