We are delighted to announce the second issue of the LSE Law Working Paper Series for 2018.
In this issue, Rafael Lima Sakr (WP9/2018) explores how history and boundaries interact to produce a traditional view of international economic law before offering an alternative approach to the field; Jeremy Horder (WP10/2018) considers the merits of Philip Pettit’s justification for the traditional focus of the criminal law as constituting a bulwark against domination; Parthasarathi Shome (WP11/2018) points towards vacillations and drifts in the way tax changes occur, and suggests that the glass wall between tax economics and tax law, and between tax economics and tax administration should be removed; Cal Viney and Thomas Poole (WP12/2018) compare and contrast the UK Office for Budget Responsibility and the Australian Parliamentary Budget Office to draw larger conclusions about Independent Fiscal Institutions; Devika Hovell (WP13/2018) addresses the legal implications of approaching UN failure to prevent sexual exploitation and abuse by peacekeepers as a betrayal of trust, drawing on fiduciary theory to develop an accountability framework; Eva Micheler and Anna Whaley (WP14/2018) review regulatory technology and analyse it by applying criterial theories developed in the mainstream regulatory literature; and David Kershaw (WP15/2018) explores how an understanding of the doctrinal pre-history of both US and UK corporate fiduciary law drives a re-evaluation of contemporary corporate law in both jurisdictions.
