Non-state actors and human rights
Alston P.,This series brings together the Collected Courses of the Academy of European Law in Florence. The Academy's mission is to produce scholarly analyses which are at the cutting edge of the two fields in which it works: European Union law and human rights law. A 'general course' is given each year in each field, by a distinguished scholar and/or practitioner, who either examines the field as a whole through a particular thematic, conceptual or philosophical lens, or who looks at a particular theme in the context of the overall body of law in the field. The Academy also publishes each year a volume of collected essays with a specific theme in each of the two fields.

Ceta Investment law
Bungenberg,Since the publication of the first edition in 1986, the five editions of this work have charted the major evolutions in the law and practice of international arbitra- tion over the last quarter century. In some ways this fifth edition maintains a continuity with the past; in other ways it marks a departure. Those who have grown familiar with the structure, content and style of past edi- tions will recognise much in the new edition. Although two changes have been made to the chapter orders (the chapter on the Agreement to Arbitrate now fol- lows immediately after the introductory chapter, and the chapter on investment treaties now precedes the chapters on challenge and enforcement of awards), the chapters continue to follow (indeed now more logically) the chronological order- ing in which the anatomy of an international arbitration is best understood, taught and practised. The content continues to cover many of the key subjects relevant to the law and practice of international arbitration that appeared in the fourth edition, with some notable new additions that are identified below. And as for style, we have made a determined attempt to retain what many readers tell us is the valued signature of this commentary; a clarity and economy of expression that actively discriminates between notable authorities and repetitive citations.

Il Trattatato Di Maastricht sull'unione Europaea
Gialdino C.C.,Europäische Union bildet eine dynamische, mit den Mitgliedstaaten eng verfloch- tene Ordnung, die zutreffend als Mehrebenensystem europäischen Regierens beschrie- ben wird. Die politische und rechtliche Eigenart der Europäischen Union erschließt sich daher erst in der Gesamtschau auf Verträge, institutionelle Praxis sowie deren Wirkung in den Mitgliedstaaten und im internationalen Bereich. Seit der Erweiterung im Jahre 2013 sind Bürger aus 28 Staaten durch gemeinsame Zie- le, Werte und eine gemeinsame Rechtsordnung verbunden. Diese umfasst längst nicht mehr nur Regeln für den Binnenmarkt, sondern bestimmt die Grundrechte der Bürger und reicht bis zu Strafrecht und Telekommunikation. Recht und Politik der Union wir- ken unmittelbar im Inneren und gestalten die Beziehungen zu europäische Nachbar- staaten und der Welt.

International commercial agreements
Fox F.,Several years ago I participated in a number of international business transactions. Some concerned the drafting and negotiating of interna- tional commercial agreements. Some had to do with disputes that arose between the contracting parties after the contract was signed. One case required commencing a proceeding in a federal court in the United States to confirm a Swiss arbitral award rendered on behalf of a Greek company against a mid-eastern petroleum company that was a wholly owned subsidiary of a U.S. corporation. These cases taught me about the incredible complexity of the typical international com- mercial transaction and how different an international transaction is from a domestic transaction. As I tried to educate myself on all the issues that arise in either drafting or disputing an international con- tract, I found that the bulk of the literature in this area was either concentrated in multivolume treatises or scattered among law journal articles. Most of this literature was written by experts for experts. Legal jargon in a domestic setting is troublesome, but the assump- tions of expertise and the jargon used in the literature of internation- al commercial transactions can be overwhelming. These experiences revealed a need for a one-volume text that lawyers could turn to for fundamental information and analysis.

Law of International Trade
Chuah J.C.T.,Over the five years since the first edition, a number of developments required an updating of the text. The new edition incorporates these major changes including the enactment of the new French Civil Code in 2016, the new and expanded edition of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC) in 2016, the publication of INCOTERMS 2020, and the adoption of the first comprehensive Chinese Civil Code (CCC), which will come into force on 1 January 2021. In addition, the book has been updated to include the constantly developing case law and the rapidly increasing literature on international sales law. The numbers of updates are too many to name but include recent events, such as a discussion of COVID-19 as a force majeure event, more in-depth discussion of agency law, and additional sample or model clauses. The 'Additional Sources' section has been updated with references to new secondary sources and scholarship. Another change is that references to the Common European Sales Law (CESL) have been limited to those issues and topics where the CESL offers solutions to practitioners and scholars in resolving practical and theoretical problems.

Mitgliedschaftseingriff und Normpragung
Geiger J.,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.

International Sales Law

Commercial law
Mankowski P.,Cross-border trade substantially fosters the wealth of nations. Today it is a multi-tril- lion euros business. Cross-border dealings are in particularly dependent on reliable rules and legal certainty. Legal ramifications and a dependable legal framework are thus of the absolute essence. Commercial law is the branch of the law called upon to perform this task. In a cross-border, and that is: in a truly international context, this poses a particular challenge. Not surprisingly, international commercial law has become the main field of international legal unification. The commercial needs involved are all too pressing and too real to be ignored or neglected. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is said to be the greatest success of substantive uni- form law. The law of carriage of goods or passengers comes a close second if not an equal-ranked first. Beneath and besides this unification of law between States another level of 'private codifications' has developed over the last decades. Its most prominent protagonists are the Incoterms, the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Letters of Credit (UCP) and the UNIDROIT Principles on International Commercial Contracts (PICC). The ensuing panorama is both complex and fascinating. Its fascina- tion also stems from the manifold interfaces and interactions between the various sub- branches of commercial law.

International Commercial Arbitration
Tesfay A.Y.,This book is the first-ever to explore commercial arbitration in the Ethiopian context. Alternative conflict resolution mechanisms are nothing new to the country: arbitration as a dispute settlement mechanism by which a third party issues a binding decision on a dispute between two or more parties by exercising the jurisdictional mandate conferred on it by the parties themselves was established with the adoption of the Civil Code in 1960. This pioneering book evaluates the extent to which Ethiopias laws and institutions allow disputing parties to effectively reap the benefits of international commercial arbitration. It interprets the relevant legislation and attempts to bridge the gaps in it, in order to help lawyers, arbitrators, arbitral institutions, academics and judges to understand and apply it. It also helps parties seeking to complete international transactions pertaining to Ethiopia make the right choice regarding conflict resolution.

Space Security law
Abeyratne R.,Against the variegated background of bewilderment and cautious optimism that space transportation offers, this book begins with an exposé on international politics, the principles of which bear upon space transportation, as well as the closeness of air space and outer space, and activities that straddle both frontiers at the same time. It discusses current issues and possibilities of communications and transportation in outer space, as well as the liabilities and accountability of the key players of space exploration.

The WTO Transit Regime For Landlocked Countries and its Impacts on Members' Regional Transit Agreements
Akbari S.,This book assesses Afghanistan's transit trade with Pakistan in the context of WTO transit regime for landlocked countries and its impacts on Members regional transit agreements. The key questions this book seeks to answer are the extent Afghanistan can benefit from WTO transit rules in demanding freedom of transit through the territory of Pakistan, how these rules influence the transit agreement concluded between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and finally how useful it would be to challenge Pakistan under the WTO dispute settlement system for its failure to provide Afghanistan freedom of transit and free access to and from the sea.

European Yearbook of Constitutional Law 2020
Ballin H.E.,The European Yearbook of Constitutional Law (EYCL) is an annual publication devoted to the study of constitutional law. It aims to provide a forum for in-depth analysis and discussion of new developments in the field, both in Europe and beyond. This second volume examines the constitutional positioning of cities across space and time. Unrelenting urbanisation means that most people are, or soon will be, living in cities and that city administrations become, in many respects, their quintessential governing units. Cities are places where State power is operationalised and concretised; where laws and government policies transform from parchment objectives to practical realities. In a similar vein, cities are also places for the realisation of the constitutional rights and liberties enjoyed by individuals.

Islam, Custom and Human Rights
Saeed L.,For the first time, the author has explored the intertwinement of written law, Islamic law, and customary law in the highly complex Afghan society, being deeply influenced by traditional cultural and religious convictions. Given these facts, the author explores how to bridge the exigencies of a human rights-driven penal law and conflicting social norms and understandings by using the rich tradition of Islamic law and its possible openness for contemporary rule of law standards. This work is based on ample field research in connection with a thorough analysis of the normative contexts. It is a landmark, since it offers broadly acceptable and thus feasible solutions for the Afghan legal practice. The book is of equal interest for scientists and practitioners interested in legal, religious, social, and political developments concerning human rights and regional traditions in the MENA region, in Afghanistan in particular.

Transnational legal Activism in Global Value Chains
Maab S.M.,This open access book documents and analyses the various interventions - legal, political, and even artistic - that followed the Ali Enterprises factory fire in Karachi, Pakistan, in 2012. It illuminates the different substantive and procedural aspects of the legal proceedings and negotiations between the various local and transnational actors implicated in the Ali Enterprises fire, as well as the legal and policy reforms sparked by the incident. This endeavour serves to embed these legal cases and reform efforts in the larger context of human and labour rights protection and global value chain governance. It also offers a concrete case study relevant for ongoing debates around the role of transnational approaches in making human rights litigation, advocacy, and law reform more effective. In this regard, the book interrogates and critically reflects on such legal campaigns and local and transnational reform work with a view to future transformative legal and social activism.

International trade law
Trebilcock M.J.,"Who better to provide this highly accessible yet thorough introduction to international trade law than Michael Trebilcock, one of the world's pre-eminent scholars in the field. It introduces all of the important issues in contemporary trade law in straightforward language, capturing the critical details of each topic with both clarity and brevity. It can also serve as an excellent companion to the thick textbooks that accompany international economics or international trade law courses, or help anyone interested in this topic to understand the issues without slugging through legal and economics jargon that makes other sources less approachable.
