"Les Relations internationales suscitent un intérêt croissant auprès des étudiants qui, dans leur vie professionnelle à venir, seront quotidiennement au contact du monde extérieur. La discipline se présente ainsi comme un enseignement de synthèse, destiné à intégrer la dimension extérieure des différents cursus universitaires. Cet ouvrage d'introduction aux Relations internationales se présente donc comme un instrument d'accompagnement des étudiants des instituts d'études politiques, des facultés de droit et d'économie ainsi qu'aux élèves des classes préparatoires. Afin de mieux appréhender les caractéristiques du monde contemporain, celui-ci a été abordé à partir de quatre « scènes » distinctes : - la scène de la société interétatique est le domaine privilégié des diplomaties ; - la scène des organisations internationales permet de comprendre comment la coopération intergouvernementale peut, sous certaines conditions, se transformer en intégration supranationale ; - la scène de la société transnationale analyse les conséquences de l'ouverture des sociétés internes sur le monde ; - enfin, la scène de l'économie-monde est le domaine d'expansion du marché qui organise l'interdépendance des nations. La prise en compte des dimensions historique, politique, économique, sociologique et juridique des Relations internationales vise ainsi à comprendre le rôle des multiples acteurs impliqués dans la structuration du monde contemporain, lequel oscille en permanence entre coopération et compétition."

"This book discusses the international right to water and the liberalization of water services. It is concerned with the harmonization of the right to water with the legal systems under which liberalization of water services has taken or may take place. It assesses paths of harmonization between international human rights law and international economic law in this specific field. The issue of the compatibility between the fulfilment of the right to water and the liberalization of water services has been at the heart of a passionate public debate between opponents and advocates of the privatization of the utility. The book provides an unbiased analysis of different international legal regimes under which the liberalization of water services has occurred or is likely to occur, notably international investment law, international trade law, and European Union law, in order to assess whether the main features of the right to water can be guaranteed under each of these systems of law and whether there is space for prospective harmonization"--Publisher's description.

Outstanding and thought-provoking, this book highlights the (unilateral) use of force in international relations, the chances and risks of international criminal justice, and the question of epistemic violence. It contributes to a better understanding of the relation between power and justice in view of current global tensions while reflecting the work of the internationally acclaimed philosopher Hans Köchler.

A guide to the experiences of economic reform since the second World War, and system reform and economic integration across the world in the past decade. The first part of the book examines why only a small number of developing countries have succeeded in their modernization attempts this century. What lessons can be learnt from the successes of the East Asian NIEs and failures of other economies to emulate them? The very different experiences of the transition to market economies in the former socialist countries of Eastern Europe and China is the focus of the next section, with comparisons drawn with the Latin American reform experience, especially in Chile. The effects of economic integration schemes are examined in the final sector, with case-studies of Tunisia and Morocco's Free Trade Agreements with the EU, and of economic integration and the Arab-Israeli peace process.
