Asian Arguments

Celebrated for its natural beauty and its abundance of wildlife, the Mekong river runs thousands of miles through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Its basin is home to more than 70 million people and has for centuries been one of the world's richest agricultural areas and a biodynamic wonder. Today, however, it is undergoing profound changes. Development policies, led by a rising China in particular, aim to interconnect the region and urbanize the inhabitants. In this new and comprehensively updated edition of Last Days of the Mighty Mekong, Brian Eyler gives his first-hand account of the impact on the river of the tumultuous political period since the book's original publication. From the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic and a devastating drought to the increasing political tensions and resource competition between China and Trump-era America, Eyler recounts his own increasing involvements in international efforts to protect this precious and delicate environment. Along the way he meets the region's diverse peoples, from villagers to community leaders, politicians to policy makers. Through conversations with them he reveals the urgent struggle to save the Mekong and its unique ecosystem.

Last Days of the Mighty Mekong

“Seddon and Imsirovic provide a sophisticated and empirically rich account of the actors, institutions, and conflicts that make up the ‘pay-to-play’ governance system of the Brent price benchmark. Their book deserves to be widely read.”
 —William Boyd
 , Michael J. Klein Chair in Law, UCLA
 
 “
 The Governed Price of Oil
 is a lighthouse for understanding prices, the heart of markets, and the organizing force of contemporary economies. A must read for understanding economies revolving around the sun of prices.”

 An Engine, Not a Camera
 
 The price of oil is not discovered—it is made. Benchmarks like Brent crude are produced for profit, from information supplied by the very firms with an interest in shaping them. How can such a price be trusted, and who governs it?
 
 This book argues that benchmark authority rests on a “pay-to-play” bargain: firms bear the costs of price making because access confers influence, information, and trading advantage, while governors such as Platts and ICE set the rules. Those rules must channel traders’ opportunism, not eliminate it—too little latitude and participation withers; too much and the system curdles into manipulation. Comparing Brent with rival benchmarks, enduring and failed, and combining quantitative analysis, archival research, and insider interviews, this book reveals how the price that moves the world economy is actually made.
 Jack Seddon
 is Associate Professor of International Political Economy at Waseda University, Japan. A former capital markets lawyer, he holds an MPhil and DPhil from the University of Oxford and has published widely on market structure and governance.
 Adi Imsirovic
 lectures on the Master’s in Energy Systems at the University of Oxford and is a Senior Associate at CSIS, Washington. With 35 years in oil trading—including as global head of oil at Gazprom Marketing &amp; Trading—he has authored several books on international oil markets.

"This timely and important book reveals how one of the world's most important prices—the Brent Crude oil price benchmark—is made.

Schriftenreihe Natur und Recht

Das Verhältnis von Mensch und Tier ist ambivalent und wird rechtlich stark durch gesellschaftliche Wertungen, emotionale Debatten sowie persönliche Einstellungen gegenüber bestimmten Tierarten geprägt.Das vorliegende Werk untersucht die Struktur und Funktionsweise des deutschen und europäischen Tierschutzrechts und offenbart die Diskrepanz zwischen dem normativen Anspruch des Gesetzgebers und der tatsächlichen Umsetzung des Tierschutzrechts.Dabei führt das Buch die Leserschaft zunächst über eine historische Einordnung des Tierschutzrechts von der Antike über das Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart und analysiert schließlich die gegenwärtige Rechtslage auf internationaler, europäischer und nationaler Ebene. Dabei wird zwischen allgemeinem und besonderem Tierschutzrecht unterschieden, um herauszuarbeiten, nach welchen Kriterien der heutige Gesetzgeber die Schutzwürdigkeit von Tieren bestimmt.Vergleichend einbezogen werden Regelungen zu Heimtieren, Nutztieren und Versuchstieren sowie tierbezogene Normen des Zivil- und Strafrechts. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Versuchstierschutz, der exemplarisch verdeutlicht, wo Anspruch und Wirklichkeit des Tierschutzrechts auseinanderfallen.Abschließend systematisiert das Werk zentrale Inkonsistenzen und entwickelt rechtskonforme Lösungsansätze für eine kohärente Weiterentwicklung dieser Rechtsmaterie. Somit bietet das Buch eine umfassende dogmatische Aufarbeitung des Tierschutzrechts und zugleich konkrete Impulse für dessen Weiterentwicklung.

Eine kritische Analyse des Tierschutzrechts am Beispiel des Versuchstierschutzes

Tierschutzrecht: Zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit

Bridging finance and geopolitics, this book provides a practical guide to help readers understand and respond to the financial dynamics of global power struggles and the defining challenges of this century. Capital plays a crucial role in explaining the global balance of power that predominates in the present century. Capital Power aims to provide leaders with both the theoretical and practical resources they require to develop policies, build capacities, and execute strategies fit for the global financial arena. By employing a diverse methodological approach, insights from the author's 20 years of experience in both the public and private sector with a core focus on finance, as well as interviews with today's leading political and financial leaders, this book brings a novel perspective and an expanded analytical toolkit to the study of geopolitics. It redefines how we understand financial power in international affairs. Capital Power will encourage readers to think more thoughtfully, consciously, and strategically about the use of finance as a tool of statecraft; the utility of non-traditional conceptions of state power; the strengths and weaknesses of a geofinancial approach; how they can best deploy a country's financial credentials without eroding their foundations; and what this means for state-business relations. It champions a series of detailed policy recommendations and provides a playbook in response to the greatest challenges of this century.

The Rise of Geofinance

Capital Power

This book discusses some of the most important issues facing administrative law and related doctrines. Leading public law scholars from across the common law world have contributed chapters to recognise the exceptional scholarship and career of Matthew Groves, Distinguished Professor at Deakin University, Australia. Over the last century, the power of the administrative state has grown immensely and the scope of administrative law as a field of inquiry has grown with it. This collection of essays provides an up-to-date analysis of some of the most important issues in administrative law in the 2020s, including: access to justice issues; the role, purpose and future of ombuds institutions and tribunals; government liability within and beyond judicial review; integrity bodies; 'lawfare'; the role of policies in government decisionmaking; and the tension between military and civilian systems of justice. These topics have been central to the work and career of Matthew Groves. Readers interested in public law - whether practitioners, researchers or students - will discover a wealth of engaging and thought-provoking considerations of the most topical current issues in administrative law by a selection of prominent academics.

Essays in Honour of Matthew Groves

Controlling the Administrative State

What impact has Australia had on international law and what is its significance in terms of its participation in the transnational legal system? This collection of essays delves into the history of Australia's interactions with international law and considers how its people have shaped international law. It explores key issues such as the country's imperial and settler past. It assesses how Australians have contributed to key institutions such as the ICJ, the UN and the British Commonwealth. It gives a fascinating insight into international law's impact on a domestic legal system and the complex and multifaceted nature of that relationship. Scholars from across the international spectrum, whether in the field of law, politics or history, will welcome this erudite and engaging work.

This book examines local refugee integration policies in Western Europe, focusing on small and medium-sized towns and rural areas. Applying an innovative cross-country comparative approach, it maps and compares integration policies targeting humanitarian migrants in 36 localities across seven countries – Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy and Austria. It also analyses the drivers and effects of local policymaking processes in this field.The book challenges the dominant view that migration policymaking tends to be pragmatic and oriented at problem-solving. Rather, it shows that local integration policies are largely shaped by political factors, including the political affiliations of local governments, the presence and strength of radical right parties, and the dynamics of multilevel party politics. In doing so, the book throws new light on migration policymaking in small European localities, contributing to a field dominated by studies of big cities and metropolitan areas.Tiziana Caponio

Studies in National Governance and Emerging Technologies

This book examines how artificial intelligence systems and their applications in security and defence are entangled with governance and policy processes in the EU. Combining concepts and insights from (critical) security studies and science and technology studies, it argues that behind the various AI-related policy initiatives in the EU are particular narratives on security and defence based on European fears of technological innovation and strategic gaps. In this respect, the book casts light on how such beliefs have become increasingly instrumentalized in the European governance dynamics, and subsequently embedded in successive policy initiatives and security and defence research programmes. It challenges conventional understandings of AI technologies as mere security and defence-enabling instruments, by providing a conceptually driven analysis of how certain visions of AI help govern and control one of the most dynamic emergent socio-technical fields. The book will appeal to all those interested in artificial intelligence, security studies, technology and European governance.&nbsp;

Artificial Security and the Politics of Hype in the EU

This book fills a gap in the existing literature by providing a thorough assessment of EU regulations as a source of secondary legislation and their application in all twenty-seven Member States. It also explores that application in neighbouring countries. EU regulations are perceived as the strongest and the most effective sources of EU secondary legislation and it is well-established by the Court of Justice of the European Union that their provisions have vertical and horizontal direct effect. Part 1 of this book examines these points, providing a backdrop to the analysis in the remaining chapters. Parts 2 and 3 focus on the national reception of EU regulations in Member States, and in selected neighbouring jurisdictions. Written by leading practitioners and academics, the book offers both a conceptual underpinning to this element of the European Union's law-making, as well as its practical application.
