MFN Standard as Substantive Treatment
Das Meistbegünstigungsprinzip (engl. "Most favoured nation", MFN) ist ein integraler Bestandteil praktisch aller heutigen Investitionssysteme. MFN-Klauseln in internationalen Investitionsabkommen signalisieren Anlegern staatlichen Schutz vor Diskriminierung. Ihre Durchsetzung in der Praxis ist nicht immer unproblematisch. Das Buch stellt die Funktionsweisen der Meistbegünstigung als Standard des internationalen Investitionsrechts umfassend dar. Ausgehend der Entwicklung des Konzepts im internationalen Recht, bietet die Autorin einen Überblick über die bestehenden staatlichen Praktiken bei der Aushandlung der MFN-Klauseln in bilateralen und internationalen Investitionsverträgen. Schließlich analysiert die Arbeit MFN-Klauseln auf ihr Potenzial hin, Diskriminierung zu verhindern und den "Import" von materiellen Schutzrechten in internationalen staatlichen Schiedsverfahren für Investoren zu ermöglichen.
European Union and New Regionalism
This title was first published in 2001. This is a collection of papers that look at the structure of the global economy, and its changing paradigms over the years. The contributors look at how the classic concept of state - autonomous, sovereign and freed of all constraint - never really reflected the reality of the international scene, despite the role it has played in realist and neo-realist theory for many decades. Instead, they consider that the political, social and economic characteristics originally attributed to states seem increasingly to be expressed through regional constructs. The papers in this volume show that even within regionalism there are a variety of different models that exist, and examine five of those models: the European Union; Mercosul-Mercosur; the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA); the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN); and the South African Development Community (SADC).
Information Sharing and Data Protection in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice
Privacy and data protection in police work and law enforcement cooperation has always been a challenging issue. Current developments in EU internal security policy, such as increased information sharing (which includes the exchange of personal data between European law enforcement agencies and judicial actors in the area of freedom, security and justice (Europol, Eurojust, Frontex and OLAF)) and the access of EU agencies, in particular Europol and Eurojust, to data stored in European information systems such as the SIS (II), VIS, CIS or Eurodac raise interesting questions regarding the balance between the rights of individuals and security interests. This book deals with the complexity of the relations between these actors and offers for the first time a comprehensive overview of the structures for information exchange in the area of freedom, security and justice and their compliance with data protection rules in this field.
The Many Concepts of Social Justice in European Private Law
'Does European regulatory private law offer a genuine model of justice for society? Beyond its initial libertarian focus on economic integration through the market citizen, might it now serve the social inclusion of the vulnerable? In the wake of Hans Micklitz's inspired and relentless pursuit of meaning within the ongoing constitutionalization of private law relationships, this rich collection explores the implications of new, specifically European, forms of access rights, which ensure (horizontally and vertically) enforceable and non-discriminatory opportunity for market participation.'

Euro-Mediterranean Relations after the Arab Spring
The ’Arab Spring’ triggered paradigmatic shifts but, despite these changes, much in the Euro-Mediterranean region remains the same. Utilising ’Logics of Action’, an innovative theoretical framework designed to capture the complexity of political interaction in one of the fastest changing regions in the world, this book discusses developments in the region before and after the Arab Spring that can be characterised by a continuation of the norm. Expert contributors identify patterns of interaction between governmental institutions, economic entrepreneurs, religious groups and other diverse actors that withstood these historical changes and explore why these relationships have proved so robust. Connecting a unique sample of case studies on changing and persistent ’Logics of Action’ within the Euro-Mediterranean space this book provides a pivotal contribution to our understanding of political interaction between North Africa, the Middle East and the European Union. Offering a completely new perspective on the events of the ’Arab Spring’ it identifies something that seems paradoxical at first sight; persistence in times of radical change.

The Cold War U.S. Army
Focuses on the Seventh Army in West Germany--the largest and best-prepared field army ever deployed by the U.S. in peacetime--to show how the U.S. army redefined its identity, structure, and mission in order to avoid obsolescence during the Cold War era of nuclear weapons and air power.
