What are foreign relations?
In: What's the issue?
"Although countries have interacted with each other throughout history, the field that we know today as "foreign relations" was not created until the beginning of the 20th century. The prevailing opinion of the past that a country's leaders were the only ones who needed to think about such things gave way to a new school of thought: Foreign relations affect all citizens, and therefore being a global citizen requires understanding how countries' actions affect each other. Through detailed graphic organizers and informative fact boxes, readers gain an age-appropriate introduction to this important and complex issue"--
Torts in UK foreign relations
In: Oxford Private International Law Series
Can English courts hear tortious claims for wrongs allegedly committed by British armed forces and security services during their overseas operations? Should English courts hear such claims? What law governs issues raised by such claims? Can foreign judgments given on such claims be recognised and enforced in the UK? Many questions such as these have arisen in relation to cases dealing with the tortious liability of the UK government and its officials for extraterritorial public acts committed during the conflicts in Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and the 'war on terror'. Torts in UK Foreign Relations examines the English courts' treatment of such issues and offers a better understanding of this contested area of private international law. It shows that a defining characteristic of such tortious claims is that they are often subjected to the choice-of-law process and lead to the application of foreign law. Further, the author clarifies the nature of the doctrines operating in this field, maps out the relationship between different jurisdictions and rules that are engaged, and criticises the current approach to choice-of-law, while arguing that English tort law should play a more prominent role.Comprehensive and methodological, Torts in UK Foreign Relations will appeal widely to academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of private international law, foreign relations law, tort law, and public law
China's environmental foreign relations
In: China policy series 62
"Over recent decades, China has moved from being a follower towards taking on a leadership role in global environmental governance. This book discusses this important development. It examines the key role of Chinese interest groups, showing how through various domestic dynamics they have influenced how China has approached issues such as climate change and the environment. Focusing on examples of multilateral environmental treaties, bilateral cooperation, and the proposition of alternative norms - the idea of China as an "ecological civilisation" - the book provides crucial insights on the evolution of China's approach to international relations and engagement with global environmental governance, and contributes to the discussion of what kind of power China is poised to become."
