Описание: SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2020 CUNDILL HISTORY PRIZE'The best history of Greece around... Beautifully written and packed with insights about the culture and the people. I will be dipping into this book for the rest of my life' Victoria HislopWe think we know ancient Greece, the civilisation that shares the same name and gave us just about everything that defines 'western' culture today, in the arts, sciences, social sciences and politics.

Yet, as Greece has been brought under repeated scrutiny during the financial crises that have convulsed the country since 2010, worldwide coverage has revealed just how poorly we grasp the modern nation. This book sets out to understand the modern Greeks on their own terms. How did Greece come to be so powerfully attached to the legacy of the ancients in the first place, and then define an identity for themselves that is at once Greek and modern? This book reveals the remarkable achievement, during the last 300 years, of building a modern nation on, sometimes literally, the ruins of a vanished civilisation.

This is the story of the Greek nation-state but also, and perhaps more fundamentally, of the collective identity that goes with it. It is not only a history of events and high politics, it is also a history of culture, of the arts, of people and of ideas.

Описание: Leniency policies are seen as a revolution in contemporary anti-cartel law enforcement. Unique to competition law, these policies are regarded as essential to detecting, punishing, and deterring business collusion; conduct that subverts competition at national and global levels. Featuring contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, and enforcers from around the world, this book is a critique of the almost universal adoption and zealous defense of leniency by competition authorities. The book charts the origins of and impetuses for the leniency movement, while capturing key insights from academic research and practical experience relating to the operation and effectiveness of leniency policies. It examines leniency from the perspectives of corporate and individual applicants, advisers, and authorities. It also explores the debates surrounding the intersections between leniency and other crucial elements of the enforcement system, such as compensation, compliance, and criminalization. The rich analysis draws on the disciplines of law, regulation, economics, criminology. and political science. It makes a substantial and distinctive contribution to the literature on a topic that is highly significant to a wide range of actors in the field of competition law and business regulation generally. *** ..".fundamental questions are raised and thoroughly discussed in this book which is undoubtedly the most comprehensive scholarly work on leniency policies produced so far... the] book should be required reading for all seeking to acquire a deeper insight into the issues related to leniency policy. It is a priceless contribution..." - From the Foreword by Professor Frederic Jenny (Series: Hart Studies in Competition Law, Vol. 10) Subject: Competition Law, Business Law, Economics, Criminal Law]
