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?

Yearbook of International Humanitarian law
Editors,This volume of the Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law takes a close look at the role of so-called "expert manuals" in the interpretation and development of the international law of armed conflict and connected branches of international law relating to military operations. While these manuals can and do play an undoubtedly useful role, their proliferation raises a number of questions. What degree of authority do they have and how much weight should be given to the views expressed in them? What is the methodology they employ and how effective is it in ensuring an as objective and impartial interpretation of the law as possible? What is their place in the doctrine of sources? While there is already a considerable body of literature addressing these and other relevant questions, this volume aims to contribute further to this discussion with contributions by three experts involved in one or more of these manuals in one capacity or another.

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

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.

How to be well read : a guide to 500
Council The,He brilliantly captures the flavour of each work and assesses its relative merits and demerits. He shows how each novel fits into a broader context. And he offers endless snippets of intriguing information: did you know, for example, that the Nazis banned Bambi or that William Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying on an upturned wheelbarrow; that Voltaire completed Candide in three days, or that Anna Sewell was paid £20 for Black Beauty?

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.

Legal Developments During 30 Years of Lithuanian Independence
Svedas G.,This volume provides an overview of selected major areas of legal and institutional development in Lithuania since the Restoration of Independence in 1990. The respective chapters discuss changes in fields varying from the constitutional framework to criminal law and procedure. The content highlights four major aspects of the fundamental changes that have affected the entire legal system: the Post-Soviet country's complex historical heritage; socio-political and other conditions in the process of adopting new (rule of law) standards; international legal influences on the national legal order over the past 30 years; and finally, the search for entirely new national legal models. Over a period of 30 years since gaining its independence from the Soviet Union, Lithuania has undergone unique social changes. The state restarted its independent journey burdened by the complicated heritage of the Soviet legal system. Some major reforms have taken place swiftly, while others have required years of thorough analysis of societal needs and the search for optimal examples in other states. The legal system is now substantially different, with some elements being entirely new, and others adapted to present needs.
