Introducing the special issue, this paper provides a state-of-The-Art on established and new trends in the study of international retirement migration (IRM) and summarises the five papers that follow. Early studies on IRM were mainly within Europe and drew on the conceptual framework of lifestyle migration, with some reference to the transnational and mobilities paradigms. New frontiers in IRM are presented under three heads. Firstly, new geographical frontiers extend IRM to new destinations within and proximate to Europe, and to new locations in the global South such as Thailand and Ecuador. Secondly, new typological frontiers involve a broadening of the class and wealth backgrounds of the retirees, including the 'return of retirement' of labour migrants to their countries of origin, and attentiveness to IRM's gendered aspects. Thirdly, new conceptual and theoretical frontiers of IRM involve a more in-depth investigation of its transnational aspects, exploration of the various regimes of mobility and, most importantly, a political economy perspective which stresses global inequalities and histories of colonialism in shaping access to privileged lifestyles. In the final part of the paper, the original features of each paper in the special issue are highlighted, demonstrating how they are collectively integrated and contribute to the advancement of IRM research.

Au mois de juin dernier a en lieu à Paris un congrès international des infirmières.En 1900 déjà, réunies une première fois, elles avaient constitué une association générale, intitulée «Conseil international des infirmières», et ayant pour but de créer un lien entre les infirmières de toutes nations, de leur faciliter l'hospitalité internationale, et de leur fournir l'occasion de se rencontrer en conférences pour traiter des questions intéressant le soin des malades. Les membres sont les conseils nationaux d'infirmières, formés d'institutions d'infirmières, et les membres honoraires seront des infirmières diplômées.

"International commitments may sit uneasily with national pressures in the best of times. This age of economic uncertainty brings these tensions into sharper relief. This volume draws together thirteen analyses of this tension in a wide array of contexts, including each of the three main pillars of the World Trade Organization, international investment law and arbitration, and the international financial institutions. The essays feature internationally recognised experts addressing topical examples of international economic law obligations clashing with domestic political interests. For example, Professor Robert Howse, of New York University Law School, addresses issues of globalisation and whether international and national interests can in today's world be considered separate, while Ko-Yung Tung, former Director-General of the World Bank, looks at trends in investment treaty arbitration and considers what the future may hold in light of the recent financial crisis, the rise of China as an economic powerhouse, and other factors"--

Die digitale Transformation verändert nicht nur unsere Lebenswirklichkeit und unsere Wirtschaft, sondern birgt auch enorme Herausforderungen für das internationale Besteuerungssystem. Derzeit gelingt es besonders Betreibern digitaler Geschäftsmodelle durch exzessive Gestaltungen Steuern zu vermeiden. Der Autor untersucht in seiner Arbeit, wie zukünftig eine sachgerechte Besteuerung global agierender Digitalkonzerne sichergestellt werden kann. -- Dafür analysiert er eingangs ihre Spezifika und die Funktionsweise ihrer derzeitigen Besteuerung. Im Weiteren wird ein Bewertungsschema entwickelt, das dogmatische wie praktische, nationale wie internationale und juristische wie rechtsgebietsübergreifende Kriterien beinhaltet. Die Arbeit erörtert sodann die drei Arten vorhandener Lösungsansätze – Marktfaktoren als Anknüpfungspunkte im Rahmen der Ertragsteuer, Sondersteuern auf digitale Aktivitäten und das System einer globalen Mindestbesteuerung – anhand der zuvor dargelegten Prämissen und führt die Ergebnisse zuletzt einer vergleichenden Gesamtbetrachtung zu. / »Connecting Factors for the Taxation of Digital Business Models in International Income Tax Law«: The digital transformation also poses challenges for the international tax system. The treatise examines how appropriate taxation of globally operating digital corporations can be ensured in the future. To this end, it analyzes their specifics as well as the functioning of their current taxation and considers the various approaches to a solution - market nexus, digital tax and global minimum taxation - on the basis of dogmatic and practical, national and international as well as legal and cross-jurisdictional criteria.

In the context of intensifying nationalism and protectionism and a reconfiguration of the global value chains, the worlds leading economies find themselves confronted with significant challenges. To address these issues, this book builds on conceptual and empirical analysis and makes a case for interdisciplinary research that connects International Business (IB) and International Security (IS) domains. Employing the concept of geostrategy and using multi-level approaches to explain the interaction among various players in IB and IS, the authors examine the implications that IB and IS disciplines provide to each other. This book is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in international business, international relations, international security, and international political economy and answers the growing call for an interdisciplinary research approach to promoting critical thinking in the rapidly evolving international business and security environment.
