It uses a statement by Richard Posner in order to illustrate the approach commonly employed in law and economics: \"[I]f ... the value of life is infinite, then ... people would never take any risks, an obviously false description of human behaviour.\" The paper argues that this approach - while being perfectly legitimate for purposes of a purely economic analysis - neglects one aspect that cannot be neglected by the discipline of law and economics: The question whether our society ought to be committed to preserving life at any cost; whether the value of life (for purposes of the law) ought to be infinite. http://www.bilgintiryakioglu.av.tr/cartesio.pdf The judgement of the European Court of Justice in Cartesio was eagerly awaited as a clarification of the questions concerning the scope of the right of establishment (Articles 43, 48 EC) that remained after previous landmark decisions such as Centros, Uberseering, and Inspire Art. http://www.bilgintiryakioglu.av.tr/gatekeepers.pdf The financial scandals of the last decade have called into question the effectiveness of the system of securities regulation in many countries. http://auhf.ankara.edu.tr/journals/alr-archive/ALR-2006-03-01/alr-2006-03-01-tiryakioglu.pdf Turkish law has adopted a number of approaches regarding the question of dual or multiple citizenship since the Turkish Nationality Act (TVK) came into force in 1964, largely in response to migration movements. While Turkish citizens were not allowed to hold Turkish nationality when they wanted to acquire foreign nationality between 1964 and 1980, dual nationality was actually encouraged by the 1981 Amendment to the Turkish Nationality Act. http://www.bilgintiryakioglu.av.tr/citizenship.html On June 12 2009, the new Turkish Citizenship Act, No. 5901, was published in the official gazette and is now in force. The new act brought about some important changes in the law regarding the acquisition and loss of citizenship, notably, a condition to renounce an individuals original citizenship, if the former country does not allow dual citizenship.
