The Quest for a Bosnian Constitution: Legal Aspects of Constitutional Proposals Relating to Bosnia

Abstract: The analogue in international politics is the three-party conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina, a quagmire in which first Europe and then the entire world have become stuck. The complexity of the problem reflects not only the intensity of the hatreds that have been fanned between the parties and must now be accounted for in any solution, but that two of the primary parties have immediate support in neighboring countries that also have their own bilateral problems to resolve; furthermore, each of these actors has, for historical or other motives, its own important patrons among the leading powers of the world. This Essay is divided into two principal parts: first, a brisk chronological survey of the successive structural proposals that have been advanced over the past four years; second, an analysis of the principal legal features of these proposals.

Political Agency, Oversight, and Bias: The Instrumental Value of Politicized Policymaking

Abstract: We develop a theory of policymaking between a principal, an agent, and an overseer. The agent increases the overall quality of policy outcomes through costly effort investments. Oversight impacts agent effort incentives, but only if the policy bias of the agent does as well. The principal chooses whether or not to authorize the agent to make policy on her behalf in light of oversight dynamics. We show that anytime oversight is not an effective means of political control, the principal never benefits from a biased agent relative to an ally. When oversight is effective, the principal almost always benefits from agent bias. Based on the dynamics of policymaking oversight the ally principle fails for instrumental reasons. The principal benefits from trading off agent bias in the substance of policy for reduced slack in implementation. The results have implications for bureaucratic personnel politics, political appointments, and the efficacy of managerial strategies.

Abstract: Agency theory arising due to the different interests between managers as agents of the owners of capital as a principal. This problem arises from the desire berrnula the agency for not acting in the best interests principal Jensen and Meckling (1976). The agent to make a more informed decision to maximize their own welfare than the welfare principal. This is where the asymmetry arises, as principal on the other hand is in need of all the relevant information about the overall condition of the company, but not rnempunyai access to internal corporate information, but the information is very useful for making economic decisions. Based on this phenomenon arising from the lack of transparency in the financial statements of the agent causing the authors formulate the problem associated with pendisclosuran purposes, gains and losses as well as the relationship between pendisclosuran pendisclosuran against asymmetry. Thus the aim of this paper is to describe the importance of disclosure to the financial statements in order to overcome or minimize the information asymmetry through the publication of financial statements. Hopefully with a full disclosure by firms all relevant financial information will ultimately be very useful for stakeholders and will reduce the asymmetry of information that has been happening.

Deceptive Sexual Relations: A Theory of Criminal Liability

Abstract: Many common law jurisdictions criminalise penetrative and non-penetrative deceptive sexual relations. Often, they prohibit that conduct under their principal sexual offences, namely rape, sexual/indecent assault etc. This article challenges that practice via two linked processes: criminalisation and fair labelling, respectively. First, it argues that, whilst deceptive sexual relations (with one exception) are equally harmful to a victim’s right to sexual autonomy as the relations proscribed by the principal sexual offences, they represent a different wrong. Secondly, it contends that this view entails the creation of separate sexual offences targeting penetrative and non-penetrative deceptive sexual relations. This would better signal to the criminal law’s audiences the distinct wrongdoing inherent in these relations. Such labelling becomes critical at the point of conviction given its effects on defendants and other parties.
