This is the first book in the Interdisciplinary European Studies collection. This volume provides an interdisciplinary perspective on trust in the EU from the vantage point of political science, law and economics. It applies insights from a number of different dimensions - political institutions, legal convergence in criminal and civil law, social trust, digitalization, the diffusion of political values and norms, monetary convergence and the legitimacy of political systems - to approach the highly complex issue of trust in the EU in a clear-sighted, relevant and insightful manner. Written by renowned experts in the field, the style is accessible and reader-friendly, yet concise, knowledgeable and thought-provoking. The individual chapters combine up-to-date research findings with reflections on on-going political debates and offer useful, concrete ideas on what steps the EU could take to address the challenge of trust. The book provides the reader with invaluable insights into how trust, or rather the lack of trust, poses a challenge to the future of the social, economic and political developments in the EU. It is a must-read for policy-makers, students and interested members of the public who feel concerned by the future of Europe.--

Дается анализ организационных и функциональных процессов профессиональных юридических объединений в дореволюционный период. Выявлены и рассмотрены объективные и субъективные условия консолидации правового сообщества в исследуемый период. Рассмотрение юридических обществ дается в разрезе их научной и практической деятельности. Дается оценка диалога институтов публичной власти и юридических обществ, выраженных в недостаточном количестве теоретических изысканий юридических обществ на практике. Делается вывод о том, что заслугой обществ можно признать направление внимания к реализации права, практической значимости правовых идей и то, что юристов интересовали крестьянский вопрос, земское и городское самоуправление, проблемы административного, уголовного и финансового права. Отмечается, что мысли и воззрения юристов-теоретиков находили свое воплощение во множестве докладов, статей, рефератов, публикуемых в различных изданиях, в т. ч. в собственных изданиях юридических обществ. Деятельность юридических обществ отражает либерально-демократические движения объединений теоретиков и практиков в области права, что далеко не всегда поддерживалось со стороны государства. Поэтому, несмотря на высокую активность юридических обществ в теоретической области, практического закрепления идеи представителей юридических обществ в нормах позитивного права не получали. ; The analysis of organizational and functional processes of professional legal associations during the pre-revolutionary period is given. Objective and subjective conditions of consolidation of legal community during the studied period are sun-dried and considered. Consideration of legal societies is given in a section them to scientific and practical activities. The assessment of dialogue of institutes of the public power and the legal societies expressed in insufficient number of theoretical researches of legal societies in practice is given. The conclusion that as a merit of societies it is possible to recognize the direction of attention to realization of the right, the practical importance of legal ideas and that interested lawyers a country question, territorial and city self-government, problems of the administrative, criminal and financial law is drawn. It is noted that thoughts and views of lawyers-theorists found the embodiment in a set of reports, articles, the papers published in various editions, including in own editions of legal societies. Activity of legal societies reflects the liberal and democratic movements of associations of theorists and practitioners in the field of the right that wasn't always supported from the state. Therefore, despite high activity of legal societies in theoretical area, practical fixing of idea of representatives of legal societies in norms the positive law wasn't acquired.

This book examines the South China Sea Arbitration between the Philippines and China, widely hailed as a landmark case in the law of the sea. Stefan Talmon argues that while the Tribunal assembled international lawyers of the highest repute and unrivalled experience, the case was nevertheless decided wrongly. He examines every step of the proceedings and critically engages with both the Philippines' submissions and the Tribunal's rulings. He finds that the Tribunal was lacking jurisdiction to decide the case, that some of the Philippines' claims were also inadmissible, and that the Tribunal's awards were tainted with procedural errors
