Springer Nature Switzerland AG Investor-State Dispute Settlement and National
Book SynopsisThis open access book examines the multiple intersections between national and international courts in the field of investment protection, and suggests possible modes for regulating future jurisdictional interactions between domestic courts and international tribunals. The current system of foreign investment protection consists of more than 3,000 international investment agreements (IIAs), most of which provide for investment arbitration as the forum for the resolution of disputes between foreign investors and host States. However, national courts also have jurisdiction over certain matters involving cross-border investments. International investment tribunals and national courts thus interact in a number of ways, which range from harmonious co-existence to reinforcing complementation, reciprocal supervision and, occasionally, competition and discord. The book maps this complex relationship between dispute settlement bodies in the current investment treaty context and assesses the potential role of domestic courts in future treaty frameworks that could emerge from the States’ current efforts to reform the system.The book concludes that, in certain areas of interaction between domestic courts and international investment tribunals, the “division of labor” between the two bodies is not always optimal, producing inefficiencies that burden the system as a whole. In these areas, there is a need for improvement by introducing a more fruitful allocation of tasks between domestic and international courts and tribunals – whatever form(s) the international mechanism for the settlement of investment disputes may take.Given its scope, the book contributes not only to legal analysis, but also to the policy reflections that are needed for ongoing efforts to reform investor-State dispute settlement.Table of ContentsScope and objective of this report.- Why investment arbitration and not domestic courts? The origins of the modern investment dispute resolution system, criticism, and future outlook.- The interplay between investor-state arbitration and domestic courts in the existing IIA framework.- The path to reform of ISDS: What role for national courts?.- Conclusions and recommendations.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Adaptive Mediation and Conflict Resolution: Peace-making in Colombia, Mozambique, the Philippines, and Syria
Book SynopsisThis open access book introduces adaptive mediation as an alternative approach that enables mediators to go beyond liberal peace mediation, or other determined-design models of mediation, in the context of contemporary conflict resolution and peace-making initiatives. Adaptive mediation is grounded in complexity theory, and is specifically designed to cope with highly dynamic conflict situations characterized by uncertainty and a lack of predictability. It is also a facilitated mediation process whereby the content of agreements emerges from the parties to the conflict themselves, informed by the context within which the conflict is situated. This book presents the core principles and practices of adaptive mediation in conjunction with empirical evidence from four diverse case studies – Colombia, Mozambique, The Philippines, and Syria – with a view to generate recommendations for how mediators can apply adaptive mediation approaches to resolve and transform contemporary and future armed conflicts.Trade Review“A long-awaited work in peace and conflict studies. … This book provides an excellent understanding of the concept of adaptive mediation that can be used to create sustainable peace. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in the field of peace and conflict studies as well as mediation practitioners who work for the United Nations, national governments, or non-governmental organizations.” (Sa'odah Sa'odah, Bunyamin Maftuh, Sapriya Sapriya, International Peacekeeping, June 19, 2023)Table of Contents1.

Springer International Publishing AG The Parthenon Marbles and International Law
Book SynopsisThe Parthenon marbles case is the most famous international cultural heritage dispute concerning repatriation of looted antiquities, the Parthenon marbles in the British Museum’s ‘Elgin Collection’. The case has polarised observers ever since Elgin had the marbles hacked out of the ancient temple at the turn of the 19th century in Ottoman-occupied Athens. In 1816, a debt-stricken Elgin sold the marbles to the British government, which subsequently entrusted them to the British Museum, where they have remained since then.Much ink has been spilled on the Parthenon marbles. The ethical and cultural merits of their repatriation have been fiercely debated for years. But what has generally not been considered are the legal merits of their return in light of contemporary international law. This book is the first in legal scholarship to provide an international law perspective of the cause célèbre of international cultural heritage disputes and, in doing so, to clarify the new customary international law on the return of cultural property unlawfully removed from its original context.The book, which includes a foreword by Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, is a unique reference work on the legal case for the return of the Parthenon marbles and the new normative framework for the protection of cultural heritage.Trade Review“In The Parthenon Marbles and International Law, Catharine Titi … examines how the marbles were acquired, the question of good title, and the various legal mechanisms that may or may not be employed to secure their return to Greece. … There is nothing like the regimented examinations of one trained in law. … thorough recital … .” (Eleni Vassilika, The Art Newspaper, theartnewspaper.com, September 29, 2023)“This gem of a book … a very strong and formidable text … . The Parthenon Marbles and International Law is both a tour de horizon and a tour de force on the law. Marvelously written and with a keen eye for both detail and nuance, Professor Catharine Titi informs as much as she provokes thought on the nature of international law ... . It is a must read for anyone interested in this area of international law.” (Michael G.

Springer International Publishing AG Mediating Sovereign Debt Disputes
Book SynopsisThis book provides a fresh perspective on resolving sovereign debt disputes within the investor-state mediation framework. In response to the limitations of traditional approaches to adjudicating public debt issues and the resulting gaps in international law concerning sovereign defaults, creditors have increasingly turned to investor-state treaty arbitrations to recover unpaid debts. However, this shift has raised numerous criticisms and concerns.Accordingly, this book explores the uncharted territory of utilizing mediation as a means to settle sovereign debt claims. It sheds light on the distinctive characteristics of mediation as a process, setting it apart from judicial litigation and private arbitration, and emphasizing the unique outcomes it can generate. The central argument of this book is that mediation should be seriously considered as a viable option for resolving sovereign debt disputes. Not only does it offer a more cost-effective and expeditious approach, but it also has the potential to facilitate economic recovery and sustain continued investment.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

De Gruyter Contemporary Trends in Conflict and
Book SynopsisContemporary Trends in Conflict and Communication: Technology and Social Media examines the myriad ways conflict communication occurs in mediated spaces, whether through social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, on private social enterprise spaces, or through formal online dispute resolution (ODR) technologies. We were experiencing the increase of conflict communication in hybrid spaces prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, yet the global lockdown that shifted everyone to remote teaching, learning, and working heightened our attention to the impact of technology and social media on conflict dynamics. While social media is often implicated in the spread of alternative facts, false news, and intimidation, technology and new media also have the capacity to enhance and transform conflict communication in education, workplace, and socio-political settings. The contributors to this volume showcase cutting-edge research that helps us make sense of the times we are living in and is organized in three sections: (1) Using technology to promote dialogue and collaboration, (2) Conflict communication on social media, (3) Online conflict management in education, training, and practice. This collection is relevant to scholars of conflict studies as it highlights key trends and areas for future research to improve conflict communication, dialogue, and collaboration and proposes ideas for using technology and social media to transform and connect rather than polarize and divide.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Delegation von Privatautonomie auf Dritte:
Book SynopsisDie Privatautonomie als Rechtsmacht zur Selbstgestaltung gehört zu den Grundlagen unserer Privatrechtsordnung. In welchem Umfang kann die nähere Ausgestaltung einer rechtlichen Regelung, etwa in einem Schiedsgutachten, der bindenden - gestaltenden oder feststellenden - Entscheidung eines Dritten überlassen werden? Welches Verfahren hat dieser zu beachten? Wie und von wem wird die Entscheidung überprüft? Das Gesetz regelt diese Fragen an der Schnittstelle von materiellem Recht und Verfahrensrecht nur fragmentarisch und für Schuld- und Erbrecht unterschiedlich. Jens Kleinschmidt entwickelt auf rechtsvergleichender Grundlage gemeinsame Grundsätze der Delegation von Privatautonomie. Er führt die Entscheidung des Dritten, ihr Verfahren und ihre Kontrolle konsequent auf die Selbstbestimmung des Delegierenden zurück, grenzt die Aufgabenbereiche von privaten Parteien, Schiedsgerichten und staatlichen Gerichten ab und bestimmt, wann eine Regelung höchstpersönlich zu treffen ist.

Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Die Stiftung buergerlichen Rechts im
Book SynopsisDer Ausgestaltung der gerichtlichen Rechtsschutzmöglichkeiten bei stiftungsrechtlichen Streitigkeiten kommt insbesondere aufgrund der Struktureigenheiten der Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts besondere Bedeutung zu: Da sich die Stiftung mit ihrer Anerkennung von der Person des Stifters emanzipiert und nur noch sich selbst gehört, ist sie als verselbständigte Vermögensmasse ohne Mitglieder, Gesellschafter oder wirtschaftlich interessierte Eigentümer hinsichtlich der Überlagerung der Stiftungstätigkeit durch stiftungsfremde Sonderinteressen gefährdet. Die Arbeit widmet sich den Konsequenzen und untersucht, wie sich die strukturellen Besonderheiten der Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts als Rechtsform prozessual abbilden lassen, in welchen Bereichen Lücken bestehen und wie diese im Sinne der Stiftung und der Durchsetzung des Stifterwillens geschlossen werden können. Zudem werden Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Errichtung einer Stiftungsschiedsgerichtsbarkeit dargestellt.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Confidentiality in International Commercial
Book SynopsisArbitration is an essential component in business. In an age when transparency is a maxim, important issues which the laws governing arbitration currently fail to address are the extent to which disclosure of information can be constrained by private agreement along with the extent to which the duty to preserve confidentiality can be stretched. Absent a coherent legal framework and extensive qualitative and quantitative data, it is equally difficult to suggest and predict future directions. This book offers a tool for attaining centralised access to otherwise fragmentary and dispersed material, as well as a comprehensive analysis and detailed exposition of the position in relation to confidentiality in arbitration in the jurisdictions of England, USA, France and Germany. Table of ContentsThe History, Importance and Modern Use of Arbitration.- Problems and Questions Encountered in Relation to Confidentiality in Arbitration.- The Present Status of Confidentiality in International Commercial Arbitration in the Various Jurisdictions.- Critical Analysis, Overall Assessment and Discussion.- Transnational Law and Arbitration.- Towards a Uniform Arbitration Law?.- Conclusions.

NIAS Press Everyday Justice in Myanmar: Challenges and
Book SynopsisThis volume explores how ordinary people in present-day Myanmar obtain justice and resolve disputes and crimes in a time of radical transition in government, politics, society, economy, etc. Its empirical questions serve as a lens to analyze the wider dynamics of state making, the role of identity politics, and the constitution of authority in a country emerging from decades of dictatorship and civil war. Based on a unique collection of ethnographic studies with ordinary people's experiences to the fore, its contributions illustrate that legal pluralism exists in urban as well as rural contexts: from the cities of Yangon and Mawlamyine to the Naga hills, the Pa-O self-administered zone, the Thai refugee camps, and villages in the Karen and Mon states. In all of these places, the official state system is only one among many avenues for people seeking resolution in criminal and civil cases. Indeed, a common practice is to evade the state whenever possible. Most people prefer local and informal resolutions, and therefore the main actors consulted in everyday justice are village elders, local administrators, religious leaders, spiritual actors, and the justice systems or individual members of ethnic organizations. Prevailing are also a range of alternative understandings of (in)justice, misfortunes, and disputes that differ from those of the state-legal system. These alternatives are based on different cultural norms, religious beliefs, and forms of identification. Despite the ongoing transition in Myanmar, the long history of military rule and conflicts based on ethnic divisions continue to foster a mistrust in the state and an orientation towards 'the local' in everyday justice. The book explores these forms of state evasion and what it means more broadly for state-society relations in the current transition.Table of ContentsEveryday Justice in the Myanmar Transition Edited by Helene Maria Kyed Contents Introduction: Everyday justice in a contested transition Helene Maria Kyed1 Chapter 1: Forum shopping and plural authorities in southern Mon State Mi Thang Sorn Poine and Helene Maria Kyed38 Chapter 2: The shadow power of armed actors: justice seeking practices in a rural Pa-O self-administered zone Mi Thang Sorn Poine and Nan Tin Nilar Win63 Chapter 3: Why is customary law so strong?

T.M.C. Asser Press The Court of Arbitration for Sport and Its
Book SynopsisThis book takes a close look at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), challenging existing claims and answering previously unanswered questions, by considering all of its publicly available decisions, both in its entirety as a body of jurisprudence and on a case-by-case level.It also investigates the actors involved in adjudication before the CAS, both the parties that bring disputes before the CAS and the arbitrators that resolve them, and in so doing establish precedents that govern sports generally.While the book relies upon and includes more traditional legal theory and analysis, it combines this with an empirical analysis of a large portion of the CAS's decisions. Hereby it relies upon and relates to the theory of the development of a transnational legal order in sports, the lex sportiva.The publication is targeted at and will benefit those professionally working in or interested in the fields of sports law, arbitration law, transnational law, or empirical legal studies. Johan Lindholm is a Professor of Law at Umeå University in Sweden. Trade Review “In this intellectual, erudite work, Lindholm, relying on a network analysis, proves that in large part CAS retains the characteristics of the oldest network in sport – the old boys’ club, and an old Swiss boys’ club at that.” (Jack Anderson, idrottsforum.org, September 25, 2019)Table of Contents
