Cambridge University Press A History of Humanitarian Intervention
Book SynopsisThe question of ''humanitarian intervention'' has been a staple of international law for around 200 years, with a renewed interest in the history of the subject emerging in the last twenty years. This book provides a chronological account of the evolution of the discussion and uncovers the fictional narrative provided by international lawyers to support their conclusions on the subject, from justifications and arguments for ''humanitarian intervention'', the misrepresentation of great power involvement in the Greek War of Independence in 1827, to the ''humanitarian intervention that never was'', India''s war with Pakistan in 1971. Relying on a variety of sources, some of them made available in English for the first time, the book provides an undogmatic, alternative history of the fight for the protection of human rights in international law.Trade Review'A masterpiece of intellectual history. In his provocative and insightful reconstruction of the doctrine and practice of humanitarian intervention, Mark Swatek-Evenstein transcends boldly and elegantly the boundaries between law, history and politics, and examines the narrative foundations of one of the most controversial issues in international law. This important book challenges conventional accounts of the international legal order, its past and present.' Alexandra Kemmerer, Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law'Do we have to watch passively dictators slaying their population, respecting the sovereignty of this state, or do we have an obligation to intervene for moral or even legal reasons? Drawing on a rich array of sources in several languages, Swatek-Evenstein analyzes the emergence of a legal discourse of 'humanitarian intervention'. By pointing to the constructed nature of the doctrine that developed out of this discourse, the book offers a fresh perspective on the legal and political debates surrounding cross-border military interventions undertaken in the name of human rights. This is an indispensable work for scholars and students of international law, global history, genocide studies, and human rights that challenges assumptions about international responses to national crises.' Mathias Schmoeckel, Executive Director of the Institute of German and Rhenish Legal History and Civil Law, University of Bonn'The legitimacy and legality of humanitarian interventions still pose considerable controversy in international law. By offering us an in-depth analysis of the history of humanitarian interventions and their respective justifications, the author provides many instructive insights into what is at stake when we talk about international law, its use and its misuse. This book is a very worthwhile read.' Gerd Hankel, Hamburg Foundation for the Advancement of Research and Culture'A complete intellectual history of humanitarian intervention requires more than the reconstruction of international legal doctrines. An exacting account would historicize the notion of 'the humanitarian', and examine how and why it is mobilized by politicians and justified by international lawyers to legitimise invasions of other countries. Mark Swatek-Evenstein's brilliant A History of Humanitarian Intervention casts an unsentimental eye on this controversial and all-too-current topic to explain what we are doing when we invoke humanity and mass atrocity in international law and relations.' A. Dirk Moses, University of Sydney'This is the product of an extremely sophisticated academic exercise not only about the history of humanitarian intervention but also about its development parallel to the development of an international legal framework. Although the book is written by a legal scholar, his interdisciplinary research method and analysis reflect an academic outcome that serves the purposes of the current multilayer scholarly environment. This book should be an indispensable reference for legal historians, international lawyers, experts in international relations and everyone who is interested in the overlap between law, politics and history. Swatek-Evenstein's lucid scholarship sheds light into pertinent legal developments in the field of humanitarian intervention and for this reason this is a book of great importance and relevance.' Maria Varaki, King's College London'A thoughtfully argued, rigorously researched, and lucidly written account of the emergence of 'humanitarian intervention' in modern history and international law. Swatek-Evenstein combines pithy case-studies of interventions over the past two centuries with a highly nuanced reading of the legal and political debates surrounding this enduringly controversial concept.' Adam Jones, University of British Columbia'It is true that that the literature on humanitarian intervention is voluminous, but this book nonetheless adds a new dimension to it through the novel focus it adopts. […] It will provide fresh, challenging insights for any student of humanitarian intervention specifically, but international law more generally.' Liverpool Law Review'It will provide fresh, challenging insights for any student of humanitarian intervention specifically, but international law more generally.' Gary Wilson, Liverpool Law ReviewTable of Contents1. The battlegrounds of a history of 'humanitarian intervention'; 2. A history of 'humanitarian intervention' in nineteenth-century international law; 3. Humanitarian intervention in the era of the league of nations; 4. The world after 1945.

Cambridge University Press The Doctrine of Odious Debt in International Law
Book SynopsisBreaking with widespread scepticism, King comprehensively restates the doctrine of odious debt and uses contemporary international and domestic law to redefine the doctrine in a way suitable for judicial application. This groundbreaking book is essential reading for practising lawyers, scholars, and development and human rights workers.Trade Review'The Doctrine of Odious Debt in International Law: A Restatement is both substantively compelling and methodologically adventurous and, what is more, is published at a timely moment. In recent years, both the UN General Assembly and UNCTAD have attempted to re-organize the law and practice around sovereign debt relief. In this broader setting, King's monograph adds considerable clarity to an important aspect of the vexing issue of sovereign debts and their treatment in international law.'

Cambridge University Press The International Law of Energy
Book SynopsisThe world''s energy structure underpins the global environmental crisis and changing it will require regulatory change at a massive level.

The study combines conceptual and doctrinal analysis of all the main rules, processes and institutions to consider the past, present and likely future of global energy governance.

Cambridge University Press Rule of Law Intermediaries
Book SynopsisDuring Myanmar's political opening, intermediaries played a key role in the field of rule of law development.This book brings to light these neglected players, focusing on who they are, the influence they have, their double agency, their challenges and their crucial importance for rule of law progress.Trade Review'Rule of Law Intermediaries offers a rich account of the complex arrangements that comprise rule of law assistance. Simion's engaging analysis sheds new light on the influence of intermediaries in Myanmar, and the networks they navigate. With its descriptive prose and ethnographic depth, Rule of Law Intermediaries provides a vivid illustration of transnational law in action, and makes an important contribution to the study of development, law and society.' Kathryn Henne, Director, School of Regulation and Global Governance (RegNet), The Australian National University'With nuance and refined analysis, Rule of Law Intermediaries skilfully champions a necessary shift in orientations to the globalisation of law – from naïve expectations about the power of international agents to the actualities of influence wielded by creative local actors. By shifting focus from international expertises to the singular knowledges and practices of intermediaries, this book compels scholars and policymakers alike to grapple more seriously with the dynamic mediating processes that moderate international hubris and legal change.' Terence Halliday, American Bar Foundation, and co-author of Global Lawmakers: International Organizations in the Crafting of World Markets'Rule of Law Intermediaries is a rich and readable scholarly gem. There is no book like it. In addition to original and compelling insights into the burgeoning rule of law industry and its actors, it also adds a fresh perspective to the literature on legal globalisation and to the study of the politics of law in Myanmar.' Bryant G.

Cambridge University Press The Law of Good People
Book SynopsisThis book argues that existing enforcement strategies are not suitable for addressing the wrongdoing of 'good people' who are not fully aware of their misconduct. The book connects the theoretical puzzles raised by behavioral ethics to the vast literature on instrument choice and the various tools that policymakers can adopt to modify behavior.Trade Review'A fascinating, comprehensive exploration of the complexities of human motivations – and of how to get good people to do really good things. Opens up new vistas in behavioral science, and also in public policy. Highly recommended.' Cass R. Sunstein, Harvard University, Massachusetts'More than 40 years ago, economics revolutionized legal theory by analyzing the incentive effects of laws on people who are rationally self-interested. In recent years, cognitive psychology revolutionized law and economics by showing how legal incentives affect real people who are psychological, not purely rational. In The Law of Good People, Yuval Feldman provides a fresh perspective on laws aimed at motivating good people, as opposed to just deterring bad people. His creativity and knowledge of law, economics, and psychology will make readers rethink the incentive effects of laws and current theories of law and economics.' Robert Cooter, University of California, Berkeley School of Law'In the mid-twentieth century, Hannah Arendt was criticized for speaking about the banality of evil in describing Adolf Eichmann, and even today Stanley Milgram's experiments showing the ease of ordering people to harm others is difficult to comprehend. Since then, psychological evidence has accumulated, revealing the undeniable daily harms that emerge from the unintended actions of 'good' people. In this excellent book, Yuval Feldman brings all the best research to those interested in imagining the good society. He admirably polishes the grimy results of behavioral science experiments until they shine with solutions for political and legal reform. It is rare to see a scholar write with the broad sweep Feldman does, and even rarer to have one so effectively persuade that central concepts in the law - property, conflict of interest, discrimination - cannot remain in their present form if only we would confront the evidence already before us.' Mahzarin R. Banaji, Harvard University, Massachusetts'Should the law target the infamous Mr Hyde? No, says Yuval Feldman, who demonstrates why most individuals are not hard-nosed Mr Hydes. In fact, the law should be much more concerned with Dr Jekyll, who could turn into Mr Hyde at all times, but who will nevertheless convince himself that he remains the good-natured Dr Jekyll. In short, motivational plasticity, as Feldman explains, is a much bigger normative problem than merely being a 'bad person' in the first place. This book not only alerts legal academia to this idea, but also carefully discusses the implications for legal analysis and design.' Christoph Engel, Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods'This book is the first to introduce the large and heterogeneous body of work on behavioral ethics to the world of law and legal policy. Drawing in part on the author's own pioneering experimental work, the book moves beyond the reigning enforcement-based approach with its focus on cognition and deliberation, and takes greater account of complex motivations, especially of people with a self-conception as being a good person. Feldman provides an important first installment on evaluating law and related interventions in the light of this promising new paradigm.' Henry Smith, Harvard Law School, Massachusetts'Weaving in disparate threads of economics and psychology, Professor Feldman delivers an exciting new approach to our understanding of ethical behavior. The implications of this work will influence our understanding of how to regulate good and evil for many years to come.' Jeffrey Rachlinski, Cornell Law School, New York'By bridging the gap between new findings of behavioral ethics and traditional methods used to modify behavior, Professor Feldman proposes a 'law of good people' that should be read by scholars and policymakers around the world. A work of simply brilliant scholarship, The Law of Good People is a fully engaging, thought-provoking, informed and informative study that is unreservedly recommended for community and academic library Political Science, Judicial, and Contemporary Sociology collections and supplemental studies lists.' Library Bookwatch'In The Law of Good People: Challenging States' Ability to Regulate Human Behavior, Feldman's goal is to 'create a new branch of scholarship that focuses on the rule of law in a world populated by individuals with different levels of awareness of their own unethicality'. … The Law of Good People is a foundational work and as such it is a springboard rather than an ending. Feldman points to a host of thought-provoking questions in need of further research and deliberations, such as, 'How blind is a blind spot from a legal perspective of responsibility?' and 'Can we know ex ante in what mode of reasoning people will be when making a decision about the law?'. Many young scholars, and quite a few older ones, will find this book highly stimulating, inviting new thinking, and new lines of research as well as legal policy.' Amitay Ezioni, Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies'Feldman is rightly worried about the methodological limitations of behavioural ethics, and he is also right that there is nowhere near enough work to be confident about the underlying mechanisms behind these problems and the solutions to them. Many studies are small and experimental. Quirkiness is fun, but magic circle firms are not about to start building difficult-decisions suites stuffed with cuddly toys. Yet in these limitations is the central challenge: can ecologically realistic, methodologically robust, replicated studies develop our understanding of behavioural ethics further? Feldman and his collaborator's own studies are a rich resource here. Can regulators, or even lawyers and compliance managers, be encouraged to experiment with behavioural interventions? After all, lawyers need to be interested in both how rules work and how people behave ethically if they are to do their job effectively. Feldman's book shows us how important this could be.' Richard Moorhead, The Journal of Things We Like (Lots)'… Yuval Feldman [has] convincingly developed an illustrative access to the topic of regulation which can [be] characterized as pioneering since it breaks up [ingrained] concepts but offers new insights based on behavioral aspects in an intelligible manner. Thus, the book 'The Law of Good People' offers a solid foundation to [recalibrate] the concepts of regulation which makes it indispensable for any well-selected library.' Armin Kammel, translated from Österreichisches BankArchiv'The Law of Good People provides a comprehensive summary of an important body of research on Behavioral Ethics … will serve as a useful resource for legal scholars, lawyers, policymakers, and social scientists interested in law and legal institutions.'

Cambridge University Press Politics and International Law
Book SynopsisInternational law shapes nearly every aspect of our lives. It affects the food we eat, the products we buy, the rights we hold, and the wars we fight. Yet international law is often believed to be the exclusive domain of well-heeled professionals with years of legal training. This text uses clear, accessible writing and contemporary political examples to explain where international law comes from, how actors decide whether to follow international law, and how international law is upheld using legal and political tools. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, this book is accessible to a wide audience and is written for anyone who wants to understand how global rules shape and transform international politics. Each chapter is framed by a case study that examines a current political issue, such as the bombing of Yemen or the use of chemical weapons in Syria, encouraging students to draw connections between theoretical concepts and real-world situations. The chapters are modularTrade Review'This excellent book ties together an impressive array of material from law and political science in an accessible way.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Kollektive Nichtanerkennung illegaler Staaten:
Book SynopsisMehr als 100 Jahre war die Debatte über die Wirkung der Anerkennung von Staaten geprägt von der Auseinandersetzung zwischen der deklaratorischen und der konstitutiven Theorie. Am Beispiel der international nicht anerkannten Türkischen Republik Nord-Zypern zeigt Stefan Talmon, daß keine der beiden Theorien die Nichtanerkennung von Wirkungseinheiten erklären kann, die die Staatskriterien erfüllen, aber unter Verstoß gegen das Völkerrecht entstanden sind. Der Nichtanerkennung eines bestehenden Staates kommt weder statusverhindernde noch statusbestätigende, sondern statusverneinende, d.h. negatorische Wirkung zu. Bei der kollektiven Nichtanerkennung handelt es sich um eine von der Staatengemeinschaft seit den 30er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts eingesetzte Sanktion gegen schwerwiegende, die wesentlichen Interessen der Staatengemeinschaft als Ganzes verletzende Völkerrechtsverstöße. Bei der vom Völkerbund bzw. von den Vereinten Nationen koordinierten Nichtanerkennung werden dem 'illegalen Staat' nicht nur die optionalen zwischenstaatlichen Beziehungen und die sich der daraus ergebenden Rechte und Privilegien, sondern auch die zwingenden Grundrechte eines Staates (d.h. alle aus der Staatsqualität resultierenden Rechte, Kompetenzen und Privilegien) vorenthalten.

Utz Schliesky zeichnet die Entwicklung dieser Zentralbegriffe der Staatslehre und des Staatsrechts seit dem Mittelalter nach und überprüft, inwieweit ihre heutige Fassung geeignet ist, den Herausforderungen durch die europäische Integration und auch durch innerstaatliche Entwicklungen zu genügen. Die in Zeiten des staatsrechtlichen Positivismus und einer anderen Verfassungsordnung am Vorbild des modernen Nationalstaates entwickelten Konzepte für Souveränität und Legitimität sind weder europatauglich noch können sie vielfältige Verzahnungen zwischen Herrschaftsträgern und Gesellschaft erklären. Aus Sicht der überkommenen Konzeptionen der Staats(rechts)lehre lassen sich insoweit nur "Auflösungserscheinungen" konstatieren. Um der pluralistischen Struktur der Herrschaftsgewalten und der Legitimationssubjekte gerecht werden zu können, ist eine Weiterentwicklung der Begriffe "Souveränität" und "Legitimität" erforderlich. Auf der Grundlage der historischen Entwicklung und der praktischen Herausforderungen an Staatslehre und Staatsrecht entwirft Utz Schliesky ein System gemeinsamer Souveränität der im europäischen Mehrebenensystem existenten Herrschaftsgewalten sowie ein normatives Konzept pluraler demokratischer Legitimation.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Compliance in High Profile-Fällen der WTO: Legal
Book SynopsisDas WTO-Streitbeilegungsverfahren zeichnet sich durch insgesamt hohe Befolgungszahlen aus. Bei den Mitgliedstaaten herrscht deshalb große Zufriedenheit. Dies gilt jedoch nicht für die so genannten High Profile-Fälle, wozu insbesondere der Airbus-Boeing-Streit zählt. Nils Kaienburg untersucht diesen bis heute größten und komplexesten Fall seit Bestehen der WTO und zeigt exemplarisch Möglichkeiten auf, wie derartig konfliktgeladene Fälle über ein verbessertes Streitbeilegungsverfahren gehandhabt werden können. Dazu dient das im vorliegenden Buch entwickelte Konzept des Legal Case Managements, das in erster Linie ein optimiertes Mediationsverfahren beinhaltet. Eine solche Herangehensweise erscheint gerade in High Profile-Fällen als notwendig, da diese das WTO-Streitbeilegungsverfahren als Ganzes unterminieren können.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Forum Shopping in der Insolvenz:
Book SynopsisEinflussnahmen auf die internationale gerichtliche Zuständigkeit (forum shopping) durch Schuldner erfreuen sich im Rahmen der Europäischen Insolvenzverordnung (EuInsVO) reger Beliebtheit. Nicht selten ist bei diesen Manövern aber fraglich, ob dem Ziel der EuInsVO, ein für die von der Insolvenz des Schuldners betroffenen Dritten feststell- und vorhersehbares Anknüpfungssystem zu schaffen, noch entsprochen wird. Es lohnt daher, die Zulässigkeit von forum shopping im Rahmen der EuInsVO mit Blick auf einen reibungslos funktionierenden Binnenmarkt zu beleuchten und zu hinterfragen, wie binnenmarktschädlichen Gestaltungen erfolgreich begegnet werden kann. Dies unternimmt Philipp Reuß und stellt dabei das unionsrechtliche allgemeine Rechtsmissbrauchsverbot in den Fokus seiner Betrachtung. Er bereitet das seit jeher kontrovers diskutierte Rechtsmissbrauchsverbot nicht nur rechtstheoretisch auf, sondern entwickelt auch dessen höchst umstrittene Geltung und konkrete Ausgestaltung im Recht der Europäischen Union, insbesondere im unionalen Insolvenzrecht. Angesichts einer geplanten Revision der EuInsVO macht der Autor geeignete Reformvorschläge.Die Arbeit wurde mit dem Wissenschaftspreis des Gravenbrucher Kreises 2012 ausgezeichnet.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Der Einzelne im europäischen Verwaltungsrecht:
Book SynopsisMit den Normativitätsschüben der Verträge von Maastricht und Lissabon ist der Einzelne in den Mittelpunkt des europäischen Verwaltungsrechts gerückt. Ausgehend von dieser Beobachtung schlägt Johannes Saurer einen Perspektivenwechsel vor. Er kontrastiert den tradierten institutionell-organisationsbezogenen Zugriff auf die Verwaltungsarchitektur der Europäischen Union mit einer Betrachtung aus individueller Sicht. Dabei erschließt sich der Begriff des 'Einzelnen' als normative Konstruktion, die eine Vielzahl sozial und ökonomisch höchst unterschiedlicher Akteure zusammenführt: Privatpersonen, kleine und mittlere Unternehmen, transnationale Konzerne und verschiedene Interessengruppen. Weitere Schwerpunkte betreffen die ambivalente Zweckstruktur subjektiv-öffentlicher Rechte im Unionsrecht, Verfahren und Rechtsschutz in den komplexen Vollzugsstrukturen und das Prinzip der institutionellen Verantwortungsteilung, das Uniongerichte und Unionsgesetzgeber gleichermaßen für die Individualrechtssicherung in die Pflicht nimmt.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Der nemo tenetur -Grundsatz als Grenze
Book SynopsisDas zwischenstaatliche Amts- und Rechtshilferecht in Steuersachen hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten nicht nur enorm an Bedeutung gewonnen, sondern unterlag insbesondere unter dem Einfluss der Europäischen Union einem wesentlichen Wandel. Während die grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit ursprünglich eher von politischen Maßstäben geprägt war, tritt zunehmend der Charakter einer Verrechtlichung hervor, der als Konsequenz vormals noch vernachlässigte Fragen des Grundrechtsschutzes deutlicher in den Vordergrund der Betrachtung rückt. In diesem Kontext verdient unter anderem der "nemo tenetur"-Grundsatz besondere Beachtung. Der steuerliche Auskunftsverkehr ist meist auf Informationen ausgerichtet, die zwangsweise von dem Steuerpflichtigen erlangt werden. Diese Informationen können auch in einem gegen ihn gerichteten Strafverfahren von Bedeutung sein. Hierbei stellt sich insbesondere die Frage, inwiefern ein europäisch verstandener "nemo tenetur"-Grundsatz den steuerlichen Informationshilfeverkehr begrenzend beeinflusst.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Innovation im Verwaltungsrecht durch
Book SynopsisNicola Wiesinger legt ihrer Arbeit die Frage nach einer Innovation im Recht durch Internationalisierung zugrunde. Als Referenzgebiet wählt sie hierfür im Allgemeinen das Verwaltungsrecht und im Besonderen das Umweltrecht. Da die meisten Umweltprobleme global sind, muss die Lösung zumeist eine staatenübergreifende sein, die im Wege des Völkerrechts vereinbart wird. Gerade das Umweltrecht ist daher sehr stark von äußeren, völkerrechtlichen Einflüssen geprägt. Um einen konkreten Anhaltspunkt zu erhalten, untersucht die Autorin die Frage der Internationalisierung der nationalen Rechtsordnungen am Beispiel einer der großen völkerrechtlichen Verträge der letzten Zeit, der Aarhus-Konvention. Dabei wählt sie nicht nur die deutsche Rechtsordnung als Untersuchungsgegenstand aus, sondern widmet sich auch der Frage nach einer Innovation in den Rechtsordnungen der Europäischen Union sowie von Frankreich und England.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Internationale Sozialstandards im nationalen
Book SynopsisSeit Gründung der Internationalen Arbeitsorganisation wurde im internationalen öffentlichen Recht eine Vielzahl von - bindenden wie nicht bindenden - Normen geschaffen, die auf die Aufrechterhaltung, vor allem aber die Verbesserung der sozioökonomischen Lebenssituation des Einzelnen abzielen. Claudia Hofmann untersucht anhand des südafrikanischen Systems sozialer Sicherheit, welchen Einfluss diese internationalen Sozialstandards im nationalen Rechtssystem haben. Sie verknüpft dazu rechts- und politikwissenschaftliche Perspektiven und geht folgenden Fragen nach: Welche Inhalte internationaler Sozialstandards werden in der südafrikanischen sozialrechtlichen Gesetzgebung und Rechtsprechung rezipiert? Welches sind die zentralen Akteure und relevanten rechtlichen Strukturen in diesem "Einflussprozess"? Welche Theorien beziehungsweise Theorieansätze gibt es im Hinblick auf diesen Prozess?

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Kultur und staatliches Handeln: Grundlagen eines
Book SynopsisDie Kultur genießt seit jeher ein hohes politisches Interesse; im Selbstverständnis des deutschen Staates spielt sie eine wichtige Rolle. Kulturelle Betätigung ist dabei in hohem Maße auf staatliche Unterstützung angewiesen. Da sich in ihr die Persönlichkeit des Kulturschaffenden verwirklicht, steht sie gleichzeitig in einem natürlichen Spannungsverhältnis zum staatlichen Einfluss. Claas Friedrich Germelmann untersucht und systematisiert die Rahmenbedingungen für zulässige und notwendige staatliche Maßnahmen im kulturellen Bereich. Dies betrifft die verfassungsrechtlichen Grundlagen des Kulturrechts ebenso wie die zentralen verwaltungsrechtlichen Steuerungsmechanismen. Er liefert eine umfassende Untersuchung des öffentlichen Kulturrechts, das sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten erheblich gewandelt hat. Mehr noch als internationale und europarechtliche Vorgaben haben die verstärkten Aktivitäten des Bundes die föderale deutsche Kulturlandschaft nachhaltig verändert.
