L'e-sport est actuellement en phase de développement économique constant. Toutefois, au regard de la nouveauté de la pratique, le cadre juridique peine parfois à s'adapter afin de rendre la pratique e-sportive pérenne économique et stable au regard de son cadre juridique. Il est dès lors important de structurer juridiquement l'e-sport afin de lui offrir un cadre économique solide. Cette pratique spécifique appelle une structuration par le droit du numérique et le droit de la propriété intellectuelle, cette recherche consiste ainsi à trouver un modèle pérenne de cadre juridique pour l'e-sport en s'inspirant de régimes déjà existants (droit du sport, de la propriété intellectuelle, de la concurrence ou encore droit de l'audiovisuel entre autres) afin que la pratique se développe sans entrave économique et par le prisme des technologies numériques en constante évolution. Cette recherche fait appel à des mécanismes déjà existants en droit, à des règlementations déjà applicables mais aussi à l'aménagement de nouvelles règles de droit, adaptées à la pratique e-sportive.

Au-delà de l’aspect numérique, Satoshi, fondateur anonyme du bitcoin, évoque l’organisation de « Pair à Pair » (P2P). Elle correspond à l’algorithmique répartie sur laquelle le registre décentralisé de ces nouveaux actifs se fonde. Mais le Règlement MiCA exclut la finance décentralisée et ne donne aucune définition satisfaisante des crypto-actifs. On étend cette observation aux actifs numériques, insuffisamment cernés en droit français. L’analyse de l’organisation P2P s’impose. On a identifié chez certains jetons une organisation participative, distincte des groupements et des contrats-coopération. Elle se caractérise par un degré et une forme d’indépendance nouvelle ainsi que par une socialité orientée vers un objet de nature impersonnelle, ouverte vers l’extérieur et sans structure (ni groupements ni contrats). Elle façonne ainsi la structure d’émission et la forme représentative et négociable de ces jetons. Ils sont des écrits représentant un bien ou un service et non un droit à l’encontre d’une personne émettrice. Ils sont émis dans une organisation participative : sans partage de pertes, de bénéfices, de chiffres d’affaires ou d’autres fruits. Leur qualification civiliste est le produit et non le fruit, contrairement aux titres financiers. L’organisation participative, elle, s’analyse comme un système, une nouvelle catégorie juridique que l’ordre juridique peut accueillir. L’ouverture du système vers l’extérieur nécessite la négociabilité des jetons. Elle concourt à la financiarisation de l’économie réelle. Comme la structure d’émission de ces jetons participatifs, leur infrastructure polycentrique de négociation appelle une régulation par l’organisation. Ces jetons sont aussi hybrides parce que participatifs et monétaires, et en tant que tels peuvent être considérés comme des unités de financement ; nouvelle définition de la monnaie que l’on propose, pour ne pas la réduire à sa seule fonction de paiement. Les jetons participatifs perturbent la summa divisio entre la monnaie et les instruments financiers ainsi que le concept même de droit subjectif.

Consentement à l’acte médical, à l’adoption, au traitement de données personnelles, aux relations sexuelles : le terme de consentement occupe une place particulière en droit des personnes. Cette thèse propose d’apporter des réponses à cette problématique sociale fondamentale à partir d’une approche critique du droit. Un nouveau regard peut ainsi être porté sur le consentement en l’appréhendant à la fois comme un phénomène politique et comme une réalité sociale. Le consentement en droit français correspond en premier lieu à un phénomène politique. Loin de jouer le rôle libéral qui lui est classiquement prêté, il représente plutôt une norme idéologique humaniste. Norme également fonctionnelle, le consentement permet aux pouvoirs publics de préserver l’ordre social. Le consentement représente en second lieu une réalité sociale. Les théories générales civilistes ne permettent pas de se saisir de cette réalité car, malgré leur attrait, elles présentent des limites. Nous proposons de nous tourner vers les analyses de justice sociale. Elles permettent d’identifier les inégalités sociales intersectionnelles qui affectent les consentements. Des analyses de justice sociale offrent également un cadre pour y répondre juridiquement. Le consentement peut ainsi être conçu comme un processus de reconnaissance et être encadré comme tel en droit.

Os acadêmicos divergem desde sempre a respeito do objetivo da companhia: atender ao interesse dos acionistas e buscar a maximização dos resultados ou, alternativa ou sucessivamente, atender ao interesse de outras partes interessadas? Porém, as linhas entre uma e outra correntes não são mais nítidas como antes. Com o crescente interesse nas chamadas métricas de ESG a sigla para Environmental, Social and Governance, modelos híbridos de governança têm sido pensados a partir da combinação de lucro e propósito. Nesse sentido parece evidente a consolidação de uma tendência no direito societário que, por falta de um termo melhor, possa ser qualificada como preponderantemente social. Sem prejuízo dessa evidência, o objetivo do trabalho não é o de defender uma ou outra corrente sobre a função da companhia. Num olhar pretensamente original, o estudo propõe outro enfoque: traçar a disciplina legal dos atos societários de orientação social, como materialização do interesse que os precede. Academics have always disagreed about the company\'s objective: to serve the interests of shareholders and seek to maximize results or, alternatively or successively, to serve the interests of stakeholders as other interested parties? However, the lines between one theory and another are no longer as clear as before. With the growing interest in the so-called ESG metrics the acronym for Environmental, Social and Governance, hybrid governance models are being designed based on the combination of profit and purpose. The consolidation of a trend in corporate law that, for lack of a better term, can be qualified as predominantly social is now clear. Notwithstanding the before, the objective of the study is not to defend one or another theory of the corporate objective. In an allegedly original perspective, the study proposes another approach: tracing the legal discipline of socially oriented corporate acts, as the externalization of the interest that precedes them.

A tese aborda as empresas estatais no contexto da Constituição Federal de 1988, destacando seu papel como instrumentos de ação do Estado na busca pela concretização dos objetivos constitucionais. O texto explora as características das empresas estatais, ressaltando sua submissão aos princípios da Administração Pública, bem como aos controles inerentes a essa esfera, como a tutela administrativa, o controle dos tribunais de contas e o controle jurisdicional. Destaca-se a importância do preenchimento do conteúdo do interesse público como guia para o exercício do poder de controle acionário e para a atuação dos órgãos sociais das empresas estatais. Nessa tarefa, propugna-se pela utilização de fontes legítimas de expressão do interesse público que, preferencialmente, e em alguma medida, passaram por processos de inclusão participativa daqueles afetos ao interesse público, seja direta ou indiretamente. Argumenta-se pela maior efetividade de políticas públicas que contam com essa natureza, baseados em experiência desenvolvimentista e na teoria da nova governança pública. Defende a organização e formalização do exercício do poder de controle societário, apoiando a criação de um colegiado para concentrar essa atividade, de modo a garantir formalização das orientações, devida consideração ao conteúdo do interesse público, e sopesamento da matéria vis-à-vis os demais interesses que o acionista controlador deve lealmente respeitar e atender. A tese destaca a necessidade de acomodar o interesse público nos órgãos da administração das empresas estatais, defendendo a nomeação de representantes dos titulares desse interesse no conselho de administração, assim como o estabelecimento de órgão interno com competência técnica de pesquisa, interação com a comunidade e elaboração de políticas relacionadas ao interesse público tutelado. Além disso, expõe sobre o conteúdo do interesse social da empresa estatal e aborda questões relacionadas aos deveres fiduciários do acionista controlador e dos administradores, enfatizando as peculiaridades resultantes da centralidade do interesse público no interesse social. Destaca os mecanismos de organização do exercício do poder de controle, para prevenção e controle de abusos de poder e situações de conflito de interesses. Destaca a contribuição dos mecanismos de tutela do interesse público no interior dos órgãos sociais da empresa estatal para o cumprimento dos deveres de diligência e lealdade dos administradores, prevenindo desvios de poder e assegurando a comutatividade nas operações da empresa estatal com partes relacionadas. The thesis addresses the state-owned enterprises within the context of the Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988, highlighting their role as instruments of state action in pursuit of constitutional objectives. The text explores the characteristics of state-owned enterprises, emphasizing their adherence to the principles of Public Administration, as well as the controls inherent in this sphere, such as administrative supervision, oversight by audit courts, and judicial control. The importance of defining the content of the public interest as a guide for exercising shareholder control and the functioning of the corporate bodies of state-owned enterprises is emphasized. In this endeavor, the thesis advocates the use of legitimate sources for expressing the public interest that, preferably, to some extent, have undergone participatory inclusion processes of those affected by the public interest, either directly or indirectly. The argument is made for the greater effectiveness of public policies with this nature, based on developmentalist experiences and the theory of new public governance. The thesis advocates for the organization and formalization of the exercise of shareholder control, supporting the creation of a board to centralize this activity, ensuring formalization of orientations, due consideration of the content of the public interest, and weighing the matter against other interests that the controlling shareholder must respect and uphold within its duty of loyalty. The thesis highlights the need to accommodate the public interest in the administration of state- owned enterprises, advocating for the appointment of representatives of those holding this interest on the board of directors, as well as the establishment of an internal body with technical role for research, interaction with the community, and the formulation of policies related to the protected public interest. Additionally, it discusses the content of the company interest of the state-owned enterprise and addresses issues related to the fiduciary duties of the controlling shareholder and administrators, emphasizing the particularities resulting from the centrality of the public interest in the company interest. It emphasizes the mechanisms for organizing the exercise of share control power, for the prevention and control of abuses of power and conflicts of interest. The thesis highlights the contribution of mechanisms to protect the public interest within the corporate bodies of the state-owned enterprise to fulfill the duties of diligence and loyalty of administrators, preventing abuses of power and ensuring arms length basis in the operations of the state-owned enterprise with related parties.

Esta Tese de Doutorado apresenta uma análise da legitimidade das deliberações em assembleias-gerais de credores em processos de recuperação judicial no Brasil, sob a ótica das normas estabelecidas pela Lei 11.101/05 e suas alterações pela Lei 14.112/20. O estudo é estruturado em seis capítulos. O primeiro capítulo corresponde à introdução. O segundo capítulo trata do papel dos credores na recuperação judicial, examinando os objetivos da recuperação judicial enquanto um processo de negociação estruturada. O terceiro capítulo aborda a estrutura rígida de divisão dos credores em classes, evidenciando problemas decorrentes da reunião de credores com interesses heterogêneos na mesma classe. Também no terceiro capítulo, a pesquisa analisa a criação de subclasses nas recuperações judiciais, com a possibilidade de tratamento diferenciado de credores, com vistas a avaliar se tais práticas mitigam o problema da legitimidade das deliberações quanto ao plano de recuperação judicial e atendem aos objetivos de uma recuperação judicial eficiente. O quarto capítulo analisa como a organização dos credores em classes ocorre em sistemas de outros países, buscando alternativas e soluções para os desafios identificados no sistema brasileiro. O quinto capítulo propõe soluções e medidas mitigatórias aos problemas identificados no estudo, visando a otimizar o processo deliberativo e garantir uma representação mais efetiva dos interesses dos credores, incluindo possíveis alterações legislativas. No último e sexto capítulo, serão sintetizadas as conclusões que podem ser extraídas do trabalho como um todo. This Doctoral Thesis presents an analysis of the legitimacy of deliberations in general meeting of creditors in judicial reorganization proceedings in Brazil, under the perspective of the norms of the Law 11.101/05 and its amendments by Law 14.112/20. The study is structured in six chapters. The first chapter corresponds to the introduction. The second chapter deals with the role of creditors in judicial reorganization proceedings, examining the objectives of a judicial reorganization proceedings as a proceeding of structured negotiation. The third chapter addresses the rigid structure of division of creditors into classes, highlighting problems arising from the gathering of creditors with heterogeneous interests in the same class. Also in the third chapter, the research analyzes the creation of subclasses in judicial reorganization proceedings, with the possibility of different treatment to creditors, to assess whether such practices mitigate the problem of the legitimacy of deliberations regarding the judicial reorganization plan and meet the objectives of an efficient judicial reorganization proceedings. The fourth chapter examines how the organization of creditors into classes occurs in systems of other countries, seeking alternatives and solutions to the challenges identified in the Brazilian system. The fifth chapter proposes solutions and mitigating measures to the problems identified in the study, aiming to optimize the deliberative process and ensure a more effective representation of the interests of creditors, including possible legislative changes. In the last and sixth chapter, the conclusions that can be drawn from the work will be synthesized.

Workforces are made up of individuals with differences in personal characteristics, differences that may be traced back to unique personality types and traits and – sometimes – neurodivergence. Due to the inherent subjectivity of the interpersonal relationships that form the foundation of a work environment, these differences in personal characteristics inevitably lead to tension. In addition, as part of managing a work environment employers frequently take decisions that may be influenced by views and perceptions regarding employees’ personal characteristics. This study starts with a descriptive examination of the meaning of personality and the influence that personality traits and types may have on employment. This is followed by a descriptive examination of neurodivergence, the various forms of neurodivergence, and the impact of these conditions on the work environment. Building on these descriptive and conceptual underpinnings, the legal implications of neurodiversity in the workplace are investigated by identifying which principles of the existing South African employment law framework may be utilised to provide protection and promote respect for neurodiversity and the neurodiverse differences between employees. This encompasses a discussion of the South African employment law rules relating to recruitment and selection of employees, some of the rules applicable to the day-to-day management of employees, and the rules relating to termination of employment that may be (in)directly influenced by considerations of neurodiversity. The focus thereafter shifts to consider the legal principles of employment discrimination law, where it is found that the listed ground of disability and an unlisted arbitrary ground may potentially be used as the applicable grounds of discrimination by employees if they are prejudiced due to their neurodiverse characteristics. In addition, the possibility that the rules on reasonable accommodation may be utilised as primary mechanism to properly regulate neurodiversity in the work environment and protect against prejudicial treatment of employees due to their inherent personal neurodiverse characteristics is also considered. The South African position and potential employment law rules that may apply to the management of neurodiversity in the work environment is compared to the position in the United Kingdom by focusing on the meaning of disability, the right to reasonable adjustments, and the right to request flexible working arrangements. Finally, the conclusions that may be drawn from this study are emphasised and are followed by some recommendations on how (reasonable) accommodation of neurodiversity in the work environment may appropriately be used as primary mechanism to provide employees with sufficient and appropriate protection of differences in neurodiverse characteristics. Even though this study focuses on neurodiversity and neurological differences between employees, the principles and recommendations from this study may be of value in relation to the appropriate management and regulation of all inherent differences between employees.

La thèse analyse en profondeur la procédure de vente d’un immeuble saisi, en comparant les législations française, OHADA (Organisation pour l’Harmonisation en Afrique du Droit des Affaires) et alsacienne-mosellane. Elle montre que la saisie immobilière, bien que complexe, reste un instrument essentiel de recouvrement des créances pour les créanciers. Dans une première partie, l’auteur aborde la vente forcée, procédure judiciaire par laquelle le créancier poursuit la vente de l’immeuble du débiteur défaillant pour se faire payer. En droit français, la procédure est fortement judiciarisée : elle impose la saisine du juge de l'exécution, la rédaction d’un cahier des conditions de vente, une audience d’orientation, puis éventuellement une vente aux enchères. En droit OHADA, la procédure est moins détaillée mais tout aussi formaliste, avec une audience dite « des criées », mais sans équivalent à l’audience d’orientation. Le notaire joue un rôle plus important en Alsace-Moselle, où le droit local déjudiciarise la procédure, confiant à ce dernier la gestion des ventes.La deuxième partie traite des issues négociées, comme la vente amiable. En France, elle est encouragée sous autorisation du juge et permet d’éviter une adjudication souvent perçue comme brutale. Le droit OHADA, au contraire, ne prévoit pas explicitement la vente amiable, mais la pratique reconnaît parfois son utilité. L’auteur montre les tensions entre formalisme juridique et souplesse pragmatique, surtout quand la vente vise à préserver le logement familial du débiteur.L’approche historique enrichit l’analyse : en France, la saisie a évolué depuis les ordonnances royales, avec des réformes majeures en 1938, 1991, 2006 et la codification en 2012. En Afrique, l’OHADA, par l’adoption de l’AUPSRVE (Acte uniforme sur les procédures simplifiées de recouvrement et des voies d'exécution), a cherché à harmoniser et sécuriser les procédures civiles, souvent héritées du droit colonial français. Toutefois, la réforme de 2023 n’a pas permis de moderniser en profondeur la saisie immobilière, soulignant le besoin d’adaptation aux réalités socio-économiques africaines.Enfin, l’auteur propose une réflexion critique sur l’efficacité et l’humanité de la procédure, en insistant sur l’importance d’un équilibre entre le droit du créancier et la protection du débiteur. Il plaide pour une plus grande ouverture aux solutions amiables, notamment dans l’espace OHADA. This doctoral thesis offers a comparative legal study on the sale of seized real estate under French law, OHADA law, and the Alsace-Moselle local law system. The seizure and forced sale of property are key mechanisms for debt recovery, though they are often complex, lengthy, and emotionally charged.The first part focuses on forced sale procedures. In French law, this involves strict judicial control, including issuing an enforcement order, drafting terms of sale, holding an orientation hearing, and eventually organizing a public auction. In OHADA law, the process is also formalistic but lacks the nuanced judicial orientation stage seen in France. Instead, there is a “criée” hearing. In Alsace-Moselle, the process is unique: it is largely non-judicial, with the notary conducting the entire sale procedure after the initial court authorization.The second part explores negotiated outcomes, particularly the amicable sale. French law encourages out-of-court sales with judicial approval to avoid public auctions, which are often distressing for debtors. OHADA law does not formally allow for amicable sales, but informal practices sometimes accommodate them. The thesis highlights the tension between legal formalism and practical flexibility, especially when the debtor's home is at stake.The historical perspective strengthens the comparative study. France underwent several legal reforms: 1938, 1991, 2006, and the 2012 codification of enforcement procedures. In contrast, OHADA countries inherited fragmented colonial laws. The 1998 AUPSRVE was a major step toward legal harmonization across member states. However, the 2023 reform fell short of expectations, leaving key issues in seizure and sale processes unresolved, notably the lack of modernization and borrower protection.The author emphasizes the need for a fair balance between creditor rights and debtor protection. He advocates for greater use of amicable solutions, particularly in OHADA jurisdictions where formal options remain limited and social contexts differ significantly from European systems. The thesis suggests that legal systems should be both effective and humane, offering realistic tools adapted to each region’s economic and cultural realities.

Alors que la finance traditionnelle peine à se renouveler, les nouveaux applicatifs de finance décentralisée proposent des services financiers basés sur des protocoles innovants, codés et entièrement gérés par les utilisateurs. Les classifications historiques de la finance sont largement inefficaces et des catégories telles que celle des instruments financiers ne permettent pas de construire un encadrement pertinent. Celles-ci doivent être dépassées pour pouvoir encadrer de façon plus inclusive tous les actifs décentralisés. La communication financière est rendue désuète et nécessite une refonte pour prendre en compte les nouvelles motivations des investisseurs et les impératifs environnementaux. Traditional finance is struggling to renew, new decentralized finance applications offer financial services based on coded protocols entirely managed by users. Historical classifications of finance are largely ineffective and categories such as financial instruments do not allow to construct a relevant framework. These must be overcome to be able to regulate all decentralized assets in a more inclusive manner. Financial communication has become obsolete and requires an overhaul to consider the new motivations of investors and environmental imperatives.

Este trabalho apresenta a tese de que, embora as normas constantes dos arts. 153 e seguintes da Lei no 6.404/76 continuem aplicáveis e o objeto dos deveres legais dos administradores de sociedades anônimas permaneça inalterado mesmo após a instauração de um cenário de crise econômico-financeira na companhia, em grande medida regrado pela Lei no 11.101/05, a instalação da referida crise causa uma modificação no conteúdo desses deveres. Para tanto, o trabalho adota como ponto de partida a jurisprudência e a literatura especializada norte-americanas, apresentando criticamente os casos mais recentes e relevantes julgados pelas Cortes de Delaware, bem como uma sistematização da literatura especializada pertinente. A análise crítica dos casos da jurisprudência norte-americana permite a compreensão da transição de um entendimento baseado na trust fund doctrine, segundo o qual, após a instauração da insolvência, mediante a aplicação da insolvency exception, haveria um shift por meio do qual os credores passariam a ser os destinatários dos deveres fiduciários dos administradores, para o entendimento mais recente de que o destinatário dos deveres fiduciários é apenas a companhia, ainda que devam ser levados em consideração pelos administradores os demais interesses que compõem o interesse social, tais como os interesses de credores, trabalhadores, consumidores. Em seguida, considerando que o conceito de crise econômico-financeira tem contornos incertos, o trabalho busca identificar instrumentos indicadores da instalação da crise. Para tanto, o trabalho não apenas revisita os conceitos clássicos de insolvência e insolvabilidade, mas também propõe novos enquadramento e sistematização, visando ao apontamento de elementos objetivos que, considerados em conjunto, permitam identificar com maior nitidez os contornos do estado de crise econômico-financeira. Posteriormente, o trabalho trata do tema central desta tese, começando pela lógica, os limites e a dinâmica da administração de sociedades anônimas em crise, especialmente diante da colidência de interesses de acionistas e de credores e da intensificação desses conflitos depois de instaurado o cenário de crise, passando pela contínua aplicabilidade da Lei no 6.404/76 e pelas razões que levam à alteração do conteúdo dos deveres legais dos administradores de sociedades anônimas em crise. A seguir, o trabalho demonstra que o ângulo mais adequado à análise dos deveres legais dos administradores de sociedades anônimas em crise no Brasil não é o da alteração do objeto dos deveres, nem o da alteração dos seus destinatários, tampouco o da alteração dos titulares de interesses contingentes na companhia, mas sim o da modificação do conteúdo dos referidos deveres. O trabalho adota, ainda, uma lente pragmática, buscando compreender a dimensão em que o conteúdo dos deveres é modificado após a instauração da crise, considerando uma lista exemplificativa das hipóteses mais relevantes, do ponto de vista prático e acadêmico, em que tais deveres entram em discussão: (i) dever de conhecer a situação econômico-financeira da companhia; (ii) deveres informacionais; (iii) dever de avaliar a adoção de medidas de reestruturação e de evitar o agravamento da crise; (iv) deveres relacionados à alienação e oneração de ativos; e (v) deveres relacionados à contratação de novos financiamentos. Por fim, o trabalho apresenta e discute a apuração da responsabilidade e outras possíveis consequências decorrentes do eventual descumprimento dos deveres legais dos administradores das sociedades anônimas em crise. This study presents the thesis that, although the norms set forth in articles 153 and following of Law No. 6,404/76 remain applicable and the object of the legal duties of administrators of public companies remains unchanged after the onset of a scenario of economic and financial crisis in the company, largely regulated by Law No. 11,101/05, financial distress causes a modification in the content of these duties. To this end, the study takes as its starting point the north American precedents and literature, critically presenting the most recent and relevant cases judged by the Delaware Courts, as well as a systematization of the relevant literature. The critical analysis of cases from north American jurisprudence allows the comprehension of the transition from an understanding based on the trust fund doctrine, according to which, after the onset of insolvency, through the application of the insolvency exception, there would be a shift whereby creditors would become the recipients of the fiduciary duties of directors, to the more recent understanding that the recipient of fiduciary duties is only the company, although directors should take into account other interests that compose company`s interest, such as the interests of creditors, workers, consumers. Next, the study investigates the concept of economic and financial distress. Considering that this concept has uncertain contours, the study seeks to identify indicative instruments of the installation of the economic and financial crisis. To do so, the study not only revisits classical themes, such as the concepts of insolvency and insolvability but also proposes new frameworks and systematization, aiming to highlight objective elements that, considered together, allow a clearer identification of the state of economic and financial crisis. Subsequently, the study addresses the central theme of this thesis, beginning with the logic, limits, and dynamics of the administration of companies in financial distress, especially in the face of the collision of interests between shareholders and creditors and the intensification of these conflicts after the onset of the crisis scenario, going through the continuous applicability of Law No. 6,404/76 and the reasons that lead to the alteration of the content of the legal duties of directors of companies in financial distress. Afterwards, the work demonstrates that the most appropriate approach to analyzing the legal duties of administrators of companies in crisis in Brazil is not that of changing the duties\' scope, nor altering their recipients, nor changing the holders of contingent interests in the company. Instead, the work advocates for examining the modifying content of these duties. The work also adopts a pragmatic lens, seeking to understand the extent to which the content of these duties is altered after the onset of the crisis, considering an illustrative list of the most relevant hypotheses, from practical and academic points of view, in which such duties come into discussion, namely: (i) duty to know the economic and financial situation of the company; (ii) informational duties; (iii) duty to assess the adoption of restructuring measures and to avoid the worsening of the crisis; (iv) duties related to the alienation and encumbrance of assets; and (v) duties related to the contracting of new financing. Finally, the study presents and critically discusses aspects related to the determination of responsibility and other possible consequences arising from the eventual non-compliance with the legal duties of managers and directors of companies in the brink of insolvency.

El estudio de los Dispute Boards (DB) y su función social reflejada a través de la prevención y resolución de conflictos empresariales en contratos complejos es el tema central de este estudio. El problema de investigación planteado, en este contexto, es si los Dispute Boards son institutos capaces de desempeñar una función social basada en la prevención y resolución de conflictos en contratos mercantiles complejos. Así, el tema se desarrolla con base en el método dialéctico de la producción científica, apoyado en investigaciones bibliográficas y documentales, además de investigaciones de campo, con encuestas cuantitativas y cualitativas sobre el uso de los DBs. Para ello, el estudio busca contextualizar los conceptos que involucran al mercado, la empresa y la función social como factores que permean contratos comerciales complejos, caracterizados por incertidumbres y riesgos relacionados con la ejecución contractual que deben ser gestionados a través de la implementación de una gobernanza guiada. por principios que implementen la eficiencia de la relación comercial. La referencia a estándares internos en el ámbito de la administración pública también se utiliza para guiar el estudio, que también se abarca en la aplicación del gobierno corporativo, identificando los DBs como vectores para implementar contratos complejos y, en consecuencia, promover y entregar valor sostenible a las empresas. y otras partes interesadas, concluyendo que son mecanismos relevantes para promover la función social, prevenir y resolver conflictos, especialmente en contratos complejos. De la misma manera, se identifica la necesidad de potenciar el instituto DB, atribuyendo personalidad jurídica, además de la contractual, a sus decisiones, con el fin de potenciar su propia función social basada en la seguridad jurídica de los dictámenes deliberantes vinculantes emitidos, presentando, al final, una propuesta de proyecto de ley con el objetivo de iniciar el proceso legislativo para implementar esta realidad jurídica, siguiendo el ejemplo del instituto de arbitraje.

The overlap of financial, economic, ecological, and political crises has pushed the consensus on the need to promote a socio-ecological transformation, or, in short, a green transition. The discontent with the corporate world for its contributions to those crises has taken a central stage, with calls for greater corporate responsibility being articulated under a sustainability imperative. In the context of a new round of debates on the purpose of companies, this thesis examines the turning of corporate law and governance into a site for advancing a new capitalism. More specifically, the research investigates institutional changes occurring under the label of the public turn in corporate law, addressing the following questions: what constitutes the so-called public turn? What are its drivers and the perspectives on it? Which structural features led to targeting corporate law and governance to push for responsible corporate conduct? How does the public turn in corporate law relates to the broader set of actors and norms that shape corporate governance? Guided by critical approaches to the green transition and by political theories of corporate governance, the thesis resorts to different scholarships to examine the current wave of public oriented corporate governance mechanisms from within and from without corporate law. On the one side, the thesis offers a taxonomy of corporate law strategies being employed as well as a rich account on the multiple dimensions assumed by the new tools, placed at the intersection of human rights and environmental protection, corporate social responsibility, and global value chains. On the other, the thesis embeds corporate laws public turn within the unfolding of global capitalism, as the field evolves from corporate law to corporate governance to sustainable corporate governance. The thesis argues that the public turn in corporate law, caught in between the global and the local, enables the investigation of changing roles of states, businesses, and civil society within the political and epistemic terrain of the transition to a more just and sustainable economy. A sobreposição de crises financeiras, econômicas, ecológicas e políticas impulsiona o consenso sobre a necessidade de uma transformação socioecológica, ou, em resumo, uma transição verde. O descontentamento com o mundo corporativo assume centralidade, motivando demandas por mais responsabilidade corporativa, articuladas em torno de um imperativo de sustentabilidade. No contexto de uma nova rodada de debates sobre o interesse social, esta tese examina a transformação do direito societário e da governança corporativa em um locus de promoção de um 'novo capitalismo'. Mais especificamente, a pesquisa investiga as mudanças institucionais ocorrendo sob "a virada pública no direito societário", abordando as seguintes perguntas: o que constitui a esta virada? Quais são seus impulsionadores e perspectivas? Quais características estruturais levaram a mirar o direito societário e a governança para promover conduta corporativa responsável? Como a virada pública no direito societário se relaciona com o conjunto mais amplo de atores e normas que moldam a governança corporativa? Guiada por abordagens críticas da transição verde e por teorias políticas da governança corporativa, a tese recorre a diferentes correntes acadêmicas para examinar a atual onda de mecanismos de governança corporativa orientados para o público, de dentro e de fora do direito corporativo. Por um lado, a tese oferece uma taxonomia das estratégias do direito societário utilizadas, bem como um relato abrangente sobre as múltiplas dimensões assumidas pelas novas ferramentas, na interseção de direitos humanos, proteção ambiental, responsabilidade social corporativa e cadeias de valor globais. Por outro lado, a tese contextualiza a virada pública do direito societário nos desdobramentos do capitalismo global, à medida que o campo evolui do direito societário para a governança corporativa para a governança corporativa sustentável. A tese argumenta que a virada pública no direito corporativo, situada entre o global e o local, permite a investigação das mudanças nos papéis dos estados, empresas e sociedade civil no terreno político e epistêmico da transição para uma economia mais justa e sustentável.

The main aim of this thesis is to solve the uncertainties brought about by dismissals for off-duty misconduct. First, it should be acknowledged that the world as we know it has changed and continues to evolve. Dismissals have been significantly impacted by the use of social media outside the workplace. The legalisation of the use of cannabis by an adult person has also brought uncertainties in the way dismissals are handled, especially in cases where an employee consumes cannabis off-duty. These two aspects have significantly influenced dismissals for off-duty misconduct in South Africa, with employees alleging that their rights to privacy, dignity and freedom of expression are infringed. The thesis reveals that regardless of these modern changes, off-duty misconduct dismissal is still governed by the generic provisions of the Labour Relations Act 1995 and its Code of Good Practice: Dismissal. The thesis underscores the lack of clarity regarding the regulation of dismissals for off-duty misconduct in South Africa. Furthermore, despite the judiciary’s establishment of tests (the nexus test and the breakdown of the employment relationship), challenges in adjudicating off-duty misconduct cases persist. This thesis analyses the South African legal framework governing dismissals for off-duty misconduct. The research investigates the evolution of South African dismissal law, tracing its development from the pre-democratic era to the post-democratic era. This investigation scrutinises the shifts in the legal landscape regarding dismissals for off-duty misconduct. The analysis encompasses a range of legal instruments pertinent to South Africa, including legislation, international law, common law, and judicial precedent. The current need for a Code of Good Practice for off-duty misconduct dismissal is highlighted. This rationale is prompted by a comparative examination of other countries where, despite the absence of specific codes addressing off-duty misconduct, a proactive stance has been adopted to safeguard employees’ off-duty rights by enacting relevant legislation. These chosen states have statutes regulating employees’ off-duty conduct and clarifying which conduct is protected and in which circumstances. Consequently, the thesis proposes a Code of Good Practice: Dismissal for Off-duty Misconduct. This Code would assist in the uniformity of application of relevant aspects in determining the fairness of dismissals for off-duty misconduct, thus alleviating labour suits concerning this type of dismissal. The Code would also provide employers with guidelines on how to draft off-duty misconduct policies without infringing employees’ constitutional rights.

La concentration des marchés numériques autour d’une poignée d’opérateurs de plateforme numérique structurante, notion développée dans l’étude, tend à soulever des problèmes économiques et sociétaux. En matière de concurrence, en premier lieu, de nombreux économistes ont mis en exergue les défaillances des marchés sur lesquels interviennent ces acteurs (i.e. effets de verrouillage tels que les effets de réseau et la capture des données, économies d’échelle et d’envergure) ainsi que les effets néfastes pour la liberté de choix des utilisateurs et l’innovation. Les problèmes de concurrence interplateforme et intraplateforme s’accompagnent de problèmes plus sociétaux liés à la concentration des flux d’information autour des écosystèmes construits par ces opérateurs et au sein desquels les utilisateurs sont maintenus captifs. Les opérateurs de plateforme numérique structurante ont acquis une position incontournable sur l ’internet leur conférant un rôle de quasi-régulateur des activités en ligne. Cette situation tend à affaiblir la liberté d’expression et d’information des utilisateurs, leur liberté d’association et liberté de réunion ainsi que leur droit au respect de la vie privée. Fort de ce constat, qui a appelé de nombreuses réponses législatives de la part des pouvoirs publics, en Europe particulièrement, l’étude analyse plus spécifiquement l’interopérabilité comme un outil permettant, lorsque c’est nécessaire et proportionné, d’ouvrir les écosystèmes des opérateurs de plateforme numérique structurante afin de promouvoir la liberté de choix des utilisateurs, la concurrence et l’innovation. Raisonnant par analogie avec le droit des communications électroniques ainsi que d’autres régimes ayant mis en place ce type de remède d’accès (e.g. droit de la concurrence, règlement sur les marchés numériques, droit bancaire, droit des transports), les bénéfices de l’interopérabilité pour renforcer l’autonomie des utilisateurs sont mis en exergue. L’étude s’intéresse aussi aux implications de l’adoption d’un tel remède en droit positif et son effet notamment sur les droits des débiteurs (e.g. propriété intellectuelle) et des tiers concernés (e.g. vie privée). Elle s’intéresse également aux difficultés de mise en œuvre de l’interopérabilité qui comporte une forte dimension technique et qui serait amenée à être imposée sur des marchés présentant d’importantes asymétries d’information. S’inspirant des solutions dégagées au sein de différents instruments juridiques, l’étude propose des pistes pour assurer une application efficace du remède.

A narrativa da globalização é ambígua, visto que, em âmbito internacional, o discurso é de liberalização dos mercados para que as empresas mais eficientes e inovadoras prosperem; contudo, no plano doméstico, os Estados Nacionais procuram controlar minuciosamente a entrada de capital estrangeiro em seu território. Em especial, esse controle recai sobre a aquisição de empresas nacionais, já que essas operações econômicas podem transferir o controle de: (i) mercados nacionais (ii) tecnologia crítica e know-how; (iii) infraestrutura estratégica; e (iv) informações e dados sensíveis. Trata-se de elementos que, individualmente ou em conjunto, influenciam a soberania de um país. Por força do discurso liberalizante da globalização, é comumente propagado que a análise antitruste no controle de estruturas deve ser neutra e focada no trade-off entre eficiência e os efeitos deletérios unilaterais, coordenados e de fechamento de mercado que eventualmente possam existir em um ato de concentração. Dessa forma, a presente tese de doutorado investiga fenômenos jurídicos que fogem do consenso do direito concorrencial ortodoxo, a saber: (i) a incidência de inúmeros interesses para bloquear investimento estrangeiros indesejáveis em empresas e ativos nacionais; (iii) os efeitos dos subsídios estatais em empresas privadas (campeões nacionais) e públicas (empresas estatais) para disputa de mercados alienígenas, e, consequentemente, melhor posicionar os seus respectivos Estados Nacionais na ordem econômica internacional. Sustenta-se que, hoje, o direito concorrencial pátrio se encontra paralisado pelo discurso liberalizante da globalização; contudo, existem elementos suficientes para uma nova teoria antitruste do dano para tutela da soberania econômica nacional, tendo em vista que o art. 219 da Constituição Federal de 1988 protege o mercado interno como patrimônio nacional, capaz de viabilizar o desenvolvimento cultural e socioeconômico por meio da endogeinização dos centros de decisão nas empresas nacionais. Por fim, defende-se que nova teoria do dano demanda adaptações e flexibilizações às ferramentas tradicionais do direito concorrencial, especialmente em relação à análise: (i) da nacionalidade das pessoas jurídicas envolvidas no ato de concentração; e (ii) das estratégias de financiamento para aquisição da empresa alvo (o abuso de poder econômico- financeiro em atos de concentração); e (iii) do conceito de grupo econômico de empresas estatais. The narrative of globalization is ambiguous, whereby at the international level, the discourse pertains to liberalizing markets so that the most efficient and innovative companies prosper; however, at the domestic level, nations seek to control, meticulously, the entry of foreign capital into their territory. This is particularly evident when considering the merger review with domestic companies, as these economic operations can transfer control of: (i) domestic markets (ii) critical technology and know-how; (iii) strategic infrastructure; and (iv) sensitive information and data. These are elements that individually or together influence the sovereignty of a country. Due to the liberalizing discourse of globalization, it is commonly propagated that antitrust analysis of mergers must be neutral and focused on the trade-off between efficiency and the antitrust damages that could potentially arise. Therefore, this doctoral thesis investigates legal phenomena that deviate from the consensus of orthodox competition law, that is: (i) the incidence of numerous public interests in antitrust legislation; (ii) the instrumentalization of competition law to block undesirable foreign investment in domestic companies and assets; (iii) the effects of state subsidies on private (national champions) and public (state-owned companies) companies to compete for foreign markets, and, consequently, better position their respective nations in the international economic order. It is argued that, today, Brazilian Competition Law is paralyzed by the liberalizing discourse of globalization, however, there are sufficient elements for a new antitrust theory of damage to protect national economic sovereignty, considering that article 219 of the Brazilian Constitution protects the internal market as a national asset, capable of enabling cultural and socioeconomic development through the endogenization of decision-making centers in domestic companies. Finally, it is argued that the new theory of damage demands adaptations to and flexibility of the traditional tools of competition law, especially in relation to the analysis of: (i) the nationality of the companies involved in the merger or acquisition; and (ii) financing strategies involved in mergers and acquisitions (the abuse of economic-financial power); and (iii) the concept of economic group of state-owned companies.

Le législateur OHADA s'est inspiré du droit français pour fixer le cadre juridique de la variabilité du capital social ; d'où l'étude orientée vers une approche comparatiste. Cette approche a permis une confrontation entre deux (02) systèmes juridiques, en vue de dégager les problèmes de droit et d'envisager une amélioration du cadre juridique de la variabilité du capital en droit OHADA ; l'objectif étant de dégager une contribution à l'amélioration du droit OHADA à travers le droit comparé. A l'analyse, il ressort que la variabilité du capital social comporte des facteurs attractifs pour les acteurs économiques. En effet, elle constitue un mécanisme de financement des sociétés, en raison d'une part, de sa capacité à renforcer les capitaux propres sans charge financière et, d'une part, de sa capacité à constituer un actionnariat spécifiquement orienté sur la rentabilité des sociétés. De même, elle pourrait susciter un intérêt pour les investisseurs intéressés par la célérité et l'efficacité dans les opérations de financement des entreprises. L'efficacité du financement de la société par la mise en œuvre de la clause de variabilité du capital est tributaire, entre autres, de son attractivité auprès des acteurs économiques de manière générale, des investissements et des professionnels du droit en particulier. Cependant, plusieurs facteurs ne militeraient pas en faveur du recours à la variabilité du capital. Parmi ces facteurs figurent les risques découlant de la réduction du capital et la méconnaissance des acteurs économiques et des praticiens du droit de l'existence et/ou du fonctionnement du mécanisme de la variabilité du capital. Or, ces risques ne sont pas irrémédiables, dans la mesure où il existe des mécanismes juridiques appropriés pour y faire face. En somme, l'analyse du fonctionnement du mécanisme de la variabilité du capital social a mis en évidence ses capacités de mobilisation de financement, de recapitalisation de la société, de restructuration de la société et d'apporter une contribution à l'amélioration du cadre juridique des sociétés à capital variable. Elle a également permis de démontrer l'insuffisance de la justification ou du fondement du désintérêt des acteurs économiques et des praticiens du droit à l'égard de la variabilité du capital social

L'accès aux soins de santé, notamment des plus pauvres, est une préoccupation au coeur des réflexions dans tous les systèmes politiques et juridiques nationaux. La question se pose davantage sur le continent africain où il existe peu de mécanismes de couverture santé. Les différents projets de Couverture maladie universelle initiés dans un certain nombre de pays africains tentent d'y apporter des solutions, mais peinent encore à se déployer. C'est le cas en Côte d'Ivoire depuis l'entrée en vigueur, le 1er octobre 2019, de la loi n°2014-131 du 24 mars 2014 instituant la Couverture maladie universelle. En dehors des travailleurs salariés et des fonctionnaires en activité ou à la retraite, les populations intègrent lentement et difficilement la CMU pourtant obligatoire pourtous. Il faut dire que le projet fait l'objet de critiques et de peu d'adhésion de la part de la population. Il pèche également par ses dispositions qui alimentent ces critiques, notamment sur la durée du délai de carence s’imposant à l’assuré, le caractère obligatoire de l'activité professionnelle pour les étrangers, le manque d'ouverture à d'autres formes de médecine telle que la médecine traditionnelle. Cela dit, l'exercice du droit fondamental à la santé dans un environnement marqué par un secteur informel important et une population à majorité pauvre passe par un système obligatoire et solidaire de mutualisation du risque comme la CMU. Reste à déterminer le modèle adéquat, notamment en termes de financement, afin de mettre en adéquation son objectifd’universalité et le contexte dans lequel il est mis en oeuvre.

À rebours des droits originellement africains, les droits modernes africains, tel qu'ils ont été hérités de la colonisation peinent à satisfaire l'aspiration des sociétés africaines à un minimum de normativisation des relations sociales. Le refus du juge d'adapter le contrat déséquilibré en cas d'un changement de circonstances imprévisible en droit civil des pays francophones d'Afrique au Sud du Sahara, résultant du mimétisme du Code civil français de 1804, en témoigne. Par son refus obstiné, le juge poursuit une politique coloniale, en dépit de l'indépendance des pays concernés. Le Code civil français de 1804 qui s'applique presque intégralement dans les pays francophones d'Afrique au Sud du Sahara, a été profondément réformé en 2016. S'est ainsi créé, un fossé considérable entre le droit contractuel africain resté fidèle au Code civil français de 1804 et un droit des obligations français en modernisation et en adéquation avec les pratiques contractuelles de la société française. À la différence du nouveau droit français des contrats, les systèmes juridiques des pays francophones d'Afrique au Sud du Sahara, ne reconnaissent pas le pouvoir au juge d'adapter le contrat surpris par le fait imprévisible. Or, en Afrique traditionnelle tout comme moderne, il ne fait aucun doute que la relation contractuelle est plus solidaire et moins individualiste. Au Québec, la réforme du Code civil en 1994 a marqué une avancée de la justice contractuelle sur la stabilité contractuelle. Cependant, tout comme le C.c.B.C dont la rédaction a été influencée par le Code civil français de 1804, le Cc.Q ne prend pas en considération la théorie de l'imprévision. Cette étude vise à démontrer d'une part que le refus de l'imprévision dans le droit civil africain résulte du mimétisme du Code civil français de 1804. Elle vise à démontrer d'autre part que la prise en considération de l'imprévision dans les sociétés africaines, par le biais de la théorie relationnelle du contrat, est en harmonie avec les pratiques contractuelles des sociétés africaines.

L'industrie maritime a connu de profondes mutations qui ont non seulement influé sur les rapports commerciaux liés au transport maritime, mais aussi sur les relations de travail qui se créent à l'occasion de l'emploi des gens de mer à bord des navires. Une manifestation concrète de ces mutations a été le recours par les armateurs à des structures spécialisées dans la fourniture d'équipage. Dénommés agences de *manning* ou fournisseurs de main-d'œuvre, ces structures facilitent les procédures de recrutement pour les armateurs et constituent par la même occasion de véritables pourvoyeurs d'emploi pour les gens de mer. Toutefois, certains comportements des agences de *manning* peuvent mettre en péril la protection des gens de mer et de leurs droits. De ce fait, l'activité de fourniture de main-d'œuvre maritime a nécessité un encadrement. Bien qu'un ensemble de règles internationales et nationales participe à cet encadrement, des questions demeurent. Celles-ci sont relatives non seulement aux situations conflictuelles de lois et de juridictions que pose l'activité en raison de son caractère international, mais aussi aux difficultés relatives à la détermination de l'employeur véritable du travailleur dans le cadre de la relation de travail tripartite qui naît. La libre immatriculation des navires et le phénomène de complaisance ont conduit à une remise en cause du rôle premier que devraient jouer les États du pavillon dans la protection des gens de mer qui travaillent à bord des navires qu'ils immatriculent. Les États fournisseurs de main-d'œuvre, eux, semblent rechigner à l'idée de la mise en place d'une réglementation rigoureuse et rigoureusement appliquée à l'égard des agences qu'ils accueillent, en raison des considérations économiques (qui semblent prévaloir). Dans de telles circonstances, les États du port sont devenus de véritables remparts en matière de protection des gens de mer. Cette recherche propose une réflexion sur des mécanismes, y compris des mécanismes de responsabilisation des agences de *manning*, afin de faire émerger un ensemble de procédés devant permettre de garantir un travail décent des gens de mer recrutés par l'intermédiaire de ces agences. The maritime industry has undergone far-reaching changes that have affected not only commercial relationships associated with shipping, but also labor relations that arise when seafarers are employed on board ships. One concrete manifestation of these changes has been the use by shipowners of entities specializing in the supply of crew members. Known as manning agencies or manpower suppliers, these entities facilitate recruitment procedures for shipowners, and at the same time act as job providers for seafarers. However, some of the behaviour of manning agencies can jeopardize the protection of seafarers and their rights. As a result, activities of manning agencies have called for a legal framework. Despite the existence of international and national rules that form an impressive framework, some questions remain. These relate not only to the conflict of laws and jurisdictions posed by the international nature of the activity of manning agencies, but also to the difficulties involved in determining the true employer of the worker within the framework of the tripartite employment relationship that arises. The free registration of ships and the phenomenon of flags of convenience have called into question to the primary role that flag states play in protecting seafarers working on board the ships they register. Labour-supplying states, for their part, seem reluctant to introduce thorough regulations and apply them thoroughly to the agencies they host, given the economic considerations. As a consequence, port states have assumed bulwark functions when it comes to protecting seafarers. This research proposes an examination of mechanisms, including accountability mechanisms of manning agencies, with the aim to put forward a set of processes that guarantee decent work for seafarers recruited through these agencies.

Türk mortgage sistemi veya mortgage menkul kıymetleştirmesi ve İpoteğe Dayalı Menkul Kıymetler-İDMK ihracı, sistemsel bütün olarak ilk kez uygulamada "Mortgage Kanunu" olarak da anılan 5582 sayılı "Konut Finansmanı Sistemine İlişkin Çeşitli Kanunlarda Değişiklik Yapılması Hakkındaki Kanun" (Konut Finansmanı Kanunu) ile 2007 yılında düzenlenmiştir. Meri'i düzenlemeler bakımından İDMK ihracı 6362 sayılı Sermaye Piyasası Kanunu (SerPK) madde 58 ve III-58.1 sayılı Varlığa ve İpoteğe Dayalı Menkul Kıymetler Tebliği (VİDMK Tebliği) ile düzenlenmiştir. Çalışmamızın amacı ve kapsamı, bünyesinde tek bir çalışmada ele alınması olanaksız sayıda hukuki düzenleme, kavram, kurum ve ilişki barındıran mortgage sistemini sermaye piyasası bakış açısıyla mevzuat tekrarlarından arındırılmış özlü tespit ve değerlendirmeleri esas alacak şekilde ele almaktır. Çalışmamızda mortgage sistemi kavramsal olarak gerçek anlamı ile ortaya konulacak ve ayrıca sistemin varlık nedeni ve özünü oluşturan sermaye piyasası unsuru olarak İDMK'ya ilişkin tespit, değerlendirme ve öneriler yer almaktadır. Mortgage ifadesi dar anlamda, Anglo-Sakson hukukunda kullanılan mortgage rehni ve mortgage teminatlı finansman alacaklarını ifade etmektedir. Mortgage terimi, sermaye ve finans piyasaları bakımından ise mortgage teminatlı alacakların İpoteğe Dayalı Menkul Kıymetler (İDMK/mortgage-backed securities-MBS) ihraç edilerek menkul kıymetleştirildiği (securitization) sistemi anlatmaktadır. Mortgage sistemi veya menkul kıymetleştirmesi ve İDMK ihracı ilk olarak Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD) hukukunda uygulanmıştır. Mortgage sisteminin varlık nedeni, sermaye piyasalarından İDMK ihracı yoluyla en az maliyetle ve güvenilir bir şekilde finansman sağlanmasıdır. İDMK ihracı, mortgage (ipotek) teminatlı finansman alacaklarının, mortgage sistemi içerisinde gerçek satışa (true sale) dayalı olarak bilânço dışına çıkarılması ve menkul kıymetleştirilmesi ile gerçekleştirilmektedir. Bu nedenle İDMK, gerçek satışa dayalı bilânço dışı olarak gerçekleştirilen gerçek (geleneksel) menkul kıymetleştirme ürünü bir menkul kıymet niteliğindedir. Toplam beş bölümden oluşan Tez çalışmamızın ilk bölümünde, mortgage sistemi kavramı teknik anlamıyla değerlendirilecek, sistemin tarihi gelişim süreci ve ilişkili düzenlemeler ve niteliği olarak menkul kıymetleştirme ele alınacaktır. Çalışmamızın ikinci bölümünde, mortgage sisteminin işleyişi, sistemde kullanılan varlıklar ve safhaları, sistemin özgün terminolojisi berberinde değerlendirilecektir. Çalışmamızın üçüncü bölümünde ise mortgage sisteminde yer alan kuruluşlar gene sistemin kendine özgü kavram ve gereklilikleri dahilinde değerlendirilecektir. Çalışmamızın dördüncü bölümünde sistemin hedefi ve varlık sebebi olan İDMK tanımı türleri ve benzeri menkul kıymetler beraberinde ele alınacaktır. Çalışmamızın beşinci ve son bölümünde ise İDMK ihracı ile sağlanan sebepler ve ihracını güçleştiren sebeplere dair tespit ve önerilerimiz topluca yer alacaktır. Tezimizin sonuç kısmında ise gerçek anlamıyla uygulanması halinde ülkemizin hızlı ve sürdürülebilir bir biçimde kalkınmasını sağlayabilecek niteliği haiz bir sistem olan mortgage sistemi ve onun ürünü menkul kıymet olan İDMK'nın ihracı bakımından tespit ve çıkarımlarımız yer alacaktır. Tezimiz genel olarak Türkiye'nin finansal kurumlara, İDMK'yı, iç pazardaki ekonomik kalkınmayı hızlandırmak için sermaye piyasalarından fon sağlamak için kullanma önerisi de getirmektedir. Bu tez ile Türkiye'de finans kurumlarının MBS ihraçları için alternatif bir finansman kaynağı olarak dikkat çekilmesi de amaçlanmaktadır. Burada kamusal bir gelişme olarak ifade edilecek olursak, "Yeni Ekonomi Program", finansal derinliğin ve istikrarın sağlanması için Türkiye'deki menkul kıymetleştirmelerin (İDMK ihraçları dahildir) desteklenmesi tedbirini de içermektedir. The Turkish mortgage system, mortgage securitization, and the issuance of Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS), collectively referred to as the "Mortgage Law," were initially regulated in 2007 by Law No. 5582, also known as the "Law on Various Amendments Regarding the Housing Finance System" (Housing Finance Law), commonly referred to as the "Mortgage Law" in practical application. In terms of secondary regulations, the issuance of MBS is governed by Article 58 of the Capital Markets Law No. 6362 (CML) and the Communiqué on Asset-Backed Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities (ABS-MBS Communiqué). The aim and scope of this study involve a comprehensive examination of the mortgage system, which encompasses numerous legal regulations, concepts, institutions, and relationships. The focus is on providing concise assessments and evaluations, free from legal redundancies, based on the perspective of capital markets. The study conceptually presents the mortgage system in its true sense, addressing the essence and purpose of the system, particularly focusing on Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) as a capital market element, along with relevant findings, evaluations, and recommendations. In a narrow sense, the term "mortgage" refers to the mortgage lien and financing receivables secured by mortgages in Anglo-Saxon law. In the context of capital and financial markets, the mortgage system refers to the securitization of mortgage-backed receivables by issuing Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS). The mortgage system, its securitization, and MBS issuance were initially implemented in the United States (US) legal framework. The raison d'être of the mortgage system lies in obtaining financing from capital markets through the issuance of MBS at minimal cost and in a reliable manner. MBS issuance involves transferring mortgage-backed financing receivables out of the balance sheet through a true sale mechanism within the mortgage system, facilitating their securitization. Therefore, MBS represents a security of a true sale-based, off-balance-sheet, and traditional nature. The thesis comprises five sections. The first section evaluates the concept of the mortgage system in technical terms, discussing its historical development, related regulations, and its nature as securitization. The second section delves into the operation of the mortgage system, the assets used, stages involved, and the system's unique terminology. The third section examines the institutions within the mortgage system, considering their specific concepts and requirements. The fourth section covers the objective of the system and the definition of MBS, its types, and similar securities. The fifth and final section consolidates our findings and recommendations regarding the reasons for MBS issuance and the challenges hindering it. In the conclusion, we highlight the potential of the mortgage system and its product, MBS, as a system capable of fostering rapid and sustainable development in Turkey when implemented in its true sense. The thesis suggests that financial institutions in Turkey consider MBS issuances as an alternative source of funding, aiming to accelerate economic development in the domestic market. Additionally, the study aligns with the "New Economic Program," which includes measures to support securitizations in Turkey, including MBS issuances, to ensure financial depth and stability.
