Der Sukzessionsschutz im Recht des Geistigen Eigentums schützt bereits erteilte Lizenzen im Fall der Übertragung des Schutzrechts oder der Erteilung einer weiteren Lizenz. Während sich die Anordnung des Sukzessionsschutzes in allen Schutzgesetzen und Verordnungen über einheitliche Rechtstitel findet, werden die Wirkungen nirgends näher dargelegt. In einem schutzrechtsübergreifenden Ansatz zeigt Lea Tochtermann systematisch die Grundkonstellationen des Sukzessionsschutzes auf und analysiert die Wirkungen der gesetzlichen Anordnung. Neben den Konsequenzen bei Zugrundelegung der herrschenden Meinung untersucht sie auch die Leistungsfähigkeit des Modells, welches die Lizenz als verdinglichte Obligation liest. Der praktischen Bedeutung des Sukzessionsschutzes im grenzüberschreitenden Rechtsverkehr wird durch die Fortentwicklung der gefundenen Lösungsansätze auf international-privatrechtlicher Ebene Rechnung getragen.

Explores the human right to health, addressing definitional problems, ie, terminological consensus; international codification, ie, treaty provisions; implementation in terms of reporting & judicial bodies; & conceptualization in terms of scope & nature of state obligations. J. Lindroth

he recognition of the dual threat of poor management of conventional ammunition in terms of uncontrolled proliferation and devastating explosions has placed the safe and secure management of ammunition (SSMA) ever more firmly on the international political and normative agenda. Operationally, international cooperation and assistance is stepping up to strengthen national efforts. This heightened attention to the topic makes it ever more judicious and timely to review the state of play in SSMA. This GICHD report discusses if current practice addresses the challenge at hand and identifies bottlenecks requiring further action to overcome the challenge more effectively, sustainably and in a coordinated manner in the future.

Afghanistan, a landlocked nation with a turbulent history of conflict and natural disasters, has experienced the evolution of migration as a strategic response to a range of challenges. Over time, Afghans have developed a resilient transnational network, using mobility as a way to cope and as a proactive strategy. This article explores the dynamics of Afghan migration, examining the intersections of political, historical, cultural, social, and economic factors. Four main themes emerge: the resilience of transnational networks, migration as a coping mechanism, prolonged displacement, and the inconsistency of return and reintegration. The paper also discusses the challenges of conceptualizing migration and return in the Afghan context and reflects on relevant theoretical models for studying migration in Afghanistan. Additionally, it explores emerging research themes, including gender perspectives and political uncertainty. As Afghanistan grapples with a dynamic migration landscape, the insights gained from this study have broader implications for international migration studies.

During the past decade policy makers and academic observers have become increasingly aware of the political importance of economic relations, especially among the advanced industrialized states. Some of this awareness came precipitously when monetary crises threatened not only individual currencies such as sterling, the franc, or the dollar, but also the basic structure of the international monetary system. Some of this awareness was more incremental, as with the growing fear that neomercantilist trade policies might result in a reversal of the postwar policies of trade liberalization pursued by the Western industrialized states.

AbstractGender mainstreaming, with its promise of gender transformation, equality and empowerment, has become a central pillar of development discourse, policy and practice. Yet, the implementation of these promises has largely been disappointing. Proposed 'solutions' have brought little new to the table. This article suggests that we need to rethink the link between policy and implementation, recognising that both are political processes and that while policies set agendas, both policies and their implementation are deeply influenced by societal factors. Drawing on critical development analysis and feminist writings, the article explores the transformative potential of gender mainstreaming in international development organisations in an increasingly complex, unequal and gendered world.

The United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics have put forward a Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) designed to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons beyond those five nations which currently possess them: France, the People's Republic of China (Communist China), the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The treaty requires that signatories already possessing such weapons not give them to other countries and that signatories not yet posses-sing nuclear weapons forego accepting them or manufacturing them indigenously. To reinforce the latter restraint the treaty obligates states renouncing weapons to accept inspection safeguards on their peaceful nuclear activities, inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

THE AUTHORS OF THE TWO VOLUMES UNDER REVIEW PRESENT DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO AN ANALYSIS OF THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. GURTOV AND HWANG STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF NATIONAL INTEREST AND THE INTERACTION OF DOMESTIC FACTORS AND FOREIGN POLICY; THEY MAKE A CONNECTION BETWEN CHINA'S SENSITIVITY TO EXTERNAL THREE AND ITS REACTION TO IT, ESPECIALLY AT TIMES OF DOMESTIC DOMESTIC POLITICAL WEAKNESS. ARMSTRONG ASSERTS THAT IDEOLOGY HAS PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN CHINESE FOREIGN POLICY MAKING. IN BOTH VOLUMES, CASE STUDIES ARE CITED TO SUPPORT THE AUTHORS' HYPOTHESES. THE ARTICLE CONCLUDES THAT NATIONAL INTEREST IS THE PRINCIPAL FACTOR DETERMINING THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE PRC MAO ZEDONG'S THOUGHT CONTINUES TO PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN CHINESE THINKING; IT IS CONCERNED WITH DOMESTIC ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CHANGE AND NOT WITH THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF OTHER COUNTRIES.

Variegated Neoliberalism" shows how one dominant financial system within Europe came to collapse and evaluates the role of large banking groups which presented political-economic projects to public institutions arguing that what benefited them also meets the social needs of others. In reality, their solutions create more problems than they solve. The author suggests that whilst resistance and change is necessary, this goal is complicated by academic accounts which overestimate the power of these agents. Macartney asserts that a more sophisticated understanding than transnational - national separation is required and pervasive varieties of capitalism accounts are also seemingly unhelpful if resistance is the goal. This book argues the ability for financial elites to impose their projects is limited by the fragility of their consensus on what course of action best suits their interests. The book demystifies the process of neoliberalization, utilizing views from transnational historical materialism and neo-Gramscian IPE. An analysis of three transnationally oriented capital fractions in three key European states shows how neoliberal policies are created. "Variegated Neoliberalism" will be of interest to students and scholars of International Political Economy, and the theories of Marx and Gramsci
