The Legal Architecture of the Belt and Road Initiative

Legal Pathways on the New Silk Road

Elements of International Law

Reservations constitute the principal mechanism by which states may modify or limit the legal effect of treaty obligations following the adoption of a treaty text. Yet they remain among the most complex and contested features of the law of treaties, even for experienced international lawyers. Set against the broader framework of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969), Reservations to Treaties offers a clear, systematic, and practically oriented account of how to identify, interpret, and apply the rules governing reservations.

Drawing on an extensive body of state practice, encompassing more than 150 states and over eighty treaties, the book grounds its analysis in diverse geographical and historical contexts. Through detailed examples and careful engagement with practice, it illustrates how reservations operate across a wide range of subject areas within international law. The chapters provide a structured and accessible guide to navigating this often perplexing area, supported by comprehensive referencing and analysis.

Combining rigorous scholarship with detailed examples, the book is designed to support both specialists and non-specialists in navigating treaty practice, while contributing to a deeper understanding of how reservations shape treaty relations and the development of the international rule of law.

Studies in International Trade and Investment Law

This open access book examines the evolving role of international economic law in addressing two interrelated challenges of the 21st century: enabling digital development and bridging the digital divide. The rapid digitalisation of the economy has generated significant challenges, including a deepening global digital and data divide and a persistent lack of inclusive digital development. Confronting these challenges head on, this pioneering book brings together experts across different legal subfields, geographies, and disciplines to examine the role and relevance of international economic law in bridging the global digital divide and enabling digital development, particularly from the perspective of the Global South. The contributions are anchored in a distinctive analytical framework that traces future directions through which international economic law interacts with digital development, demonstrating how it may function as a constraint, fade into irrelevance, or eventually act as an enabler. The chapters focus on a broad range of areas, including international trade, investment, tax, development, competition, finance and related regulatory and policy domains; they consider multilateral, regional, and plurilateral frameworks; and draw on a plurality of perspectives from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. The authors employ a wide range of methodological approaches to address issues such as digital sovereignty and digital industrial policy, cross-border data flows and digital global value chains, competition in data markets, AI governance, financial inclusion, and the sustainability-digitalisation nexus. This book speaks to scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in international economic law, development studies, and technology law who seek theoretical and pragmatic pathways for reorienting international economic law as a tool for equitable, sustainable, and meaningful digital development. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Studien zum Regulierungsrecht

This study develops, from the perspective of European law, a concept for the systemic regulation of disinformation on online platforms aimed at safeguarding the integrity of the public opinion-formation process in the European Union. Against the backdrop of disinformation events between 2016 and 2025 and the changing conditions of platform-based communication, it examines - on the basis of the fundamental rights of the European Union, in particular the scope of protection of freedom of expression under Article 11(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights - how proportionate disinformation regulation can be designed within the framework of Articles 34 and 35 of the Digital Services Act and implemented, for instance, through a code of conduct pursuant to Article 45.
 

 The study combines a doctrinal legal analysis of freedom of expression with legal-philosophical and legal-sociological perspectives, drawing on emergence theory to explain how individual disinformative expressions transition from the discursive micro-level to the macro-level of public discourse. On this basis, it develops the concept of disinformation dynamics as an operational point of reference for systemic risks within the meaning of the Digital Services Act.
 

 The result is a proposal for a procedural regulatory architecture that, instead of relying on substantive assessments of truth, is based on a rebuttable presumption of disinformation and, where such suspicion is triggered, enables rights-compliant regulatory measures through a discursive reversal of the burden of proof. An interdisciplinary analysis of AI-based algorithmic detection methods - including knowledge-based, style-based, and dissemination-based approaches - demonstrates the technical feasibility of the concept and identifies the requirements for accuracy, fairness, and explainability in automated disinformation detection.
 

 The study thus contributes to the doctrinal development of European platform regulation and outlines ways to safeguard public opinion formation as a foundation of democracy in the digital sphere.

Systemische Desinformationsregulierung

This book provides a concise and interdisciplinary introduction to sustainable development, examining its historical evolution, legal foundations, and contemporary governance challenges. It traces the emergence of sustainability from early ecological warnings to its institutionalization through international frameworks, demonstrating how sustainable development has become a central organizing principle of global policy.Organized around seven thematic chapters, the book covers the conceptual and legal foundations of sustainability, its core governance principles, socio-technical transition pathways, property and commons theory, global sustainability finance, and the implications of digitalization and artificial intelligence for development. Each chapter integrates legal analysis, governance theory, and, in some cases, real-world case studies to show how sustainability principles move from rhetoric to enforceable norms. Key features include accessible chapter abstracts, a comprehensive list of abbreviations, and a structured list of figures supporting visual learning. The book approaches sustainable development not as a technical toolkit but as a political and institutional challenge requiring systemic reform.The volume is intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students in environmental studies, law, governance, economics, and public policy, as well as researchers, practitioners, and policymakers engaged with sustainability transitions, international environmental law, and development governance.

Science fiction has long been fascinated with the potential for sentient, human-like artificial persons. Even before reality meets fantasy, individuals, governments and businesses already entrust AI to make automated decisions with potential for real-life impact. What are the implications for AI legal personhood? This work examines how different legal entities differ in rights and duties and considers historical examples that show how legal personhood status can change over time under economic, social and pragmatic pressures. By abandoning the traditional binary, characteristics-based concept of the legal person for a historical lens, we are left with a more nuanced concept of the legal person against which sentience matters far less than what we might otherwise assume.

Persona Ex Machina: Artificial Intelligence on a Spectrum of Legal Personhood

Hart Studies on Contested Legalities

This book confronts a pressing and unsettling development at the intersection of law, sovereignty, and Indigenous rights: the growing entanglement between Indigenous legal traditions and sovereign citizen pseudolaw. Bringing together leading scholars from law, anthropology, Indigenous studies, and related disciplines, the volume exposes how pseudolegal movements increasingly appropriate the language and symbolism of Indigenous sovereignty to advance anti-state and conspiratorial agendas. The collection shows that this appropriation is not confined to non-Indigenous actors. In contexts of long-standing injustice and frustration with state institutions, some Indigenous individuals are also drawn to sovereign citizen arguments that promise autonomy or escape from state authority. Through careful analysis, the contributors explain why these claims may appear attractive, while demonstrating that they rest on legal fantasies fundamentally at odds with Indigenous legal orders. Where Indigenous laws are collective, relational, and grounded in responsibilities to land and community, pseudolaw is individualistic, property-centred, and rooted in settler-colonial entitlement. As the first scholarly collection to systematically address this phenomenon, the volume calls for renewed intellectual clarity and sustained engagement between academics, legal practitioners, and Indigenous communities. The book traces how pseudolaw repackages older colonial strategies of appropriation and erasure in new forms. It reveals the tangible harms these entanglements cause: legal confusion, political vulnerability, and the erosion of the credibility of genuine Indigenous sovereignty claims. It offers a powerful warning about the dangers of pseudolaw and a compelling case for strengthening Indigenous-led pathways to justice, self-governance, and sovereignty.
