'This book stands out through its insightful conceptual and empirical analysis enlightening the multi-institutional nature of international climate politics. It is an indispensable asset for the bookshelves of all those interested in understanding and managing the fragmentation and complexity of global climate governance.'--Professor Dr. Sebastian Oberthür, Institute for European Studies, Vrije Universiteit Brussel. 'As policymakers embark on the design of an even more comprehensive climate change regime, understanding the way in which existing rules and institutions have interacted will be crucial. Harro van Asselt's analysis provides an essential guide to where we have been and how far we must still go to design a coherent response to a complex and fragmented challenge.'--Jacob Werksman, Directorate-General for Climate Action, European Commission. 'How do the different international institutions addressing climate change interact? What are the actual and potential synergies and conflicts? What are the most effective strategies to manage institutional interplay? Harro van Asselt's expertise in both international law and international relations, as well as his intimate knowledge of the policy-making process, make him ideally equipped to address these fundamental questions. Based on detailed case studies, he provides a wide-ranging, lucid, and theoretically sophisticated study of climate change governance. Essential reading for international lawyers and international relations scholars alike.'--Dan Bodansky, Arizona State University, US. The fragmented state of global climate governance poses major challenges to policymakers and scholars alike. Through an in-depth examination of regime interactions between the international climate regime and three other regimes (on clean technology, biodiversity and international trade), this book provides novel and timely insights into the various consequences of regime interactions. It also offers a critical discussion of the potential for legal techniques and institutional coordination to foster synergies and mitigate conflicts between regimes in the area of climate change. Providing an in-depth examination of institutional fragmentation and regime interactions in global climate change governance, this unique book links the literature on institutional interactions and interplay management to the discussions on the fragmentation of international law. It contains the first comparison of different types of interactions a ...

Nestled in the SWAT valley lies Pakistan's earliest known deradicalization initiative for former militants, the Mishal Deradicalization and Emancipation Program (DREP). The Deradicalization program was launched following a military operation in 2009 against the Pakistan wing of the Taliban, namely, the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The program aimed to deradicalize and rehabilitate arrested militants, with what officials claim is a 99 percent success rate and with more than 2,500 former Taliban fighters now 'reformed'. The program abides by a 'no blood on hand' policy, whereby it only takes in militants who have not caused any bodily harm to others. In this paper, we analyze the deradicalization program and highlight the limits and challenges it faces. The paper also highlights the common individual and environmental factors among the beneficiary population of the deradicalization program. This study finds that most participants of the program belonged to large or broken families with weak socio-economic profiles. Additionally, these individuals had very little technical knowledge of religion. This study also finds that the program is more oriented towards re-integration rather than deradicalization due to its policy of inducting only low and mid-level cadre militants. The program also has other severe limitations including lack of credible religious scholars, limited financial and human resources.

The article traced the essence of Polish influence in the Right-Bank Ukraine during the late XVIII – first half of XIX ages; based on research of domestic and foreign authors analyzed the state of modern historical literature according to this issue.In the context of the study of the Polish factor in international relations of Right-Bank Ukraine in a certain historical period the essence, the character of international relations defined as coexistence between Ukrainians as native residents of this region with Russians, Poles and Jews. The share of other ethnic groups was not significant, because they did not play a weighty role in international relations of Right Bank region.The main axis of international relations in the region during the late XVIII – first half of XIX ages took place between the Polish landowners and Ukrainian peasants-serfs. Former Polish landowners received the status of Russian nobles and under the patronage of the Russian authority performed the feudal oppression of Ukrainian peasants. Some authors draw attention to the lesser-known issue of the essence of Polish factor in the region (D. Bovua, B. Hud', A. Filinyuk, N. Scherbak et al.). In particular, D. Bovua exploring the so-called triangle: the Russian authority – the Polish gentry – Ukrainian peasants, drew attention to the lack of issue's research due to interconnection between Polish magnate tops and Russian authorities. A. Filinyuk when considering the development of traditions and social transformations in Right-Bank Ukraine focuses on the nature of the alliance amid the Russian authorities and Polish magnate tops.Polish factor in the context of international relations in the Right Bank studied not enough. There is a need for deeper research of the cultural and educational life, language issues, confessional relations, socio-economic and political problems related to the essence of Polish influence. ; W artykule ślady istotę wpływów polskich w prawobrzeżnej Ukrainy końcaXVIII – początku XIX wieku.

"This major new textbook for students in European law uses a text, cases and materials approach to explore the law, politics, policy and practice of EU external relations, and navigates the complex questions at the interface of these areas. The subject is explored by explaining major constitutional principles, and elaborating upon them in policy-specific chapters ranging from common commercial policy and development policy over CFSP/CSDP and AFSJ to energy and enlargement policy. Specific attention is given to the relationship between European integration, the role of law, and the EU as an effective international actor. Designed for easy navigation, chapters include key objectives, summaries and textboxes, which frame key issues and guide the reader through the functioning of legal principles. Students gain a detailed understanding of the historical development, context and present functioning of EU external relations law in a highly politicised European and international environment"--

This work is a comparative study of domestic implementation of Security Council mandatory sanctions taken under Article 41, Chapter VII of the UN Charter, including the establishment of the two international criminal tribunals, the ICTY and ICTR, and recent resolutions on the combating of the financing of terrorism. The book examines implementation in 16 select States in Europe, America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa, underlining also the particular problems arising from sanctions implementation by the European Union, by a permanently neutral and former non-Member State - Switzerland - and by States confronted with special economic problems within the meaning of Article 50 of the UN Charter. Three interrelated themes are addressed. The first, of a theoretical nature, concerns the question of whether implementation of Security Council resolutions, particularly where perceived to be in fulfilment of community objectives, poses problems which are in some way distinct from those raised by the implementation of other conventional international law obligations, thereby shedding a different light on the traditional relationship between international and municipal law. The second concerns the effectiveness of the decisions of the Security Council viewed from the perspective of the effective mise en œuvre of these decisions in national law. The third theme concerns the legitimacy of Security Council resolutions as seen from the viewpoint of domestic legal systems, that is the extent to which Security Council decisions encroach on internationally or constitutionally protected individual rights and the potential role played by domestic courts in reviewing the decisions of the Security Council. The latter has assumed particular importance in the framework of the combating of the financing of terrorism. This work, which brings together the research results of 29 academics and experts, is the second publication within the framework of a project on Security Council sanctions carried out under the auspices of the Graduate Institute of International Studies. The first, which looked at a broad set of issues, was entitled United Nations Sanctions and International Law and was published by Kluwer Law International in 2001
