Multilaterale internationale Abkommen haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten stark zugenommen. Doch wie genau laufen Verhandlungsprozesse zu solchen Konventionen ab? Was sind entscheidende Erfolgsfaktoren? Wie kann ein einzelner Verhandlungsteilnehmer am besten Einfluss nehmen? Das vorliegende Werk untersucht systematisch, wie multilaterale Verhandlungen am besten gesteuert werden können. Anhand von zwei komplexen internationalen Verhandlungen im Kontext der Vereinten Nationen werden entscheidende Erfolgsfaktoren untersucht und bewertet. Ein Leitfaden am Ende des Buches gibt Hinweise darauf, wie die Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit von komplexen internationalen Verhandlungen gesteigert werden kann. Das Buch richtet sich insbesondere an Ministerialbeamte, Diplomaten und Vertreter von NGOs und internationalen Organisationen, die an Verhandlungen zu internationalen Vertragswerken beteiligt sind. Der Autor ist Jurist und Politikwissenschaftler und arbeitet als Unternehmensberater zu den Themen Kommunikation und Verhandlungen

The International Wheat Council held its twenty-ninth session in London, April 5–12, 1960, under the chairmanship of Sir Edwin McCarthy (Australia), for the purpose of reviewing the world wheat situation in accordance with Article 21 of the 1959 International Wheat Agreement. Representatives of 30 countries or territories attended the meeting, along with observers from the UN, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and the European Economic Community. According to the press, the results of the first annual review of the world wheat situation, published on May 25, 1960, confirmed that the national wheat policies of the majority of exporting and importing countries were in open conflict with international realities, inasmuch as the world wheat market had been overshadowed for the past five years by burdensome surpluses and, despite government-assisted programs which had raised the volume of world wheat and flour exports to over 30 million metric tons a season, there was no prospect that the imbalance between supplies and demand would disappear during the next five years.

International Telegraph and Telephone Conference: The International Telegraph and Telephone Conference was held in Paris from May 23 to August 4, 1949 to amend the regulations drawn up at Cairo in 1938. In addition the conference considered questions referred to it by the International Telegraph Consultative Committee. Attention was concentrated on two items: unification of categories of telegrams; and tariff principles. The number of categories of telegrams was reduced from five to three, and all member countries were granted freedom to fix their own terminal and transit rates, as the conference abolished the Cairo regulation which had imposed restrictive rates for countries in the European system in their relations with countries in the extra-European system. The conference devised rules and a method of calculating rentals applicable to the joint use of circuits operated by start-stop apparatus in the European civil aviation system. The telephone regulations devised applied only to countries within the European system, whereas the telegraphy regulations were applicable throughout the world.

While resistance to international courts is not new, what is new, or at least newly conceptualized, is the politics of backlash against these institutions. Saving the International Justice Regime: Beyond Backlash against International Courts is at the forefront of this new conceptualization of backlash politics. It brings together theories, concepts and methods from the fields of international law, international relations, human rights and political science and case studies from around the globe to pose - and answer - three questions related to backlash against international courts: What is backlash and what forms does it take? Why do states and elites engage in backlash against international human rights and criminal courts? What can stakeholders and supporters of international justice do to meet these contemporary challenges?

Publié sous le titre "L'invention des relations internationales" ; National audience ; Issue de la science politique, la récente discipline Relations internationale s'est constituée dès la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale dans un but noble : favoriser la paix, avant de privilégier des objectifs de connaissance. Elle intégre progressivement des théories et des éléments d'analyse issus d'autres sciences sociales, qui pevent introduire un danger de dissolution. Mais ce dynamisme est le signe d'une grande vitalité de la part d'une discipline cruciale afin de comprendre le monde.

During the last decade, international trade has witnessed a dramatic transition from a field dominated by theory to one dominated by empirics linked to theory. In this volume, Professor Bernhofen has selected an impressive range of critical papers by leading academics which have contributed significantly to making international trade an empirical science. The included topics are empirical studies on comparative advantage, the Heckscher-Ohlin model, monopolistic competition, gravity models, firms and plant trade and networks and institutions. The papers in this collection serve as an excellent introduction to the literature as well as an essential reference for research in empirical trade

Sozialstaaten sind auf die Angleichung der Lebensverhältnisse und den Schutz der Bürger ("soziale Sicherung") ausgerichtet. Die Autorin gibt einen kompakten Überblick über die Sozialpolitikanalyse. Studierende werden mit den wesentlichen Theorien bzw. Konzepten und institutionellen Variationen des Sozialstaats vertraut gemacht. Der deutsche Sozialstaat steht dabei im Mittelpunkt und wird in den internationalen Kontext eingeordnet.

To what extent does the Erie doctrine apply in an international context? In his article When Erie Goes International, Professor Childress argues that a federal court choosing between state law and the law of a foreign nation should often (or perhaps always) ignore Klaxon Co. v. Stentor Electric Manufacturing Co. and use federal choice of law rules rather than the rules of the state where the federal court is located. In this Essay, I have three points to make in response. The first is that Childress's article, even if successful, leaves the bulk of the Erie doctrine unchanged in an international context. His arguments are directed solely to Klaxon and choice of law. The second point is that most of his arguments fail to give us a reason to question Klaxon's applicability in an international context. The only argument that has any success is based on the idea that the choice between state and foreign law implicates federal interests in foreign relations. The third point is that even this argument has only very limited success. Federal interests in foreign relations will rarely override Klaxon's command.

In preparation for the 34th session of the International Labor Conference, the International Labor Organization published recently four reports covering the following topics: 1) industrial relations, 2) equal remuneration for men and women workers for work of equal value, 3) minimum wage fixing machinery in agriculture, and 4) objectives and minimum standards of social security. The reports on the first three topics contained summaries of the proceedings of the 33rd General Conference relevant to them, while the report on the fourth subject envisaged adoption of a new general convention on social security.

The International Sugar Agreement of 1937 established the International Sugar Council to deal with problems concerning sugar surpluses and sugar distribution. The agreement, entered into for a period of four years by the twenty-two principal sugar importing and exporting states, was renewed by protocols in 1942, 1944, and 1945. According to the last two protocols, the original agreement was to be revised "as soon as the time appears opportune" and although a proposal for redrafting the agreement was made in January, 1946, no action had been taken on the matter by April, 1947.
