Review Considerations of Equity in the Settlement of Territorial and Boundary Disputes (International Law in Japanese Perspective, Vol 2) (International Law in Japanese Perspective, Vol 2) / Springer:An increasing reference to equity can be seen in recent international treaties, despite the general and sustainable, criticism of its application to the legal relations between states on the grounds of its subjectivity. Be that as it may, States tend to insert equitable provisions in treaties, either in the preamble or in the operative clauses, particularly those dealing with dispute settlement. This is a direct reflection of the States' awareness of the need for a practical response to changes or new developments in international relations which cause or may cause gaps in the existing rules of international law. There are many unresolved territorial and boundary disputes in the world today and Japan has its share of them. Logically, all such disputes require settlement, but experience shows that they tend to remain unsettled unless some urgent impulse is given, such as the need to explore or exploit hydrocarbon resources in the disputed area. Recent international arbitral and judicial decisions in this area seem to be based on an equitable solution based on the consideration of the relevant circumstances. The fact that this study is included in the "International Law in Japanese Perspective" series does not mean that it offers practical solutions for the many Japanese territorial disputes, rather, it is an analytical study of equitable considerations in past cases of territorial and boundary dispute settlement. A careful reader, however, should detect what may be called a Japanese perspective in the manner in which the arbitrations are analyzed, and in the discussion of the theoretical aspects in Chapters III and IV. "International Law in Japanese Perspective" is a series which provides an insight into the latest developments in Japan's attitude towards international law and practice. The series contains works on Japan's contribution to and position in international law, as well as works by Japanese scholars on general questions of international law.

Review The Settlement of Foreign Investment Disputes / Kluwer Law International:Disputes arising from foreign investment activities are on the increase, and with them a growing awareness among practitioners of a greater variety of settlement methods than most legal analyses have dealt with heretofore. With the experience gained in recent years from a broad spectrum of successful negotiation, arbitration, and litigation techniques, it is possible to derive a comprehensive, critical survey of the principal methods of settling foreign investment disputes. This outstanding book masterfully provides such a survey. The Settlement of Foreign Investment Disputes in International Law treats the subject systematically, dealing first with the internal balances within modern foreign investment contracts, the complexities that arise due to state participation or interference in these contracts, and the stances that are taken when disputes arise. It goes on to examine, in turn, the main issues involved in negotiation, arbitration, and judicial settlement as the methods of settling foreign investment disputes, discussing the controversial themes in each of these methods in detail. Recognizing that the focus of attention is shifting to the misconduct of multinational corporations, the last chapter contains a discussion of the role of domestic courts.

Review Strategic Coercion: Concepts and Cases / Oxford University Press, USA:This book argues for a reappraisal of the role of strategic coercion, defined as the deliberate and purposive use of overt threats to influence another's strategic choices, and emphasizes the importance of drawing on the experiences of countries other than the United States, and of considering the new circumstances of the post cold war world.

Review The Dynamics of International Law in Conflict Resolution / Springer:This work approaches international law as more than merely information contained in international legal norms, and does not view international law as a body of objective and binding normative commands. As "legal knowledge", international law encompasses rules, practices and the expectations actors derive through legal reasoning from conventional legal rules, customary norms, international adjudication, and international legal theory. The study is in three parts. Part 1 constructs a framework to analyze the effectiveness of international law to influence decision-making within conflict resolution processes. Drawing on the contending approaches of the New Haven School of International Law and its rivals and applying various devices of linkage theory, the analysis isolates variables and indicators of the impact of legal expectations on actors' perceptions about the normative contents of such rules in a particular bargaining process. Parts II and III apply the framework of Part I to explain the role of international law in the Central American peace negotiations of the 1980s. Using the framework, Parts II and III identify sources of uncertainty and diverging expectations in the Western Hemisphere that aggravated rather than assuaged in Central American crisis. Parts II and III also explain the normative constraints that affected Central American decision-makers and provided the basis for most of the regional consensus within the Esquipulas meeting. With the help of heuristic devices from the behavioural sciences, this study of international law proposes an alternative to the traditional views of international legal effectiveness in the modern world.

Review Third Party Dispute Settlement in an Interdependent World:Developing a Theoretical Framework (Developments in International Law, Vol 19) (Developments in International Law, Vol 19) / Springer:The central theme of this book is the strengthening of the legitimacy and integrity of international law in the post-Cold War, interdependent international community. The investigation focuses on the relationship between international decision-making procedures, in particular compulsory third party dispute settlement, and legitimacy and integrity as perceived by states and other international actors. It starts with a description of recent developments with regard to dispute settlement in the law of the sea, GATT/WTO, Antarctica, and global environmental protection. Compulsory third-party dispute settlement has been accepted in treaty regimes in these fields as it is indispensable in safeguarding the legitimacy and integrity of such regimes. The focus then shifts to an extensive analysis of changes in the international community in general, and their consequences for the international legal system. By focusing on legitimacy and integrity, and by providing a theoretical framework in which these concepts can be applied, this book contributes significantly to the discussion of the theoretical foundations of international law. The author is winner of the 1995 Award of the Foundation Praemium Erasmianum, Amsterdam.

Review Building Peace: Sustainable Reconciliation in Divided Societies / United States Institute of Peace Press:A major work from a seminal figure in the field of conflict resolution, "Building Peace" is John Paul Lederach's definitive statement on peacebuilding. Marrying wisdom, insight, and passion, Lederach explains why we need to move beyond "traditional" diplomacy, which often emphasizes top-level leaders and short-term objectives, toward a holistic approach that stresses the multiplicity of peacemakers, long-term perspectives, and the need to create an infrastructure that empowers resources within a society and maximizes contributions from outside. Sophisticated yet pragmatic, the volume explores the dynamics of contemporary conflict and presents an integrated framework for peacebuilding in which structure, process, resources, training, and evaluation are coordinated in an attempt to transform the conflict and effect reconciliation. "Building Peace" is a substantive reworking and expansion of a work developed for the United Nations University in 1994. In addition, this volume includes a chapter by practitioner John Prendergast that applies Lederach's conceptual framework to ongoing conflicts in the Horn of Africa.

Review Diplomacy on the Jordan: International Conflict and Negotiated Resolution (Natural Resource Management and Policy) / Springer:The Jordan River waters are essential for the development and well being of the people of its basin. Plans for the development of its water resources were considered since the beginning of the twentieth century, and have long been central to dispute between riparian nations. This volume reviews the roots of conflict over the Jordan between Arabs and Jews and the development of that conflict over the past 150 years. It analyzes the positions of Arabs and Israelis and the role of the United States in promoting a settlement. The work then presents the development of a negotiated resolution of that part of the conflict related to Jordan and Israel through the Middle East Peace Process. This book approaches the Jordanian-Israeli water affairs in the Jordan River Basin with a wide interdisciplinary perspective. It unfolds the full history of the dispute and negotiation process, beginning in the 1950s and ending with the water accord in 1974.

Review The OSCE in the Maintenance of Peace and Security:Conflict Prevention, Crisis Management and Peaceful Settlement of Disputes / Springer:The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe is now a well-established international organization endowed with a sophisticated institutional web, which should allow it to perform the historical task of stabilizing Europe. As a regional organization under Chapter VIII of the United Nations Charter, the OSCE can avail itself of classical tools of conflict prevention and crisis management, such as dispute settlement and peace-keeping. Lawyers immediately perceive the peculiarity of an organization whose constitutive instrument lies in the province of soft law instead of being based on a formal treaty. The book illustrates the OSCE institutional system and gives a critical evaluation of its ability to cope with an evolving European security order. It covers extensively three main subjects, which form the core of the OSCE: human rights (human dimension), peaceful settlement of disputes, and peace-keeping. Consequently, the volume deals with the human dimension mechanisms, the High Commissioner of National Minorities, long-term missions, peace-keeping instruments and OSCE relations with the United Nations and European security organizations, the Valletta mechanism and the OSCE Court of Conciliation and Arbitration. The OSCE in the Maintenance of Peace and Security is a collective enterprise, involving the efforts of lawyers, career diplomats, international-relations scholars and international officials. The practice of the Organization is thoroughly examined, including case-studies such as Nagorno-Karabakh and the former Yugoslavia, and the theoretical foundation of OSCE instruments and functions is extensively analyzed. A chapter on OSCE's Mediterranean dimension examines the OSCE periphery and the possibility of its geographical expansion. Consultation is facilitated by an ample index. [+]The OSCE in the Maintenance of Peace and Security gives a complete account of the OSCE structure, functions and perspectives, making it useful for lawyers, international relations experts, diplomats and international civil servants.

Review The Authority of the Security Council under Chapter VII of the UN Charter:Legal Limits and the Role of the International Court of Justice (Studies and ... Settlement of International Disputes, V. 8) / Springer:This volume discusses the legal limits to the authority of the Security Council under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. The interest in this topic regained importance when the Security Council started to play an increasingly active role after a period of dormancy between 1945 and 1990. The work describes various approaches to Charter interpretation, provides an overview of the Council's powers under the Charter and surveys the Council's practice with regard to the maintenance of international peace and security. Subsequently the sources and contents of the limits to the Council's authority are analyzed. This is followed by an analysis of the role of the International Court of Justice, which includes an overview of the main obstacles to, and possibilities of, judicial review by the Court of Council decisions taken under Chapter VII. Finally, the work discusses proposals to enhance the Council's legitimacy.

Review Exclusion from Participation in International Organizations:The Law and Practice Behind Member States' Expulsion and Suspension of Membership (Studies ... Settlement of International Disputes, V. 5) / Springer:This volume deals with expulsion from and suspension of membership rights in international organizations. This is an area of the law of international organizations which has attracted limited attention by academic writers. The book examines some 35 different international organizations by analyzing the relevant provisions in their constitutive instruments and, where available, discussing the practice. Additionally, it describes in considerable detail the practice of rejecting delegations' credentials as a means of excluding Member States from participation. Moreover, it suggests solutions for those international organizations lacking expulsion and/or suspension clauses by applying the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties and the theory of countermeasures in international law, especially as codified by the International Law Commission. Finally, the book offers a model expulsion and suspension clause to be incorporated in existing or future international organizations.

Review Dispute Settlement in Public International Law: Texts and Materials / Springer:In recent years, instruments and institutions for dispute settlement have multiplied. They now cover almost all areas of international law ranging from international economic law and international criminal law to more traditional fields such as arbitration procedures. Given this development, it became necessary, if not mandatory, to envisage a revised, updated and considerably enlarged second edition of the standard compilation of texts and materials on dispute settlement in public international law, which was first published in 1984 under the auspices of the Heidelberg Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law. Continuing that tradition, the second edition has largely retained the purpose and concept of the publication, namely to make available to researchers, scholars and practitioners a comprehensive collection of more than 150 different instruments which are otherwise sometimes rather difficult to find elsewhere.
