It provides a detailed description of the systems in operation in twelve countries around the world, investigating the complex legal structures and the interaction with other social institutions, as well as their inter-jurisdictional coordination through private international law. Current international trends are identified and assessed and the fundamental political issues highlighted and explored. The study's ultimate goals are not only descriptive but also to answer the question of how compensation and liability systems can best be adapted to meet society's needs in the 21st century. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\" align=\"left\"\u003eThe countries covered are: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eAustralia (Mark Lunney), Austria (Ernst Karner\/Felix Kernbichler), Denmark (Vibe Ulfbeck), England and Wales (Richard Lewis), France (Florence G'Sell\/Isabelle Veillard), Germany (Raimund Waltermann), Italy (Alessandro P Scarso\/Massimo Foglia), Japan (Keizo Yamamoto\/Tomohiro Yoshimasa), the Netherlands (Siewert D Lindenbergh), Poland (Domenika Dörre-Nowak), Romania (Christian Alunaru\/Lucian Bojin) and the United States of America (Michael D Green\/Daniel S Murdock). \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cp dir=\"ltr\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe book is completed by three concluding essays that address general themes: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003eThomas Thiede, The European Coordination of Employers' Liability and Workers' Compensation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003eKen Oliphant, The Changing Landscape of Work Injury Claims: Challenges for Employers' Liability and Workers' Compensation\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGerhard Wagner, New Perspectives on Employers' Liability - Basic Policy Issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ken Oliphant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48261101846779,"sku":"9783110269963","price":266.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_74aed196-3493-4032-9671-7b9b7c269de5.jpg?v=1775613980","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/employers-liability-and-workers-compensation-9783110269963","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
