Prospectuses
Authors: Veil Rüdiger 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe rules on securities prospectuses were first harmonized 45 years ago. Today, they are still at the centre of investor protection on the primary market and for the listing of securities. This chapter explains that the rules provided for in the Prospectus Regulation should be transferred to a European Capital Markets Code. However, a more principles-based approach needs to be adopted. Many of the rules in the Prospectus Regulation are technical in nature and can therefore be covered by a Level 2 Regulation. The European legislator should use the codification as an opportunity to further modernize investor protection through prospectus information. The system of continuous and integrated disclosure in the USA and the recent reforms in the United Kingdom provide models for this. In addition, regulating prospectus liability in a codification act throughout the Union will be essential in order to overcome fragmentation and ensure greater legal certainty both for issuers and investors.
Investment Services
Authors: Colaert Veerle 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis chapter deals with the question whether EU investment services regulation should be included in a European Capital Markets Code (ECMC), and if so, whether any changes to the current regime are necessary or highly desirable to make an ECMC feasible or to highly improve its logic or usefulness. For the purposes of this chapter, investment services are all services from financial intermediaries to individual clients with respect to investment products traded on regulated trading venues, or which derive their value from such products and therefore present similar risks to investors. They include services relating to financial instruments, structured deposits, crypto-assets, insurance-based investment products, personal pension products, and certain crowdfunding products. Via those investment services financial intermediaries give investors access to the capital markets, which would otherwise remain largely inaccessible to them. We argue that investment services regulation should therefore be a key part of the ECMC. However, to avoid unnecessary duplications, regulatory arbitrage, compliance difficulties, and ultimately investor detriment, the introduction of one single conduct of business regime for all investment intermediaries and investment products is advocated, even if this means that for certain investment products the current regimes would change quite substantially.
Addressing gender and innovation gaps
Authors: Barasa Laura 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Innovation generally takes place in male-dominated industries. A gender gap might therefore exist. This study used data from the 2015 Tanzania Firm-Level Skills Survey to investigate the gender innovation gap between female-owned enterprises and male-owned enterprises. A non-linear Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition was used to decompose the mean differences in innovation performance into the endowments effect that reflects resource endowments and the coefficients effect relating to resource utilization. The study found that female-owned enterprises faced lower probability of innovation when compared to male-owned enterprises. The endowments effect had a positive association with the gender innovation gap. In contrast, the coefficients effect was negatively associated with the gender innovation gap. Policies aimed at reducing gender inequalities in innovation need to strike a balance between enhancing resource acquisition by female-owned enterprises and improving resource utilization by their male counterparts to prevent reversals in the gender innovation gap.
After Copperfield
Authors: Bodenheimer Rosemarie , Davis Philip 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This brief aftermath chapter is framed by studies of two passages of confused, overwhelmed feeling in David Copperfield: Little Emily in near delirium after Steerforth abandons her in a strange land, and ‘Tempest’, in which unmoored David suffers the inner and outer tumult of the storm at sea that kills both Steerforth and Ham. The chapter also tries to capture the novel’s aura of kindness, admired by Tolstoy, where family feeling and generous action emerge from the deepest sorrows. The novel’s almost undefinable blend of comedy, ethics, and aesthetics stands out by contrast with the more relentless vision of loss and regret in Dickens’s later first-person retrospective, Great Expectations.
‘Like a Broken Glass’—Bleak House
Authors: Bodenheimer Rosemarie , Davis Philip 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The chapter begins with Dickens’s radical formal inventions. First, the panoramic multiplot puzzle in which clues lie hidden in every rift, and every small world is shadowed by some larger perspective that puts it in its place. Second, the carefully coordinated relationship between the omniscient narrator and Esther’s personal account. It asks why the two narrators need each other, and examines the seams between their sections. Esther’s vaunted ‘coyness’ turns into a psychological study of self-conscious writing undertaken for unknown reasons, by an existentially ungrounded mind who does not understand her own past. She struggles with a near-impossible temporality, present and past merging in her shadowy confusions. These questions widen out into readings of electrical brain connections and disconnections, with a focus on certain intense confrontations that strip away characters’ usual modes of feeling and speaking.
Chinese Investments in Europe
Authors: Roy Indrajit , Hu Ran 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
China’s rapidly rising investments in Europe have spawned anxieties about the future of the Liberal International Order. This introduction to the volume situates the puzzle of China’s growing resources vis-à-vis its limited influence. Departing from flattened perspectives that predict either inevitable conflict or assured cooperation, the introductory chapter urges readers to consider the extent, limits and modalities of China’s power. Its contribution is three-fold. Conceptually, the chapter offers a relational definition of power that pinpoints attention to the ways in which China translates its growing investments in Europe towards influencing the preferences of host countries. Empirically, it outlines the different modalities through which China harnesses the agency of European countries towards its own (fragmented) preferences. Theoretically, the chapter introduces a dynamic framework to understand the interaction between state-society relations in China with state-society relations in European countries to comprehensively appreciate the extent, limits and modalities of China’s influence.
Conclusion
Authors: Roy Indrajit , Eckhardt Jappe , Stroikos Dimitrios , Davidescu Simona 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The concluding chapter distils key highlights from the case studies. China’s enhanced footprint in Europe is of a piece with its growing investments in transnational infrastructures that shape the contemporary global political economy. The conclusion responds to anxieties that such investments threaten to revise, challenge, and overthrow the Liberal International Order. It draws on a selection of the case studies to highlight the role of European agency rather than Chinese investments in straining the liberal order. Chinese power is entwined with the agency of states and societies in Europe: it is effective to the extent that China can harness European agency in favour of its own preferences. But these preferences, as another selection of the chapters shows, are fragmented and messy and do not singularly focus on dismantling the liberal world order. Indeed, as a third selection of chapters illustrates, Chinese investments in Europe may even result in the unintended outcome of strengthening the Liberal International Order.
Information, Institutions, and Local Government in England, 1550-1700
Authors: Griffiths Paul 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Information, Institutions, and Local Government in England, 1550–1700 examines key shifts in local government when towns and villages developed information systems to levels of finesse that were distinctive. We have work on the central ‘information State’, but this book demonstrates that local magistrates relied on surveillance for what they called ‘good government’. England’s first nationwide system of incarceration inside bridewells developed over the same time. Government and regulation were turning inside, and a constant theme is the shifting balance and coexistence between ‘public’ (outside) and ‘private’ (inside) government and regulation. Age-old dependence on representing authority in public—‘manifestaccon’—remained, but many of its parts (e.g. civic rituals, clothing, or buildings) were coming under closer scrutiny. This was partly the consequence of sharpening ‘precyson’ in culture and government that put emphasis on being ‘exact’. One important part of ‘manifestaccon’, punishing petty offenders in public, began long-term transformations around 1600 with emerging vocabularies and practices of ‘private’ correction, whipping inside bridewells and civic buildings in particular. The steady spread of bridewells across England changed penal practices and cultures. They became indispensable for ‘good government’, with close conceptual and practical connections to developing local information systems through which quantification classification and recording made local government more effective. Based on research in nearly three dozen archives, Information, Institutions, and Local Government in England, 1550–1700 offers important new perspectives on local government, for example visual representation, penal cultures, institutions, incarceration, and surveillance.
The Wrong of Involuntary Displacement
Authors: Miller David 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
When people are forced to move away from their places of residence, either individually or collectively, we think that they have been seriously wronged. But the exact nature of this wrong is not so clear. After all, those who condemn involuntary displacement are often the same people who celebrate freedom of movement, including movement across national borders. After examining the different forms that involuntary displacement can take, this chapter identifies six distinct types of loss that may be suffered by the displaced. The author suggests that we can best understand the overall loss caused by displacement as loss of homeland. He claims that there is a human need to belong to a homeland, and defends this against the objection that this is a need experienced only by certain groups and individuals, while others favour mobility. He next examines the nature of the wrong that occurs when people are displaced against their will. Using Goodin’s distinction between means-replacing and ends-displacing compensation, the author shows that the displaced cannot be fully compensated for their loss. Finally he asks whether the right way to respond to this loss is to offer the displaced a choice between return, local integration, and resettlement as durable solutions to their predicament.
At Home in the World
Authors: Blake Michael 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter offers a philosophical reconstruction of the curiously ambiguous character of the specification of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. It argues that the Guiding Principles conflate two distinct ways in which physical space might be used to wrong individual persons which he labels social unfairness and social dislocation. The significance of this distinction is not simply to clarify wide and narrow senses of IDP, but to argue with respect to social dislocation that the nature of the harm it involves cannot be captured purely in terms of what such IDPs are displaced from; it also requires attention to what they are displaced to. IDPs are not simply displaced but often placed within circumstances within which their ability to plan and pursue plans of life are placed at risk. The chapter concludes by drawing attention to the implications of this argument for the international protection of IDPs.
Internal Displacement and International Protection
Authors: Beaton Eilidh 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
There are gaps in the existing protection regime for internally displaced persons (IDPs). This chapter argues that the IDP protection regime should be reformed to minimize these gaps, and defends a three-level protection framework structured around Francis M. Deng’s notion of ‘sovereignty as responsibility’. On this model, the international community would have an obligation to assist national authorities with IDP protection when needed, and a duty to act as surrogate protectors when national authorities manifestly fail to protect IDPs within their borders and refuse offers of international assistance. This latter obligation includes a duty to undertake limited forms of intervention in order to promote the protection of IDPs, as well as a duty to extend the right to refuge to IDPs with no recourse to their home government.
Internal Climate Displacement and Territorial Justice
Authors: Stilz Anna 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter develops an account of internal displacement based on territorial justice. It argues that the aim of territorial justice is to constitute a certain globally recognized status, the status of being an equal common possessor of the earth. As a common possessor, every inhabitant of the globe has a claim to a ‘place’ in the world where she can access minimally just material conditions and political institutions (basic justice); securely pursue her located social, cultural, and economic practices (occupancy); and exercise political self-determination in common with others (self-determination). By shrinking the supply, and changing the character, of the world’s habitable spaces through their carbon emissions, industrialized states are threatening occupancy, basic justice, and self-determination for people in other regions of the world. The author argues that the current internally displaced persons (IDPs) regime is too limited to justly address climate displacement and she concludes by considering what would be required to supplement this regime in order to secure territorial justice.
The Clairvoyant
Authors: Hayes Kelly E. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Chapter 2 follows the biography of Neiva Chaves Zelaya, the former truck driver and mother of four whose visionary experiences are the foundation and raison-d’être of the Valley of the Dawn. It traces her early life, marriage, and widowhood; her move to Brasília and the onset of her visionary experiences; and the establishment of her first spiritual community. After the dissolution of that group, Neiva founded OSOEC, later known as the Valley of the Dawn. There she met Mário Sassi, the man who would become her most important collaborator. By her death in 1985, Aunt Neiva had become one of Brazil’s most famous spirit mediums and the community that she established was the center of a burgeoning new religion with affiliated temples throughout Brazil and abroad.
A Space Age Religion for Modern Brazil
Authors: Hayes Kelly E. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Against those who dismiss the Valley of the Dawn as an escapist fantasy that provides followers with a fanciful alternative to the present, my research shows that the movement attracts members not because it offers a refuge from modern life but because it offers a different vision of modernity itself. One reason that the Valley is growing worldwide is because the number of people dissatisfied by both traditional religions and modern secular society is growing. In contrast to many people’s everyday experience, the Valley has created an orderly world structured by the principles of progress and justice, in which all are able to advance through hard work and merit.
Ebbing Tides
Authors: Devienne Elsa 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Chapter 7 analyzes how the consensus behind beach modernization efforts imploded in the late 1960s under the triple pressure of the modern environmentalist movement, the rise of the New Right, and controversy over oceanside high-rises. By the 1970s, most Angelenos perceived the beaches as natural spaces with a unique history that needed to be protected from the assault of developers and the wrecking ball. Meanwhile, in Orange County, resistance against “big government” championed by the New Right resonated with local beach homeowners who felt that “their” beaches should be closed off to outsiders. By the late 1960s, public beach acquisitions had come to a halt.
Sex
Authors: Rubio Julie Hanlon 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
This chapter wrestles with division between feminists and Catholics on the issue of sexual violence. Feminists have been on the front lines of movements to end violence against women since the 1960s, while Catholics have often been on the sidelines. Today, both groups condemn violence and share concerns about the sexual landscape, yet the church’s own failure on clergy-perpetrated sexual abuse and reticence to speak out on sexual violence remain. What can Catholics learn from feminists about the structural causes of violence? How can Catholics enrich the #MeToo movement? Despite enduring tensions with respect to sexuality, gender, and clergy-perpetrated sexual abuse; overlapping visions of good sex, shared recognition of structural sin or evil, and concern for human dignity provide a basis for dialogue and synergy. A Catholic and feminist approach to fighting sexual violence in the “space between” the personal and the political is both possible and necessary.
Marriage
Authors: Rubio Julie Hanlon 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Chapter 4 acknowledges strains of contemporary feminism in which the idealization of marriage and sexual fidelity are questioned and new configurations of love and family are advocated. It argues that while this strain of radical feminism stands in tension with earlier Catholic visions of family, most feminists have been reformists when it comes to marriage. It turns to modern Catholic theology, first- and second-wave feminists, and Catholic feminist marriage movements of the twentieth century as models for affirming feminist concerns about mutuality while not abandoning fidelity or the potential contribution of strong marriages to a better world. Shared Catholic and feminist commitments to love, justice, and acceptance of a diversity of households are offering as potential grounding for authentic Catholic feminist identity today. In the face of more popular departure narratives stressing the important of freedom from ties that bind, this vision of lifelong, egalitarian, outward-facing marriage offers a compelling alternative.
Life
Authors: Rubio Julie Hanlon 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
If Catholics are pro-life and feminists are pro-choice, it seems impossible to be both feminist and Catholic. Abortion is the first of several “hard cases” in the book. The author suggests proceeding by considering women’s stories of pregnancy, prenatal loss, and birth alongside abortion, centering women’s experiences and exploring the ways in which these experiences overlap. Bracketing intractable political arguments allows the author to uncover common threads of agency, relationality, and concern for the most vulnerable in women’s accounts of what it means to carry, lose, or give birth to new life. While focusing on stories does not yield political common ground, it does allow for constructive strategies of accompaniment. By taking seriously both Catholic valuing of unborn and women’s lives, and feminist accounts of women’s agency in the context of constrained choices, the chapter attempts to honor what is sacred to both feminists and Catholics, let unresolved tensions be, and seek unity in accompaniment.
Misplaced Ideas?
Authors: Palti Elías J. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Is there a Latin American thought? What are its characteristics and nature? What distinguishes it from the thinking of other regions? What are its main expressions in political, cultural, and social life? These questions have obsessed the thinkers of all times and countries in the region. The present book does not intend to answer these questions but will turn them into matters of critical scrutiny: How did they emerge? What kind of anxieties did they denote? It thus seeks to approach the issue from a historical-intellectual perspective, unraveling the epochal conceptual foundations on which the very interrogation of Latin American identity has been formulated and re-formulated. This is revealing of the intricacies of the dynamics of the production and circulation of ideas in the so-called peripheral regions of Western culture. The book thus takes the Latin American case as a platform to address theoretical issues whose relevance transcends the specific region.
Latin American Philosophy I
Authors: Palti Elías J. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Chapters 2 and 3 analyze the emergence in the 1970s of the “Latin American philosophy.” The former focuses, more specifically, on the historicist line of it, whose main representatives were Leopoldo Zea and Arturo Roig. This current intended to trace the genealogy of a distinct Latin American thought, its emergence and historical evolution. The hypothesis presiding over our approach is that, rather than describing an actual reality, these narratives are revealing of the concerns of the very intellectual milieu in which those narratives emerged. Ultimately, they provide fundamental keys to comprehend a critical moment in Latin American history, as well as the nature of the dilemmas that, at that juncture, obsessed an important sector of Latin American “lettered city.”
Latin American Philosophy II
Authors: Palti Elías J. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Chapter 3 analyzes the phenomenological current of “Latin American philosophy,” which spans from Rodolfo Kusch through Enrique Dussel. It recreates the intellectual operations and rhetorical devices put in each case at work for the construction of an image of that “being,” and how it became posited as standing in opposition to an authoritarian, imperialistic “Western rationality.” This is thus approached as a case of “inverted Orientalism,” a paradoxical example of self-exoticization. Ultimately, the images the Latin Americanist philosophers create of that Latin American being are like mirror images of their own present condition, reflecting their perplexities and conflicts in their attempt to come to terms with the postcolonial condition.
Revisiting the Topic of “Misplaced Ideas”
Authors: Palti Elías J. 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
Latin American philosophy co-existed and disputed with another important current, which was highly critical of its tenets: the so-called dependency theory. The creators of dependency theory rendered problematic the essentialist assumptions behind the perspectives that posited the presence of a “Latin American being” underlying cultural and historical evolution. It was denounced as a metaphysical illusion which prevented grasping the true origins and nature of the colonial or, more precisely, neocolonial condition of Latin America as an integral part of world capitalist system. Roberto Schwarz proposed translating the postulates of the dependency theory to the field of cultural theory. He provided an insight into the complexities of the dynamics of ideological processes and the circulation of ideas in the peripheral areas of Western culture. This chapter seeks to highly de deeply problematic nature of the conceptual issues the dependency theorists intended to consider, and proposes some alternative theoretical frameworks to approach those issues.
