Der Beitrag beschreibt die Bemühung Chinas um rechtliche Einbindung in das Geflecht des internationalen und transnationalen Rechts im Zuge des Globalisierungsprozesses. So wird im ersten Schritt zunächst die chinesische Rechtskultur in ihrer historischen Entwicklung und ihren Grundzügen dargestellt. Der zweite Schritt beleuchtet die moderne Juristenausbildung an chinesischen Universitäten, die sich an internationalen Standards orientiert. Im Anschluss gilt das Augenmerk der voranschreitenden Kooperation im Rechtsbereich des Öffnungsprozesses in China im Verlauf der gesellschaftlichen Reformen. Im vierten Schritt wird schließlich als Beispiel für die institutionalisierten Kooperationsprojekte die Xiamen Academy of International Law vorgestellt, die sich als festes Forum für die akademische Weiterbildung und den wissenschaftlichen Dialog im international-rechtlichen Bereich einordnen lässt. In diesem Zusammenhang werden auch die Schwerpunkte des ersten Sommerkurses der Akademie vorgestellt, und zwar (1) Völkerrecht, (2) Wirtschaftsrecht und (3) internationales Recht. Mit der Errichtung der Xiamen Academy of International Law ist nach Ansicht des Autors China ein wichtiger Schritt gelungen, sich verstärkt in den international-rechtlichen Dialog einzubringen.

'Entrepreneurship provides a deep insight into the complex world of international new ventures in different cultural and institutional settings. Having conducted most of my research and teaching in this field, I am impressed by the quality and depth of this book. It is not only interesting from an academic perspective but also from a practitioner perspective as well. This book explains and synthesizes the most relevant topics that every person involved in international business and entrepreneurship should take into consideration.' - Christian Keen, VP Global Commerce Strategy, Stratekey Canal. 'This book is an important addition to the literature on International Entrepreneurship (IE). Edited by the founder of the McGill Conference series on IE and the hosts of the 14th annual conference, this collection challenges readers to push the boundaries of this emerging field and explore the implications of leadership, emerging economies, gender and family ownership for the internationalization of new ventures.' - Rod B. McNaughton, University of Auckland, New Zealand. The young field of international entrepreneurship is rapidly expanding in scope and complexity, as increasingly more companies across the world compete to gain a larger global market share and attract consumers both at home and abroad. This book, the fifth volume in the McGill International Entrepreneurship series, brings together 29 scholars and practitioners to explore the contemporary issues, evolving relations and dynamic forces that are shaping the new emerging entrepreneurial system in international markets. It examines entrepreneurial efforts and relations in many firms embedded in and constrained by different national and corporate cultures of their own and offers expert recommendations for further research, better managerial practice and more effective public policy approaches. The editors and contributors to this volume show how conventional theories of entrepreneurship and business do not fully address the challenges inherent in achieving and sustaining global competitiveness. Over the course of 11 research-based chapters, they detail rich frameworks and fresh solutions for navigating the complex and quickly evolving global business environment, providing insight into a number of current international entrepreneurship issues. These include high-growth and rapid internationalization, managerial leadership, born globals, the impact of networks, inter-organizational ties and knowledge intens ...

This volume presents a state of the art coverage of the measurement and evolution of mortality over time. It describes in great detail the changes in the cause patterns of mortality, the changes in mortality patterns at different ages, and specific analyses of mortality in particular countries. Derived from a meeting of the European Working Group on Health, Morbidity and Mortality held at the Vienna Institute of Demography, September 2011, it presents a cross-section of the work and concerns of mortality researchers across Europe, ranging from London and Madrid in the west to Moscow in the east, with a few additions from further afield. Although most of the papers focus on a particular population, the range of the papers is broad; taken together they present an inter-disciplinary cross-section of this multi-faceted field. Coverage includes estimating life expectancy in small areas, with an application to recent changes in US counties; socioeconomic determinants of mortality in Europe using the latest available data and short-term forecasts; predicting mortality from profiles of biological risk and performance measures of functioning; infant mortality measurement and rate of progress on international commitment using evidence from Argentina; avoidable factors contributing to maternal deaths in Turkey; changes in mortality at older ages: the case of Spain (1975- 2006); variable scales of avoidable mortality within the Russian population; long-term mortality decline in East Asia, and much more. Perspectives in Mortality Research will serve as a valuable resource for professionals and students in sociology, demography, public health and personal finance
