"This cutting-edge work critiques today's global mediascape through feminist perspectives, highlighting concerns of policy, power, labor, and technology. Starting with the general state of international communication, the book uses feminist political-economic and policy analyses to explore the globalization of media industries, including questions about women's employment and media content that is globally produced and consumed. An interdisciplinary group of authors covers cases on pornography and explicit material, political participation and democracy, policies for women's development, violence against women, labor practices and information workers, print media and publishing, and more."--Jacket

BACKGROUND: The magnitude of the noncommunicable epidemic is difficult to overstate. The projected cost of the epidemic is substantial. It disproportionately affects people in low- and middle-income countries as well as poorer and marginalised communities in high-income countries. The international community has taken various steps to address the four modifiable risk factors causing the majority of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), however, action has so far fallen short of expectations. Both analysts and international institutions are advocating the adoption of a new international legal norm to address the NCD crisis. MAIN TEXT: Drawing on existing knowledge from international relations and international legal studies, this article argues that a new international treaty is not only currently improbable, but also not strictly desirable. In-depth critical analysis and reflection is needed regarding the strengths and weaknesses of a legal approach to addressing the NCD pandemic. The argument is set out in three sections - the first reviews contributions of agentic constructivism, which focus on the process of normative emergence and change, and draws on empirical examples to highlight overlooked aspects of normative development and how they relate to NCD politics. The second engages with the critique of legal principles. Critical approaches to law seek to expose the myths that legal principles are neutral, objective, good. The third section discusses the characteristics of practice in the NCD field and its implications on process and principles for the pursuit of a legal solution to the NCD crisis. CONCLUSIONS: Any advocacy for an international norm to address NCDs needs to be nuanced and demonstrate awareness of the nature and character of both the norm development process and resulting international legal principles. As analysts, we are responsible for advocating inclusive and ethical norms, but also for highlighting the implications of inequalities and differences between and within states and societies.

Résumé Le droit international est le fruit de luttes d'intérêts dont il vise à réguler les rapports. Le passage d'un monde bipolaire à un système unipolaire, dominé par la puissance des États-Unis, a profondément remis en cause l'ordre juridique établi, menant aujourd'hui à une véritable crise du droit international. Les systèmes de sécurité collective et de coopération internationale sont les premiers menacés d'érosion par l'avènement de principes tels que le « droit d'intervention » ou la « guerre préventive ». Quels sont les intérêts en jeu dans cette évolution ? Qui en sont les acteurs : on observera en particulier le rôle de l'ONU, du FMI et du Conseil de sécurité. Quelles peuvent en être les conséquences ? Le droit international risque t-il de devenir un outil de domination des plus forts sur les plus faibles, voire un droit favorisant les intérêts privés sur l'intérêt général ?

In der internationalen Klimapolitik soll 2021 vieles nachgeholt werden, was 2020 nicht gelungen ist. Durch die Pandemie haben sich Termine verschoben und Prozesse verlangsamt. Wo stehen die wichtigen Akteure in der Klimapolitik zu Beginn des Jahres und was be­deu­tet dies für die zu erwartende Dynamik in den internationalen Gesprächen? Von der EU, den USA und China werden in diesem Jahr die wichtigen Impulse ausgehen. Da diese drei Mächte aber auch in Konkurrenz zueinander stehen, muss es der EU und ihren Mitglied­staaten gelingen, die multilaterale Zusammen­arbeit insgesamt mit Blick auf die Ziele des Pariser Abkommens zu stärken, klare An­sprüche zu formulieren und auf Einhaltung der Augenhöhe zu achten. Für Deutschland und die EU ist es deshalb wichtig, weiterhin entschieden auf ein gemeinsames Vorgehen in Netzwerken mit Partnerländern zu setzen und mit Blick auf die USA auf Kernthemen zu fokussieren. Naheliegende Felder der Kooperation mit Washington sind ein gemeinsamer diplomatischer Ansatz für die nächste internationale Klimakonferenz (COP26) und ein Zusammenführen von Klima- und Handelspolitik.

The tendency in recent world history toward the establishment of political parties based on class or racial ideologies in which no place of respect is given to established territorial boundaries has greatly intensified the problem of the responsibility of states in connection with international propaganda. Two main questions arise: (1) Are states themselves obliged under international law to refrain from spreading propaganda in a foreign country hostile to its government? and (2) Are they obliged to use due diligence to prevent private individuals and organizations from engaging in such activity? The purpose of this study is to seek the answer to these questions through an analysis of the sources of international law referred to in Article 38 of the Statute of the Permanent Court of International Justice: (a) international conventions, (b) diplomatic exchanges, giving evidence of international custom, (c) general principles embodied in municipal laws and judicial decisions, and (d) the attitude of writers on international law. Treatment of the subject will begin here with the period of the French Revolution and will be limited to peace-time political propaganda. The problem is, of course, much older and broader than these limits suggest, but it is believed that their extension would not contribute materially to the purpose at hand.
