Complex Copyright: Mapping the Information Ecosystem
by Deborah TusseyThis book draws on a wide selection of interdisciplinary literature discussing complex adaptive systems - including scholarship from economics, political science, evolutionary biology, cognitive science, and religion - to apply general complexity tenets to the institutions, conceptual framework, and theoretical justifications of the copyright system, both in the United States and internationally. The author argues that copyrighted works are the products of complex creative systems and, consequently, designers of copyright regimes for the global 'information ecosystem' should look to complexity theory for guidance. Urging legal scholars to undertake empirical studies of real-world copyright systems, Tussey reveals how the selection of workable configurations for the copyright regime is larger than that encompassed by the traditional, entirely theoretical, debate between private property rights and the commons. Finally, this unique study articulates how copyright law must tolerate certain chaotic elements that may be essential to the sustainability of complex systems.
Complexities of Production and Interacting Human Behaviour
by Yuji ArukaAs the real world is rapidly becoming more and more complicated, economists need to venture beyond the boundaries of mainstream economics and integrate philosophical thought and complexity into their analytical frameworks. In this context, this volume brings together papers on economic theory and its related issues, exploring complex production systems and heterogeneously interacting human behavior. The author challenges economists to integrate economic theory and moral science anew by referring to evolutionary economics and socio-econophysics. The three parts of the book focus on the complexities of production and social interaction, the moral science of heterogeneous economic interaction, and the Avatamsaka’s dilemma of the two-person game with only positive spillovers.
Complexity, Difference and Identity: An Ethical Perspective (Issues in Business Ethics #26)
by Paul Cilliers Rika Preiser"Complexity" has been part of the academic discourse for a decade or two. Texts on Complexity fall mainly in two categories: fairly technical and mathematical on the one hand, and fairly broad, vague and general on the other. Paul Cilliers’ book Complexity and Postmodernism. Understanding Complex Systems (Routledge 1998) constituted an attempt to bridge this divide by reflecting more rigorously on the philosophical implications of complexity, and by making it accessible to the social sciences. This edited volume is a continuation of this project, with specific reference to the ethical implications of acknowledging complexity. These issues are pertinent to our understanding of organisations and institutions and could contribute significantly to the development of a richer understanding of ethics in business and would be a useful tool for teachers, researchers and post-graduate students with ethical concerns in disciplines ranging from Philosophy, Applied Ethics, Sociology, Organisational Studies, Political Science, Anthropology and Cultural Studies. The central theme which binds all the contributions together is: the inevitability of normative and ethical issues when dealing with complex phenomena. The book should thus be useful in the development of Business Ethics on two levels: in the first place on the level of developing a strong theoretical foundation, in the second place in providing specific examples of this theory in action in the real world.
The Complexity of Human Rights: From Vernacularization to Quantification
by Philip AlstonThis book provides the first systematic assessment from a human rights law perspective of the landmark contributions of the renowned legal anthropologist, Sally Engle Merry. What impact does over-simplification have on human rights debates? The understandable tendency to present them as a single, universal, and immutable concept ignores their complexity and by extension only serves to weaken them. Merry and her colleagues transformed human rights thinking by highlighting the process of 'vernacularization', which sees rights discourse as being unavoidably dependent upon translation and interpretation. She also warned of the pitfalls of excessive reliance upon statistical and other indicators, through the process of quantification. Here the leading voices in the field assess the significance of these contributions.

The Complexity of Social Norms (Computational Social Sciences)
by Maria Xenitidou Bruce EdmondsThis book explores the view that normative behaviour is part of a complex of social mechanisms, processes and narratives that are constantly shifting. From this perspective, norms are not a kind of self-contained social object or fact, but rather an interplay of many things that we label as norms when we ‘take a snapshot’ of them at a particular instant. Further, this book pursues the hypothesis that considering the dynamic aspects of these phenomena sheds new light on them.The sort of issues that this perspective opens to exploration include:Of what is this complex we call a "social norm" composed of?How do new social norms emerge and what kind of circumstances might facilitate such an appearance?How context-specific are the norms and patterns of normative behaviour that arise?How do the cognitive and the social aspects of norms interact over time?How do expectations, beliefs and individual rationality interact with social norm complexes to effect behaviour?How does our social embeddedness relate to social constraint upon behaviour?How might the socio-cognitive complexes that we call norms be usefully researched?
Complexity Theory and Law: Mapping an Emergent Jurisprudence (Law, Science and Society)
by Jamie Murray Thomas Webb Steven WheatleyThis collection of essays explores the different ways the insights from complexity theory can be applied to law. Complexity theory – a variant of systems theory – views law as an emergent, complex, self-organising system comprised of an interactive network of actors and systems that operate with no overall guiding hand, giving rise to complex, collective behaviour in law communications and actions. Addressing such issues as the unpredictability of legal systems, the ability of legal systems to adapt to changes in society, the importance of context, and the nature of law, the essays look to the implications of a complexity theory analysis for the study of public policy and administrative law, international law and human rights, regulatory practices in business and finance, and the practice of law and legal ethics. These are areas where law, which craves certainty, encounters unending, irresolvable complexity. This collection shows the many ways complexity theory thinking can reshape and clarify our understanding of the various problems relating to the theory and practice of law.

Compliance Capitalism: How Free Markets Have Led to Unfree, Overregulated Workers (The Business, Management and Safety Effects of Neoliberalism)
by Sidney DekkerIn this book, Sidney Dekker sets out to identify the market mechanisms that explain how less government paradoxically leads to greater compliance burdens. This book gives shape and substance to a suspicion that has become widespread among workers in almost every industry: we have to follow more rules than ever—and still, things can go spectacularly wrong. Much has been privatized and deregulated, giving us what is sometimes known as ‘new public management,’ driven by neoliberal, market-favoring policies. But, paradoxically, we typically have more rules today, not fewer. It’s not the government: it’s us. This book is the first of a three-part series on the effects of ‘neoliberalism,’ which promotes the role of the private sector in the economy. Compliance Capitalism examines what aspects of the compliance economy, what mechanisms of bureaucratization, are directly linked to us having given free markets a greater reign over our political economy. The book steps through them, picking up the evidence and levers for change along the way. Dekker’s work has always challenged readers to embrace more humane, empowering ways to think about work and its quality and safety. In Compliance Capitalism, Dekker extends his reach once again, writing for all managers, board members, organization leaders, consultants, practitioners, researchers, lecturers, students, and investigators curious to understand the genuine nature of organizational and safety performance.

Compliance in der öffentlichen Verwaltung
by Katalin VollmannKatalin Vollmann untersucht, welche Bedeutung die im unternehmerischen Bereich gewachsene Compliance für die öffentliche Verwaltung haben kann. Sie zeigt anhand von der Verwaltung im-manenten Strukturen und Maßnahmen zur Rechtmäßigkeitssicherung auf, dass sich für Compliance in der Verwaltung zahlreiche Anknüpfungspunkte ausmachen lassen. Entsprechend ist eine Übertragung von Compliance auf die Verwaltung kein Überstülpen eines Fremdkörpers, sondern in weiten Teilen eine Übersetzung mit Anstößen zur Fortentwicklung und Ergänzung. Vor diesem Hintergrund setzt sich die Autorin damit auseinander, wie ein wirksames Compliance-Management-System in der Verwaltungspraxis unter Einbeziehung der bereits vorhandenen Strukturen und Maßnahmen ausgestaltet werden kann.

Compliance-konforme Einbindung biometrischer Authentifizierungssysteme in das betriebliche IT-Sicherheitsmanagement (Edition KWV)
by Sebastian DäsBiometrische Authentifizierung hat in den letzten Jahren einen Aufschwung erlebt und setzt sich immer mehr als Faktor für eine starke Identitätsprüfung im betrieblichen Kontext durch. Aufgrund der Brisanz der erhobenen persönlichen Daten und der komplexen Sicherheitsmechanismen sind für Unternehmen beim Einsatz biometrischer Systeme jedoch viele rechtliche und regulatorische Regelwerke zu beachten.Diese Arbeit untersucht die relevanten Gesetze, Vorschriften, Standards und Normen, die Anforderungen an biometrische Authentifizierungssysteme im Unternehmen stellen. Sie entwickelt anschließend einen Bewertungsrahmen, der ein biometrisches Merkmal und ein biometrisches System im Hinblick auf diese Anforderungen überprüft. Dadurch können neue Maßnahmen für das IT-Sicherheitsmanagement im Umgang mit der Biometrie abgeleitet werden.Die Ergebnisse sind deshalb für Hersteller biometrischer Systeme, Urheber von Gesetzen, Vorschriften, Standards und Normen und für Entscheidungsträger des IT-Sicherheitsmanagements im Unternehmen interessant.

Compliance Norms in Financial Institutions: Measures, Case Studies and Best Practices
by Tomasz BraunInitially, introducing compliance functions within the financial industry had been forced by regulatory scrutiny. Later, it started to spread to other regulated companies, in particular those publicly listed. Now, compliance has become an asset of corporates that want to build their reliability among clients, shareholders, employees and business partners. This book looks at the efficiency of the compliance measures introduced and the best practices of building compliance norms.This recently observed practice of compliance was triggered by the expectation of regulators, shareholders, clients, business partners and the public for robust compliance mechanisms. This book looks at the vast interest in this topic among business people who strive to introduce the systems and the mechanisms of non-compliance risk management in their companies and at the uncountable difficulties and obstacles they meet. The book fills the gap of thorough analysis of this subject by pointing out the solutions successfully introduced in global financial organizations, and would be of interest to academics, researchers and practitioners in corporate finance, corporate governance and risk management.
