Regulating Open Banking Comparative Analysis of the EU the UK and Taiwan

Regulating Open Banking Comparative Analysis of the EU the UK and Taiwan

FinTech transformations have brought changes to the global financial markets and merit the attention of financial regulators across jurisdictions. This book is one of the first ones of its kind to look at open banking (OB). It examines regulatory approaches to OB by taking a broad view of comparative legal systems and through perspectives of transaction costs public choice and institutional design. The book looks at the legal implications by engaging in a two-tiered comparative analysis: comparing between compulsory and voluntary approaches to OB policies and comparing the legal systems between the West (i. e. the EU and the UK) and an Asian economy (i. e. Taiwan). | Regulating Open Banking Comparative Analysis of the EU the UK and Taiwan

Ethnomethodology Conversation Analysis and Constructive Analysis On Formal Structures of Practical Action

Ethnomethodology Conversation Analysis and Constructive Analysis On Formal Structures of Practical Action

This book revisits the arguments by which Harvey Sacks and Harold Garfinkel opposed the widespread attempt in the social sciences to construct disciplinary theories and methods in place of common-sense knowledge of human action and proposed instead an alternative that would investigate the organised methods of natural language use and common-sense reasoning that constitute social orders – arguments that led to the establishment and proliferation of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. As the very constructive analysis that they opposed has begun to be incorporated into influential lines of research in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis the authors return to the founding insights of the field and reiterate the importance of Garfinkel and Sacks’ original and controversial proposals for an alternate sociology of practical action and practical reasoning. Showing how constructive analysis has become entrenched in ethnomethodology and conversation analysis and arguing for a need to re-boot these approaches this volume constitutes a call for a renewal of the radical alternative proposed by Garfinkel and Sacks. | Ethnomethodology Conversation Analysis and Constructive Analysis On Formal Structures of Practical Action
