    Cambridge University Press The International Law on Foreign Investment

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe climate surrounding foreign investment law is one of controversy and change, and with implications for human rights and environmental protection, foreign investment law has gained widespread public attention and visibility. This fully updated edition of Sornarajah''s classic text offers thought-provoking analysis of the law in historical, political and economic contexts, capturing leading trends and charting the possible course of future developments. It takes into account the newer types of treaties that establish a regulatory space for states and moves away from inflexible investment protection, exploring the newly created defences relating to environment, human rights, indigenous rights and other areas ending the fragmentation of the law. It looks at the current debates on legitimacy of the system and current efforts at reform. Suitable for postgraduate and undergraduate students, The International Law on Foreign Investment is essential reading for anyone specialising in the law of foreign investments.Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. The shaping factors; 3. Controls by the host state; 4. The liability of multinational corporations and home state measures; 5. Bilateral investment treaties; 6.

  • Ending Income Inequality

    Cambridge University Press Ending Income Inequality

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIncome inequality in America has been on the rise for decades, but policy and legal thought has yet to catch up. Both parties in the United States have been hesitant to intervene in the market to address this problem, while the income tax system has been touted as a better and more efficient way to tackle income inequality. However, the tax system itself has failed to keep pace with the widening gaps in income. Ending Income Inequality challenges arguments made by legal scholars in the field of law and economics, who have supported the tax system over redistributive legal rules. By examining specific areas of the law such as minimum wage, collective bargaining, antitrust law, intellectual property, and housing regulation, the book argues that using legal rules, in addition to income taxes, is a promising path to reverse rising inequality.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book explores cutting-edge areas of new Asian regionalism in international economic law. It provides a guide for policy-makers, business and legal professionals to understand the new dynamics of trade and investment agreements in the Asia-Pacific.Trade Review'This ground-breaking work by a leading scholar in the field of international economic law provides a critical account of new Asian regionalism. Pasha L. Hsieh persuasively takes on the ambitious task of writing a comprehensive book on the increasingly important role of developing countries in shaping international trade norms. This book will surely prove to soon become an indispensable reference for practitioners and scholars in international law and international relations.' Julien Chaisse, Professor, City University of Hong Kong & President, Asia-Pacific FDI Network'Pasha L. Hsieh has written a remarkable book that should well serve all who wish to understand the increasing importance of Asian economies and political systems for international relations, rivalries and cooperation. It is comprehensive, analytical, theoretical and yet practical. It is also full of interesting, updated details, but nevertheless highly readable.' Jerome A. Cohen, Founding Faculty Director Emeritus, US-Asia Law Institute, New York University; Adjunct Senior Fellow for Asia, Council on Foreign Relations'The conclusion of the RCEP heralds the emergence of Asia as a new center of the global trading order. This book provides a unique lens through which to view how new Asian regionalism led by ASEAN has transformed international economic law. Pasha L. Hsieh's extensive research successfully fills a gap in the existing literature on regionalism by combining legal and political perspectives.' Yuka Fukunaga, Professor, Waseda University'This is an excellent and very timely contribution on an important area of international economic law. The book by Pasha L. Hsieh comes at a particularly opportune time with the rise of regionalism. It provides a clear, comprehensive, and well-researched analysis of regional trade integration law and policy in Asia. It combines theoretical analysis with a clear exposition of the law and will be of great use both to international trade lawyers and academics at large.' Rafael Leal-Arcas, Jean Monnet Chair Professor, Queen Mary University of London'In this compelling monograph, Pasha L. Hsieh convincingly builds upon his previous work theorizing a New Regional Economic Order (NREO) and applying his NREO theory to explain the emergence and importance of new Asian regionalism. Hsieh draws upon his advanced training in law and political science to engage with both legal and international relations literatures, filling in important lacunae in the scholarship of each discipline. This ambitious work is a must-read for any serious scholar of international economic integration in the Asia-Pacific.' Meredith Kolsky Lewis, Professor and Vice Dean, University at Buffalo School of Law, The State University of New YorkTable of Contents1. Introduction: New Asian regionalism as a global paradigm shift; 2. The legalization of the ASEAN economic community; 3. Signing the RCEP as a milestone; 4.

    Book SynopsisA criminal prosecutor discusses the illegal drug trade and the failure of the so-called War on Drugs to stop it.In 1971, President Richard Nixon coined the term War on Drugs. His campaign to eradicate illegal drug use was picked up by the media and championed by succeeding presidents, including Reagan. Canada was a willing ally in this war, and is currently cracking down on drug offences at a time when even the U.S. is beginning to climb down from its reliance on incarceration. Elsewhere in the world, there has been a sea change. The Global Commission on Drug Policy, including international luminaries like Kofi Annan, declared that the War on Drugs has not, and cannot, be won. Former heads of state and drug warriors have come out in favour of this perspective. Former presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton agree with legions of public health officials, scientists, politicians, and police officers that a new approach is essential.Paula Mallea, in T

  • Since the Boom

    University of Toronto Press Since the Boom

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe 1970s are of particular relevance for understanding the socio-economic changes still shaping Western societies today. The collapse of traditional manufacturing industries like coal and steel, shipbuilding, and printing, as well as the rise of the service sector, contributed to a notable sense of decline and radical transformation. Building on the seminal work of Lutz Raphael and Anselm Doering-Manteuffel, Nach dem Boom, which identified a social transformation of revolutionary quality that ushered in digital financial capitalism, this volume features a series of essays that reconsider the idea of a structural break in the 1970s. Contributors draw on case studies from France, the Netherlands, the UK, the US, and Germany to examine the validity of the after the boom hypothesis. Since the Boom attempts to bridge the gap between the English and highly productive German debates on the 1970s.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Introduction Sebastian Voigt Section One: Ambiguities 1.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has stirred passions like no other trade negotiation in recent history. Its supporters maintain that TTIP will produce spectacular growth and job creation; claims that are wholeheartedly rejected by its critics, who regard TTIP as a direct assault on workers' rights, health and safety standards and public services. In this incisive analysis, Gabriel Siles-Brugge and Ferdi de Ville scrutinize the claims made by TTIP's cheerleaders and scaremongers to reveal a far more nuanced picture behind the headlines. TTIP will not provide an economic 'cure-all', nor will it destroy the European welfare state in one fell swoop. Thanks to unprecedented levels of protest and debate around TTIP, however, neoliberal trade negotiations are well and truly back in the spotlight. In this respect, TTIP could well prove to be a 'game-changer' - just not in the way imagined by its backers.Trade Review"This essential study should be read by anyone who cares about democracy and the sovereignty of parliaments. If you care, you should understand, and there is no better means of understanding than reading this book." George Monbiot "De Ville and Siles-Brügge�s book is a part of this burgeoning movement for change and a model of what popular explanation of complex economic and political issues should be: Clear, concise, cogent, even handed, and a call to action." Irish Examiner "This in-depth, systematic and sober analysis – deprived of any polemics – brilliantly demystifies the mega-trade deal. It is by far the most advanced piece of political economic thinking on TTIP to date." Pierre Defraigne, Executive Director, College of Europe Foundation "The TTIP has been hailed as Europe�s growth strategy out of the economic crisis. The critics meanwhile deride it as a job-killing machine that will serve the interests only of US multinationals. This useful and informative book brings the debate down to earth. While underlining the huge uncertainty that exists over likely outcomes, it shows that both sides overstate their case. It concludes that the treaty�s main impact will be to reinforce an existing trend whereby trade goals are increasingly narrowing the space for the articulation of domestic rules and regulations." Dani Rodrik, Harvard University "This convincingly argued and highly readable book is a much-needed intervention in the heated debate on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the EU and the USA. It is a must-read for all those trying to understand what is at stake in this free trade agreement which has sparked such controversy on both sides of the Atlantic." Brigitte Young, University of Münster "A balanced and informative account of the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and its implications for the economy and society. This book will be a valuable resource for anyone trying to assess the TTIP with open eyes."

George Monbiot "De Ville and Siles-Brügge�s book is a part of this burgeoning movement for change and a model of what popular explanation of complex economic and political issues should be: Clear, concise, cogent, even handed, and a call to action." Irish Examiner "This in-depth, systematic and sober analysis – deprived of any polemics – brilliantly demystifies the mega-trade deal. It is by far the most advanced piece of political economic thinking on TTIP to date." Pierre Defraigne, Executive Director, College of Europe Foundation "The TTIP has been hailed as Europe�s growth strategy out of the economic crisis. The critics meanwhile deride it as a job-killing machine that will serve the interests only of US multinationals. This useful and informative book brings the debate down to earth. While underlining the huge uncertainty that exists over likely outcomes, it shows that both sides overstate their case. It concludes that the treaty�s main impact will be to reinforce an existing trend whereby trade goals are increasingly narrowing the space for the articulation of domestic rules and regulations." Dani Rodrik, Harvard University "This convincingly argued and highly readable book is a much-needed intervention in the heated debate on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the EU and the USA. It is a must-read for all those trying to understand what is at stake in this free trade agreement which has sparked such controversy on both sides of the Atlantic." Brigitte Young, University of Münster "A balanced and informative account of the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and its implications for the economy and society. This book will be a valuable resource for anyone trying to assess the TTIP with open eyes."

  • The Arrest Conventions: International Enforcement of Maritime Claims

    Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Arrest Conventions: International Enforcement of Maritime Claims

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThe Arrest Conventions, signed in 1952 and 1999, play a fundamental role in the worldwide enforcement of maritime claims. Arrest of ships is one of the most distinctive features of international maritime law. It provides a powerful, efficient and effective means of enforcing maritime claims in rem, obtaining sufficient asset security and preserving property pending substantive proceedings. Ship arrest is, however, also a draconian power that cuts across property rights and can cause considerable commercial harm to shipowning interests. This book provides thematic and comparative analysis from leading international commentators on the most significant legal and policy issues, including practical problems arising from the Arrest Convention texts, as well as the direct implementation or indirect ‘translation’ of the Arrest Conventions into domestic legal systems. It critically analyses the political and historical development of the Conventions, explores the key concepts underpinning the Arrest Convention frameworks and considers the future of ship arrest.Trade Review[T]his book is a welcome and valuable addition to the few texts which must always be consulted when an issue relating to ship arrest falls to be argued and resolved ... From my perspective as judge of Admiralty matters, I am sure that as and when issues concerning the right to arrest arise for decision, this book will not only be an essential reference point but will also be a source of valuable ideas as to the desired direction of travel. -- Mr Justice Teare * Journal of International Maritime Law *There is something here for everybody; moreover, the arguments advanced are overwhelmingly of a uniformly high standard, carefully constructed and well-expressed ... In short, this is an extremely worthwhile book. It is thoroughly recommended to any shipping lawyer, especially a parochial English one, who wishes to broaden their knowledge while sharing a highly enjoyable read, and to any comparative lawyer wishing to expand their knowledge of an otherwise esoteric branch of the law. Buy it while you can. Then tell your library to do likewise. -- Andrew Tettenborn, Swansea University * Cambridge Law Journal *Table of Contents1.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis book is the first book-length analysis of investor accountability under general and customary international law, international human rights law, international environmental law, international humanitarian law, as well as international investment law. International investment law is currently facing growing criticisms for its failure to address corruption, abuse, environmental damage, and other forms of investor misconduct. Reform initiatives range from the rejection of international law as a governing regime for investors, to the dramatic overhaul of investment treaties that supposedly enable investor overprotection, to the creation of a multilateral international instrument that would enable the litigation of claims against errant businesses before an international tribunal. Whether these initiatives succeed in disciplining investors remains to be seen. What these initiatives undeniably show however, is that change is warranted to counteract this lopsided investors’ international law. Each chapter in the book addresses a different and underexplored dimension of investor accountability, thus offering a novel and consolidated study of international law. The book will be of immense assistance to legal practitioners, academics and policy makers involved in the design, drafting, application and reform of various international instruments addressing investor accountability.Table of ContentsSummary of Contents Introduction Jean Ho (National University of Singapore) and Mavluda Sattorova (University of Liverpool, UK) 1.

  • Flexible Regional Economic Integration in Africa:

    Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Flexible Regional Economic Integration in Africa:

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis book examines the relationship between flexible regional economic integration in the East African Community (EAC), through its application of variable geometry, and the establishment of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) as a continent-wide form of integration. It uses a historical, political, legal and economic analysis of the processes that led to the adoption of flexible regional integration in Africa, with particular regard to the EAC. This takes place in the inescapable context of pan-Africanism, showing how regional integration efforts in Africa are based on pan-Africanist ideals, and how an evolution of these ideals has led to an evolution in the goals of integration. With growing awareness of the weaknesses and impracticality of consensus-based decision-making on a global level, it makes the case for the pursuit of flexibility in multilateral trade, drawing lessons from the experience of the AfCFTA and blocs in other regions. This book is a historical evaluation of regional economic integration efforts in Africa and it follows the path of attempts to integrate the economies on the continent from colonial times to the birth of the AfCFTA. While it is a study in law, it relies heavily on politics, economics and history to weave together a more complete theory of economic integration based on the African experience. Flexible Regional Economic Integration in Africa was awarded the 2020 SIEL–Hart Prize in International Economic Law.Table of Contents1. Introduction I. The East African Community (EAC) II.

The reviewer is tempted to extend this list to include commercial parties such as the importers and exporters as the writing is clear, concise and direct, contract clauses and practitioner tips sections are provided, and finally because the book provides illustrations to which they can relate." European Review of Private Law 2017 (of the 1st edition) Almost 5 years have passed since the first edition of this popular work was published. Much relevant case law and legal literature have since been published which requires treatment. Furthermore, several hard and soft laws relevant to the book have under­gone important changes: the enactment of the new Chinese Civil Code, the French Civil Code following extensive reforms in in 2016, the UNI­DROIT Principles now apply as amended in 2016, and the INCOTERMS 2020 replace the former INCOTERMS 2010.

    Book SynopsisThis open access book examines how international trade agreements apply to domestic regulations on cross-border data flows and then proposes a multilayered framework to align international trade law with evolving norms and practices in global data governance.Digital trade and global data governance are at a unique crossroads, raising significant policy challenges. The book focuses on five policy areas at the interface of digital trade and global data governance: privacy, cybersecurity, governmental access to data, data divide, and competition. In five separate chapters, the book analyses how different types of domestic laws in each of these policy areas interface with existing provisions in international trade law. Thereafter, each of these chapters explores the challenges and possibilities for aligning international trade law with evolving norms, standards and best practices in that specific area of data regulation, both at the domestic and transnational level.Drawing upon these findings, the final chapter proposes a multilayered framework for aligning international trade law with evolving norms and practices in global data governance. The key message of the book is that international trade law can and should meaningfully align with and contribute to the development of transnational data governance norms and practices. It can also foster robust regulatory cooperation among various stakeholders of the digital economy.As the book offers a broad perspective on the significance of digital trade rules in a datafied world, it will benefit scholars, practitioners and policymakers working on digital trade and data regulation, helping its readers explore fresh avenues in the future development of digital trade rules.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

    Book SynopsisThis open access book hinges on 3 broad but interlinked elements: sustainable development as a concept, sustainable development in the Global South, and implementation challenges.The advent of the Sustainable Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda have contributed to the deepening of the concept of sustainable development within global and national policy schemes. The fact that sustainable development is crucial for our very survival is no longer a contested issue; rather, the key concern now is how this can be achieved equitably by reconciling competing priorities and concerns of the Global South and the Global North. While the Global South countries are eager to adopt and integrate the 2030 Agenda in their respective policy frameworks, local contexts are often at odds with the global model of sustainable development.The book examines national capacities and institutional arrangements in countries in the Global South. It considers the challenges of integrating sustainable development in national policy frameworks. This includes the role, interactions, and inter-dependence of different branches of international law in, inter alia, protecting human rights, promoting access to justice, ensuring environmental justice, guaranteeing social protection, and safeguarding the rule of law for sustainable societies. This book explores the emerging patterns and processes of development projects that have either succeeded or failed, critical reflections on what has been achieved and whose interests the projects served, and the costs and benefits of particular interventions.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

    Book SynopsisThis open access book unveils Hong Kong's pivotal role in the realm of international economic law. Unique to this book is its focus on the interplay between Hong Kong's historical roots and institutional contexts, integrated into its exploration of unilateral, bilateral, and multilateral economic approaches. What sets this book apart is its in-depth treatment of Hong Kong's distinct position as China's Special Administrative Region. It showcases the balance the territory maintains: the autonomy it enjoys, its own robust legal and economic systems, all while being intertwined with broader global interests. Hong Kong's position as China's economic gateway, coupled with its adaptability amidst technological evolutions and international tensions, positions it uniquely in the global economic arena. With the Asia-Pacific economy's rapid evolution and the Greater Bay Area's development, Hong Kong's role is illuminated as increasingly pivotal. This book exposes challenges confronting Hong Kong, from political changes to the ramifications of the National Security Law, while emphasising its continued relevance and growing influence. As Hong Kong threads its path in a globalised world, its prowess in international economic law remains a cornerstone of its identity. Will the territory sustain its prominence amidst evolving challenges and global shifts? The answers lie within, and further research awaits as we track its unfolding narrative. Specifically tailored for academics, diplomats, and researchers in international law, relations, economics and finance, this book offers a vital perspective. Anyone with a vested interest in international economic law and policy will find this comprehensive exploration invaluable. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

    Book SynopsisLatin America–European Union relations in the twenty-first century provides a valuable overview of transatlantic trade agreement negotiations and developments in the first decades of the twenty-first century. This edited collection examines key motivations behind trade agreements, traces the evolution of negotiations and explores some of the initial impacts of new generation trade agreements with the EU on South American countries. The book makes an important contribution to our understanding of relations between these regions by contextualising relations and trade agendas, both in terms of domestic political and economic policies and broader global trends. It demonstrates the importance of a shift toward mega-regional trade agreements in the 2010s, particularly under the Obama administration in the United States, in shaping South American and European agendas for trade agreement negotiations and their outcomes.Detailed case studies in the book investigate EU relations and negotiations with countries that have successfully negotiated new generation trade agreements with the EU: Mercosur, the Andean states, Chile and Mexico. Other contributions offer a wider overview of EU-Latin American relations, including parliamentary and civil society relations. The net result is a balanced analysis of contemporary EU relations with South America, useful for students and scholars of foreign policy and political economy in both regions.Table of ContentsIntroduction – Arantza Gomez Arana and Maria Garcia1 Latin America and European Union relations in an interdependent world going through “deglobalisation” – Arantza Gomez Arana2 The European Union and Latin America trade relations in an unpredictable time: A relationship beyond trade: political dialogues between unequal partners – Susanne Gratius3 Interlinkages in EU-Andean community trade negotiations – Daniel Schade4 The EU-Peru/Colombia Trade Agreement: Balancing, accommodation, or driver of change? – María J.

    Book SynopsisIn an international geopolitical panorama where Northern countries are increasingly in crisis and where the most interesting alternatives to sustainable development are coming from the South, the Latin American small producers, represented by the Latin American and Caribbean Network of Small Fair Trade Producers (CLAC), are assuming a more protagonistic role in the defense of the founding principles of the fair trade movement. The CLAC is also leading a process of rethinking the fair trade system and launching concrete proposals to strengthen fair trade in local, national and regional areas. Through the direct testimonies of many of its protagonists, Coscione offers a unique portrayal of the CLAC - its past experiences, its present developments and, above all, its outlook and future challenges.Table of ContentsAcronyms and Abbreviations Preface An Important Introductory Remark Introduction: A Movement in Constant Motion Water, Land and Agribusiness in Latin America Origins of Fairtrade Certification Overview of Fairtrade in Latin America CLAC and Its Network in the Continent CLAC and the FLO System FairTrade USA and Its Split from the FLO System The Reality of the Small Producer FUN DEPPO and the Small Producers' Symbol Southern Political Advocacy for Fair Trade National Markets and South-South Fair Trade Food Sovereignty and Product Diversification Women Producers and Gender Equity The Adaptation of Smallholder Agriculture to Climate Change Future Challenges Bibliography

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisOn 31 July 2003, the Senate and, on July 24, the House passed H.R.2739 (United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act) which is to implement the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The FTA would, with a phase-in period, eliminate tariffs on all goods traded between the United States and Singapore, cover trade in services, and protect intellectual property rights. The agreement has received support from the business community and consumer organisations but has been criticised by labour and some environmental interests. Some of the specific concerns raised deal with the restrictions on penalties for unresolvable disputes over labour and environmental issues, the Integrated Sourcing Initiative, potential capital controls, temporary visas, and access for U.S. exports of chewing gum. Since Singapore is a relatively small economy, the economic effects of the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, by themselves, are not likely to be great. The debate over implementation of the FTA is falling between business and free trade interests who would benefit from more liberalised trade, particularly in services, and labour or anti-globalisation interests who oppose more FTA''s because of the overall impact of imports on jobs and the general effects of globalisation on income distribution, certain jobs, and the environment. Specific provisions of the agreement also have generated debate. This book discusses the problems and issues that the Free Trade Agreement has brought up.

    Book SynopsisThis book makes an intensive review of the literature on trade liberalisation and its impacts on growth and distribution in developing countries. Moreover, the authors scrutinise some controversial national initiatives that are gradually fragmenting the international economic field. The urgent need that multilateral institutions have to push trade higher up in the list of the political priorities is emphasised. In addition, the biggest producers and exporters of agricultural products have been adopting the genetic engineering in order to improve the factors productivity and the firms profits. The authors examine the potential motivations behind the different policies on GM products adopted by US and EU. Additionally, the welfare effect of bilateral free trade agreement (FTA) in a vertical trade structure is investigated in this book. A three-country model is considered with one country exporting intermediate good and two countries exporting final good. Other chapters explore the major theories of international trade from antiquity up to the neo-classical economics in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Effective trade policies for developed countries today are also discussed, as well as international trade, both exports and imports, in countries such as India and China. It is the authors contention that these two countries pose particular challenges and offer particular opportunities in the evolving trade-development nexuses.
