Cambridge University Press The Life of Hersch Lauterpacht
Book SynopsisHersch Lauterpacht, of whom this book is an intimate biography by his son, Elihu, was one of the most prolific and influential international lawyers of the first half of the twentieth century. Having come to England from Austria in the early 1920s, he first researched and taught at the London School of Economics before moving to Cambridge in 1937 to become Whewell Professor of International Law. He did valuable work to enhance relations with the United States during the Second World War and was active after the war in the prosecution of William Joyce and the major Nazi war criminals. For ten years he was also involved in various significant items of professional work and in 1955 he was elected a judge of the International Court of Justice. The book contains many extracts from his correspondence, the interest of which will extend to lawyers, historians of the period and beyond.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'Hersch Lauterpacht was widely and rightly regarded as the greatest international legal scholar of the twentieth century. His brilliant if too brief tenure as a judge of the International Court of Justice matched his scholarly attainments. His son Elihu has now written a superb biography of his father that will attract the admiration of the international legal fraternity of the twenty-first century.' Stephen M. Schwebel, Former President of the International Court of Justice (1981–2000)'Hersch Lauterpacht is a highly interesting subject, and the biography is well written. It should be of great interest not only to those who are interested in the history of international law, but to anyone who want to understand the travails and motivations of one of its major personalities, whose works still resonate.'

Cambridge University Press International Law and International Relations Themes in International Relations
Book SynopsisIn this fully updated and revised edition, the authors explore the evolution, nature and function of international law in world politics and situate international law in its historical and political context. They propose three interdisciplinary 'lenses' (realist, liberal and constructivist) through which to view the role of international law in world politics and suggest that the concept of an international society provides the overall context within which international legal developments occur. These theoretical perspectives offer different ways of looking at international law in terms of what it is, how it works and how it changes. Topics covered include the use of force, international crimes, human rights, international trade and the environment. The new edition also contains more material on non-western perspectives, international institutions and non-state actors and a new bibliography. Each chapter features discussion questions and guides to further reading.Table of ContentsPreface to the second edition; Introduction; Part I. The Foundations: 1. The nature of international law; 2. The evolution of international law; 3. Three lenses: realism, liberalism and constructivism; Part II. The Law in World Politics: 4. Use of force; 5. Human rights; 6. International crimes; 7.

Cambridge University Press The WTO and International Investment Law
Book SynopsisJürgen Kurtz addresses the growing connections between international trade and investment law, proposing a theoretically grounded and doctrinally tractable framework to understand the deepening relationship between them. This book also offers reform ideas and possibilities, which will be of interest to treaty negotiators and other government officials.Trade Review'Professor Kurtz's book is a stimulating and evocative treatment of a field of contemporary and growing importance. His thorough scholarship impresses, and his analysis and insight both inform and challenge. This is a very important work.' Donald McRae, Jerusalem Review of Legal Studies'The WTO and International Investment Law by Professor Jürgen Kurtz is without a doubt the most comprehensive and thorough study to date of the evolving relationship between international trade law and international investment law. It is magisterial in its scope, covering a broad range of international disputes (within the World Trade Organization) and relevant investor-state arbitrations. It engages with both trade law, and investment protection law, each on its own terms, with a fluency of discourse that will surely be appreciated by scholars and practitioners in both fields … [It] will be the standard against which all academic forays into this area of regime interaction will be measured.' Tomer Broude, Jerusalem Review of Legal Studies'Without doubt, this book is a comprehensive and stimulating study by an expert in both fields that will deepen understanding of the relationship between trade and investment. The author masterfully brings together discourses that are taking place between scholars and practitioners in each regime but frequently in relative isolation from each other.' Rhea T. Hoffmann, European Journal of International Law'… remarkable for the richness of its approach, covering both black letter law and doctrine as well as the conceptual and historical context of the converging, overlapping and still diverging systems - which makes for a book valuable even to those outside the immediate fields treated.' Joseph Weiler, European Journal of International Law'This is a challenging and inspiring book, with powerful arguments that will set the benchmark for future discussions on the relationship between WTO law and international investment law, their cross-fertilization and convergence, cross-inspiration and the borrowing of institutions, rules, interpretive methods and arguments.' Catherine Titi, Common Market Law Review'The WTO and International Investment Law offers the reader an intriguing picture of the current state of international investment law … highly recommended reading for everyone interested in the current as well as the future development of international investment law.'

Random House USA Inc The Nuremberg Interviews An American
Book SynopsisDuring the Nuremberg trials, Leon Goldensohn—a U.S. Army psychiatrist—monitored the mental health of two dozen Germans leaders charged with carrying out genocide. These recorded conversations went largely unexamined for more than fifty years, until Robert Gellately—one of the premier historians of Nazi Germany—made them available to the public in this remarkable collection. Here are interviews with the likes of Hans Frank, Hermann Goering, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and Joachim von Ribbentrop—the highest ranking Nazi officials in the Nuremberg jails. Here too are interviews with lesser-known officials essential to the inner workings of the Third Reich. Candid and often shockingly truthful, The Nuremberg Interviews is a profound addition to our understanding of the Nazi mind and mission.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Grenzüberschreitungen: Beiträge zum
Book SynopsisDie hier gesammelten Beiträge sind zwei wesentlichen Arbeitsgebieten des Jubilars gewidmet, dem internationalen Verfahrensrecht und der Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit. Aus diesen Bereichen werden aktuelle und grundsätzliche Probleme von weltweit anerkannten Spezialisten diskutiert. Im Vordergrund stehen die Probleme grenzüberschreitender Sachverhalte bei der Rechtsdurchsetzung, sei es im Bereich der staatlichen Gerichtsbarkeit, sei es in der alternativen Streitbeilegung, insbesondere der internationalen Schiedsgerichtsbarkeit. Die Thematik gewinnt durch die Europäische Rechtsetzungskompetenz und Gesetzgebung neben den internationalen Konventionen, insbesondere den Bemühungen der Haager Konferenz um einheitliche Regelungen für transnationale Probleme, neue Dimensionen. Themen wie der neue Europäische Vollstreckungstitel über unbestrittene Forderungen, die besonderen Probleme der Brüssel II a-Verordnung, der Entwurf eines Haager Übereinkommens über die Gerichtsstandswahl stehen neben Grundsatzfragen wie Armut der Schiedspartei, Neutralität des Schiedsrichters, Anerkennungsproblemen bei einer Scheidung nach jüdischem Recht und Fragen aus dem Bereich des europäisch-amerikanischen Justizkonflikts. Die Beiträge spiegeln die internationale Diskussion in aktuellen und sensiblen Bereichen des internationalen Verfahrensrechts im weitesten Sinne.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Internationale Zwangsvollstreckung und
Book SynopsisDas internationale Zwangsvollstreckungsrecht wird nach verbreiteter Auffassung durch das Territorialitätsprinzip beherrscht. Vollstreckungsakte, die ohne körperlichen Zugriff auskommen, können jedoch nicht eindeutig lokalisiert werden. Tanja Domej zeichnet aus vergleichender Perspektive die Kontroversen nach, die sich vor diesem Hintergrund um die Bedeutung des Territorialitätsprinzips für die grenzüberschreitende Forderungspfändung ranken. Sie zeigt, dass sich die relevanten Sachprobleme auf Basis dieses Prinzips nicht lösen lassen, aber auch eine schlichte Übernahme international-zivilprozessrechtlicher Konzepte für das Erkenntnisverfahren den Besonderheiten des Zwangsvollstreckungsrechts nicht Rechnung trägt. Auf Basis einer Analyse der zuständigkeitsrechtlichen Interessen der Beteiligten entwickelt sie Perspektiven für eine interessengerechte Ausgestaltung der grenzüberschreitenden Zwangsvollstreckung in unkörperliches Vermögen.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Transnationales Recht: Stand und Perspektiven
Book SynopsisEine der zentralen Herausforderungen der heutigen Rechtswissenschaft besteht in der Suche nach Antworten auf die Frage, wie das Recht auf die Phänomene gesellschaftlicher Globalisierung eingestellt werden kann. Der Band versammelt Beiträge führender deutscher Experten, die sich mit der Theorie des transnationalen Rechts sowie mit konkreten Anwendungsfeldern wie dem Finanzmarktrecht, dem Arbeitsrecht, dem Strafrecht, dem Verwaltungsrecht, dem Europarecht und weiteren Bereichen jeweils mit Darstellung von disziplinären und interdisziplinären Bezügen auseinandersetzen. Er beruht auf Vorträgen, die in den Jahren 2012 und 2013 am Fachbereich Rechtswissenschaft der Universität Bremen im Rahmen der Ringvorlesung "Transnationalisierung des Rechts" gehalten wurden, die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Zentrum für transnationale Studien (ZenTra) ausgerichtet wurde. Die Referentinnen und Referenten haben dabei den aktuellen Stand der Forschung zum transnationalen Recht in ihrem jeweiligen Fachgebiet dargestellt und Entwicklungslinien nachgezeichnet. So ist ein Kompendium entstanden, das nicht nur den Blick auf den aktuellen Stand der deutschen Forschung zum transnationalen Recht eröffnet, sondern darüber hinaus auch eine Forschungsagenda für die nächsten Jahre und möglicherweise Jahrzehnte skizziert. Mit Beiträgen von: Jürgen Basedow, Gralf-Peter Calliess, Andreas Fischer-Lescano, Claudio Franzius, Friedhelm Hase, Nils Jansen, Florian Jeßberger, Lorenz Kähler, Johannes Köndgen, Martin Kment, Karl-Heinz Ladeur, Andreas Maurer, Stephan Meder, Ralf Michaels, Florian Möslein, Ulrich Mückenberger, Stefan Oeter, Moritz Renner, Myriam Senn, Gerald Spindler, Gunther Teubner, Christian Tietje, Lars Viellechner, Gerhard Wagner, Gerd Winter, Ingeborg Zerbes, Peer Zumbansen

Book SynopsisDie über 40 Unionsagenturen sind als Organisationsform in der EU nicht mehr wegzudenken.. Umso erstaunlicher ist, dass die Grundlagen ihres Einsatzbereichs bisher nicht zweifelsfrei geklärt sind. Dem versucht Andreas Orator abzuhelfen: Er erfasst systematisch die ad-hoc entwickelten Agenturen, konkretisiert die aus den rudimentären expliziten Vertragsbestimmungen folgenden Möglichkeiten und Grenzen ihrer Einrichtung und klärt die Bedeutung der Judikatur des EuGH von Meroni bis Leerverkäufe. Der Autor plädiert für und veranschaulicht ein weitgehend bewegliches System für deren Einsatz: Mit welchen Befugnissen lassen sich Agenturen ausstatten? Wie erfolgen demokratische Rückbindung und effektiver Rechtsschutz? Inwieweit lassen sich alternative Legitimationspotenziale nutzen? Gleichzeitig zeigt er auch jene Grenzen der Befugnisübertragung auf Unionsagenturen auf, die der derzeitige Vertragsrahmen vorgibt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Demokratische Friedenskonsolidierung: Zur
Book SynopsisWelche Bedeutung hat die Demokratie als Norm des Völkerrechts für das Konzept der Friedenskonsolidierung im System der Vereinten Nationen? Im Unterschied zur gängigen Perspektive, in der die Frage nach der Völkerrechtsnormativität der Demokratie zumeist mit der Zulässigkeit militärischer Interventionen oder nicht-militärischer Sanktionen verknüpft wird, geht es Ferry Bühring um die Konfliktnachsorge. In der Postkonfliktsituation steht das vom Konfliktgeschehen zerrüttete Gemeinwesen typischerweise vor der Herausforderung einer Neugestaltung seiner staatlichen Ordnung. In dieser Nachkonfliktphase kann "das" völkerrechtliche Demokratieprinzip handlungsleitende Wirkungen entfalten. Am Beispiel der UN-Operationen in Kambodscha und Osttimor wird die völkerrechtliche Praxis einer "demokatischen Friedenskonsolidierung" im Sinne eines (Wieder-) Aufbaus bzw. einer Stärkung langfristiger demokratischer Strukturen untersucht.

Der Frage, was sich hinter dem Begriff der Souveränität verbirgt, wie und warum die Souveränitätsidee zur Grundnorm der internationalen Beziehungen wurde, welche Veränderungen diese erfahren hat und welchen Chancen und Herausforderungen sich der Souveränitätsbegriff im 21. Jahrhundert gegenübersieht, widmeten sich Stipendiaten des Cusanuswerks im Rahmen einer juristischen Tagung, die im Herbst 2015 in Münster stattfand.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Sprachenrecht für die Europäische Union:
Book SynopsisDie Europäische Union ist eine Rechtsgemeinschaft von 500 Millionen Menschen, etabliert im Binnenmarkt durch das Europarecht. Dies hängt an Sprache und Übersetzung in 24 Vertrags- und Amtssprachen, die gleichermaßen als authentisch gelten. Sie befördern aber Rechtsgefälle zwischen Mitgliedstaaten und decken die rechtsgrundlose Dominanz des Englischen, beim Gerichtshof des Französischen (Monolingualismus). Rechtsstaatliche Ordnung schafft das Europäische Referenzsprachensystem: Ohne hegemoniale Verengung auf eine Sprache (Rechtswelt) oder die Ausschließlichkeit weniger Sprachen bildet es mit allen Vertragssprachen eine rechtslinguistische Kommunikationsbasis für ein klares Europarecht und Wohlstand. Demokratisch wahren zwei Referenzsprachen und die Amtssprachen der Mitgliedstaaten die muttersprachliche Lebenswirklichkeit der Bürger im Sinn des Subsidiaritätsprinzips. Damit gewinnen die Bürger und ihre Union eine rechtskräftige Stimme.

Er führt den Leser durch Geschichte und Gegenwart des organisierten Europa mit dem Ziel, die ideellen, politischen und rechtlichen Zusammenhänge kennenzulernen und zu verstehen.Frank Schorkopf hat seinen Text für die 3. Auflage grundlegend überarbeitet, das erste Kapitel erweitert, einen neuen Abschnitt über Grundrechte eingefügt und den Schluss neu gefasst.
