Project description:
Denmark participates, alongside with other member states, in the preparation phase on legislative and non-legislative instruments from UNCITRAL. However, Denmark is reluctant to adopt and implement the very same legislative and non-legislative instruments. Accordingly, the outset of this PhD thesis is to investigate the advantages and disadvantages in regard to implementation of the latest model law adopted by UNCITRAL in 2017 concerning electronic transferable records.

Project description:
Rights of nature are gaining traction. Several countries have adopted rights of nature laws (at constitutional, national, and local level) or recognised the rights of nature in court judgments. These laws and legal sources inter alia recognise that nature is a subject of the law, and, in certain cases, grant specific legal rights to nature. Born out of an Earth-centred or ecological paradigm, rights of nature (laws) present a fundamental challenge to the otherwise anthropocentric or human-centric system of law and governance.
Set against these developments, the PhD project studies the relationship(s) between the rights of nature and human rights in jurisdictions that recognise both categories of right-holders. Mindful that most legal and governance systems remain anthropocentric, individualistic and mechanistic in their very structure, the project will investigate what happens at the interface between the old paradigm (most existing individual human rights) and the new, ecological paradigm (the rights of nature). Questions to be explored include> When rights conflict (as they often do), whose rights prevail and under what circumstances? Is there a risk that the prevailing (anthropocentric) legal order will subsume and swallow the ecological one, rendering the rights of nature “mere rhetoric”? If so, what would it take for the ecological paradigm to penetrate the anthropocentric machinery of law?

Projektbeskrivelse:
Sandie Nøhr Nielsen arbejder på en ph.d.-afhandling der analyserer rammerne for mulige gevinster ved Offentlig-Privat Partnerskab (OPP), herunder i hvilken grad kontraktrummet i et OPP kan optimere samarbejdsværdien for den offentlige og private aftalepart. Afhandlingen har fokus på krydsfeltet mellem privatret og offentlig ret, og virkningerne heraf. Forskningen har et særligt fokus på sociale infrastrukturelle OPP’er og den kontraktuelle relation. Erfaringer fra Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen viser, at der for den offentlige part er flere forhold der gør sig gældende for, hvornår OPP er økonomisk fordelagtigt. Formålet med afhandlingen er, at forsøge at give et fællesoptimerende perspektiv på anvendelsen af OPP, for herigennem at øge samarbejdet mellem sektorerne, sikre en optimeret samarbejdsværdi og en optimering af OPP kontrakten.
