Regulating converged services in a future internet of people and thingsOliver Damian
This paper suggests that the Convergence Review conducted by the Australian Department of Broadband, Communications, and Digital Economy could benefit from an overarching prism of analysis made up of a regulatory normative framework combined with a narrative vision of converged services in a future internet of people and things.
The Meandering Roads to a Single European Financial Market (2005) Oliver DamianOliver Damian
With all the hot news on a Greece Grexit of the Euro. It's time to look back at what I thought about the Euro and the dream of a single EU financial market back in 2005.
I concluded this research paper for the International Banking & Finance Law subject in my Juris Doctor at UTS with:
"There is not one road leading to the vision of the Treaty of Rome. There are many, and the roads are not straight, they meander. This is because whilst the basis of financial market integration is economic, in fact the benefits of regulation and market integration could even be quantified, the roads to get there are political. As such social forces, culture, and history come into play. And politics has always been a series of compromise, and negotiated settlements, rarely consensus."
This now seems prophetic (if I could say so myself) in seeing the forces acting on the Grexit. It is good anti-fragile strategy to look back in the past at our attempts at foresight (giving our analysis before things happen). An antidote to hindsight bias (analysis after the fact).
