Even over 50 years after its entry into force, the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 remains as important as ever and enjoys a high level of acceptance worldwide. Over 190 states have acceded to the Convention and apply its provisions in their daily diplomatic work. These comprehensively revised and updated commentaries provide those who apply the law with practical explanations on the Vienna Convention's provisions. Key topics such as diplomatic immunity, the inviolability of the diplomatic mission and the protection of diplomatic couriers are addressed here in detail, with particular regard to German legislation and jurisprudence on such issues. The commentaries are rounded off by comprehensive information derived from the day-to-day work of the Federal Foreign Office and other foreign services.
The recent crises in global economy and in European integration have caused a considerable revival of interest in the Nordic Welfare Model. However, less attention has been given to the ways in which the nations that form Scandinavia or ‘Norden’ are connected through various forms of inter- and transnational cooperation. With contributions from a team of experts in the field, this volume analyses Nordic cooperation in a European perspective and argues that this special form of transnational cooperation has been crucial in the development of the Nordic Welfare Model. In addition, it also contends that the Nordic model of transnational cooperation is a relevant case study when pondering the present problems of European integration. This text will be of key interest to students, researchers and policy makers studying the Nordic Model and transnational cooperation and more generally to those interested in European studies, Scandinavian studies, welfare studies, international relations and regional integration.

This book presents a ground-breaking comparative study of the bilateral relations of all 27 EU member states with Russia and an assessment of their impact on the EU’s efforts to conduct a coherent and effective policy towards its most important neighbour. While there has been a lot of research on European foreign policy, there has been much less on the role that national foreign policies play in it. Based on a common analytical framework, this book offers a detailed analysis of ‘national perspectives on Russia’ and how they interact with and affect policymaking at the EU-level. The authors provide deep insights into the relationship between individual states and Russia looking at a ran...
