Karliuk: The Emerging Autonomous Legal Order of the Eurasian Economic Union

Maksim Karliuk has published The Emerging Autonomous Legal Order of the Eurasian Economic Union (Cambridge Univ. Press 2023). Here's the abstract:

In this original study of the Eurasian Economic Union, Maksim Karliuk assesses the law and dynamics of functioning of this international organization. Examining the Eurasian Economic Union as an attempt to encourage post-Soviet integration, this book addresses the problematic legal issues of the integration process. Using the legal order autonomy framework, Karliuk carefully selects and organizes the topics included to offer readers a clear, systematic account of the most significant concerns. As well as considering theoretical issues, Karliuk engages with practical solutions to the problems identified. Besides merely outlining the present, this book develops a framework to address gaps and failures in current integration efforts and encourages further research into the complexities of Eurasian integration in the future.

Ciliberto: Litigating Socio-Economic Rights in Times of Resource Constraints: Lessons Learnt from the Eurozone Sovereign Debt Crisis

Giulia Ciliberto (Univ. of Cagliari) has published Litigating Socio-Economic Rights in Times of Resource Constraints: Lessons Learnt from the Eurozone Sovereign Debt Crisis (ESI/Nomos 2023). Here's the abstract:

During the last decades, the idea that economic and social rights are judicially enforceable has gained traction thanks to the creation of dedicated treaty regimes and related international supervisory mechanisms, alongside the growing body of national case-law adjudicating these rights. However, vindicating socio-economic rights in judicial settings remains a tricky matter on a practical level, as shown by the case-law on austerity legislation adopted in the context of the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis. Against this backdrop, this book considers the 2008-2018 turmoil as a polyhedral case-study to assess whether the national, international, and European Union systems provided adequate remedies for the violation of socio-economic rights and whether these systems could have adopted a different adjudicative approach with the view of enhancing the effectiveness of socio-economic rights enshrined in international human rights law. This book also strives to offer insights on the significance of these outcomes vis-à-vis prospective violations of socio-economic rights in times of resource constraints, including as a consequence of the enactment of austerity-like policies in the near future.

Kleczkowska: Threats of Force and International Law: Practice, Responses and Consequences

Agata Kleczkowska (Polish Academy of Sciences) has published Threats of Force and International Law: Practice, Responses and Consequences (Routledge 2023). Here's the abstract:

Threats of force are an inherent part of communication between some States. One prominent example is the 2017–2018 crisis in relations between the United States and North Korea, marked by multiple threats issued by both sides. Yet, despite the fact that States seem to use threats of force with unlimited freedom, they are prohibited by international law. This book presents threats of force from the perspective of the practice of States. Thus, the book is based on an examination of multiple cases when States reported threats of force. It describes what threats of force are, examines the status of the prohibition of threats of force as a legal norm, presents examples and describes the mechanisms that are available for States in case threats occur, as well as their legal consequences. The book will be an invaluable resource for academics and researchers in the areas of international security law, public international law, law of armed conflict and international relations.
