This book focuses on maritime employment from a private international law perspective. The first chapter analyzes the background against which international jurisdiction and conflict of laws rules are drawn up and examines uniform law in this context, in particular the 2006 Maritime Labour Convention and the 2007 ILO Convention No. 188 on Work in Fishing. The second chapter addresses international jurisdiction issues as regards individual employment contracts, while also exploring other issues (e.g. insolvency-related and social security matters) that are subsequently revisited in the third chapter while discussing conflict of laws issues related to said contracts. In turn, chapter four focuses on collective labour relations and private international law, i.e. collective agreements, strikes and other forms of collective action and information, and on the participation rights of employees in business matters

International cooperation is plagued by uncertainty. Although states negotiate the best agreements possible using available information, unpredictable things happen after agreements are signed that are beyond states' control. States may not even commit themselves to an agreement if they anticipate that circumstances will alter their expected benefits. Duration provisions can insure states in this context. Specifically, the use of finite duration depends positively on the degree of uncertainty and states' relative risk aversion and negatively on the cost. These formally derived hypotheses strongly survive a test with data on a random sample of agreements across all four of the major issue areas in international relations. Not only do the results, highlighting evidence on multiple kinds of flexibility provisions, strongly suggest that the design of international agreements is systematic and sophisticated; but also they call attention to common ground among various subfields of political science and law.

Die Regionen innerhalb eines Landes standen schon immer im Wettbewerb um Unternehmensansiedlungen. Im Zuge der Globalisierung hat die internationale Dimension der Standortentscheidungen in den letzten Jahren jedoch erheblich zugenommen. Im Rahmen der Untersuchung im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung (BMVBS) wurde der Frage nachgegangen, ob und inwieweit der Standort Ostdeutschland für Investoren international attraktiv ist. Die Position Ostdeutschlands, d. h. der fünf neuen Länder inkl. Berlins, im internationalen Standortwettbewerb wurde durch einen länderübergreifenden Vergleich der für Unternehmensansiedlungen als signifikant ermittelten Standortfaktoren vorgenommen. - Eine abschließende Stärken-Schwächen-Analyse des Investitionsstandorts Ostdeutschland bildete die Grundlage für Handlungsempfehlungen an politische Entscheidungsträger zur Verbesserung der Investitionsbedingungen am Standort Ostdeutschland. Ansatzpunkte hierfür finden sich vor allem in den Bereichen Bildung und Forschung, damit sich die neuen Bundesländer im Standortwettbewerb um die Ansiedlung wissensintensiver und innovationsorientierter Unternehmen behaupten können.
