This is the authoritative introduction to the International Criminal Court, fully updated in this sixth edition. The book covers the legal framework of the Court, the cases that it has heard and that are still to come, and the political debates surrounding its operation. It is written by one of the major authorities on the subject, in language accessible to non-specialists. The sixth edition brings legal references fully up to date in light of the Court's case law. Several trials have now been completed, with four convictions and a number of controversial acquittals. The book also discusses the situations that the Court is currently investigating, including Palestine, Georgia, Ukraine, Venezuela and the UK in Iraq, as well as the decision by a Pre-Trial Chamber not to authorise an investigation into Afghanistan. It also looks into the crisis with African states and the hostility of the United States to the institution.

Socio-cultural factors – shared values, norms and attitudes are significant, but less acknowledged sources of international competitiveness. Previous studies have found socio-cultural factors positively affecting various aspects of international competitiveness – entrepreneurship, innovation, productivity and international cooperation. These factors are more sustainable and less affected by external environment changes in comparison with the traditional factors. Socio-cultural factors provide an opportunity to develop competitiveness strategies based on unique advantages. This research aims to explore the impact of socio-cultural factors on international competiveness in small, open economies. Analysing relationship between 400 socio-cultural indicators and competitiveness indicators such as productivity, economic development, business and government efficiency, innovation capacity and infrastructure in 37 countries, six socio-cultural factors have emerged: Collectivism and Hierarchy; Future, Cooperation and Performance Orientation, Self-expression, Monochronism and Rationality, Economic Orientation and Social structure. The first factor – Collectivism and Hierarchy – tends to reduce the international competitiveness; the other five affect it positively.

Felix Graulich liefert eine umfassende Darstellung von Stellung, Aufgaben und Funktion von Generalbundesanwalt und Bundeskriminalamt. Im Mittelpunkt geht es um die Frage, in welchem Verhältnis GBA und BKA stehen, wenn der Bereich des internationalen Terrorismus betroffen ist. Um diese Frage zu beantworten wird die Gesetzeslage ebenso analysiert, wie auch aktuelle Fälle aus dem Bereich des internationalen Terrorismus betrachtet. Zudem wird die Stellung beider Behörden in den Kontext ihrer geschichtlichen Entwicklung gestellt. -- Dabei beschäftigt sich der Autor insbesondere mit den Auswirkungen der Ausweitung der präventiven Kompetenzen des BKA im Bereich des internationalen Terrorismus. Er zeigt auf, welche Konfliktpunkte im Verhältnis beider Behörden dadurch entstehen können und wie sich das Verhältnis der Behörden zueinander dadurch verändert hat. Dabei zeigt sich, dass der Versuch einer Abgrenzung zwischen präventiver Abwehr terroristischer Bedrohung und der repressiven Strafverfolgung von sog. terroristischen Vereinigungen schwierige Rechtsfragen aufwirft. -- Die Besonderheit dieser Arbeit liegt nicht zuletzt darin, dass sie sich auf zwei Interviews stützen kann, die im Jahr 2010 mit GBA und BKA geführt wurden, wodurch nicht nur das rechtliche, sondern auch das tatsächliche Verhältnis beider Behörden in das Blickfeld genommen wird

"This book provides a comprehensive discussion of the economics of International Trade. Key questions related to why countries trade, how they gain from trade, and how international trade can produce winners and losers are answered. The last of these questions is related to the connection of trade to inequality in the distribution of income. The book uses both theoretical models and empirical evidence to answer these questions. It also provides a discussion of the economics of labor migration and international capital mobility. The book also provides a detailed discussion of the welfare implications of various trade policy instruments such as tariffs, quotas, export subsidies etc. This is followed by a discussion of the process of actual policymaking in democratic societies which goes into the realm of political economy. The focus here is on the political economy of trade policy. It also provides a discussion of the economics of preferential trading agreements and a history of multilateral trading agreements under the aegis of GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) and its evolution into the World Trade Organization (WTO)"--Publisher's website
