  The Floating University -...

  In 1926, New York University professor James E. Lough—an educational reformer with big dreams—embarked on a bold experiment he called the Floating University. Lough believed that taking five hundred American college students around the globe by ship would not only make them better citizens of the world but would demonstrate a model for responsible and productive education amid the unprecedented dangers, new technologies, and social upheavals of the post–World War I world. But the Floating University’s maiden voyage was also its last: when the ship and its passengers returned home, the project was branded a failure—the antics of students in hotel bars and port city back alleys that received worldwide press coverage were judged incompatible with educational attainment, and Lough was fired and even put under investigation by the State Department. 
    
  In her new book, Tamson Pietsch excavates a rich and meaningful picture of Lough’s grand ambition, its origins, and how it reveals an early-twentieth-century America increasingly defined both by its imperialism and the professionalization of its higher education system. As Pietsch argues, this voyage—powered by an internationalist worldview—traced the expanding tentacles of US power, even as it tried to model a new kind of experiential education. She shows that this apparent educational failure actually exposes a much larger contest over what kind of knowledge should underpin university authority, one in which direct personal experience came into conflict with academic expertise. After a journey that included stops at nearly fifty international ports and visits with figures ranging from Mussolini to Gandhi, what the students aboard the Floating University brought home was not so much knowledge of the greater world as a demonstration of their nation’s rapidly growing imperial power.

  In this milestone book, a previous examiner, legitimate master, and driving expert on sexual viciousness looks at why we are prepared to distrust charges of sexual maltreatment — and how we can change a culture and a general set of laws organized to excuse informers 
  Sexual offense allegations flash contending claims: her statement against his. How would we conclude who is coming clean? The response comes down to believability. However, as this enlightening book uncovers, imperceptible powers twist the validity decisions of even the benevolent among us. We are undeniably molded by a bunch of misleading suppositions and secret predispositions implanted in our way of life, our overall set of laws, and our minds. 
  In Tenable, the creator gives a genuinely necessary system to make sense of how we see validity, why our discernments are contorted, and why these twists hurt survivors. Social orders and disparities cultivate question that is typical and unsurprising, bringing about what the creator calls the "validity markdown" — our excusal of cases by particular sorts of speakers — basically ladies, and particularly the individuals who are more minimized.

  Regulation and Supervision of...

  Ongoing conduct issues in the banking sector have sparked global discussions on the effectiveness of the corporate governance of these institutions. This dissertation commences by exploring the internationally evolving regulatory landscape of prudential corporate governance and the role of bank senior management within these frameworks using a law and economics perspective. Two model jurisdictions, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, are identified as pioneers with their emerging approaches to tackle the persisting challenges.
  
  Against this backdrop, the study turns to Switzerland. It fills the gap of a comprehensive supervisory law analysis of bank senior management. For this purpose, the fragmented provisions are distilled from their institutional embedding and structured along the supervisory law life cycle of authorisation, ongoing supervision and enforcement. Along each phase, the respective novel approaches from the model jurisdictions are presented.
  
  Through these analyses, the dissertation identifies gaps and inefficiencies in the Swiss supervisory law framework. These findings are synthesised in order to gain a holistic view of the current setup. Concluding, future pathways for Switzerland are presented, also inspired by international developments, to propose a more structured, robust and efficient framework for the regulatory oversight of the senior management of Swiss banks.
