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.

Protection of Bio-rights of Indigenous Peoples in International Law

Law, Governance and Technology Series

Issues in Privacy and Data Protection

This book examines the obligation of data protection by design and provides practical guidance on complying with Article 25 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR significantly reshaped EU data protection law and introduced, for the first time, a legal requirement that data controllers implement technical and organisational measures to embed data protection principles into the design and operation of digital systems. While related concepts such as Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) predated the GDPR, Article 25 established a binding obligation to ensure data protection by design and by default. The book analyses the requirements of Article 25 GDPR and explains how organisations can comply with this broadly framed provision. Particular attention is given to the risk-based approach adopted by the GDPR, under which the level of protection must correspond to the risks posed to data subjects. This approach creates uncertainty because Article 25 does not specify which safeguards are sufficient in practice. Similar ambiguity exists regarding anonymisation techniques, which the author identifies as important measures for achieving compliance with the principle of data minimisation. To address these challenges, the book examines officially approved Codes of Conduct and certification requirements in data protection law. These instruments provide detailed guidance on implementing data protection by design and help translate the GDPR’s abstract requirements into concrete compliance measures. The analysis further demonstrates that the EU law principle of legitimate expectations can protect organisations that rely on officially approved standards. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, the book also explores Knowledge Graphs (KGs) as tools for embedding data protection requirements into technological systems. Focusing on Knowledge Graphs developed through Semantic Web technologies, it shows how legal rules can be expressed in machine-readable formats that support compliance by design. The monograph concludes by proposing best practices for the development of vocabularies and ontologies that represent data protection obligations in a structured, machine-readable way.

From Abstract Principles to Implementation

Data Protection by Design

Data Science, Machine Intelligence, and Law

This book proposes a method for balancing and identifies appropriate legal tools for balancing in the context of AI-driven video-based Active Assisted Living (AAL) technologies – technologies integrated into computer systems that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to assist older adults in their daily lives, enabling them to live independently and remain active. While numerous studies claim that AAL technologies are steadily improving their ability to assist individuals in need, this optimistic assessment must be weighed against a range of legal, ethical, and societal concerns. These often involve conflicts of interests, including conflicts between privacy, autonomy, safety, dignity, innovation, and effective care. One way of addressing such conflicts is through balancing. In the legal context, this raises a more specific question: What is balancing, and how can it be used to prevent or resolve conflicts?
 
 The main focus of this book is the application of balancing as a legal method for conflict management in the AAL context, particularly in connection with European law, fundamental rights, and AAL use in private homes. The book begins by identifying key stakeholders and their primary interests. It then combines risk identification with legal analysis to propose a method for identifying potential conflicts. Subsequently, it presents two principal approaches to balancing recognised in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union: proportionality and compromising. Each approach is analysed in detail, with particular attention to AI-driven AAL technologies.
 
 Building on these findings, the book develops a catalogue of legal tools for balancing. It also examines the possibility of an integrated model of balancing, proposes how such a model could be constructed, and evaluates its potential role as a risk and quality management system under the AI Act.
 
 By examining the concept of balance, methods of balancing, and legal tools for balancing, the book makes a substantial contribution to legal scholarship. It also advances research on AAL technologies by proposing a novel stakeholder classification system that combines analytical and legal approaches, identifying balancing tools applicable in the AAL context, and exploring models for risk and quality management under the AI Act.

Balancing Proactively

Juridicum – Schriftenreihe zum Wirtschafts-, Unternehmens- und Bankrecht / Series on Business, Corporate and Banking Law

This book examines the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on corporation management, with a particular focus on decision-making at the board level. As AI technologies increasingly permeate corporate structures, traditional legal frameworks face profound challenges in addressing issues of accountability, responsibility, and governance.
Adopting a comparative legal perspective, the study analyses the role of artificial intelligence within corporate boards under Turkish and German law. It explores the possibility of AI acting as a board member, its use as a strategic asset, and the legal implications of delegating managerial functions to AI systems. Particular attention is given to the evolving duties of directors, including the potential obligation to integrate AI into corporate management and the development of governance frameworks for its responsible use.
The book further examines key concerns such as fiduciary duties, liability, compliance, and the need for organisational restructuring in light of AI-driven decision-making. By bridging corporate law and emerging technologies, it contributes to contemporary debates at the intersection of law and innovation.
This work will be of interest to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in corporate law, commercial law, and technology law, and provides practical guidance for board members in navigating the challenges of AI-driven corporate governance.

Perspectives in Law, Business and Innovation

This Open Access book, the first volume in a two-part series on quantum technology governance, provides a systematic examination of the legal and regulatory dimensions of quantum technologies, offering an original contribution to the emerging discourse on quantum governance. It distinguishes itself as one of the first comprehensive analyses to explore how quantum technologies intersect with existing legal frameworks, addressing the implications of quantum advancements for law, policy, and regulatory practice. The work examines how developments in quantum computing, cryptography, and sensing challenge established approaches to intellectual property, cybersecurity regulation, export controls, and public international law, while identifying pathways for adapting and strengthening existing governance structures. It highlights how the non-classical features of quantum technologies stress-test conventional legal doctrines and require interpretive flexibility, anticipatory policymaking, and evidence-based regulatory strategies rather than wholesale reform. Grounded in developments through 2025, the volume equips policymakers with analytical tools to navigate legal uncertainty, balance innovation with risk, and address regulatory gaps in areas such as cybersecurity and export controls, while fostering coordinated responses at national and international levels. The book equips scholars, policymakers, and practitioners with conceptual and practical insights to evaluate the evolving interplay between technological innovation, security, and legal order in the quantum era. With an interdisciplinary perspective, it advances understanding of how legal and regulatory systems can respond to the technical and governance challenges posed by quantum technologies.

Quantum Technology Governance I

This book addresses the issue of algorithmic discrimination, assessing the extent to which the existing European legal framework on equality and non-discrimination can capture this phenomenon and provide effective legal protection. Intended primarily for legal scholars, it identifies potential safeguards while highlighting gaps and weaknesses in the current framework's ability to address unfair outcomes arising from algorithmic decision-making. The book examines the characteristics of algorithmic decision-making and the ways discrimination can emerge within these processes. It traces the evolution of the European Union's approach to equality and non-discrimination, from a focus on market integration to a broader emphasis on social objectives and fundamental rights. It further analyzes the challenges that algorithmic discrimination and differentiation pose to the structure and logic of EU non-discrimination law and concludes with a discussion of algorithmic discrimination in employment, considering the specific rights and interests of workers at stake.

Die Zukunft der Konfliktlösung

Smart Mediation

This book provides a current analysis of how legal norms, economic power, and technological transformation interact to reshape regulatory frameworks in a rapidly evolving global order. It offers a coherent and interdisciplinary perspective on the tensions between compliance, sanction, and efficiency, highlighting how law both responds to and structures contemporary market dynamics.
At its core, the volume explores the evolving architecture of regulation at the intersection of international business law, economic governance, and technological innovation. The first part critically examines regulatory mechanisms governing markets, focusing on sanctions and counter-sanctions, labor standards within the WTO framework, the limits of EU worker protection directives, third-party litigation funding, and the effectiveness of criminal sanctions in combating tax evasion. These contributions reveal structural inconsistencies between formal compliance and actual enforcement, exposing how legal instruments can both enable and constrain economic actors in a fragmented global system.
The second part addresses the profound normative transformation driven by digitalisation and emerging technologies. It investigates the shift from traditional legal codes to algorithmic governance, the challenges of intellectual property in the age of AI-generated content, and the use of artificial intelligence in international arbitration. Further, it interrogates new legal dilemmas such as the right to disconnect in digital economies and the growing entanglement between climate security narratives and business law. Together, these analyses demonstrate how technological systems are not merely tools but active normative agents reshaping authority, accountability, and legal reasoning.
The book responds to a central problem: the increasing misalignment between traditional legal frameworks and the complex realities of globalised, digitised, and politically fragmented markets. By bridging doctrinal analysis with critical and transdisciplinary insights, it offers conceptual clarity and practical pathways for understanding regulatory effectiveness in contexts marked by uncertainty, power asymmetries, and rapid innovation.
This volume is intended for academics, researchers, policymakers, and advanced practitioners in international law, business law, economic regulation, and law and technology, as well as for those engaged in interdisciplinary studies of governance in the digital age.

Legal Norms, Economic Power and Technological Change in Global Perspective

Through the integration of doctrinal and technical approaches, a new perspective on the ongoing evolution of the law emerges, both as a subject of regulation and as an object of computer implementation. In an era in which the law is no longer restricted to printed codes but operates within complex information systems, this volume offers an in-depth analysis of the very concept of legal text. Moving beyond paper-based, document-centric paradigms of law, this book introduces the concept of legal cybertext: a normative, structured, increasingly adaptive, and machine-processable form of text shaped by legal information technologies.&nbsp; The book develops the theoretical foundations of legal cybertext and examines how digital media transform the very nature of legal textuality. It reconceptualises legal texts as information systems, focusing on automated legal drafting, metadata standards, and e-legislation infrastructures. Finally, it presents future directions of development, including semantic automation, legal ontologies, visualisation tools, and the growing role of AI and blockchain in legal drafting and contracting. Drawing on an interdisciplinary range of expertise - from legal theory and text linguistics to computer science - the contributors demonstrate how legal provisions and contractual clauses are evolving from traditional forms into hypertextual and data-driven structures. The research presented in the book indicates that the cybertextuality of law transforms legal systems from static collections of legal acts into systems that enable automated reasoning and adaptive access to legal information. The analysis places these transformations within the broader regulatory context of the European Union. It will be welcomed by lawyers, legislators, regulators or legal tech practitioners who seek insight into the effects of the automation of law on legal drafting and interpretation.&nbsp; More than anything else, this book shows that the future of law lies not merely in the digital format of legal content, but in the transformation of legal data into a highly ordered, transparent and interactive information system.
