This book presents a distinctive approach to the study of war and its law. It provides a vehicle for students from various disciplines -- historical analysis, international relations theory, law and economics, behavioral economics and psychology, science and technology (including the study of the environment), sociology, political philosophy, moral and ethical theory, and comparative religion -- to work together in addressing the cutting edge issues presented in the modern law of war. Practical activity in the law of war – in governments, international governmental and nongovernmental organizations, and elsewhere -- now requires an ability to understand the language of practitioners in other disciplines who participate in the formation of new norms and their application in the law of war; and practitioners in those other disciplines who participate in the formation and application of the law of war now also need to have an understanding of the distinctive features of international law as a separate discipline. Thus, much as war itself is too important to be left to generals, the law of war is too important to be left to international lawyers alone. The book can be used in research seminars in international law at law schools, graduate programs in these various disciplines, and even in advanced courses at the undergraduate level, with the goal of enabling students to develop interdisciplinary fluency in discussion of the case studies ranging from the Melian Dialogue to the Nuclear Weapons Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice. ; https://scholarship.law.edu/fac_books/1128/thumbnail.jpg

Welche Auswirkungen haben Staatensukzessionen auf das anwendbare Recht? Ausgehend von den Begriffen des Staates und der Staatensukzession sowohl im Völkerrecht als auch im Internationalen Privatrecht untersucht Marie-Therese Ziereis diese Fragestellung. Dabei analysiert sie, wie mit ortsbezogenen Verweisungen umzugehen ist, die sich auf ein von einer Staatensukzession betroffenes Gebiet beziehen, und welche Folgen sich für Anknüpfungspunkte wie etwa die Staatsangehörigkeit ergeben können. Ebenso klärt die Autorin Fragen auf Ebene des Sachrechts, z.B. ob die Völkerrechtswidrigkeit einer Sukzession ein Eingreifen des ordre public erfordert, wie mit Handeln unter nicht mehr bestehendem Recht umzugehen ist oder wie mit durch Staatensukzessionen bedingten Rückwirkungen zu verfahren ist.

Ob Welthandelsorganisation, Weltbank, die Vereinten Nationen oder die Europäische Union: Internationale Organisationen haben nicht nur Auswirkungen auf Staaten, sondern zunehmend auch auf die Gesellschaft. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie sich internationale Organisationen als Teil der Weltgesellschaft erforschen lassen, indem zwischen Weltsemantik, Innenwelt, Umweltbeziehung und Weltordnungsgenese unterschieden wird. Dazu geht es insbesondere auf die Dreiecksbeziehungen zwischen politischen Mitgliedern, Verwaltungsstäben und gesellschaftlicher Umwelt ein.

Ever since the cyber attacks against the computer networks of European governments and defence and foreign ministries have become public knowledge, security policy-makers have insisted that the EU Member States need to develop more adequate cyber-defence and cyber-retaliation capabilities. However, the EU continues to base its cyber-security strategy on the resilience of Information and Communication Technology Infrastructures and cyber diplomacy as part of its Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) so as to position itself as a force for peace. Its Joint EU Diplomatic Response to Malicious Cyber Activities, adopted in October 2017, primarily stipulates non-military instruments that could contribute to "the mitigation of cybersecurity threats, conflict prevention and greater stability in international relations". Faced with increasing activities infrastructures, Europe would be well-advised to adhere to the step-by-step cyber-diplomacy plan, which is based on the principle of due diligence. (author's abstract)
