Book Synopsis Consumer Protection in the Age of the 'Information Economy' by : Jane K. Winn
Download or read book Consumer Protection in the Age of the 'Information Economy' written by Jane K. Winn. This book was released on 2016-05-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date, there have been few theoretical inquiries into the relationship between the technological innovation and basic objectives of consumer protection laws. This book addresses this need by considering the impact of technological innovation on the foundations of consumer advocacy, contracting behaviour, control over intellectual capital and information privacy. The collection presents a unique and timely perspective on these issues. The authors, internationally renowned experts, from diverse areas such as consumer issues in technology markets, contract, and intellectual property provide a fresh perspective on these topics. Contributions provide novel approaches to the question of what consumer protection might consist of in the context of technological innovation. The book will be a valuable resource to academics and researchers in law and public policy and is easily accessible to graduate and undergraduate students working in these areas.

Book Synopsis Sustainability, the Circular Economy and Consumer Law in Slovenia by : Petra Weingerl
Download or read book Sustainability, the Circular Economy and Consumer Law in Slovenia written by Petra Weingerl. This book was released on 2023. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sustainability goals and the circular economy have been high on the list of priorities of the EU and its Member States over the past few years. In Slovenia, they have found their way into the Constitution and into the key strategic national documents, including the Slovenian Development Strategy 2030 and the Roadmap for the Transition to the Circular Economy. Though consumers play a crucial role as enablers of the circular economy, there has been tension between the sustainability aims and aims of consumer law, which are not always aligned. As provided by the EU's Circular Economy Package, '[t]he choices made by millions of consumers can support or hamper the circular economy'. The integration of environmental policy into consumer law is pursued through regulation on the supply and on demand side of the market, i.e. it is aimed at stimulating sustainable production and consumption. While the traditional consumer law paradigm envisages balancing of interests of consumers as the weaker parties on the one hand and businesses on the other, sustainability can be one aspect that is weighed in this balancing exercise, and thus contributes to the paradigm shift in accordance with horizontal clauses found in Articles 11 TFEU (environmental protection) and Articles 12 TFEU (consumer protection), as well as in accordance with Articles 37 and 38 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, respectively. This contribution will assess whether and how sustainability goals and the circular economy are internalized in consumer law and policy in Slovenia, with an emphasis on civil law rights and obligations.

Book Synopsis The Circular Economy in the European Union by : Sepp Eisenriegler
Download or read book The Circular Economy in the European Union written by Sepp Eisenriegler. This book was released on 2020-09-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The implementation of the circular economy will entail a major transformation from a resource-destroying, linear economy to a circular one that operates within the planet’s regenerative boundaries. This book presents an interim assessment of the implementation of a circular economy in the EU. It reveals what achievements have been made in various EU institutions, but which are scarcely perceived by the public; which basic scientific principles can be applied in this context; and what NGOs are demanding beyond this progress. It provides convincing arguments for abandoning the “hamster wheel” of material-based satisfaction of our needs, and shows that the primacy of the economy stands in the way of a good life for all. Given its focus, it will appeal to everyone interested in an ecologically sustainable economic system.
