Competition and Intellectual Property Law in the Pharmaceutical Sector' deals with the apparent contradiction between intellectual property (IP) rights (particularly patents) and competition law, with a focus on the pharmaceutical sector: in its aim to promote innovation and long-term competition, the patent system in fact provides a temporary right to exclude. The book explores the possibility of adjusting patent policies to better account for the trade-off between static and dynamic welfare and minimize the risks of anticompetitive behaviour, which happens with the misuse of patents. This book, the first to deal with this issue on a global basis, tackles the clashes of case law by Courts and antitrust enforcement by competition authorities that undermine the predictability of solutions to this problem and increase the risk of fundamental rights violations and excessive transitional costs for enterprises

Alors qu'il est question ces derniers temps d'une éventuelle révision des Statuts de la Croix-Rouge internationale de 1952 et de l'Accord entre le CICR et la Ligue de 1969–1974, la Revue internationale a pensé intéressant et utile de demander à M. André Durand, ancien deélégue du CICR et historien, auteur du deuxième tome «De Sarajevo à Hiroshima» de l'Histoire du Comité international de la Croix-Rouge, d'écrire un article sur l'histoire de ces Statuts et de cet Accord. Le lecteur trouvera dans ce travail les événements, les conceptions diverses et les expériences vécues par nos devanciers, qui ont motivé l'origine et marqué les étapes successives dans la rédaction et l'évolution de ces textes.

"This book investigates two critical political science domains: international negotiation processes and the establishment of good governance practices, using real-world examples. The author's observations, analyses, and recommendations provide a unique blend of researcher and practitioner experiences which were implemented in conjunction with government authorities, businesses, the media, and citizen groups in over 40 countries. The book examines negotiation process dynamics from several perspectives: the inclusion of new actors; the impact of psychology, creativity, and values; the significance of post-agreement negotiations; and how negotiations that resolve civil wars need to incorporate explicit good governance provisions. From the governance perspective, the book analyzes the age-old problem of corruption that is often a major factor responsible for bad governance practices, economic dysfunctions, and widespread poverty. It explores the importance of strengthening citizen advocacy for reforms; designing and implementing anti-corruption strategies for fragile states; customizing anti-corruption strategies through targeted risk assessments; and deconstructing the negotiation give-and-take in corrupt transactions to reduce their impact. Each chapter incorporates the author's practitioner experiences with his research contributions, along with examples of events he experienced when implementing programs around the world. This unique volume will be used in university courses on international negotiation, conflict resolution, international development, and comparative politics, as well as providing a useful resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, NGOs, donor organizations, and grant-giving organizations"--

This book examines military and civilian actors in international interventions and offers a new analytical framework to apply on such interventions. While it is frequently claimed that success in international interventions hinges largely on military-civilian coherence, cooperation has proven challenging to achieve in practice. This book examines why this is the case, by analysing various approaches employed by military and civilian actors and discussing the different relationships between the intervening actors and those upon whom they have intervened. The work analyses different military concepts, such as peacekeeping and counterinsurgency, and the often-troubled relationship between the humanitarian and military intervening actors. It presents a new analytical framework to examine these relationships based on identification theory, which illuminates how the interveners represent those they have been deployed to engage, as well as their own identity and role. As such the book offers an enhanced understanding of the challenges related to civil-military cooperation in international interventions, as well as a theoretical contribution to the study of interventions, more generally.
