Small States in a Legal World, Paperback / softback Book

Small States in a Legal World Paperback / softback

Edited by Petra Butler, Caroline Morris

Part of the The World of Small States series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book is a unique collection of high quality articles analysing legal issues with particular regard to small states.

The small states of the world differ considerably in their geography, history, political structures, legal systems and wealth.

Nevertheless, because of their size, small states face a set of common challenges including vulnerability to external economic impacts such as changing trade regimes and limited ability to diversify economic activity; limited public and private sector capacity, including the legal and judicial infrastructure; a need for regional co-operation; a vulnerability to environmental changes as well as a limited ability to engage with supranational bodies and the forces of globalisation.

This is the first volume of an exciting and unique new series, The World of Small States.

In this work, legal experts from small jurisdictions and those with a particular interest in legal issues facing small states explore inter alia ethics in small jurisdictions, legal education and the profession in small states, the challenges facing small states with mixed legal systems, the constitutional arrangements in small states, small states as tax havens, and intellectual property and competition law issues.
