However, each State is situated in a particular context – an Etat situé – and the universal, impartial and non-discriminatory application of international law to each State often produces unjustifiable results in the real world. International law thus needs to cope with this existential question in order to ensure and maintain the effectiveness of the international legal order, without, however, being trapped by a nihilistic relativism. This approach requires a flexible understanding and reconstruction of the international law-making theory. The present collection of essays gathers contributions written in honour of Professor Ryuichi Ida by his colleagues and former students, inspired by the dédicataire, who places particular emphasis upon the context, effectiveness and purposes of international law. The dédicataire’s perspective finds wide ranging applications and the present collection deals with international economic law, international criminal law, international environmental law, international law-making, the law of State responsibility and the law of international organizations.  Contributors are: Tatsuya Abe, Pierre-Marie Dupuy, Shotaro Hamamoto, Machiko Kanetake, Tomohiko Kobayashi, Tomonori Mizushima, Hironobu Sakai, Akiho Shibata, Mari Takeuchi, Dai Tamada, Sakda Thanitcul, Zhi-an Wang, and Takuhei Yamada.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents  Préface \t\tVii Acknowledgements \t\tX List of Figures and Tables \t\tXII List of Contributors \t\tXIII  part 1 - “L’ être situé” : Deconstruction of Universality  1 L’État situé dans le droit international de l’investissement \t\t3 Shotaro Hamamoto 2 “ L’État situé” in the Context of the Accession of Developing Countries to the wto \t\t23 Tomonori Mizushima 3 The Functional Approach in le droit international de développement: A Theoretical Appraisal \t\t37 Zhian Wang 4 Emerging Economies and International Economic Law: A Case Study on Thailand \t\t63 Sakda Thanitcul 5 Universal Jurisdiction in a Context: From Dialectic to Dialogue 89 Mari Takeuchi  part 2  -  Effectiveness: Formality of Law and Amorphous Reality  6 Running Many ftas is Like Balancing between Many Bicycles: A Multidimensional Comparison of Institutional Provisions in Japan’s ftas \t\t115 Tomohiko Kobayashi 7 Provisional Measures in Investor-State Dispute Settlement: Reappearance of Community of Investment Interests? \t\t144 Dai Tamada 8 New Relationship between the United Nations and Regional Organizations in Peace Security: A Case of the African Union \t\t165 Hironobu Sakai  part 3  -  Law-Making: International Law Catching Up with the Globalizing Community  9 International and Domestic Laws in Collaboration: An Effective Means of Environmental Liability Regime-Making \t\t193 Akiho Shibata 10 New Perspectives on Soft Law: Towards More Effective Regime Governance \t\t214 Tatsuya Abe 11 The Defence of Necessity as Customary International Law: The Fisheries Jurisdiction Case (Spain v.
