Meyer P: La cybersécurité des
infrastructures critiques et la gestion

La cybersécurité des infrastructures critiques et la gestion de cyberincidents en droit suisse

This book examines the promises and perils of pursuing accountability for digital harms under international criminal law (ICL). Technology can be used as a new method of perpetrating existing international crimes, but it can also inflict novel harms that may only be adequately addressed by the creation of a new offence. This book analyses how harm has been understood for core international crimes and how digital harms (such as online hate speech and disinformation, sharing footage of crimes online, mass surveillance, and online sexual violence) can be encompassed within definitions of those crimes. It considers theories of criminalisation to determine why digital harms should be criminalised, and explores relevant challenges, such as whether digital harms can meet the gravity threshold under ICL. Further, obstacles to prosecuting digital harms at international criminal courts and tribunals (ICCTs) are considered, including jurisdiction, digital evidence concerns, and cooperation between ICCTs and States, private companies, and civil society. The book concludes with two case studies-the beheading of American journalist James Foley by ISIS, which was circulated online, and the digital surveillance used against the Uyghur population in Xinjiang, China-to illustrate how digital harms may be criminalised and prosecuted in practice. Ultimately, the book argues that digital harms are like the harms traditionally encompassed by international crimes, and that these harms should be criminalised to provide justice to victims. As technology will continue to develop and serve as a vehicle for an increasing array of harms, accounting for digital harm should be an issue at the forefront of ICL.

Digital Harm and International Criminal Law

A textbook that examines how societies reach decisions about the use and allocation of economic resources While economic research emphasizes the importance of governmental institutions for growth and progress, conventional public policy textbooks tend to focus on macroeconomic policies and on tax-and-spend decisions. Markets, State, and People stresses the basics of welfare economics and the interplay between individual and collective choices. It fills a gap by showing how economic theory relates to current policy questions, with a look at incentives, institutions, and efficiency. How should resources in society be allocated for the most economically efficient outcomes, and how does this sit with society's sense of fairness? Diane Coyle illustrates the ways economic ideas are the product of their historical context, and how events in turn shape economic thought. She includes many real-world examples of policies, both good and bad. Readers will learn that there are no panaceas for policy problems, but there is a practical set of theories and empirical findings that can help policymakers navigate dilemmas and trade-offs. The decisions faced by officials or politicians are never easy, but economic insights can clarify the choices to be made and the evidence that informs those choices. Coyle covers issues such as digital markets and competition policy, environmental policy, regulatory assessments, public-private partnerships, nudge policies, universal basic income, and much more. Markets, State, and People offers a new way of approaching public economics. <ul><li>A focus on markets and institutions </li><li>Policy ideas in historical context </li><li>Real-world examples </li><li>How economic theory helps policymakers tackle dilemmas and choices </li></ul>

Cette étude analyse l'évolution des droits numériques en Afrique du Sud entre 2020 et 2025 à partir des rapports Londa de Paradigm Initiative, complétés par des sources juridiques, institutionnelles et journalistiques. Elle examine l'accès à l'information, la liberté d'expression et la protection de la vie privée, ainsi que les enjeux liés à l'intelligence artificielle, à la cybersécurité et à la souveraineté numérique.

À travers une approche chronologique et thématique, elle met en évidence l'écart entre un cadre juridique protecteur et une application encore inégale. La fracture numérique, la surveillance, les discours de haine et la désinformation constituent des obstacles persistants. L'étude aborde également les tensions géopolitiques autour de Starlink et formule des recommandations pour renforcer l'inclusion numérique, la protection des données et la responsabilité des plateformes.

This guide covers the design and application of headed bars as compact anchorage for reinforcement in congested or constrained concrete structures. Based on Eurocode 2, it explains the behaviour, analysis and verification of headed bars as alternatives to bends, hooks and long anchorages.Properly detailed headed bars can shorten anchorage zones, ease reinforcement congestion, improve access for concrete placement and simplify reinforcement assembly. The book sets out the mechanical and code basis of headed-bar anchorage and provides systematic procedures for qualifying the head-to-bar connection and assessing concrete anchorage performance. It translates the provisions of BS EN 1992-1-1:2023 and the ACES Design Guide for Use of Headed Bars to Eurocode 2:2025 into practical design forms, applicability conditions, calculation workflows, detailing requirements and verification checks. The discussion extends beyond terminal anchorage to headed-bar laps in joints, anchorage of tension ties in strut-and-tie regions, headed bars used as shear reinforcement and double-headed studs used in punching shear systems. Worked examples illustrate a headed-bar lap in a precast slab joint and the anchorage of a pile-cap tension tie. A case study of a completed project in Singapore examines the use of headed bars in a congested transfer beam. The recorded installation data demonstrate the potential of headed bars to mitigate congestion, improve installation productivity, reduce reinforcement quantities and enhance buildability.The book will benefit structural engineers and other professionals involved in the design, assessment and construction of complex concrete structures, particularly heavily reinforced buildings and infrastructure projects. Its prac­tical approach supports the application of headed reinforcement in accordance with Eurocode 2 and related international standards.

A history of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, and how the ambiguity built into that technology helps companies and exploits workersSeeing Like a Supply Chain is a compelling investigation into the hidden networks that drive our global economy. Miriam Posner presents a blow-by-blow account of the technology of supply-chain management from punch cards to neural nets, revealing how the system's built-in ambiguity shields companies from accountability while exploiting workers.Drawing on more than a decade of research, Posner shows how computation converged with the growth of global trade to allow for a lightning-quick, astoundingly efficient supply chain that lets corporations source products without any notion of where their goods are actually being produced. At a time when multinational firms fear the reputational damage of human rights violations in the making of their products, the supply chain's shroud of vagueness is a feature, not a bug. Posner shows how this is technically accomplished-and how the strategic disavowal of information extends through every step of that chain.

A Journey Through the Hidden World of Manufacturing

How Things Are Made

Russian Shorts

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Russia's Arctic policies since the 2022 war with Ukraine began. Covering geopolitical transformations, domestic evolutions and the role of climate change, it traces how, for around two decades, Russia has renewed its strategic interest in the Arctic region. It reflects on how, with more than half of the circumpolar territories, Russia's Arctic regions generate between 10 and 15% of Russia's GDP and a quarter of its exports, with the yet-to-be-explored reserves of the Arctic continental shelf also offering immense potential. Russia's Arctic analyses the growth of hydrocarbon deposits in the far north of Siberia and nearby offshore areas and how this has contributed to the rapid development of the Northern Sea Route. Marlene Laruelle and Jean Radvanyi examine the tremendous long-term importance of the region for Russia, regardless of internal political developments and the state of relations with the West. Long a place for science diplomacy and transborder dialogue, the region has once again become a hotspot for geostrategic tensions and a new interface between an expanded NATO and Russia. While the West is imposing increasingly broad sanctions specifically targeting Arctic hydrocarbon development projects, the Russian government is striving to circumvent or mitigate their effects with countermeasures by relying on their allies, most of whom are Asian. Laruelle and Radvanyi convincingly contend that Russian Arctic development policy must take into account the economic needs of the Russian budget and the geopolitical realities of decoupling from the West and pivoting towards the so-called 'Global South'. Additionally, it must consider the heavy legacies of the past in terms of population, infrastructure, and pollution, as well as future projections regarding the impact of climate change.

This open access book brings together leading European labour law scholars to explore how workers' representatives' rights are evolving in the context of the digital transformation of work. Rooted in EU and national legal frameworks, the book examines how information and consultation (I&amp;C) rights must adapt to the challenges posed by platform work, algorithmic management, cross-border telework, and digitalisation more broadly. Structured around 4 key themes-Who is entitled to I&amp;C rights; Where these rights apply in transnational and virtual workplaces; How they are exercised in the context of AI, occupational safety, and industrial democracy; and What new rights are emerging in response to digital risks-the book offers a comprehensive and comparative analysis of labour law in the digital age. It pays particular attention to the role of workers' representatives in shaping and implementing emerging rights such as the right to disconnect. Drawing on the findings of the DIGILARE research project (EU grant 101126503), the volume provides actionable legal and policy insights for EU institutions, national lawmakers, social partners, and practitioners. It proposes reforms to strengthen democratic participation, enhance transparency in algorithmic decision-making, and safeguard workers' autonomy in increasingly fragmented and remote work environments.

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.

Towards Digital Development

Reorienting International Economic Law for the Digital Economy

The infrastructure of global trade is invisible until it fails.

Pipelines, ports, power grids, data centers, and the financial systems that fund them quietly sustain modern civilization. Yet the machinery behind them: the project finance structures, risk frameworks, export credit agencies, and capital markets that determine what gets built and what does not. This system remains poorly understood by most of the people who depend on it.

Financing the World We Trade In pulls readers inside that hidden architecture. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience and over $3 billion in project financings, mergers, and acquisitions across more than 20 countries, David Goodnight explains how infrastructure projects are structured, financed, insured, negotiated, and brought into operation across the modern global economy.

Most finance books explain one layer. This one connects all of them: from a garage inventor through technology commercialization, export credit support, and institutional project finance, to the global capital markets that ultimately hold the paper.

What the book covers:

¿ How lenders assess risk, why projects fail to secure financing, and what developers must do to improve financeability

¿ Project finance fundamentals: FEL process, EPC contracts, cash-flow waterfalls, DSCR mechanics, construction risk, and completion guarantees

¿ Export credit agencies, commodity-backed lending, letters of credit, and structured trade finance

¿ Technology performance insurance and the financing gap between development and commercial deployment

¿ Digital trade transformation: electronic bills of lading, tokenization, and AI in compliance and underwriting

¿ Community and inventor finance: equity crowdfunding, CDFI, NMTC, Reg CF, Reg A+, and Reg D, with real case studies

¿ AI data center project finance: GPU-collateralized facilities, ABS securitization, and the power demand surge reshaping infrastructure investment

Written for builders, developers, inventors, traders, infrastructure professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the financial machinery behind the modern world.
