Establishing a successful European corporate political strategy aims at achieving three major steps: assessing the benefits of such a strategy in terms of information and influence, designing a tailor-made scheme integrating the specifics of the company, and implementing it efficiently through a thorough comprehension of policy-making mechanisms. Though not doctrinal, this paper hints at providing insights about Brussels' competencies and procedures so as for companies to be able to decide upon their course of actions with respect to European matters. We show that firms of all sizes and natures can defend their interests before the EU's authorities, with an economy of resources which does not engage the potential returns of their initiatives. Lobbying in Brussels revolves heavily around expertise, and we assert that "strategic communication of specialised information" can bring useful insights to many a company regardless of overlooked prior concerns.

In this work I investigate how executive social connections and executive gender diversity dually affect firm Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), a set of firm policies implemented to benefit the social, economic, and environmental welfare of all stakeholders, and how the changes in CSR driven by executive social connections and executive gender diversity in turn affect a range of corporate policies. This research adds to the social networks, gender, and CSR literature within finance in multiple ways. First, while much past work examines the impact on corporate policy of executive gender or executive social connections in isolation, no major work to date examines the impact of gender dependent executive social connections on corporate policy. Second, this work definitively ties the dual effects of executive gender diversity and social connections to firm CSR. The dual impact of social connections and gender diversity on CSR is shown to affect major corporate policies. In all, this work provides evidence that CSR helps drive important firm polices, including M&A and executive compensation policy, and that CSR is impacted by both a firm’s executive gender diversity and social network connections. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2019. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Magister Legum - LLM (Criminal Justice and Procedure) / Traditionally, domestic criminal law was focused on individual guilt as can be seen from the principles of punishment, which are closely linked to blameworthiness and the infliction of loss or punishment to the offender. It most often requires the proof of the offender's mental state at the time of the committing the offence. Due to the emergence of the concept of legal persona, there has emerged a framework of imputing criminal liability on entities with legal personality. This concept has gained momentum in the domestic criminal law systems of many countries. The modern-day development of corporate criminal responsibility (CCR) emerged from the common law countries and has undergone a series of developments. Various models of imputing liability on a corporation have been developed with the United Kingdom having recently passed laws for serious offences like corporate manslaughter.
