Quel plus bel exemple que la métropole de Paris pour décliner le droit comme facteur d’attractivité, tant l’enjeu de compétitivité juridique et économique est essentiel et ce, autant pour répondre à la fragmentation des places européennes qu’à l’émergence des grandes métropoles asiatiques ? À bien des égards, la place juridique de Paris se démarque des autres capitales et représente un lieu propice au conseil juridique et au règlement des litiges internationaux, notamment en raison du récent éparpillement des acteurs financiers mondiaux rassemblés auparavant dans la City londonienne pour accéder au marché unique européen et de la délocalisation du siège de l’Autorité bancaire européenne à Paris. Le présent ouvrage décrit l’attractivité économique de la place juridique de Paris sous tous ses angles. Il souligne l’importance fondamentale de raisonner en termes de « place », à l’instar des grandes métropoles des affaires, et relève l’existence d’un véritable écosystème d’acteurs contribuant au rayonnement de Paris comme centre d’excellence juridique. Pour se distinguer des places juridiques de Londres, Singapour, Amsterdam, New York, Bruxelles ou encore Francfort, la métropole parisienne mesure et décrit objectivement ses nombreux atouts ainsi que ses quelques faiblesses afin de mieux les isoler et d’y remédier en formulant des propositions d’amélioration en toute transparence et de la sorte consolider l’influence de Paris à l’étranger et affirmer son identité de place internationale du droit. De nombreux chercheurs et spécialistes français et internationaux, en économie et en droit, ont uni leurs forces, leurs études et leurs expertises qualitatives et quantitatives et compilé leurs résultats afin de parvenir à la publication de cet ouvrage.

Love often seems uncontrollable and irrational, but we just as frequently appear to have reasons for loving the people we do. In Love's Vision, Troy Jollimore offers a new way of understanding love that accommodates both of these facts, arguing that love is guided by reason even as it resists and sometimes eludes rationality. At the same time, he reconsiders love's moral status, acknowledging its moral dangers while arguing that it is, at heart, a moral phenomenon--an emotion that demands empathy and calls us away from excessive self-concern. Love is revealed as neither wholly moral nor deeply immoral, neither purely rational nor profoundly irrational. Rather, as Diotima says in Plato's Symposium, love is "something in between." Jollimore makes his case by proposing a "vision" view of love, according to which loving is a way of seeing that involves bestowing charitable attention on a loved one. This view recognizes the truth in the cliché "love is blind," but holds that love's blindness does not undermine the idea that love is guided by reason. Reasons play an important role in love even if they rest on facts that are not themselves rationally justifiable. Filled with illuminating examples from literature, Love's Vision is an original examination of a subject of vital philosophical and human concern.

The topic of women’s competition has gained significant recent momentum. This book provides direct evidence of this growth and is the first scholarly volume to focus specifically on the topic. In general, the included chapters provide a definitive view of the current state of knowledge regarding women’s competition. Many of the chapters are theoretically grounded in an evolutionary framework, such that the authors investigate the adaptive nature of women’s competitive behavior, motivations, and cognitions. Other chapters rely on a different framework, with these authors instead arguing that sociocultural sources shape women's competition. In addition, while the book is primarily about women, some contributors focus their chapters on issues faced by adolescent girls, or mention developmental trajectories for young girls through to adulthood. Some authors focus on nonhuman females to provide a stronger background for understanding women. It is hoped that the information within this volume will serve as a source of inspiration to help guide future directions for research.
