The Tyranny of Light:The Temptations and the Paradoxes of the Information Society
Authors: Tsoukas Haridimos 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The advent of the ‘information society’ (or ‘knowledge society’) has been enthusiastically hailed by several authors (Bell 1999; Drucker 1993; Nais bitt 1982; Thurow 2000; Toffler 1971). A society in which a wealth of information is immediately available for use by anyone concerned seems to fulfil the modern dream of the knowledgeable individual who, freed from the shackles of ignorance, can think for himself/herself and can undertake informed, responsible action. Indeed, a society in which information has become the most valuable resource holds out the promise, or so it seems, of the realization of one of the most cherished values in the western tradition: the making of a transparent, self-regulated society (Brin 1998; cf. Vattimo 1992). The assumption has been irresistibly powerful since the first days of the Enlightenment: the more human beings know, the more able they will be to control their destiny.
Chaos, Complexity, and Organization Theory
Authors: Tsoukas Haridimos 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
AT first glance it might seem odd that organization theory should concern itself with chaos. Since the study of organizational phenomena is its raison d’etre, it could plausibly be argued that organization theory has very little (if anything) to do with the study of the absence of organization; that is, with the study of disorganization or chaos. Such an argument, however, would not be convincing. Moreover, not only can organization and disorganization not be separated (one presupposes the other-see Cooper 1986); the very concept of disorganization, upon closer inspection, does not make much sense.
Complex Thinking, Complex Practice: The Case for a Narrative Approach to Organizational Complexity
Authors: Tsoukas Haridimos , Hatch Mary Jo 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A central assumption in organization science has been that organization is an intrinsic feature of the social world. Social systems in general, and business organizations in particular, are thought to be organized in one way or another, and it is the task of organization scientists to find out how and why. To this end two schools of thought can be broadly distinguished. One is sociological-historical-anthropological in orientation; it seeks to produce ac counts explaining the specific features of organization(s), either by employing what Mohr (1982) called the ‘variance model’ of explanation, or through tracing back the lineage of organizational features to historical-cum-institutional or cultural factors (e.g. Geertz 1973; Granovetter 1992). There is a great deal of methodological and theoretical diversity within this school, but there is also a common theme: the social sciences can offer an account of social organization.
Noisy Organizations: Uncertainty, Complexity, Narrativity
Authors: Tsoukas Haridimos 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Noise destroys and horrifies. But order and flat repetition are in the vicinity of death. Noise nourishes a new order. Organization, life and intelligent thought live between order and noise, between disorder and perfect harmony. If there were only order, if we only heard perfect harmonies, our stupidity would soon fall down towards a dreamless sleep; if we were always surrounded by the shivaree, we would lose our breath and our consistency, we would spread out among all the dancing atoms of the universe.
Institutional Transformation and System Change: Changes in the Corporate Governance of German Corporations
Authors: Lane Christel 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
After the collapse of state socialism, the focus of debate in the social sciences came to rest on differences within the capitalist world between different models of capitalist organization. Just ten years on, the debate has shifted further, and now there are being voiced both triumphant claims and fears that one model of capitalism-that of competitive or liberal market capitalism-is reshaping the institutions of other models. The fundamental and long-established differences between what has come to be known as organized or coordinated market economies and competitive or liberal market economies are said to be in the process of erosion.
Canadian Copyright Law and Its Charters
Authors: Gendreau Ysolde 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
More often than not, contemporary copyright debates focus on the advent of the digital world and on its impact on the evolution of copyright law. Commentary on the digitization of works, multimedia creations, internet transmissions, technical protection measures, and other technological issues abounds in conference papers and publications all over the world. The issues at stake are serious and so much attention is indeed warranted. Arising out of this movement has been a discussion on the effect of the extension of copyright in this new context on fundamental freedoms and rights. Thanks to proverbial hindsight, it seems surprising that such discussion has not been more prominent in the pre-digital age. There is nothing specifically technological about a conflict between copyright law and fundamental rights and freedoms. Once again, it appears that the digital revolution has helped to bring to the fore a strategic component of copyright law.
First Amendment Speech and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act: A Proper Marriage
Authors: Nimmer Raymond T 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
During the past three decades, our world has experienced the greatest explosion in innovation and the dissemination of information ever seen. Not co incidentally, this period also involved an expansion of intellectual property and other rights in information. Largely ignoring the connection between these two events, however, a group of academics and members of the public insistently campaign for narrowing property rights in information and retrenchment in areas of law such as copyright.
History of Universities
Authors: Feingold Mordechai 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Volume XIX/2 of History of Universities contains the customary mix of learned articles, book reviews, conference reports, and bibliographical information, which makes this publication such an indispensable tool for the historian of higher education. Its contributions range widely geographically, chronologically, and in subject-matter. The volume is, as always, a lively combination of original research and invaluable reference material.
The Lost Library of Nicolas de Nancel
Authors: Sharratt Peter 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The present study aims to make accessible a little-known Latin document, first published in 1603, which contains a lively account of the reading, writing, and editorial practice of a late-Renaissance poly–math, and sheds new light on contemporary authorship and publishing in France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and the Low Countries. Its author, Nicolas de Nancel (1539-1610), pupil, then colleague, secretary and biographer of Peter Ramus, was a prolific writer on a great variety of subjects, a university professor (or rather teacher) in Paris and Douai (1562-4), a scholar, a translator and editor of Greek texts (most of which appear to have been lost), a mathematician and writer of medical treatises, as well as being a practising doctor in Tours from 1569, and at Font evrault from 1587 to the royal abbess, Éléonore de Bourbon, and her community of nuns.
The Ironies of Merit and Modernity
Authors: Rothblatt Sheldon 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
These three books are examples of the width of historical and sociological inquiry into higher education, the sub-fields that have long since arisen, and the particulate matter of which the university, the ‘multiversity’, and its history is composed. Of the three works, Daniel Guhr’s study of the policies and patterns governing access to higher education and Morton and Phyllis Keller’s comprehensive study of Harvard overlap in chronology and in one major theme. Consequently, two utterly different studies in tone, material and form unexpectedly reinforce one another to a greater extent than does Colin Barr’s book on the formation of the Catholic University of Ireland. The first two cover the immediate past half century, while Barr takes us back to Victorian Ireland and to an historiographical dispute that, from a narrow present-day perspective, seems almost quaint.
Introduction
Authors: Bovis Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The regulation of public procurement in the European Union has multiple dimensions as a discipline of European law and policy, directly relevant to the fundamental principles of the common market, and as a policy instrument in the hands of member states. The purpose of the regulation of public procurement is to insert a regime of competitiveness in the relevant markets and eliminate all non-tariff barriers to intra-community trade that emanate from preferential purchasing practices which favour national undertakings.
The Judicial Nature of Public Procurement
Authors: Bovis Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The implementation of Public Procurement Directives by member states through the enactment of national legislation or the employment of administrative practices has been subject to judicial control at Community level and at national level. The judicial control of the implementation of the public procurement regime at Community level has a centralized orientation and reveals its horizontal effects, as it is directed to the demand side of the public procurement equation (contracting authorities) and focuses primarily on compliance procedures under Article 169 EC before the European Court of Justice, where the European Commission asks the Court to condemn a member state’s failure to comply with European Community law.
The New Public Procurement Regime
Authors: Bovis Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The process of the liberalization of public procurement in the European Union has two primary objectives: i) to achieve an open and competitive regime of public purchasing which would yield substantial savings to the public sector, and ii) to act as a stimulant for the much needed restructuring and adjustment of the European industrial base. When compared with other advanced integrated economic or political systems, the regulation of public procurement in the European Union has no precedence.
The Applicability of The Public Sector Rules
Authors: Bovis Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Public Sector Directive1 is applicable to the award of public contracts between economic operators and contracting authorities. The term ‘economic operator’ includes undertakings that are described as contractors, suppliers and service providers and has been introduced in the new Public Sector Directive for simplification purposes. On the other hand, the concept of ‘contracting authority’ embraces a variety of organizations that fall within the remit of the state, central or local government and also bodies which are governed by public law.
Public Contracts and Contracting Authorities
Authors: Bovis Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The European Court of Justice has been instrumental in interpreting the public procurement legal framework. The Court has provided intellectual assistance to the efforts of European institutions in order to strengthen the three principles (non-discrimination, objectivity, and transparency) underlying the regulation of public procurement, to eliminate discrimination and non-tariff barriers in the fields of technical standards (product specification and standardization) and the selection procedures (quantitative and qualitative suitability criteria).
Selection and Qualification
Authors: Bovis Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Court has approached very proactively the discriminatory use of specification requirements and standards. It established the ‘equivalent standard’ doctrine, where contracting authorities are prohibited from introducing technical specifications or trade marks which mention products of a certain make or source, or a particular process which favours or eliminate certain undertakings, unless these specifications are justified by the subject and nature of the contract and on condition that they are only permitted if they are accompanied by the words ‘or equivalent’.
Public Procurement and Public–Private Partnerships
Authors: Bovis Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
From a constitutional point of view, the state is under an obligation to provide a range of services to the public in the form of, for example, general infrastructure, healthcare, education, housing, transport, energy, defence, social security, and policing. Traditionally, the state either in its own capacity or through delegated monopolies and publicly controlled enterprises has engaged in market activities in order to serve public interest.
Opening Heaven’s Gates
Authors: Saward John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Beneath the vault of Heaven stands the Cross of Christ, and at the foot of the Cross kneels a Carthusian monk. The top of the Cross’s upright beam touches the lower folds of our Lady’s robe of blue, as if to indicate that the immaculate beauty is the fruit of the Tree of Life. Underneath the kneeling Carthusian is the Empty Tomb, the tomb the Son of God Himself emptied when He rose from the dead in the flesh, thereby, as the Easter Sunday Collect says, conquering death and opening up for us an entrance to eternity (aeternitatis aditum).
Ave Regina Caelorum
Authors: Saward John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The Three Divine Persons crown our Lady as Queen of Heaven. God the Father and God the Son breathe forth God the Holy Spirit, the Dove of Love, and as a gift of Their Love, under the wings of the Dove, They place the crown on the Blessed Virgin’s head. The angels are in the background, and the saints kneel or stand at a certain distance from the throne of God, but our Lady is entirely enfolded in the crimson copes of the Father and the Son, and the gold of her dress matches the panels on the copes.
Paired in Ceremony: Academic Inception and Trade-Guild Reception
Authors: Price B B 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Two medieval rituals of passage, the inception of a university student into the ranks of his academic masters and the reception of an artisan into the company of his craft’s masters, were strikingly similar in their formalities, albeit they belonged to distinctly different spheres. An attempt will be made here to describe these similarities and to establish their significance. In the first two sections, the similarities in the formal aspects of the inception and the reception process, long observed, will be outlined. The third section—introducing primary documents—will discuss the interesting relationships these similarities in the inception and reception rituals bespeak, owing to their analogous forms, to shared sources of inspiration, and to their contemporaneous use. Relying on the importance of the evolutions of the respective rituals as well as their contemporaneous uses, the influence of the institutions of the trade guilds on those of the academic sphere, while it has not been proven, will be asserted. The conclusion notes that the similarity of the rituals most significantly reflects the similar functions of the two types of masters’ associations in the thirteenth century.
Credit Risk
Authors: Benjamin Joanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Part I provided a conceptual overview of the scheme of the book. This involved a series of five structures. The first is the introduction of varied risks into the financial system in the form of credit risk; this is the subject of section 2.1 of this chapter. The remaining four structures are the four types of ﬁnancial position, namely simple, funded, net, and asset-backed. These are discussed in Parts 2 to 5. (The ﬁnal Part 6 seeks to draw this material together, through an analysis based on regulatory projects.)
Comparison Of Simple Financial Positions
Authors: Benjamin Joanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Chapter 4 above provided a brief introduction to the legal and commercial natures of guarantees, insurance, derivatives, standby credits, and performance bonds. This section offers a comparison of these five different categories of simple position in terms of: functions (section 5.1), risk of non-payment (section 5.2); documentation (section 5.3); regulatory capital treatment (section 5.4); the need
Options For Raising Capital
Authors: Benjamin Joanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This section relates to the options available to the company wishing to raise corporate finance, and considers in turn: the distinction between debt and equity (section 8.1.1); bank loans (section 8.1.2); capital markets (section 8.1.3); and convergence between syndicated loans and Eurobonds (section 8.1.4).
Overview
Authors: Benjamin Joanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Part IV relates to net positions. Chapter 12 considers the procedures of set off and netting that give rise to such positions. Chapter 13 turns to one important use of net positions, namely the title transfer collateral arrangements which provide the legal bases for most EU financial collateral arrangements. Chapter 14 assesses the rise of net positions, and links this with the decline of property rights in the financial markets.
Overview
Authors: Benjamin Joanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Part V relates to asset-backed positions. As briefly explained in section 1.4, these are a development of funded positions (such as bank loans and investment securities), in which the credit exposure of the position taker is addressed by earmarking particular assets to meet its claims. Such earmarking in relation to the corporate fund of a limited liability company was discussed in section 2.4. Other important forms of asset backing involve the assertion of property rights; these are briefl y considered in Chapter 16.
Property Rights
Authors: Benjamin Joanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This Chapter 16 relates to property rights. It considers in turn: personal rights and property rights (section 16.1); legal and equitable property rights (section 16.2); property in claims (section 16.3); the requirement for ascertainment (section 16.4); the requirement for publicity (section 16.5); consensual property rights (section 16.6); equitable property remedies and related processes (section 16.7); and priority (section 16.8).
Indirectly Held Securities
Authors: Benjamin Joanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Part V concerns asset-backed positions, under which the risk taker’s claims are supported by earmarked assets. This earmarking usually takes the form of property rights (although in the case of the corporate fund, neither shareholders nor general creditors have property rights in the corporate assets). One asset class in which property rights are routinely asserted in the ﬁnancial markets is investment securities. However, operational change in the securities markets, and particularly the indirect holding pattern discussed below, has altered the legal nature of these assets, and raised certain legal challenges to the assertion of property rights in them.
Judges, Markets, And Consumers
Authors: Benjamin Joanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The FSA is obliged to balance the needs of markets with those of consumers. This requires fl exibility, as the correct balance may not be clear until matters have played out. It will be argued in section 27.4 below that principle based regulation (PBR) provides the necessary flexibility. Judges seek to achieve the same balance in their decisions, and also require flexibility in order to respond appropriately to events as they unfold. The strong commitment in English case law to protecting future judicial discretion is evident in the tendency to avoid extrapolation, and to tie judgments closely to the particular facts of the case.
The Fiduciary Project
Authors: Benjamin Joanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
If a central concern of the arm’s length project of regulation is that risk should be taken with informed consent, the central concern of the fiduciary project is that trust should not be abused. The fiduciary project has entered the financial markets because risk is typically taken through legal structures, whereby clients’ assets and/or liabilities are controlled by an intermediary. Intermediaries are used because direct access to the markets and their infrastructure is heavily restricted for risk management and operational reasons.
The Consumerist Project
Authors: Benjamin Joanna 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
If the arm’s length project is strong and gaining strength, and the fi duciary project weak and in decline, the consumerist project occupies an intermediate position in the fi nancial markets. It is not equal to the arm’s length project, but it is gathering force. Whereas the moral aim of the arm’s length project is the informed consent of the position taker to risk, and that of the fi duciary project the respect of trust by intermediaries, the aim of consumerism is fairness for classes of person deemed (sometimes artifi cially) to be economically weak.
The President and the King
Authors: Reynolds David 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Late on June 7, 1939, a reigning British sovereign set foot on American soil for the first time. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth crossed the border into the United States at Niagara after a three-week tour of Canada. Behind the scenes there were many misgivings. This was only the second state visit that the shy young monarch had made since he succeeded his brother, Edward VIII, in December 1936.

Abstract
appointment as Ambassador in 1941 provide two case studies in the intricacies of Roosevelt’s diplomacy. They also offer a telling contrast with Churchill’s style as war leader. Whereas the Prime Minister loved the dramatic public gesture, the President preferred the nudge here and the wink there. This was partly because of the political constraints imposed on him before Pearl Harbor by congressional and public opinion but it also reacted his machiavellian nature, which revelled in plots and schemes. ‘

Just before lunch on Tuesday 13 October 1942 the British War Cabinet assembled for a hasty meeting in the Prime Minister’s room in the House of Commons. Sandwiched on the agenda between discussion of the impending visit of the South African premier and the arrangements for celebrating Armistice Day was a unique item, one on which no less than six different Cabinet ministers had submitted papers.
Exemptions from the Prohibition—Section 153 of the Companies Act 1985
Authors: Roberts Catherine 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Having set out the general prohibition on financial assistance in section 151 of the Companies Act 1985, the legislation goes on to provide for a number of specified exemptions. The exemptions in section 153 of the 1985 Act apply toboth public and private companies. A special restriction applicable to public companies limits the availability of the exemptions in section 153(4). There is a wholly distinct statutory regime provided for in sections 155 to 158 (inclusive) of the 1985 Act in respect of solvent private companies. Provided that there is due and proper compliance with this statutory regime, a solvent private company may give financial assistance.
