Hardback. Condition: Very Good. In an attempt to counter the insular narratives of much of the sesquicentennial commemorations of the Civil War in the United States, editors David T. Gleeson and Simon Lewis present this collection of essays that examine the war as more than a North American conflict, one with transnational concerns. The book, while addressing the origins of the Civil War, places the struggle over slavery and sovereignty in the United States in the context of other conflicts in the Western hemisphere. Additionally Gleeson and Lewis offer an analysis of the impact of the war and its results overseas. Although the Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in U.S. history and arguably its single most defining event, this work underscores the reality that the war was by no means the only conflict that ensnared the global imperial powers in the mid-nineteenth century. In some ways the Civil War was just another part of contemporary conflicts over the definitions of liberty, democracy, and nationhood. The editors have successfully linked numerous provocative themes and convergences of time and space to make the work both coherent and cogent. Subjects include such disparate topics as Florence Nightingale, Gone with the Wind, war crimes and racial violence, and choices of allegiance made by immigrants to the United States. While we now take for granted the nation's values of freedom and democracy, we cannot understand the impact of the Civil War and the victorious ""new birth of freedom"" without thinking globally.The contributors to The Civil War as Global Conflict reveal that Civil War-era attitudes toward citizenship and democracy were far from fixed or stable. Race, ethnicity, nationhood, and slavery were subjects of fierce controversy. Examining the Civil War in a global context requires us to see the conflict as a seminal event in the continuous struggles of people to achieve liberty and fulfill the potential of human freedom. The book concludes with a coda that reconnects the global with the local and provides ways for Americans to discuss the war and its legacy more productively.…

HRD. Condition: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. This new book explores how money--encompassing coins, notes, credit, and virtual currency--should be defined from legal and economic perspectives. With the rise of electronic payment systems, defining money becomes crucial for global legal, commercial, economic, macro-prudential, and fiscal policymaking. It re-evaluates the concept of 'money' by examining its role in various transactions and the interchangeability of cryptocurrencies and 'quasi-money' with traditional monetary systems. The book begins with a summary of the legal nature of money, clarifying the distinction between money and payment obligations, and outlining the fundamental characteristics of money. It analyzes how the law identifies money through specific transactions, such as the sale of goods involving 'e-currency.' Other scenarios discussed include recovering stolen money, claims for non-delivery, and the functioning of payment obligations. Additionally, the book investigates the role of money within the banking system, assessing how different currencies serve as claims on financial institutions and whether the rise of non-traditional currencies poses a threat to systemic stability. Finally, it aims to develop a conceptual framework for how alternative currencies could function as a medium for saving. …

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Financial capital regulation influences nearly every aspect of financial markets, including the structures of financial groups, capital raising methods, and the development of investment strategies like derivatives and securitizations. Despite its significance, capital regulation is often overlooked in legal studies. This book serves as an introduction to the structure of bank financial regulation, aimed at financial lawyers and non-statisticians interested in the regulatory factors that shape contemporary financial transactions. While the regulations rely on complex statistical models, the underlying legal principles can be articulated clearly and systematically. Currently, this area is undergoing significant transition due to the international implementation of the Basel II Accord, which introduces a new framework for bank regulation, prompting banks globally to reassess their structures and business models. This shift will lead to substantial changes and increased complexity in regulatory frameworks. The focus is on the general principles of Basel II and their implementation in the EU through the Capital Requirements Directive, making it relevant for readers in both EU and significant non-EU financial jurisdictions. This work provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the regulatory drivers that shape financial transactions, serving as an accessible guide for lawyers and bankers alike.…
