Book Description
La 4e de couverture indique :"Ce volume rassemble des études portant sur l’évolution des groupes de statut composant la main-d’œuvre agricole au Proche-Orient, en Grèce et en Méditerranée occidentale entre les VIIIe et Ve s. a.C. Il s’agit d’étudier les statuts personnels non comme des déterminants externes des comportements économiques, mais comme les signes et les instruments des transformations marquant, durant l’époque archaïque, l’organisation et le contrôle de la main-d’œuvre et l’accès à la terre et à ses ressources. La généralisation, sinon la création, de statuts de type hilotique ou pénestique et de l’esclavage marchandise, l’expansion de l’esclavage pour dettes et de la monnaie de métal pesé sont des événements essentiels dans la formation des cités grecques. Celles-ci ne sont pas isolées ; ce volume donne toute leur place aux sociétés du Proche-Orient et de Méditerranée qui connaissent des groupes et des évolutions comparables. Il apparaît ici que les changements caractéristiques du monde grec font écho à d’autres, révélant, selon des périodisations diverses, aussi bien des contacts étroits que des évolutions structurelles analogues et une histoire commune."

Grammar is seen as a complex sign system, and, as a consequence, grammatical change always comprises semantic change. The book introduces the concept of connecting grammaticalisation to describe the formation, restructuring and dismantling of such complex paradigms. It offers a broad general discussion of theoretical issues and three case studies

Book Description
Plunder examines the dark side of the Rule of Law and explores how it has been used as a powerful political weapon by Western countries in order to legitimize plunder – the practice of violent extraction by stronger political actors victimizing weaker ones. Challenges traditionally held beliefs in the sanctity of the Rule of Law by exposing its dark side Examines the Rule of Law's relationship with 'plunder' – the practice of violent extraction by stronger political actors victimizing weaker ones – in the service of Western cultural and economic domination Provides global examples of plunder: of oil in Iraq; of ideas in the form of Western patents and intellectual property rights imposed on weaker peoples; and of liberty in the United States Dares to ask the paradoxical question – is the Rule of Law itself illegal?

Book Description
This book is about one of the most controversial dilemmas of contract law: whether or not the unexpected change of circumstances due to the effects of financial crises may under certain conditions be taken into account. Growing interconnectedness of global economies facilitates the spread of the effects of the financial crises. Financial crises cause severe difficulties for persons to fulfill their contractual obligations. During the financial crises, performance of contractual obligations may become excessively onerous or may cause an excessive loss for one of the contracting parties and consequently destroy the contractual equilibrium and legitimate the governmental interventions. Uncomfortable economic climate leads to one of the most controversial dilemmas of the contract law: whether the binding force of the contract is absolute or not. In other words, unstable economic circumstances impose the need to devote special attention to review and perhaps to narrow the binding nature of a contract. Principle of good faith and fair dealing motivate a variety of theoretical bases in order to overcome the legal consequences of financial crises. In this book, all these theoretical bases are analyzed with special focus on the available remedies, namely renegotiation, rescission or revision and the circumstances which enables the revocation of these remedies. The book collects the 19 national reports and the general report originally presented in the session regarding the Effects of Financial Crises on the Binding Force of Contracts: Renegotiation, Rescission or Revision during the XIXth congress of the International Academy of Comparative Law, held in Vienna, July 2014.
