This festschrift was produced to honor Dr. Carl Baudenbacher, president of the Court of Justice of the European Free Trade Association and professor at the University of St. Gallen. As a writer, a university teacher, and a judge, Dr. Baudenbacher has helped to shape modern economic law and has exerted influence on its development in Europe and beyond. The four sections of this book - justice/jurisprudence, economic law, business law, and globalization and regionalization - echo Baudenbacher's main fields of interest. The work includes more than 60 articles - written in English, German, and French - by friends and colleagues from all the European Courts and national high courts, academia, competition authorities, the practicing bar, and politics.

Focusing on flood risk management, this work explores the La Salada basin's vulnerability following devastating floods from the 1998-99 Niño event. It highlights the varied impacts of these floods, influenced by both natural and human factors, leading to significant economic losses and infrastructure damage. The study aims to establish a comprehensive methodology for assessing and comparing the vulnerability of different landscape units, serving as a crucial resource for effective landscape management and risk mitigation strategies.
