Institutional linkages--planned, long-term agreements between U's to cooperate along mutually beneficial lines--can form the basis for expanded & increasingly valuable international exchange. Categories of exchange & various forms of institutional linkages are described. Linkages offer advantages by encouraging planned use of resources &, particularly at unit levels within U's, drawing on new resources of support. They can add to the quality of both faculty & student exchange. In relations with some non-Western countries, institutional cooperative agreements based on gain for both sides are an appropriate & timely replacement for assistance contracts & can help to correct past deficiencies in exchange programs. Various means of encouraging productive higher educational relations between the US & other countries are under study. One alternative is the proposed Assoc for International Cooperation in Higher Education & Research, which would assist in the formation of institutional linkages. Modified HA.

The recent rise of international trade courts and tribunals deserves systemic study and in-depth analysis. This volume gathers contributions from experts specialised in different regional adjudicators of trade disputes and scrutinises their operations in the light of the often-debated legitimacy issues. It not only looks into prominent adjudicators that have played a significant role for global and regional integration; it also encloses the newly established and/or less-known judicial actors. Critical topics covered range from procedures and legal techniques during the adjudication process to the pre- and post-adjudication matters in relation to forum selection and decision implementation. The volume features cross-cutting interdisciplinary discussions among academics and practitioners, lawyers, philosophers and political scientists. In addition to fulfilling the research vacuum, it aims to address the challenges and opportunities faced in international trade adjudication.

In most countries, competition in the telecommunications industry is subject to both sector-specific regulation and more general antitrust policies. At the same time, a process of international market liberalisation is under way in telecommunications which can only be truly effective - and further advance - if appropriate competitive safeguards are in place. Trading partners should agree on certain minimum standards to be observed in this area in order to better combat anticompetitive conduct and avoid international conflicts. The Reference Paper to the WTO Agreement on Basic Telecommunications is an important step in this direction and may also serve as a model for other network industries. It is a framework of rules which has to be filled with concrete decisions in the fields of antitrust and regulation. More importantly, it must be complemented by multilateral competition rules of a more general nature. ; Der Wettbewerb im Telekommunikationssektor unterliegt in den meisten Ländern sowohl sektorspezifischer Regulierung als auch der allgemeinen Wettbewerbspolitik. Gleichzeitig findet eine internationale Liberalisierung der Telekommunikationsmärkte statt, deren Effektivität - und Fortgang - wesentlich von der Existenz wettbewerblicher Schutzklauseln abhängt. Die Handelspartner sollten sich in diesem Bereich auf bestimmte Mindeststandards zur besseren Bekämpfung wettbewerbswidriger Praktiken und Vermeidung internationaler Konflikte verständigen. Das Reference Paper zum WTO-Abkommen über Telekommunikationsgrunddienste ist ein bedeutender Schritt in dieser Richtung und auch ein Vorbild für andere Netzsektoren. Es enthält eine Rahmenregelung für konkrete politische Entscheidungen und bedarf insbesondere einer Ergänzung durch multilaterale Wettbewerbsregeln allgemeinerer Art.
