The purpose of this article is to examine the research advanced in the journal, International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law and Economics that represents key insights into international agreements on water and their political, legal, economic and cross-disciplinary dimensions for water governance. The article analyses evidence and lessons learnt over the last twenty years to inform policy through a review of theoretical advances, innovations in principles and policy instruments, outcomes of problem-solving and knowledge gained regarding water agreements and associated institutions. Important international agreement principles of no significant harm and economic frames of water as a 'commons' advance equity and community of interest in relation to water. The studies on water, sanitation and hygiene point to the ways the role of the state can be advanced in achieving Sustainable Development Goals and in complex contexts of water scarcity and public private partnerships. Cross-disciplinary learnings substantiate the existence and utility of multiple water frames in legal arrangements and use of multiple policy instruments. Cross-disciplinary insights are significant in addressing equity, whether through the nascent development of water indicators or in advancing social learning. Water governance frameworks increasingly focus on adaptation by incorporating multiple stakeholders. These findings that advance equity and inclusivity are tempered by crucial lessons in our understanding of the very contested, power-laden nature of water governance that impact agency at multiple scales and policy coordination across sectors of water, food and energy.

Almost twenty years old, the constructivist turn in international relations scholarship has succeeded in demonstrating the effects of norms, both in guiding the interactions of states with one another as well as influencing the domestic political debates that give rise to foreign policy outcomes. More recently, scholars have begun to study empirically the interactions between international and domestic normative systems. The origins of many international norms have been located in national understandings of what constitutes appropriate behaviour in a given issue area. The reverse, however, is also held to be true. Many national-level norms have been adopted after first finding their articulation in international institutions.

A discussion of the debate about a "revolution in military affairs" (RMA) from the perspective of public international law is urgent. This does not mean to assess the legality of RMA as such but to discuss the often unintended side effects of technological & conceptual changes in military affairs. These changes have an impact on the ius contra bellum, the ius in bello, & the law of arms control & disarmament. In all of these areas there are new challenges emerging with respect to new actors (eg, terror networks) & new scenarios (eg, transnational & asymmetric conflicts). Adapted from the source document.

Le 13 juillet 1888, la direction de la Socit hongroise de la Croix-Rouge adressait au Comit international un message pour demander des renseignements sur les points suivants: Quels sont, les Etats dans lesquels l'emploi arbitraire du signe de la croix rouge a t prohib? Quelles sont les prescriptions dictes cet gard par les divers gouvernements? Quel est le contenu des dispositions statutaires des comits centraux ayant trait ce sujet? Il s'agissait, pour la Socit hongroise, d'claircir ces divers points avant de prsenter au ministre hongrois de l'intrieur des propositions motives, en vue de la promulgation d'un dcret devant protger contre tout abus le nom et le signe de la Croix-Rouge.

La notion de populisme est utilisée la plupart du temps pour décrire des scènes politiques nationales, et la pluralité de ses usages peut donner une impression d'indéfinition. Le populisme écologique, concept proposé ici, est décrit comme une stratégie dont les éléments peuvent être articulés au niveau national aussi bien qu'international. L'étude des politiques internationales bolivienne et équatorienne sous les gouvernements de Rafael Correa et d'Evo Morales permet de défendre la thèse selon laquelle cette stratégie politique se caractérise par un renouvellement de l'anti-impérialisme des années 1970 et l'usage d'un signifiant vide singulier, la Pachamama , ou Terre nourricière. Cette stratégie permet non seulement de réunir les milieux altermondialistes autour des diplomaties en question, mais aussi de renforcer la cohésion interne des blocs qui soutiennent les gouvernements Correa et Morales. Cependant, même s'il donne une visibilité inédite à ces pays au sein du multilatéralisme environnemental, le populisme écologique ne parvient pas, faute de puissance et d'intégration des propositions formulées, à transformer le cadre multilatéral contesté.
