Literaturbericht über sieben 1985 erschiene Arbeiten zur kubanischen Innen- und Außenpolitik. Fortschritte sind zu bemerken im Hinblick auf die verbreitete Einsicht bei den Autoren der rezensierten Werke, daß kubanische Politik weniger in Abhängigkeit von der UdSSR als in autonomer Selbstbestimmung verstanden werden muß. Forschungsdesiderata bestehen hinsichtlich der verstärkten Berücksichtigung kubanischer Quellen und der intensiveren Beschäftigung mit dem kubanischen Beitrag zur Entstehung revolutionärer Bewegungen

Gerechtigkeit ist ein Schlüsselbegriff unserer Zeit, besonders während einer tiefen Wirtschaftskrise wie wir sie augenblicklich erleben. Viele politische, wirtschaftliche, aber eben auch philosophische und theologische Debatten drehen sich um dieses Thema. Besonders auch die globale Gerechtigkeit, die Verteilung der Güter und Chancen zwischen den Staaten und Völkern, rückt durch die intensive Verflechtung der Länder und Ökonomien immer stärker in den Mittelpunkt. Diesem wichtigen Themenfeld widmet sich der vorliegende Sammelband, der den philosophischen und theologischen Rahmen absteckt und die zahlreichen einzelnen Problemfelder der ökologischen, juristischen, militärischen, ökonomischen und anderen Dimensionen behandelt. Ausgewiesene Fachleute aus dem Umkreis der Forschungsstätte der Evangelischen Studiengemeinschaft in Heidelberg erforschen ein Terrain, das uns noch lange beschäftigen wird.

"This important new book fills a large gap in legal literature by examining restitution in private international law,including both the jurisdiction and choice of law questions facing restitutionary claims with international elements. The book begins with a brief summary of the English domestic law of restitution and highlights some of the issues which may arise. It goes on to examine classification, or characterisation of restitutionary claims. Restitution has a theoretical unity which enables the author to treat it essentially as a single issue for characterisation purposes. However, restitutionary claims arise in the context of contracts and wrongs; they may be at law or in equity; they may give rise to personal or proprietary remedies, whilst they may be contingent on tracing. Each of these contexts is analysed separately for the purposes of characterisation. The central part of the book examines the choice of law rule for restitutionary issues, and reviews the different approaches adopted in the US and UK and in other parts of the common law world. After weighing the merits of the different approaches the author adopts a choice of law rule for restitutionary issues which is the proper law of the unjust factor. Depending on whether the unjust factor is event-based or law-based, the choice of law rule will focus on either the law of the place, or alternatively, the legal system with which the unjust factor has its closest and most real connection. Jurisdiction is an area of increasing importance in private international law and the book provides a thorough analysis of the topic of jurisdiction for restitutionary claims, both under the Brussels Convention as well as the traditional common law rules contained in the Civil Procedure Rules. This is an important and timely new work for all lawyers interested in restitution, private international law and international commercial litigation."--Bloomsbury Publishing

This incisive book provides an extensive analysis of the robust array of international law applicable across the spectrum of international conflict and security. With a particular focus on new and emerging technologies and domains such as cyber and outer space, Laurie Blank illustrates how international conflict and security law applies to 21st century challenges. From conflict prevention to the use of force, the law of armed conflict to transitional justice, this book offers an in-depth examination of how these legal frameworks address the most fundamental questions for security at the human, national and international levels: how to prevent and reduce escalation of conflict; how to protect States, their territory and their core national interests; how to protect individuals and their rights; how to maintain and restore international peace; how to resolve conflicts; and how to promote justice and reconciliation after conflict. Overall, the book creates a multifaceted and insightful picture of how the international legal system functions as a comprehensive – if still sometimes fractured – framework.
