Sustainability clauses in international business contracts - Katerina Peterkova Mitkidis - ebook

Organisaties blijvend duurzaam en succesvol maken. Verschoor en Boerekamps ontdekten dat het meest essentiële onderdeel in de bedrijfsvoering vaak werd vergeten, namelijk de relaties. Een organisatie kan alleen duurzaam succesvol zijn als zij wederzijds goede relaties heeft met al haar stakeholders. De hele kern, de essentie van een organisatie, profit of non-profit, is de relatie en de synergie die daaruit voortkomt. Deze visie noemen zij Mutual Sustainability. Mutual Sustainability garandeert het voortbestaan en de toegevoegde waarde van eenorganisatie door zich te richten op de relaties en hun wederzijdse afhankelijkheid. Het doorvoeren van mutual Sustainability in een organisatie leidt tot prachtige effecten. Organisaties zijn in staat tot (bestuurlijke) verandering en die verandering leidt tot duurzame waardecreatie.

The book is the extended version of the inaugural lecture given by Professor Petra Bárd on 21 September 2023 on the occasion of her taking up the Chair in Sustainable Rule of Law at the Research Centre for State and Law (SteR) in the Faculty of Law at Radboud University, Nijmegen. Professor Bárd places the specific manifestation of rule of law deficiencies in the evolution of European criminal justice within a broader constitutional context. She has led the way in reframing the academic and policy debates, so that mutual trust and mutual recognition, the principle guiding EU criminal cooperation, are firmly grounded in the framework of defending and sustaining the inextricably linked values of democracy, the protection of fundamental rights and the rule of law. The inaugural lecture, just like the award of the Chair, is a testament to Professor Bárd’s immense contribution towards understanding and defending the rule of law in Europe in challenging times.

When commercial parties conclude a contract for the sale of goods, their main objective is to exchange the subject goods for the agreed purchase price. The civil law and common law traditions have adopted the notion that these contractual promises are binding and each has put in place specific instruments to protect the interests of both parties. However, while the civil law tradition protects the interest in actual performance of the assumed obligations with a right to enforced performance, the common law tradition perceives the availability of enforced performance as a rarity. This book explores the Dutch, Singapore and Chinese viewpoints on this issue by analysing the extent to which respective contract law principles balance out the interests of parties to a commercial sales contract in their principles surrounding the enforceability of performance obligations, and also how domestic solutions correlate to the approaches taken by global and regional sales and contract law instrument…
