Library of Selected Cases from the Chinese Court

This book is the first collection of annotated cases in the field of foreign-related commercial adjudication, published for both international and domestic readers, and edited under the guidance of the Supreme People's Court. This book was compiled by personnel from the Fourth Civil Division and related academic research bases, with the special contributions from members of the International Commercial Expert Committee of the Supreme People's Court, as well as other leading scholars and practitioners. Each case is accompanied by an expert commentary, vividly demonstrating the achievements of China's judicial services in supporting high-level opening-up through the "case-based approach to elaborating the law."This reflects the commitment of Chinese courts to maintaining an open stance towards the world, abiding by international treaty obligations, upholding the international law-based international order, and weaving the fabric of China's judicial ethos with the rich tapestry of global legal achievements. This effort is of great significance for advancing both domestic and foreign-related rule of law, highlighting China's achievements in this field, and helping to create a top-tier business environment that is market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized.

A Multilateral Overview

International Trade Policy for Guyana

This book examines the impact of modern technologies, from Artificial Intelligence to the Dark Web, that have revolutionized the recruitment and exploitation of vulnerable individuals, with particular focus on the protection of minors.
Part I—'The digital frontier' maps the evolving landscape of online trafficking, exposing how social media and emerging tech are weaponized by criminal networks. Part II—'A dual response' provides a unique comparative analysis that bridges the gap between rigorous international legal frameworks and the moral imperatives of Catholic Social Teaching. Part III—'An architecture of care' moves beyond theory to offer concrete doctrinal, institutional, pastoral, and technical recommendations designed to dismantle the infrastructure of online exploitation.
An incisive analysis is made possible by the researcher’s unique expertise in this critical field. It is the result of a singular professional trajectory, where experience accumulated at the Holy See and within major international fora has now borne fruit in this substantial monograph. By providing concrete measures to navigate the legal and ethical complexities of the digital age, this book serves as both an academic landmark and an operational framework for preventing and eradicating human trafficking online.

Combating Online Trafficking and Protecting Minors

A challenge to incentivization as a dominant framework for understanding and governing people From corporate management and consumer behavior to public health and climate policy, incentives are widely treated as a neutral and effective way to shape how people act. In this book, Guus Dix shows that incentives are not simple policy nudges; they lull us into a passive understanding of ourselves as being merely responsive to changes others make to our environment. They foster a politics of incremental tweaks to a socially and ecologically destructive economic system that we are expected to accept without question. Dix argues that it is time to challenge the reign of incentives in contemporary science and public life. Dix traces the evolution of the incentive, from the engineering of performance charts and rewards for factory workers to combating gridlock at Britain’s National Health Service. He describes the function of incentives under socialism, theories of adjustment incentives developed at the Harvard Business School to manage employees, and incentivizing whole economies—both socialist and capitalist. He shows that incentivization is a distinct way of wielding power. Incentives have become part of a quasi-universal governing philosophy that keeps us from addressing such major issues as poverty and the climate crisis. Finally, Dix analyzes the limits of incentivization, arguing that being governed by incentives keeps us from considering government policies that have the potential to bring about meaningful and transformative change.

International trade has long been governed by principles of fairness and multilateral cooperation, from the lex mercatoria to GATT and the WTO. Yet, rising protectionism and strategic competition have challenged these norms. This book examines how Donald Trump’s trade policies—spanning two administrations—reshaped global trade and strained the rules-based system.
Through empirical analysis, case studies, and expert interviews, the book explores the WTO’s legitimacy crisis, U.S.-China trade wars, and tariffs on allies under “America First.” It analyzes sectoral dynamics in rare earths and semiconductors, regional shifts in Latin America and ASEAN, and the broader geoeconomic consequences of U.S. actions. By linking historical evolution with contemporary disruptions, the work addresses critical questions: Can the WTO remain relevant? How will emerging industries redefine trade? What are the long-term implications of U.S. assertiveness for global governance?
Combining theoretical, historical, and pragmatic perspectives, this book offers a balanced view of trade as a tool of power politics in a multipolar world. Essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the future of international trade amid growing nationalism and institutional transformation.

This book offers a profound exploration of the historical, cultural, and social dimensions of Brazil’s Indigenous peoples, with a particular focus on the Kaingang communities. Understanding these peoples is essential to interpreting Brazilian social thought, shaping national identity, promoting sustainability, and safeguarding fundamental rights.Indigenous culture (rooted in ancestral knowledge, cosmologies, and traditional ways of life) has not only shaped Brazilian society but also plays a vital role in environmental preservation and in proposing alternatives to contemporary global challenges. This book combines bibliographic and ethnographic research with the voices of Indigenous leaders, weaving narratives of memory, resistance, and identity in the face of coloniality, systemic violence, and territorial disputes.More than an academic study, this work is an invitation to listen and engage in dialogue. It amplifies Indigenous perspectives and underscores their significance in building a plural, just, and sustainable Brazil.

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>

International Law and the Global South

This book provides comprehensive discussions on the instruments, mechanisms and debates relevant to tackling biopiracy and protecting the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities in that context.&nbsp;Biopiracy is one of the most controversial issues in the international society and indigenous peoples and local communities have been the main victim of biopiracy because although they have made enormous contributions to the conservation of biological and genetic resources and development of associated traditional knowledge, they have been rarely acknowledged and few benefits have been shared.Against this backdrop, this book surveys biopiracy cases around the world, analyses and discusses the international regimes relevant to biopiracy, and suggests possible ways forward; namely the instruments or mechanisms to tackle biopiracy and protect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities based on the international regimes. It provides a comprehensive picture on the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities in the context of biopiracy by analysing international biodiversity, human rights and intellectual property regimes as a whole. Moreover, unlike others, this book also suggests how to improve domestic laws and institutions to tackle biopiracy and protect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities to genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge in accordance with the international regimes by, for instance, providing the core elements of the model laws and institutions.For these reasons, the book will be a good guide for students and researchers who are interested in laws and policies on the (sustainable) use of biological and genetic resources. Particularly, given that with the adoption of the Nagoya Protocol, scientists (particularly, biologists) need to understand international biodiversity and intellectual property laws and institutions, this book will be useful for them. Moreover, as indigenous peoples and local communities are the main victim of biopiracy, this book will help indigenous rights activists and organizations working to protect their rights.
