Address before the Royal institute of international affairs, London, Dec. 14, 1926.

Die Autoren des vorliegenden Beitrags analysieren den Prozeß der Etablierung von Normen im Bereich der internationalen Handelspolitik, wobei das Rechtssystem GATT als Beispiel dient. Es zeigt sich, daß das "General Agreement on Tarifs and Trade" (GATT) im Laufe der Zeit zu einem international anerkannten Rechtssystem geworden ist. Die Etappen der GATT-Entwicklung werden nachgezeichnet. Der Prozeß der Anerkennung ist auf die komplizierte Zusammenführung nationalen und internationalen Rechts zurückzuführen, die nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg in Angriff genommen worden ist und als Prozeß der Rechts-Globalisierung verstanden wird. Endgültiges Ziel ist es, eine liberale Wirtschaftsordnung zu etablieren. Nationale Handelspolitik soll zu einer internationalen generieren. Die Entstehung von Handelsblöcken steht jedoch bisher noch einer effektiven Generalisierung im Wege. (psz)

The fully revised seventh edition of this successful textbook explains the legal and diplomatic methods and organisations used to solve international disputes, how they work and when they are used. It looks at diplomatic (negotiation, mediation, inquiry and conciliation) and legal methods (arbitration, judicial settlement). It uses many, up-to-date examples of each method in practice to place the theory of how the law works in real-life situations, demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses of different methods when they are used. Fully updated throughout, the seventh edition includes a new introduction explaining the common principles of settlement and a chapter on investor-state arbitration, as well as recommended further readings at the end of each chapter. It is an essential resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate courses on international dispute settlement.

Abstract
Racialization—the processes that infuse social and political phenomena with racial identities and implications—is an assertion of power, a claim of purportedly inherent differences that has saturated modern diplomacy, order, and violence. Despite the field's consistent interest in power, international security studies in the United States largely omitted racial dynamics from decades of debates about international conflict and cooperation, nuclear proliferation, power transitions, unipolarity, civil wars, terrorism, international order, grand strategy, and other subjects. A new framework lays conceptual bedrock, links relevant literatures to major research agendas in international security, cultivates interdisciplinary dialogues, and charts promising paths to consider how overt and embedded racialization shape the study and practice of international security. A discussion of several research design challenges for integrating racialization into existing and new research agendas helps scholars reconsider how they approach questions of race and security. Beyond diversifying the professoriat itself, revealing and countering embedded biases are crucial to determine how alternative ideas have been marginalized, and, ultimately, to develop better theories.

"This book analyses the rapidly increasing role of African states, leaders and other political actors in international politics in the 21st Century. In contrast to the conventional approach of studying how external actors impacted on Africa's international relations, this book seeks to open up a new approach, focusing on the impact of African political actors on international politics. It does this by analysing African agency - the degree to which African political actors have room to manoeuvre within the international system and exert influence internationally, and the uses they make of that room for manoeuvre. Bringing together leading scholars from Africa and Europe to explore the role and conception of African Agency, this book addresses a wide range of issues, from relations with western and non-western donors, Africa's role in the UN and World Trade Organisation, negotiations over climate change, trade agreements with the European Union, regional diplomatic strategies, the character and extent of African state agency, and agency within corporate social responsibility initiatives. African Agency in International Politics will be of interest to scholars and students of Africa's international relations, African politics, development, geography, diplomacy, trade, the environment, political science and security studies."--Publisher's website.
