Denationalisation – withdrawing citizenship from a person – is a practice with a long historic pedigree that continues to affect the lives of many people today. Are there conditions under which denationalisation is morally justified? If so, what are they? And can legal and political norms that authorise states to engage in citizenship withdrawal be justified? This article provides answers to these questions.

The idea that New Zealand should abandon its national currency in favour of the US or Australian dollar, or create a new shared currency with Australia, has gained momentum in recent years. Denationalisation of the currency would crown almost two decades of radical neo-liberal restructuring by placing many of those achievements beyond the reach of future governments. Despite this, there is considerable reticence from the economic and political architects of the 'New Zealand Experiment' (Kelsey,1997) who believe that other monetary regimes are inferior to their own. Paradoxically, there has been more support from the political leadership of the current Third Way government, led by the New Zealand Labour Party, which is attracted by the prospect of deeper integration into the global economy through monetary union with Australia. While the Prime Minister talks in terms of monetary union, almost all commentators concede that the effect for a small, open economy like New Zealand's would be no different from the more coercive option of dollarisation. The first section of the paper traces the emergence of all three strategies over the past two decades. During the initial phase, monetary policy was refocused exclusively on price stability and national monetary authorities were insulated from government control. The second phase, which has gained momentum in the 1990s aims to remove monetary authority beyond the political reach of the nation state, permanently. The paper argues that these theories perpetuate the grand delusion of neo-liberalism - that global capitalism can thrive in a social, cultural and political void and permanently quarantine itself from the contradictions it creates. Money is not simply a commodity. Nor are national currencies merely the symbols of a (presumed) national identity. In an economic system of commodity capitalism, money is the medium for exercising power. It serves as the means of payment, store of value and unit of account, and as a commodity in its own right. Monetary policy is the vehicle through which national governments control the creation of money and influence its value so as to distribute resources between competing interests, whether capital and labour, diverse regions or different countries. This makes currencies, exchange rate mechanisms and monetary policies intrinsically political. Their forms have been highly contested throughout the twentieth century and renegotiated in response to periodic economic, social and political crises. Dollarisation and monetary union aim to bring this history to an end and permanently privilege the owners of capital. The attempt to remove the power of government over economic policy heightens the risks of social disintegration and political implosion in an often highly fractured society. As the theory is increasingly transformed into practice, these tensions are emerging more clearly. The final section of the paper draws on Argentina's experience under a currency board and European Monetary Union to assess the implications for New Zealand.

Denationalisation of bus routes following the 1980 Transport Act is being hampered by Political opposition. Derrick Alsop runs a private bus service in Nottingham, he details some of the practical difficulties put in his way and shows the inadequacies of the Act.

Over the past three decades the effects of globalisation and denationalisation have created a division between 'winners' and 'losers' in Western Europe. This study examines the transformation of party political systems in six countries (Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the UK) using opinion surveys

Die Einführung echter Informationspflichten durch die Umsetzung der UGP-Richtlinie etabliert im UWG verbraucherschützendes Marktverhaltensrecht auf Grundlage des Informationsmodells. Neben dem traditionellen lauterkeitsrechtlichen Wahrheitsgebot wird damit als dogmatischer Paradigmenwechsel ein europäisch vereinheitlichtes Transparenzgebot geschaffen. Dieses sieht für Unternehmen eine Pflicht zur vollständigen Information der Verbraucher gemäß bestimmter Informationsvorgaben vor. Der beabsichtigten verbraucherschützenden Wirkung stehen dabei eine erhöhte Informationslast für Unternehmen sowie die Gefahr einer Überinformation der Verbraucher gegenüber. Neben der Europäisierung erfolgt jedoch zugleich eine Denationalisierung des Informationsmodells. In Bezug auf rein nationale Informationspflichten sowie in Bezug auf Informationspflichten, die eine überschießende Umsetzung europäischer Vorgaben darstellen, wird im Anwendungsbereich der UGP-Richtlinie eine lauterkeitsrechtliche Sanktionierung ausgeschlossen. / »Denationalisation and Europeanisation in the information model of unfair competition law« -- In response to the European Directive concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial prac-tices broad duties of information have been established in German unfair competition law. The duty of enterprises to provide transparent information to customers according to certain criteria goes beyond the traditional duty to merely avoid a deception of customers. This Europeanisation of the information model is accompanied by a denationalisation. Within the scope of the Directive Member States have to abstain from applying their unfair competition laws with regard to infor-mation duties which are not rooted in European law

A remarkable transformation in public policy towards the role of the State in economic life has gone much further than was anticipated by informed observers. The forms of privatisation considered here are: denationalisation, whereby public enterprises are sold to the private sector; and liberalisation, whereby statutory restrictions on market entry are relaxed or removed so that hitherto protected public enterprises face greater competitive pressures.

The article comments on the new buget which was presented to the Constituent Assembly on the 15th of June 1988 and which calls for a widespread denationalisation of public concerns and a significant change in the taxation system. Various aspects are dealt with in detail and opposition speakers are quoted extensively. The budget is said to have been prepared with the policies of the International Monetary Fund in mind.
