International sanctions, understood as coercive means imposed by the United Nations, or by States, individually or collectively, against a country responsible for violating fundamental rules of international law, have been extensively analysed in the legal literature.1 A survey of such literature shows that particular emphasis has been put on the nature of sanctions, their status in international law and the very controversial issue of the legality of their adoption either by regional organisations, or by a State motu proprio, unilaterally.

The idea that European integration involves 'spillover Effects' is almost as old as the EU Treaties themselves: the evolution of the Treaties from the narrow beginnings of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1952 was predicted by some contemporary sages to be the result of various political and economic spillovers from the operation of the ECSC, its policies and institutions. While this evolutionary road was not always as smooth as some might have liked, the advent of the European Economic Community and the European Atomic Energy Community Treaties in 1957 can be seen as at least in part a response to the growing economic and political interaction between states in Europe; and the subsequent evolution of EU law at the EU legislative and judicial level has oft en been Effected by the use of Treaty bases to respond to social and economic developments precipitated by the application of the general rules of those Treaties over time.

This article examines the way in which national law firms lobby the federal government from their Canberra offices. It is based on extensive interviews with lobbyists from those law firms, other commercial lobbyists in Canberra and legal professional bodies. The article begins by establishing the unique nature of law firm lobbying. In particular, it looks at the technical skills law firm lobbyists possess, their access to specialist legal knowledge and their preference for administrative, over political, lobbying. The development of law firm lobbying is then discussed. This centres around changes to the legal profession, federal business laws and federal government decision‐making. The article concludes by suggesting that law firm lobbying both reflects and stimulates changes in government decision‐making and will grow in importance as the legal profession in Canberra grows.

The Tallinn Manual on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Warfare (2013) sets out ninety-five 'black-letter rules' governing conflicts and the basis for each in treaty and customary law. An earlier version of this article considered the applicability of national law to cyberspace. Specifically, whether there was sufficient basis at a national law level to establish norms for acceptable behavior at an international level. The proposition being it is time for a new kind of international cooperation in relation to cyber warfare and acceptable norms of behavior in cyberspace. This article provides detail from various national statutes to illustrate how national law applies to cyberspace. Both papers consider the applicability of current national criminal and tort law by using hypothetical scenarios in relation to self-defence, conspiracy and corporate responsibility in the private sector. The intention is to encourage experts to cooperate internationally to recognise national rules equivalent to the Tallinn work.

Reform is an effort to reorient and reform something that will be pursued through policy. The development of national law is the process of building a legal system and its instruments. The development of national law must be able to replace all Dutch Colonial product laws replaced with their own product laws. Legal development cannot be separated from legal politics, because it is a direction in making and enforcing laws in order to achieve national goals and objectives.
