One mechanism of dealing with this conflict is to incorporate the notion of the public interest within insolvency regulation. This article discusses theoretical justifications for incorporating public interest issues into insolvency law when dealing with insolvent utilities. The article argues that while that the indeterminacy argument provides a strong rationale for refusing to open up insolvency law to all interests that might have a nexus to financial distress of ordinary trading companies, the special nature of essential services tips the balance in favour of a limited use of the public interest within insolvency regulation of utilities. One problem with incorporating the public interest within regulation relates to definitional difficulties and the article discusses the different ways in which theorists have approached the problem of providing a coherent basis for identifying the public interest. The article identifies 6 elements that may comprise the public interest in utility insolvencies.","PeriodicalId":227672,"journal":{"name":"La Trobe Law School - Law & Justice Research Paper Series","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127788848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Peerenboom","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.1265114","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.1265114","url":null,"abstract":"China has generally benefited from globalization, particularly in the economic area, and Chinese citizens know it. China, for its part, has been one of the most open developing countries. The general trend since economic reforms began in 1978 has been toward greater openness, and a more competitive market economy. However, China never followed the Washington Consensus, particularly with respect to relationship between domestic economy and international economy. Moreover, Chinese government officials and citizens are now much more acutely aware of the many practices adopted by rich countries to pursue their own national economic interests and to protect their own domestic companies. As result, there are now signs of a retrenchment in China and a growing protectionism. Part I provides an overview of China's economic policies and development strategies, highlighting the differences between Beijing's development strategy and the Washington Consensus; the recent policy shift away from the focus on aggregate growth to a greater concern with sustainable development, social justice and the creation of a harmonious society; and the rise of nationalism and the increase in protectionist sentiments.Part II takes a closer look at various areas where there has been resistance to economic globalization, or signs of retrenchment, including WTO compliance, enforcement of IP rights, M&A regulations, anti-monopoly law, securities litigation, anti-dumping cases, property law, bankruptcy, labor law and the legal profession. Part III explains the recent push back on economic globalization, and why nevertheless the general trend is still toward greater openness and a more competitive economy.","PeriodicalId":227672,"journal":{"name":"La Trobe Law School - Law & Justice Research Paper Series","volume":"53 Suppl 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123395086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
