This book contains the first full published account of the disasters that have befallen Iraq's cultural heritage, and it analyzes why the array of laws and international conventions; the advocacy efforts of cultural heritage organizations; and the military planning and implementation of cultural protection operations all failed, and continue to fail, to prevent massive and irreversible loss. Looking forward, the book identifies new planning procedures, policy mechanisms, and implementation strategies capable of succeeding, so the mistakes of Iraq will not be replicated in other regions in crisis.

In its broadest sense, globalization can be seen as an inherent part of human experience. Since prehistoric times humans have been growing in number; interacting with other groups, peace-fully or not; building larger economic, social, and political organizations; discovering, using, and sometimes destroying the resources of the planet; and generating new knowledge and technologies. That process has led to the emergence of empires, with the ebb and flow over the centuries of explorers, crusaders, missionaries, merchants, and colonists.

This volume of Research in Law and Economics contains articles that address important legal and economic developments in the areas of healthcare, intellectual property and labor settlements, competitive effects, cartel overcharges, and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"). Four of the articles were initially presented at a conference on healthcare competition in Washington, D.C., which was sponsored by the American Antitrust Institute, this journal, and Navigant Economics. These articles explore practices that are under challenge in pharmaceuticals, where the Federal Trade Commission has been extremely active, as well as issues involving hospital and health insurance mergers. They are followed by a long and detailed discussion of the current and historic role of economists and economic analysis at the Federal Trade Commission. The next two articles analyze different aspects of the French economy, pre-trial labor settlements and the impact of e-commerce on franchisees. The volume ends with three technical economics articles one on "upward pricing pressure", one on estimating price increases in cartel cases, and one critiquing a "meta-analysis" of research on the effectiveness of U.S. merger regulation. Taken together, these articles raise questions about appropriate competition policy, how to evaluate settlements and other firm behavior, and where economics and competition policy are headed.

Introduction. The transfer of technologies from defense to the civilian sector of the economy, their implementation in the commercial sphere of economic relations should lead to wider use, increase economic returns and further development of these technologies. The issues of diversification of the domestic defense industry are closely monitored by the top leadership of the Russian Federation. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to scientifically comprehend and analyze the provision by Russian legislation of the necessary and sufficient legal conditions for the transfer of technology from the military to the civilian sector. The scientific novelty of this work consists in the content and sequence of stages of technology transfer from the defense to the civilian sector of the economy and assessing the degree to which these stages are reflected in current legislation. Monitoring Tools. The subject is normative legal acts regulating this sphere of relations, as well as the works of scientists and specialists in this field. The dialectical method was used as a methodological basis. General scientific (analysis, system-structural, functional), special (concrete sociological), and private scientific (formal-legal, method of interpretation of the rule of law) methods were applied in this work. Results and Discussion. The materials collected during the analysis in this article allow us to analyze Russian legislation on the transfer of technology from the defense sector to civilian through the prism of the author's presentation of the stages of technology transfer and how this mechanism is viewed by domestic experts and researchers. The analysis conducted in this field will be useful both for lawyers who apply these laws, and for researchers who are faced with the effect of such laws in their professional activities. Conclusion. Based on the results of the research, we can conclude that it is advisable to adopt a single regulatory legal act governing all stages of the disposal of rights to military, special or ...

In this article, the authors present the issue of the law against the increasing globalisation and the issue of the theology in liturgy, where individual reformers wish for a return to the archaic forms of divine worship. The meaning of both presented cases is unifying, that is, directed to the national and liturgical communion. Both presented systems must lead to misuse and semblance -- to a Placebo effect. When conscientiously considering cultural properties and its emanations, it may seem possible to avoid the danger of the Placebo effect. Adapted from the source document.

No recent issue has so divided lawyers and writers in the field of international law as the question whether courts of one nation should sit in judgment on the acts of other nations with respect to foreign held property—sometimes, always, or never. The United States Supreme Court in Banco Nacional de Cubav. Sabbatinosaid the answer was never—or at least hardly ever—thus upholding and reaffirming the "act of state doctrine". The Congress in the Hickenlooper (or Sabbatino) Amendmentmade an effort to reverse that ruling, an effort that has proved largely unsuccessful. Now the State Department has taken its turn, arguing in a formal communication to the Supreme Court that when it perceives no objection to adjudication on foreign policy grounds, the courts should judge the validity of the foreign nation's acts under international law standards—at least as to counterclaims.
