Frenkel, David A. (ed.), New Challenges of the Law in a Permeable World. Athens, Greece: Atiner (234 pp.). June 2019.
New book edited by Emeritus Professor David A. Frenkel, LL.D., from the Department of Business Administration, Guilford Glazer Faculty of Business & Management of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
Traditional boundaries have become permeable. We live in a previous world and witness increasing interconnectedness of issues, internationalisation of flows of goods and movement of labour, intergovernmental cooperation, new attitudes to personal rights and meaning of family, including human rights, as well as changes of values, moral principles and ethical conceptions. The essays offered in this book seek to analyse some of these challenges.
Some of them deal with children, paternity and family issues calling for the response of the law to current developments and new values relating to children rights and meaning of family. Others analyse other various issues like workplace monitoring and surveillance, the role water plays in our lives, cross-border conversions of companies within the EU, personal data transfer to third countries, the intersection of disciplines by means of a shared artefact or source, and more.
The readers will find this collection of essays stimulating and interesting not only in the particular issues discussed but also to acquaint themselves with new ideas and research as one of the great challenges of our time is the response of the law to current developments.
