The Philosophy of Customary Law

This book attempts to bring greater theoretical clarity to the often murky topic of custom by showing that custom must be analysed into two more logically basic concepts: convention and habit. Customs are conventional habits and habitual conventions. Once we have a clearer understanding of custom we can better grasp the many roles that custom plays in a legal system.

Procurement Finance

The Digital Revolution in Commercial Banking

This book presents a business model on how to structure the relationship between financial services and procurement. The need for new models is particularly important to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) where there is an evident difficulty in accessing credit. Due to this context, innovative solutions must be introduced. The objective of this book is to determine how innovation can support the dynamic and volatile international context and the increasingly relevant function of procurement. It is becoming more and more important to take into account complex international transactions with notably long payment terms. Organizations need to manage the best way to handle the financial relationships and the risks related to credit provision and payments. This book presents an end-to-end support to procurement, including trade finance, supply chain finance, and related payments. In addition, the enterprises need to keep sufficient liquidity levels in the short and medium term. This is a constant challenge today, with the turbulence of financial markets and a continuing climate of economic uncertainty making it harder to obtain external funding. Businesses need to optimize the working capital. This can be done through the innovative concept of procurement finance, which allows SMEs to benefit by the new vision of collaborative procurement. This book provides several practical examples of advanced procurement finance solutions. It demonstrates how the use of process improvement and technology can help in overcoming the current financially difficult situation. In addition, based on the business model presented, the integrated approach to procurement finance allows sustainable solutions which will be of interest to academics, researchers, managers, and practitioners in both buyer and vendor companies, as well as in banks and other financial institutions.

Constitutional Law in France

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this very useful analysis of constitutional law in France provides essential information on the country’s sources of constitutional law, its form of government, and its administrative structure. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the clarifications of particular terminology and its application. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes the specific points at which constitutional law affects the interpretation of legal rules and procedure. Thorough coverage by a local expert fully describes the political system, the historical background, the role of treaties, legislation, jurisprudence, and administrative regulations. The discussion of the form and structure of government outlines its legal status, the jurisdiction and workings of the central state organs, the subdivisions of the state, its decentralized authorities, and concepts of citizenship. Special issues include the legal position of aliens, foreign relations, taxing and spending powers, emergency laws, the power of the military, and the constitutional relationship between church and state. Details are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for both practising and academic jurists. Lawyers representing parties with interests in France will welcome this guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative constitutional law.

Dewasa ini, perekonomian dunia tengah bergerak memasuki era industri ekonomi kreatif (creative economic industry). Hampir seluruh negara di dunia memiliki potensi terkait ekonomi kreatif, termasuk Indonesia. Sektor ini telah berkembang di beberapa negara Asia yang dikenal sebagai industri yang sedang tumbuh (emerging industry). Karakteristik umum ekonomi kreatif merupakan pertemuan dari seni budaya, bisnis dan teknologi, serta bagian dari pengembangan potensi kreativitas yang dimiliki oleh individu dan komunitas masyarakat, baik berupa kreativitas artistik dan budaya, kewirausahaan, serta inovasi teknologi untuk menciptakan nilai ekonomi dan peningkatan kesejah-teraan. Pembangunan ekonomi kreatif perlu berpegang pada empat aspek yakni masyarakat, produk, tempat dan partisipasi. Masyarakat perlu ditingkatkan kapasitasnya melalui peningkatan akses terhadap informasi dan pengetahuan, serta peningkatan keterampilan dan kompetensi yang dapat menunjang proses penciptaan dan inovasi.

Humanisme dan Kapitalisme

Kita terbiasa menyerang kapitalisme dari posisi kaum sosialis. Dan benar, kita kadang-kadang memiliki kesan bahwa satu-satunya fungsi mereka memang untuk menyerang kapitalisme. Namun kritikus humanis terhadap kapitalisme sebagian besar adalah kaum konservatif, bahkan sangat konservatif. Dengan demikian kita menyaksikan fenomena budaya komersial diserang dari dua sisi, baik oleh kaum kiri maupun kanan, meski sering kali kritisisme ini tampak sangat mirip. Kaum humanis konservatif dan sosialis memegang nilai-nilai pra-modern yang sama, bahkan sampai batas tertentu keduanya sama-sama reaksioner. Baik kaum konservatif maupun sosialis sama-sama menganggap diri mereka sebagai juru penerang, yang memiliki pengetahuan khusus yang memberi hak kepada mereka untuk menjalankan dan menentukan segala urusan. Dengan kata lain, baik kaum konservatif maupun sosialis sama-sama melihat negara liberal sebagai musuh, karena kapitalisme merupakan bagian integral dari negara liberal. Kritisisme mereka atas tatanan ini, menurut hemat saya, memiliki kelemahan besar karena kritik-kritik mereka sangat bergantung pada norma-norma atau ukuran-ukuran pra-modern. Bernard Murchland

Sejarah Sebuah Sekte Radikal dalam Islam

Tidak ada pelajar studi Islam yang tidak familiar dengan kajian-kajian kritis, dalam, dan otoritatif seputar persolah sejarah dan kebudayaan Islam besutan Bernard Lewis. Ia merupakan sedikit dari cendekiawan Barat yang mendedikasikan seluruh hidupnya untuk meneliti dunia Islam. Di antara karya emasnya ialah buku ini: buah riset panjangnya tentang sebuah sekte, aliran, dan idelog dalam sejarah peradaban Islam yang berkarakter amat keras, ektrem, dan radikal. Mereka tak segan-segan menabrak kelompok aliran manapun dengan cara-cara yang bahkan mengerikan atas nama kebenaran dan keagungan Islam yang hakiki. Siapa mereka?
