Claudia Winkler Book order

We've reached a turning point, and the stakes are high. Will we succeed in halting climate change and biodiversity loss, and in finally securing health, wealth and wellbeing for all? There is cause for optimism. We already have the tools we need to create a better, more sustainable, and inclusive future. Before we apply these tools, we need to take a step back, look at the whole picture and reach beyond the silos in which we live and work. We need to zoom out before we zoom in to tackle specific sustainability issues. By working together in good faith, we can solve the sustainability puzzle by addressing social, economic and environmental issues simultaneously. Alice Schmidt and Claudia Winkler are pragmatic thinkers and doers in achieving sustainability. Drawing on their combined 40+ years of experience in addressing issues of social justice, climate action, the circular economy, technology and sustainable business, they show why we should be optimistic about sustainable transformation and offer constructive insights on building back better.

Focusing on the concept of regulatory competition in European corporate law, the author critically examines the European private limited liability company (SPE) as a means to enhance corporate mobility for small and medium enterprises. By analyzing the evolution of case law from Centros to Cartesio, Winkler argues that the notion of regulatory competition remains largely illusory. Ultimately, she posits that the introduction of the SPE may not foster this competition but could instead impede progress in the development of corporate statutes across Europe.
