Cambridge University Press IMF Lending
Book SynopsisThis Element argues that governments allocate adjustment burdens strategically to protect their supporters, imposing adjustment costs upon the supporters of their opponents, who then protest in response. Using large-N micro-level survey data from three world regions and a global survey, it discusses the local political economy of International Monetary Fund (IMF) lending. It finds that opposition supporters in countries under IMF structural adjustment programs (SAP) are more likely to report that the IMF SAP increased economic hardships than government supporters and countries without IMF exposure. In addition, it finds that partisan gaps in IMF SAP evaluations widen in IMF program countries with an above-median number of conditions, suggesting that opposition supporters face heavier adjustment burdens, and that opposition supporters who think SAPs made their lives worse are more likely to protest.

Cambridge University Press State Immunity in International Law 89 Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law Series Number 89
Book SynopsisThe immunity or exemption enjoyed by States from legal proceedings before foreign national courts is a crucial area of international law. On the basis of an exhaustive analysis of judicial decisions, international treaties, national legislation, government statements, deliberations in international organisations as well as scholarly opinion, Xiaodong Yang traces the historical development of the relevant doctrine and practice, critically analyses the rationale for restrictive immunity and closely inspects such important exceptions to immunity as commercial transactions, contracts of employment, tortious liability, separate entities, the enforcement of judgments, waiver of immunity and the interplay between State immunity and human rights. The book draws a full picture of the law of State immunity as it currently stands and endeavours to provide useful information and guidance for practitioners, academics and students alike.Trade Review'Domestic judgments are 'state practice of particular significance' for the identification of custom in this area of law, but distilling international law from this far from general and consistent practice is a challenge, to say the least. Xiaodong Yang bravely took on that challenge … His book State Immunity in International Law is a rich study and a welcome and valuable addition to existing scholarship.' Rosanne van Alebeek, Netherlands International Law Review'The careful and forensic examination of broad international practice will lead to this book being referred to by academics, practitioners and students of international law as an authority for many years to come. This study is an important addition to the already well-established work on the subject.' Paul David Mora, Journal of International Criminal JusticeTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1.

Cambridge University Press European Consensus and the Legitimacy of the
Book SynopsisIn order to be effective, international tribunals should be perceived as legitimate adjudicators. European Consensus and the Legitimacy of the European Court of Human Rights provides in-depth analyses on whether European consensus is capable of enhancing the legitimacy of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Focusing on the method and value of European consensus, it examines the practicalities of consensus identification and application and discusses whether State-counting is appropriate in human rights adjudication. With over 30 interviews from judges of the ECtHR and qualitative analyses of the case law, this book gives readers access to firsthand and up-to-date information, and provides an understanding of how the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg interprets the European Convention on Human Rights.Trade Review'Kanstantsin Dzehtsiarou's book presents the first comprehensive treatise of consensus as used by the European Court of Human Rights … Dzehtsiarou deserves praise for this book. It discusses comprehensively a question hitherto often overlooked and opens up novel insights into 'all things consensus'. The combination of socio-legal method with the doctrinal method work[s] exceptionally well and should encourage future research along these lines.' Tobias Lock, Human Rights Law Review'The book is thoroughly researched, it presents its core ideas with lucidity and, most importantly, it takes a very clear stance in favour of a rather controversial method of interpretation, used as it is in the highly sensitive and politicized area of human rights law in Europe … In short, this book is a major achievement in the study of this important subject.' Vassilis Tzevelekos and Panos Kapotas, Common Market Law Review'Dzehtsiarou's analysis of The Court's use of a European consensus argument to generate legitimacy is well-balanced in terms of presenting both supporting and dissenting arguments. He confronts anti-majoritarians head on, arguing for example that the normative grounding of the European consensus idea in majoritarian logic has not prevented The Court from deploting it in defense of a wide range of minority groups - religious, ethnic, and linguistic.' Stephen C. Ropp, Human Rights ReviewTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2. The concept of European consensus; 3. Types of consensus; 4. Behind the scenes: comparative analysis within the Court; 5. Criticism of European consensus; 6. Legitimacy of the Court and legitimacy of its judgments; 7. European consensus: perceptions of the ECtHR judges; 8. Conclusion.

It provides fresh insights and practical solutions for policymakers and practitioners on key issues concerning state-owned enterprises, subsidies and beyond.Trade Review'Henry Gao and Weihuan Zhou have done the nearly impossible—unpacked the relationship between the triumph of China and the decline of the WTO while presenting a compelling challenge to the conventional wisdom that WTO rules are inadequate to address Chinese state capitalism.

Jennifer Hillman, Co-Director of Center of Inclusive Trade and Development and Professor from Practice, Georgetown University Law Center'This is a very useful contribution destined for all students and practitioners of international trade. The authors address the core question that has been recently plaguing the world trading regime, namely, to what extent the regime choice is prejudged by the letter and the spirit of the current multilateral disciplines.

Cambridge University Press Capital Controls and International Economic Law
Book SynopsisThis book explores the tension between capital controls and international economic law. Does the IMF have the authority to regulate the use of capital controls? Mercurio shows how to test whether a given country's use of capital controls is consistent with their obligations under various trade and investment agreements.Trade Review'This essential volume illuminates a dark but critical component of international economic law: the international legal regulation of capital controls. This is a field of deep economic and political interest, and implicates the question of the “right to regulate,” in connection with economic policy in developing and developed countries. But the applicable law is fragmented and somewhat ambiguous, with various rules associated with various institutions. Prof. Mercurio provides a careful and persuasive analysis of the current legal situation under IMF, WTO, and preferential trade agreement law, and an essential roadmap for policy-makers as they seek to comply with, or perhaps to reform, the law. This lucid and well-documented volume also provides a valuable resource for students and scholars of international economic law.' Joel P. Trachtman, Professor of International Law and Henry J. Braker Professor of Commercial Law, The Fletcher School, Tufts University'Bryan Mercurio's new book provides a fascinating and excellently written study of the changes of the IMF's dealing with capital controls in the past decades, and its relationship with international economic law. It convincingly demonstrates that necessary capital controls are not in an unresolvable conflict with countries' obligations under WTO or investment law. This is an important finding, in particular in a time where we do see increasing investment controls for public security reasons around the globe.'

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC From Women to the World
Book SynopsisAn Independent Book of the MonthFeatured in Vogue Arabia Featured by Vanity Fair Acclaimed writer Elif Shafak writes a letter to Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister of New Zealand after the Christchurch attack. Actress Yasmine AlMassri pens a poem about war for her mother. Activist and TV presenter June Sarpong addresses designer Diane Von Furstenberg.These are a few of the moving and insightful letters that make up From Women to the World, a book by journalist, author and executive Elizabeth Filippouli, which brings together letters from a global group of accomplished women - politicians, royalty, actors, writers, activists and more every one addressed to a woman who means something to each of them. The results are extraordinary, heartfelt letters to historical figures, mentors, family members or inspiring ordinary people. Each is based on these women''s personal histories and experiences, drawing attention to social issues such as homelessness, war, LGBTrade ReviewPoignant. * The Independent *Trailblazing female politicians, royals, actors and writers from around the world write letters to historical figures, famous women, family members and mentors, sharing their heartfelt personal experiences while drawing attention to pressing social issues that fuel their activism… Through their letters they reflect on their lives, careers, relationships, successes and challenges, and although many highlight the various trials and tribulations this generation of Arab women has had to endure and overcome, the overall message is one of activism and optimism for the future. * The National *In this collection of writings from women across the world, letter-writing is put to work to declare women's solidarity, strength and resolve… A book to delve into when in need of wise counsel. * The Morning Star *A book like this… is as close as possible to a bouquet of roses… each one [letter] is special and distinctive and suffused with a different fragrance. Without a doubt every reader will find.. [within them] a dose of love, hope and inspiration. * Asharq-Al-Awsat *Powerful and insightful letters from a global group of accomplished women… From Women to the World is an attempt by these incredible, outspoken, and inspiring women to lend us their hands, through their experiences, to bring us along to a new century of change. * The New Arab *Elizabeth Filippouli’s book, From Women to the World, is profoundly moving. A series of letters written by women, to the women who changed their lives, it is in itself likely to change the lives of the many women who are destined to read it. Among the many powerful and incisive stories, the letter written by Muna AbuSulayman to Margaret Garner, the enslaved woman attempting to escape to freedom, who murdered her daughter rather than see her return to captivity, induced me to tears. I will be buying it for my daughter and my mother. This is not a book to miss. * Linda Duberley, Writer and Broadcaster *Living in the 21st century, we should not be forced to question ourselves about gender equality and gender equivalence. We all have to remain vigilant not to lose the giant steps forward that were made in earlier centuries to give the woman the place she rightfully deserves as a human being, a free individual, possessor of her own body, entitled to being single, a wife, a mother, a CEO, a preacher or whatever she decides to become or to be. No other restrictions applied then those she decides to endorse. The hard work continues. The beauty of those letters lie in their fragility toward others and in their strength to become and to be at the same time. This book is a must read! * Sir Dirk Brossé, Conductor/Composer, Music Director The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia *From Women to the World is a remarkable book reflecting the sentiments of women from across the world in moving tributes to those they love and respect. These exceptional people, who have often achieved success against the odds, share values, passion, and a mutual, powerful faith in the way women can change the world. Each beautifully crafted letter tells a story, touching on injustice, prejudice, oppression, and inequality, but also highlighting the courage, determination, and self-belief that women draw on to try and achieve their rightful place in male dominated societies. It is both a literary gem and a slice of history. This is a tremendous book.. * Richard Peel, Communications Strategist *From Women to the World features missives from women to the women who inspired and sustained them. It is a work of profound reflection through and about relationships. Elizabeth Filippouli makes these letters a sort of 'collective voice' of what is common to these women, highly varied in specifics and yet linked by shared concern and commitments. This volume opens up the power of relationships and gives access to these private voices to all of us. It is indeed 'from women to the world'. * Professor Marc Ventresca, Said Business School University of Oxford *From Women to the World is a thought-provoking, deeply inspirational, and beautifully compiled tribute to women's leadership. I commend Elizabeth for this important and timeless contribution to the growing body of scholarship and literature that honours the unlimited potential and unparalleled capacity of women’s leadership, and highlights its holistic impact on economies, on societies, and whole communities. * Haifa Al Kaylani, President & Founder, The Arab International Women’s Forum *From Women to the World is a thought-provoking and at times difficult read. In this carefully curated series of letters, Elizabeth Filippouli has, in her own words, 'handed over a baton'. Together we have the power to change society and make it fairer for all. To all who contributed: thank you. To my fellow readers: now is the time - we move forward together. * Sarah Waddington, Chart.PR FCIPR FPRCA MIOD. Managing Director, Astute.Work Founder, #FuturePRoof *This is a gem of a book. * Vicky Pryce. Economist/Author of ‘Women vs Capitalism’ *I could say that From Women to the World is a role model female platform. It is a dialogue between women that inspires, thrills, touches the souls and feelings of countless readers that surely this spectacular book will have. Thank you, Elizabeth Filippouli and all the brave and valuable women authors of these letters, for let us share their fights, pains, and victories. * Rosalía Arteaga Serrano, Former President of the Republic of Ecuador *Too often we focus on metrics and measurements, yet it is stories and relationships that lead to real, long lasting transformation. These stories from around the world will have an impact on the reader as they did on those who feature in them. This is a beautiful, powerful book. * Helen Alderson, International Committee of the Red Cross *Elizabeth says: Feminism is about accepting the inevitable limitations while nurturing mind independence. When you read this book you will realize that none of its contributors accept either inevitability or limitations. Well done Elizabeth for this remarkable step in breaking the mould. * Doug Wills, Editor Emeritus Evening Standard *This is a unique book about the race to dignity and equality which will take long, but with the right leaders we will get there faster!’ * Nikos Koumettis, Coca Cola Group President Europe Middle East & Africa *Reading these letters, and the stories of the women writing them and to whom they were written, made me cry, smile with recognition and made me feel humble when I read some of the stories.

Overwhelmingly they made me feel inspired and hopeful that we live in a world where there are many, many people of compassion, wisdom and emotional strength despite us rarely hearing their voices. * Leonor Stjepic, CEO of Montessori Group *If you were to write a letter to a woman of History say, or of Today, a Relation or anyone, someone you can imagine walking into the future with - Who would it be?
