International and European Labour Law
Ales E.,As time goes by... it was in summer 2014 when the publisher discussed with us the idea of an international commentary on European labour law. This follows a tradition in continental systems, especially in Germany, where commentators all over the country analyse statutes, even those of minor importance. Therefore, the German publishing house Nomos took the initiative to commence this project, given that there are still rela- tively few commentaries on these important norms at international level. We discussed the concept and we were quickly convinced that a commentary from a European perspective could provide additional value for any legal practitioner, as well as for legal scholars. The commentary should provide information in order to grant a spe- cific European view, taking into account current legal debates with an EU law context. After a short period of discussion, we concluded that this book should not only provide observations on the EU legal framework. Instead, we wanted to include also internation- al and regional labour law: specifically, the International Labour Organisation and the Council of Europe. This reflects our conviction that it is not sufficient to consider only EU legal instruments, notwithstanding their important status in many of our jurisdic- tions. By adopting a wider perspective, we can find both old and new tools that enrich our interpretation of domestic labour law. Moreover, looking beyond the EU provides us with external benchmarks against which to evaluate the sufficiency of current EU labour law.

YSEC Yearbook of Socio-Economic Constitutions
Hindelang S.,This volume addresses contemporary challenges, enabled by modern technology, that concern upholding freedom of speech where it conflicts with social rights, such as respect for private and family life, and with economic rights, such as the freedom to conduct business or the right to free movement. In today's networked world, technological shifts happen faster than most people even realize. Some of these shifts have made us all potentially powerful: media powerful. We used to sit in silence in front of newspapers and TV screens, and the world was explained to us by just a few sources. Today, thanks to the Internet, social media, and Web 2.0, we can not only share our own thoughts with everyone in a more self-determined way, but we can also take part in public debate and even co-shape it ourselves. Of course, the Internet is not a counter-design to the communication (power) structures of the past. Gains in communicative self-determination are threatened due to algorithmisation, platformisation, and value extraction from self-created private markets.

Environmental Process and Production Methods (PPMs) in WTO law
Sifonios D.,This book examines the conditions under which PPM measures may be adopted under WTO law de lege lata and de lege ferenda. It analyses in detail the complex case law in this field and its evolution in the last 25 years, as well as the many doctrinal debates around PPM measures and their relevance in the light of the evolution of case law, both under the GATT and the TBT Agreement. Further, it also suggests an original approach to the interpretation of the relevant provisions of the GATT and the TBT Agreement in the context of PPM measures. The PPM issue has been one of the most debated topics in the trade and environment debate. Even though the US-Shrimp case showed that PPM measures are not prohibited per se under the GATT, many questions remain unanswered when it comes to the pre- cise conditions under which environmental PPM measures are justifiable under WTO law, for example in the field of trade measures relating to climate change mitigation efforts, natural resources management policies and biodiversity conservation measures.

Technical Barriers to Trade in "New Generation" RTAs and in the WTO Agreements
Romanchyshyna I.,This book examines the interplay between cooperation on technical barriers to trade (TBT) in free trade agreements and the multilateral framework of the World Trade Organization. In recent years, TBT, especially differences in standards, have attracted increased interest and have been addressed as part of the WTO+ negotiated agenda in trade agreements. Because of a number of political and legal constraints, the process of further cooperation at the WTO have been stalled, which made free trade agreements a central pillar in setting the agenda of international trade governance. This leads us to rethinking the interrelation between the WTO and free trade agreements and to questioning the role of both fora in the future of trade. The book examines some TBT provisions in free trade agreements and highlights their positive and problematic aspects when it comes to the WTO-consistency and the ideas of open and inclusive trade. It also suggests that a more optimal way forward would be to increase parallel work on TBT cooperation at the WTO, a more inclusive forum that could address issues of global significance, such as environmental protection and regulation of digital goods. The book explores the potential for trade agreements to advance the WTO agenda, but notes that the organization would need to adapt its institutional structure and governance in order to do so.

International investment law
Subedi S.P.,The third edition of this acclaimed scholarly book offers an up-to-date, critical overview of the law of foreign investment, incorporating a thorough and succinct analysis of the principles and standards of treatment available to foreign investors in international law. It is authoritative and multilayered, offering an analysis of the key issues and an insightful assessment of recent trends in the case law, from both developed and developing country perspectives. A major feature of the book is that it deals with the tension between the law of foreign investment and other competing principles of international law. In doing so, it proposes ways of achieving a balance berween these principles and the need to protect the legitimate rights and expectations of foreign investors on the one hand, and the need not to restrict unduly the right of host governments to implement their public policy, including the protection of the environment and human rights, and the promotion of social and economic justice within the host country, on the other.

European Union Law
Barnard C.,Dispute Settlement Mechanisms (PTA-DSMs), which have been used to adjudicate general exception clauses within the context of the individual PTA Members' obligation to liberalize trade in goods. Although the results remain limited to the single issue of PTA-DSM adjudication for liberalization of trade in goods, they are indicative of key misconceptions regarding the fragmentation of ITL. As the findings confirm, the PTA-DSMs assessed have ultimately come to equivalent decisions, taking into consideration their overall use, the nature of the legal commitments embedded in the respective PTAs, and the economic wellbeing of the respective PTA partners. The book reveals the influence of specific PTA-DSMs on other PTA-DSMs and thereby paves the way for legal unification, rather than fragmentation.

Freizugigkeit im Mehrebenensystem
Diebold F.N.,Freizügigkeit bedeutet «freier Personenverkehr>> und bezieht sich auf die Freiheit von Personen und Unternehmen, von ihrem Herkunftsort aus am Wirtschaftsleben in einem anderen Hoheitsgebiet teilzuneh- men. Darf etwa ein im Kanton Luzern selbstständig tätiger Rettungs- sanitäter auch Aufträge im Kanton Solothurn oder gar in Deutschland annehmen und ausführen (Freizügigkeitsrecht)? Und wie unterschei- den sich die Marktzugangsrechte innerhalb der Schweiz und im Ver- hältnis zur EU gegenüber dem EU-Recht (Mehrebenensystem)? Die Habilitationsschrift untersucht, wie die grundlegenden Prinzipien der Nichtdiskriminierung, der Nichtbeschränkung, der Anerkennung und der Herkunft die Freizügigkeit gewährleisten. Anhand von an- schaulichen Beispielen aus der Verwaltungspraxis und der Rechtspre- chung wird aufgezeigt, wie konkrete freizügigkeitsrechtliche Frage- stellungen anhand dieser Prinzipien zu beurteilen sind. Das Buch ist gleichermassen an die Praxis, Lehre und Wissenschaft gerichtet und bildet eine umfassende Quelle für Behörden, Verwaltungsgerichte, Rechtspraktiker und Akademiker, die sich mit der Anwendung des Binnenmarktrechts, der Wirtschaftsfreiheit, des Personenfreizügig- keitsabkommens und des europarechtlichen Freizügigkeitsrechts be- schäftigen.

Fragmentation of International Trade Law Reassessed
Wasilczyk P.,This book provides innovative and empirically based insights into the ongoing debate on the fragmentation of international trade law. It offers the reader a much-needed doctrinal overview of the different approaches to the issue of fragmentation and reveals their inherent methodological advantages and limitations. On this basis, the book then approaches the issue of fragmentation from an empirical standpoint by applying a novel dataset on Preferential Trade Agreements' Dispute Settlement Mechanisms (PTA-DSMs), which have been used to adjudicate general exception clauses within the context of the individual PTA Members' obligation to liberalize trade in goods. Although the results remain limited to the single issue of PTA-DSM adjudication for liberalization of trade in goods, they are indicative of key misconceptions regarding the fragmentation of ITL. As the findings confirm, the PTA-DSMs assessed have ultimately come to equivalent decisions, taking into consideration their overall use, the nature of the legal commitments embedded in the respective PTAs, and the economic wellbeing of the respective PTA partners. The book reveals the influence of specific PTA-DSMs on other PTA-DSMs and thereby paves the way for legal unification, rather than fragmentation.

Environmental Policy, Non-Product Related Process and Production Methods and the Law of the World Trade Organization
Maggio A. R.,This book examines the issue of foreign investor misconduct in modern international investment law, focusing on the approach that international investment law as it currently operates has developed towards foreign investor misconduct. The term 'misconduct' is not a legal notion, but is used to describe a certain phenomenon, namely, a group/class of actions. This term is convenient since it makes it possible to introduce and describe the phenomenon as such, without a division into concrete types of conduct, like 'abuse of process, 'violation of national law', 'corruption, "investment contrary to international norms and standards, etc. The term 'misconduct' is intended to embrace various kinds of conduct on the part of foreign investors that the system of international investment law does not accept - such as that which it regards as illegal, against public policy, or otherwise inappropriate and triggers legal consequences. Rarely, however, does international investment law clearly articulate what it considers unacceptable investor conduct, and certainly not in any systematic fashion. As such, this book addresses the following questions: What types of investors' conduct are legally unacceptable? What mechanisms are available to deal with unacceptable investors conduct, and what are the legal consequences?

European International law Traditions
Hilpold P.,International Law is usually considered, at least initially, to be a unitary legal order that is not subject to different national approaches. Ex definitione it should be an order that transcends the national, and one that merges national perspectives into a higher understanding of law. It gains broad recognition precisely because it gives expression to a common consensus transcending national positions. The reality, however, is quite different. Individual countries' approaches to International Law, and the meanings attached to different concepts, often diverge considerably. The result is a lack of comprehension that can ultimately lead to outright conflicts. In this book, several renowned international lawyers engage in an enquiry directed at sorting out how different European nations have contributed to the development of International Law, and how various national approaches to International Law differ. In doing so, their goal is to promote a better understanding of theory and practice in International Law.

Foreign Investor Misconduct in International Investment law
Kozyakova A.,This book examines the issue of foreign investor misconduct in modern international investment law, focusing on the approach that international investment law as it currently operates has developed towards foreign investor misconduct.

Innovation and the Transformation of Consumer law
Wei Dan.,This book covers technologies that pose new challenges for consumer policy, creative developments that can help protect consumers' economic interests, innovative approaches to addressing perennial consumer concerns, and the challenges entailed by emerging ways of creating and delivering consumer products and services. In addition, it reflects on past successes and failures of consumer law and policy, explores opportunities for moving consumer law in a different direction, and discusses potential threats to consumer welfare, especially in connection with the changing political landscape in many parts of the world. Several chapters examine consumer law in individual countries, while others have an international focus.

Air Transport and Pandemic law
Abeyratne R.,This book discusses the use of the compromissory clause in international investment agreements (IIAs) for interstate dispute resolution. It puts forward the possibility of using state-to-state arbitration based on the compromissory clause in IlAs as an alternative means of resolving investment disputes in light of the global debate on the shortcomings of investor-state arbitration. The book's main conclusion is that state-to-state arbitration may be used as an alternative to currently popular investor-state arbitration by resolving procedural hurdles which impede its acceptance. It becomes more important with the removal of investor-state arbitration as an option in certain recent IIAs, which then elevates state-to-state arbitration as the sole option for binding third party dispute resolution in the treaty. Even then, it is unlikely to replace investor-state arbitration completely due to its inherent shortcomings, such as the risk of re-politicising disputes and a lack of direct control over the process for the affected investors. Nevertheless, the availability of an alternative forum will benefit all parties involved, as they will no longer be wholly dependent on investor-state arbitration, which can be affected by events such as denunciation from the ICSID Convention or the refusal of a host state to enforce an arbitration award.

Vienna Convention on the law of Treaties
Do'rr O.,The Commentary on the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties provides an in-depth article-by-article analysis of all provisions of the Vienna Convention. The texts are uniformly structured: (1) Purpose and Function of the Article, (II) Historical Background and Negotiating History, and (III) Elements of the Article. The Vienna Convention on Treaties between States and IOs and between IOs is taken into account where appropriate. In sum, the present Commentary contains a com- prehensive legal analysis of all aspects of the international law of treaties. Where the law of treaties reaches into other fields of inter- national law, e.g. the law of state responsibility, the relevant interfaces are discussed and contextualized. With its focus on international practice, the Commentary is addressed to academia, as well as to practitioners of international law.

Extreme economies
Davies R.,In search of a fresh perspective on the modern economy, Extreme Economies takes the reader off the beaten path, introducing people living at the world's margins. From disaster zones and displaced societies to failed states and hidden rainforest communities, the lives of people who inhabit these little-known places tend to be ignored by economists and policy makers. Richard Davies argues that this is a mistake, and explains why the world's overlooked extremes offer a glimpse of the forces that underlie human resilience, help markets to function and cause them to fail, and will come to shape our collective future. Whether trekking with Punjabi migrants through the lawless Panamanian jungle or revealing the clever trick Syrians use to underpin trade in the world's most entrepreneurial refugee camp, Richard Davies encounters economic pioneers whose personal narratives reflect global trends, shedding light on today's biggest economic questions and providing vital lessons for our turbulent times.
