The Routledge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and International Relations examines how machines, algorithms, and data are reshaping the way nations interact, negotiate, and navigate global politics. In the 21st century, artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed from a theoretical wonder to a real force, and with it the race to dominate new technologies is proving to be a key geopolitical concern. This book looks at both the ways in which AI is transforming the landscape of international relations and the challenges this brings. The book includes discussions on: The need for regulations and oversight to make sure that AI is used in an ethical way AI’s role in conflict resolution and ...
Legal Sources in Business and Human Rights engages with some evolving trends that are currently affecting the international and EU law sources in the field of Business and Human Rights. Three main dynamics are detected and explored: the emergence of international legal obligations that are also binding on corporations (Part I); the growing participation of corporations in traditional international standard-setting and law-making processes and, in parallel, the emergence of atypical and heterogeneous law-making processes (Part II); the formal or substantive hardening of originally soft normative standards, through a multi-layered and multi-player law-making process (Part III). Interestingly, these trends concur to mitigate States’ reluctance to accept binding rules in this field, and to strengthen the effectiveness of soft international regulation.
This volume brings together various perspectives to re-conceptualise IP protection beyond borders within a broader public international law framework.
Arbitration is adjudication and, like any form of adjudication, it must ensure justice to parties. Justice requires that in settling disputes arbitrators constantly balance the opposing interests of the parties and the different legal systems relevant to the resolution of the dispute from time to time at hand. This book addresses such issues by looking at the different stages of arbitration: from the selection of the arbitral seat to the definition of jurisdictional limits, from the choice of applicable law to the revision of arbitral awards. The book collects essays by colleagues and friends of Piero Bernardini, a leading practitioner of international arbitration who was a champion in achieving balance in the administration of justice through arbitration.
This edited volume discusses ethical issues raised by the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in business. Written by academics and practitioners across Europe, this volume provides a regional management perspective on the consequences of AI, including potential effects on the business models of companies, strategic considerations regarding the construction of data-literate companies and workforces, and the limits and opportunities of proposed EU regulations. Providing a forum to hypothesise solutions for accelerating technology adoption while guaranteeing human dignity, this book will be valuable for researchers and students interested in management, AI, fintech, information systems, and sustainable business as well as managers and practitioners navigating the challenges of a data-driven future.
This handbook, edited by Zeller and Andersen, is an indispensable contribution to the field of transnational commercial law. With an introduction by Sir Roy Goode, this book presents perspectives on legal issues of international sales transactions as perceived by world leading experts, exposing pragmatic and modern aspects of everything from drafting, to uniform laws, to dispute resolution. The book divides itself between fundamental knowledge of transnational commercial law (e.g. chapters on forum shopping, CISG, Cape Town Convention, etc.) and current and topical developments (e.g. chapters on blockchain, smart contracts, metaverse, digital assets, etc.). International or transnational tra...
This book centres on the ways in which the concept of imperativeness has found expression in private international law (PIL) and discusses “imperative norms”, and “imperativeness” as their intrinsic quality, examining the rules or principles that protect fundamental interests and/or the values of a state so as to require their application at any cost and without exceptions. Discussing imperative norms in PIL means referring to international public policy and overriding mandatory rules: in this book the origins, content, scope and effects of both these forms of imperativeness are analyzed in depth. This is a subject deserving further study, considering that very divergent opinions are...
Italians to America is the first indexed reference work devoted to Italian immigrants to the United States. This series contains passenger list information in chronological order on the first major wave of Italian migration during the last two decades of the nineteenth century. As with the highly regarded companion series on German immigrants, Italians to America presents the passenger lists in chronological order, including information on each person's age, sex, occupation, village of origin, and destination, plus the name of the ship, the port of embarkation and the date of arrival. Each volume also contains an introduction on the history of Italian migration to the U.S. and a full name index, greatly simplifying the researcher's job.
