Occupy the System! Societal Constitutionalism and Transnational Corporate Accounting

Moritz Renner

Today’s most pressing constitutional question is posed by a global economic system whose expansive tendencies seem no longer controllable. In addressing this question, the theory of Societal Constitutionalism apparently shifts established ideological coordinates by developing a theory of the self-constitutionalization of social spheres. It seeks to combine the virtues of grassroots democracy with the sophistication of systemic social theory. Thus, its normative claim can be formulated as an oxymoron: “Occupy the System!” The claim is an oxymoron because it points to the apparent impossibility of critical social theory in a functionally differentiated society: How can a functional system such as the economy be “occupied” or “democratized”? Yet the oxymoron contains a grain of truth. With a view to the concrete example of transnational standard-setting procedures in the field of corporate accounting, this article examines institutional and systemic processes that enable an emerging political discourse at the core of the global economic system.

Kollisionsrecht und Konzernwirklichkeit in der transnationalen Unternehmensgruppe

Moritz Renner

espanolConflict of laws problems make it extremely difficult to efficiently organize transnational groups of corporations. In order to overcome such difficulties, the contribution makes the case for an extended recognition of the freedom of choice in cross-border contracts between group members. This approach is warranted by European conflict-of-laws rules and does not ne- cessarily lead to a lower standard of protection with regard to the rights of minority share- holders and creditors. The approach proposed here would contribute to closing the gap bet- ween the law in the books and the reality of transnational groups of corporations, as the lack of flexibility in conflict-of-laws rules often forces corporate actors to rely on private gover- nance alternatives. DeutschAusgangspunkt des Beitrags ist das Problem, dass die kollisionsrechtlichen Regeln des Inter- nationalen Konzernrechts fur die Organisation transnationaler Unternehmensgruppen oft- mals ein Hindernis darstellen. Dieses Problem lasst sich aber, so die zentrale These des Beitrags, durch eine weitgehende Anerkennung der Rechtswahlfreiheit fur grenzuberschrei- tende Konzernbeziehungen uberwinden. Erreicht werden kann dies schon im Rahmen des geltenden Rechts, ohne dass dabei den berechtigten Schutzanliegen des Konzernrechts Ab- bruch getan wurde. Die Lucke zwischen Kollisionsrecht und Konzernwirklichkeit wurde damit ein Stuck weit geschlossen. Denn die fehlende Flexibilitat des Internationalen Kon- zernrechts fuhrt heute dazu, dass transnationale Unternehmensgruppen sich vielfach durch informelle Regeln und Strukturen organisieren.

Konzernhaftung und deliktsrechtliche Durchgriffshaftung

Moritz Renner; Marie Kuntz

Der Beitrag erortert, ob eine Haftung fur Menschenrechtsverletzungen nach konzernrechtlichen Grundsatzen denkbar ist. Eine Untersuchung der gesellschaftsrechtlichen und deliktischen Konzernhaftung zeigt, dass eine Ausenhaftung im deutschen Recht kaum moglich ist, wahrend sie im common law konzeptionell besser begrundbar ist („piercing the corporate veil“). Die sich daran anschliesende Frage nach dem auf transnationale Sachverhalte anwendbaren Konzernrecht (Konzernkollisionsrecht) wird im Grundsatz zugunsten des Rechts der abhangigen Gesellschaft, d. h. typischerweise der auslandischen Tochtergesellschaft, beantwortet. Damit kommt auch aus Sicht des Internationalen Gesellschaftsrechts in vielen Konstellationen auslandisches Sachrecht zur Anwendung – ein Ergebnis, das sich mit dem Befund von Halfmeier deckt. Nach dem Kollisionsrecht der common law-Rechtsordnungen kann allerdings in Einzelfallen auch das Heimatrecht der Konzernmutter Anwendung finden.

Contractual business networks: the case of syndicated loans

Carmen Estevan de Quesada; Moritz Renner

Abstract There is a growing debate in law, economics and sociology about contractual business networks as a hybrid form of cooperation that combines governance elements from market and firm. Most treatments of the subject focus on the structures of supply and distribution networks and their consequences on liability and contractual interpretation. This article confronts network theory with the case of cross-border syndicated loans. Syndicated loans are a highly important instrument of corporate finance, and they merge contractual and corporate cooperation in a particularly sophisticated manner. Theories of network contracts can thus be helpful to address the legal issues of syndicated loans in different fields of law, ranging from conflict of laws to antitrust law. In turn, the analysis of syndicated loans as an example of horizontal business networks can help generate insights for the general discussion of networks in private law.

„Banking Without Banks“? Rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen des Peer-to-Peer Lending

Moritz Renner

Zusammenfassung Mit dem Peer-to-Peer Lending bekommen die Kreditinstitute neue Konkurrenz. Über spezielle Internet-Plattformen treten hier Kreditgeber und Kreditnehmer direkt miteinander in Kontakt. Die BaFin schränkt die Möglichkeiten des Peer-to-Peer Lending in Deutschland aber stark ein. Der Beitrag tritt de lege lata für eine engere, schutzzweckbezogene Auslegung der KWG-Vorgaben ein. De lege ferenda schlägt er vor, das Peer-to-Peer Lending von der Erlaubnispflicht nach § 32 KWG auszunehmen.

Transnational Governance and Evolutionary Theory

Gralf-Peter Calliess; Joerg Freiling; Moritz Renner

Law and economics has arguably become one of the most influential theories in contemporary legal theory and adjudication. The essays in this volume, authored by both legal scholars and economists, constitute lively and critical engagements between law and economics and new institutional economics from the perspectives of legal and evolutionary theory. The result is a fresh look at core concepts in law and economics – such as ‘institutions’, ‘institutional change’ and ‘market failure‘ – that offer new perspectives on the relationship between economic and legal governance.
