Stamboulakis: Comparative Recognition and Enforcement: Foreign Judgments and Awards

Drossos Stamboulakis (Monash Univ.) has published Comparative Recognition and Enforcement: Foreign Judgments and Awards (Cambridge Univ. Press 2022). Here's the abstract:

This book provides the first detailed analysis of recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and awards in civil and commercial matters from a transnational perspective. This perspective facilitates greater understanding of the present state of recognition and enforcement and offers insight into the establishment and operation of key modern instruments. This book represents a timely contribution, as instruments harmonising and promoting recognition and enforcement are increasingly being considered and implemented internationally. Many countries have recently reiterated their commitment to improving access to justice and have indicated an intention to sign one or both of the treaties designed to harmonise and promote recognition and enforcement of civil and commercial judgments internationally: the 2005 Choice of Court Convention or the 2019 Judgments Convention. This book is an essential resource for policymakers, scholars, and intergovernmental organisations to understand the nature and origin of recognition and enforcement approaches, as well as their application, interpretation, and future directions.

Bordin, Müller, & Pascual-Vives: The European Union and Customary International Law

Fernando Lusa Bordin (Univ. of Cambridge), Andreas Th. Müller (Universität Innsbruck), & Francisco Pascual-Vives (Universidad de Alcalá) have published The European Union and Customary International Law (Cambridge Univ. Press 2022). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

The book gathers a group of scholars interested in both public international law and EU law to cover different facets of the relationship between the European Union and customary international law. Considering the distinct perspectives taken by international law and EU law, while also looking into the space in between the two, individual chapters tackle complex questions such as whether and on what bases the European Union is bound by customary international law as a matter of international law and EU law; how the European Union contributes to the development of international custom; and how different stakeholders – the Court of Justice of the European Union, the EU's political organs and EU citizens – rely upon customary rules. The book thus offers a systematic account of the relevance of customary international law for the external relations and internal functioning of what is no doubt the most remarkable regional international organization of our time.

Cho & Kurtz: Investing the ASEAN Way: Theories and Practices of Economic Integration in Southeast Asia

Sungjoon Cho (Chicago-Kent College of Law) & Jürgen Kurtz (European Univ. Institute) have published Investing the ASEAN Way: Theories and Practices of Economic Integration in Southeast Asia (Cambridge Univ. Press 2022). Here's the abstract:

In recent decades, South East Asia has become one of the world's most popular destinations for foreign investment. The member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have employed varying modalities to pursue first security and then economic cooperation. This book explores regional law and governance in ASEAN through the lens of its regulation of foreign investment. It adopts a new framework to identify the unique ontological autonomy of the ASEAN Investment Regime beyond a simple aggregation of its individual member states. It deploys a sociology-led approach (especially constructivism) and emphasizes ideational factors (such as culture and norms) that guide state actions from within. The book explores the manner in which ASEAN's history and culture have fundamentally shaped its foreign investment policies, leading to outcomes that often depart fundamentally from the external structure and script of Global Investment Law.

Gao & Zhou: Between Market Economy and State Capitalism: China's State-Owned Enterprises and the World Trading System

Henry Gao (Singapore Management Univ. - Law) & Weihuan Zhou (Univ. of New South Wales - Law) have published Between Market Economy and State Capitalism: China's State-Owned Enterprises and the World Trading System (Cambridge Univ. Press 2022). Here's the abstract:

One major issue facing the world trading system today is how to deal with the challenge of China's state capitalism. Many commentators believe that the existing WTO rules are insufficient and, thus new rules are needed. This book challenges this conventional wisdom. Through meticulous studies and fresh analysis of the commitments in China's WTO accession package, existing rules on state capitalism in WTO agreements and recent attempts to make new rules on these issues at the bilateral, regional and multilateral levels, this book argues that existing WTO rules, especially those on subsidies, coupled with China-specific rules in its accession protocol, do provide feasible tools to counter China's state capitalism. This book also discusses the reasons for the lack of usage of these rules and provides concrete policy suggestions on how the rules may be better utilized, as well as how to conduct constructive negotiations on new rules in the WTO and beyond.

Likibi: La protection internationale de l’enfant en situation de migration

Romuald Likibi has published La protection internationale de l’enfant en situation de migration (Éditions du Panthéon 2022). Here's the abstract:

Les migrations internationales sont en constante augmentation et il en est de même du nombre de mineurs engagés, volontairement ou non, dans un processus migratoire. Il était devenu important d’avoir un ouvrage sur les différentes formes de protection auxquelles ils peuvent prétendre en fonction de leur situation (demandeur d’asile, réfugié, apatride, déplacé, migrant, étranger accompagné ou isolé…). Cette étude est à destination des travailleurs sociaux, des associations de défense des droits des migrants, mais surtout des dirigeants politiques et des États. Ces derniers se doivent de respecter la totalité de leurs engagements internationaux et d’apporter une réelle assistance à une catégorie particulièrement vulnérable.

Bak McKenna: Reckoning with Empire: Self-Determination in International Law

Miriam Bak McKenna (Roskilde Univ. - Institute of Social Science and Business) has published Reckoning with Empire: Self-Determination in International Law (Brill | Nijhoff 2022). Here's the abstract:

The book adopts a new approach to self-determination’s international legal history, tracing the ways in which various actors have sought to reinvent self-determination in different juridical, political, and economic iterations to create the conditions for global transformation. The value of the book’s approach lies not only in a more nuanced understanding of self-determination’s legal history, but in excavating the multiple ways in which actors, particularly those from the Global South, have challenged the existing normative and legal structures which rendered them unequal under the European system of international law. Rethinking this process touches on issues that are relevant not only to debates about the enduring legacy of imperialism in our present, but also to contemporary discussions of the position self-determination has come to occupy in international law.

Ramcharan, Brett, Clark, & Parker: The Protection Roles of Human Rights NGOs: Essays in Honour of Adrien-Claude Zoller

Bertrand Ramcharan, Rachel Brett, Ann Marie Clark, & Penny Parker have published The Protection Roles of Human Rights NGOs: Essays in Honour of Adrien-Claude Zoller (Brill | Nijhoff 2022). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

This book focuses, for the first time ever, on the protection roles of human rights NGOs since the establishment of the United Nations and the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It also looks at how NGOs are responding to future challenges such as artificial Intelligence, robots in armed conflicts, digital threats, and the protection of human rights in outer space. Written by leading NGO human rights practitioners from different parts of the world, it sheds light on the multiple roles of the leading pillar of the global human rights movement, the Non-Governmental Organizations.

Shany: Digital Rights and the Outer Limits of International Human Rights Law

Yuval Shany (Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem - Law) has posted Digital Rights and the Outer Limits of International Human Rights Law (German Law Journal, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:

This article explores the extent to which key normative and institutional responses to the challenges raised by the digital age are compatible with, or interact with, changes in key features of the existing international human rights law (IHRL) framework. Furthermore, the article claims that the IHRL framework is already changing, partly due to its interaction with digital human rights. This moving normative landscape creates new opportunities for promoting human rights in the digital age, but might also raise new concerns about the political acceptability of IHRL. Following an introduction, Part One of the article will describe the development of digital human rights, using a “three generations” typology. The Second Part will explain how new developments in the field of digital human rights coincide with broader developments in IHRL, including: the extra-territorial application of human rights, obligations on governments to actively regulate private businesses and the erosion of normative boundaries separating specific human rights treaties from other parts of IHRL and international law. These two segments are followed by concluding remarks.

Van der Ploeg, Pasquet, & Castellanos-Jankiewicz: International Law and Time: Narratives and Techniques

Klara Polackova Van der Ploeg (Univ. of Nottingham - Law), Luca Pasquet (Utrecht Univ. - Law), & León Castellanos-Jankiewicz (Asser Institute for International and European Law) have published International Law and Time: Narratives and Techniques (Springer 2022). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

This book explores the close, complex and consequential – yet to a large extent implicit – relationship between international law and time. There is a conspicuous discrepancy between international law’s technical preoccupation with the mechanics of temporal rules and the absence of more foundational considerations of how time – both as an irrepressible physical dimension manifesting in the passage of time, and as a social construct shaped by diverse social and cultural factors – impacts and interacts with international law. Divided into five parts and 21 chapters, this book explores key aspects of the relationship between international law and time and puts the spotlight on time’s fundamental significance for international law as a legal order and as a discipline. Pursuing diverse approaches to international law, the authors consider the notion, significance, manifestations, uses and implications of time in international law in a wide range of contexts, and offer insights into the various ways in which international law and international lawyers cope with time, both in terms of constructing narratives and in devising and employing particular legal techniques.
