My companion cheerfully remarked, 'That could have killed you, you know.' I picked up the innocent looking little white ball and looked at it with new respect.'Prompted by this perilous experience, Brian Kaye has written a delightful and informative book on the design and behavior of different kinds of missiles from golf balls, arrows, and slingshots to comets and rockets to outer space.

Thereby, it provides a foundation for a European administrative law framework for investment screening by setting out viable solutions and evaluating their pros and cons. Daimler, the harbour terminal in Zeebrugge, or Saxo Bank are only three recent examples of controversially discussed company takeovers in Europe. The ?elephant in the room? is China and its ?Belt and Road Initiative?. The political will in Europe is growing to more actively control investments flowing into the EU. The current regulatory initiatives raise several fundamental, constitutional and regulatory issues. Surprisingly, they have not been addressed in any depth so far. The book takes stock of the current rather fragmented regulatory approaches and combines contributions from leading international academics, practitioners, and policy makers in their respective fields. Due to the volume?s comprehensive approach, it is expected to influence the broader debate on the EU?s upcoming regulation of this matter. The book is addressed to participants from academia as well as to representatives from government, business, and civil society. 410 0$aYSEC Yearbook of Socio-Economic Constitutions,$x2662-7132 ;$v2020 606 $aInternational law 606 $aTrade regulation 606 $aLaw$xEurope 606 $aLaw and economics 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law 606 $aEuropean Law 606 $aLaw and Economics 606 $aEuropean Politics 615 0$aInternational law. 615 0$aTrade regulation. 615 0$aLaw$xEurope. 615 0$aLaw and economics. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 14$aInternational Economic Law, Trade Law. 615 24$aEuropean Law. 615 24$aLaw and Economics. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 676 $a346.4092 702 $aHindelang$b Steffen 702 $aMoberg$b Andreas 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483944503321 996 $aYSEC yearbook of socio-economic constitutions 2020$91905512 997 $aUNINA
