Introduction to the Eurasian Economic Union

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), which includes Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia, is a new but substantial regional organization. Significant achievements include a common external customs tariff, a customs union and a common labour market: a well-developed institutional environment has emerged to support and advance these processes, ranging from the Eurasian Economic Commission and the EAEU Court to the Eurasian Development Bank and the Eurasian Fund for Stabilization and Development. This major integration achievement also has several drawbacks and ‘stumbling stones’—some due to Russia’s dominant position, some due to the authoritarian nature of political regimes, and some due to dependence on oil and gas exports.

A Practical guide to Constitution building: The Design of the Judicial Branch

"A Practical Guide to Constitution Building: The Design of the Judicial Branch" is a chapter within a larger publication by International IDEA (Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance) and is also available through the UN Peacemaker website. It provides an in-depth analysis of key considerations and options for designing the judicial branch during a constitution-building process. Core Topics The guide explores several critical aspects of designing the judiciary, emphasizing that no single branch operates in isolation and a balance of power is necessary: Powers of the Judiciary: Discusses core functions, including the critical role of constitutional review and the variations between systems (e.g., the decentralized "American model" versus the centralized "European model"). Special Circumstances: Examines the role of courts in specific, high-stakes situations, such as within the electoral process or during states of emergency. Judicial Independence and Accountability: Analyzes how to balance independence with accountability, considering mechanisms for the selection, removal, and term limits of judges. Legal Pluralism: Addresses the incorporation of more than one legal tradition or system within the constitutional framework.

A Practical guide to Constitution building: An Introduction

A Practical Guide to Constitution Building: An Introduction is Chapter 1 of the publication A Practical Guide to Constitution Building by International IDEA, which serves as a foundational resource for understanding the complexities of contemporary constitution building processes. The full guide, including this introductory chapter, is available in PDF and e-book formats online. Overview of the Guide The entire publication provides a comprehensive foundation for understanding constitutions and constitution-building, moving beyond mere drafting to encompass the long-term process of establishing institutions, giving legal effect to the constitution, and implementation. It uses an analytical framework across its chapters to provide insights into the forces that shape constitutional development in various contexts, including those affected by conflict.

A Practical guide to Constitution building: Decentralized Forms of Government

This publication aims to respond to the knowledge gaps faced by politicians, policymakers and practitioners involved in contemporary constitution building. Its principal aim is to provide a firstclass tool drawing on lessons from recent practice and trends in constitution building. It is divided into chapters which can be read as individual segments, while the use of a consistent analytical framework across each chapter provides a deeper understanding of the range of issues and forces at play in processes of constitutional development. The Practical Guide to Constitution Building reflects how fundamental constitution building is to the creation of sustainable democracy. Constitution building is a long-term and historical process and is not confined to the period when a constitution is actually written. While focusing on constitutions as key documents in themselves, this publication stresses understanding constitutional systems as a whole, including the relevant principles (chapter 2) and the need to build a culture of human rights (chapter 3), as well as the provisions for institutional design (chapters 4 to 6) and decentralized forms of government (chapter 7). It does not offer a blueprint or model for constitutions, but draws lessons from recent practice and knowledge. Among those lessons is that constitutions may well say one thing on paper but work differently in practice.

A Practical guide to Constitution building: Building a Culture of Human Rights

International IDEA's "A Practical Guide to Constitution Building", specifically the chapter on "Building a Culture of Human Rights," outlines how to embed human rights into the core of a state's legal and political structure. It emphasizes that a human rights culture requires official decisions to maximize these rights, often through inclusive processes, addressing past violations, and balancing international standards with local contexts. Key Aspects of Building a Human Rights Culture: Definition & Goal: A culture where society and officials value human rights, and where official decisions aim to maximize them. Process & Design: The method of drafting (e.g., participatory, inclusive) and the type of constitution (e.g., supreme law, bill of rights) heavily influence the resulting human rights culture.

A Practical guide to Constitution building: Principles and Cross-cutting Themes

International IDEA’s Practical Guide to Constitution Building provides a framework for designing sustainable, context-sensitive constitutions, focusing on principles (values, preamble, directive principles) and cross-cutting themes like democracy, rule of law, diversity, and gender. It serves as a tool for practitioners to navigate complex, long-term, and often post-conflict political compromises. Key Aspects of Constitutional Principles and Themes Role of Principles: These embody foundational values, create political agreement, and guide the interpretation of the constitution, often influencing court decisions even if not strictly binding. Types of Principles: The Guide distinguishes between directive principles (often non-binding goals) and derived principles (unwritten or implied). Cross-cutting Themes: Essential themes include democratic governance (e.g., regular elections), rule of law, management of diversity, and the integration of international law. Gender and Equality: The Guide addresses how to integrate principles regarding gender, religion, and diversity to ensure inclusive governance.

The social and Ecological Market Economy - a model for asian development

This collection of articles by GTZ practitioners, provide examples of how elements of the social and ecological market economy are reflected in the portfolio of German development cooperation in the region and also reflect on what needs to be done to develop this further. These articles are complemented by the perspective of German researchers and policy advisors, who reflect on the current reform debate in Germany, and the perspective of Asian partner country representatives, who outline their own understanding of why the German model may be of relevance to sustainable development in their countries – using the model not as a blueprint, but as a starting point for dialogue. An introductory section sets the framework by outlining the different elements of the social and ecological market economy and by reflecting on GTZ's corporate philosophy in relation to the model.

Transforming fragile states - Examples of Practical Experience

The problems of fragile statehood and poor government performance rank high on the international agenda for action. In many affected countries the population receives not even the most basic of social services and human rights are violated in many ways. The government is generally unable to perform its core duties. The capacities required are not in place or there is no genuine political will to undertake the necessary reforms. The consequences of poor governance hit poor and disadvantaged sections of the population disproportionately hard. The United Nations sees these states as the single most serious risk to peace and security at global and regional level. The OECD states and international organisations have undertaken to step up their commitment in fragile states. Now the international community faces the major challenge of helping to shape transition processes by means of suitable development strategies and instruments.

Corporate Law in Germany

Corporate law in Germany (Gesellschaftsrecht) governs the formation, operation, and dissolution of legal entities, primarily codified in key legislation such as the German Civil Code (BGB), the Commercial Code (HGB), the Limited Liability Companies Act (GmbHG), and the Stock Corporation Act (AktG). The main types of corporate entities are partnerships (Personengesellschaften) and corporations (Kapitalgesellschaften), which differ significantly in terms of liability and structure.

Forum on the Construction Industry. 1989-1990 Directory

The American Bar Association (ABA) Forum on the Construction Industry did publish a directory for the 1989-1990 period. These directories were part of the ABA's annual publications for its various sections and forums. Specific details regarding the directory: The directory contained a list of members and leadership for the specified period. During this time, the Forum was known as the ABA Forum Committee on the Construction Industry. John McGuinn served as the Chair of the Governing Committee in 1989. Deborah S. Griffin was the Chair for the 1990-1991 term, and served on the Governing Committee from 1986-1991. Mary J. McElroy was the Chair of the Contract Documents Division from 1989-1991. These directories are internal historical documents of the ABA and are typically found in physical formats within law libraries or archives, or potentially in specialized legal databases like HeinOnline.

Contracts in English: An introductory guide to understanding, using and developing 'Anglo-American' style contracts. 3rd ed.

The book serves as a general introduction into the common law approach to contract law including its application in England and the United States jurisdictions. In doing so, it serves to highlight the major areas of difference between the common law and civil law systems. Language: Issues related to contract drafting and development are often answered in practice by simply using foreign law contract templates. However, this approach can cause great confusion. Thus, for example, the term, "force majeure" is often regarded as being the direct equivalent of "höhere Gewalt" although the basic principles behind the two legal institutions may be very different in the respective legal systems. This book offers the opportunity to examine such concepts and thereby allows for not only an improved understanding of English language contracts but also better drafting skills in Englsh. Contents - What is a "Contract"? - Contract Formation - Consideration - Drafting and Interpretation - Liability - Penalties, Liquidated Damages - Jurisdiction and Applicable Law - Cross System Contracts - Problems with Translations - Warranties and Guarantees - Good Faith - Precontractual Liability - Template Boilerplates & Contracts - Cross-System Contracts - Common Law v. Civil Law NEU: - Contractual Estoppel - Brexit - Liability Management Vorteile auf einen Blick - General overview of the main contract types in common law - Clear guidelines for drafting - Support in avoiding typical mistakes and using "false friends" - Explanations of the main developments in case law authorities Zielgruppe The book is intended for lawyers, those legally-trained as well as for lay people who come into contact with and need to use contracts in a commercial setting. Because of the comparision of German and English legal terminology it would also be very useful as a guide for specialist legal translators.

UN Law on International Sales: The UN Convention on the International Sale of of Goods

This book is dedicated to Professor Schlechtriem and his tremendous life time work on the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and all past, present, and future participants of the Willem C Vis Moot for whom hopefully the book will be of some use. To have been asked to adopt Professor Peter Schlechtriem’s German text book Internationales UN-Kaufrecht (4 ed, Mohr Siebeck, Tübingen, 2007) for the English speaking student, academic, and practitioner and to work with Professor Schlechtriem on this edition has been a great honour. Unfortunately this book has been longer in the making than originally planned and more unfortunately still was not finished in time for Professor Schlechtriem to see its publishing. The aims of this book are more modest than other compendious treatments of the CISG. The main aim above all others has been to facilitate discussion on the use and application of the provisions of the CISG. As the CISG itself was the outcome of nearly a decade of debate between nations polarised in ideology, the importance of continuing discussion cannot be understated. This is especially true in regard to common law countries like Canada, Australia, and New Zealand which have all ratified the CISG many years ago but where its use and jurisprudence are rather underdeveloped.
