Review The Law of Consumer Credit and Hire / Oxford University Press, USA:The second edition of Market Abuse Regulation offers a detailed analysis of the market abuse regime and the application of the regulations in the UK and EU. The work is of great value to financial services lawyers and companies who need a succinct, comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the regime and the implications for their businesses. Consideration is given to the implementation and interpretation of the regulations, the conduct of investigations, the defenses and appeals available against a finding of market abuse, and overlapping US regulation. Since the implementation of the EU Market Abuse Directive in the UK dates only from 2005, detailed consideration is given to the important enforcement policy decisions and market abuse cases which have been recently decided by the FSA and referred to the Financial Services Markets Tribunal. In particular, the new edition examines the modifications to enforcement procedures by the FSA, the move towards a more 'principles-based' approach to enforcement and the increased focus on senior management liability. The second edition of this well received work provides a comprehensive analysis of the market abuse regime in the UK and EU. This edition is updated to include critical commentary on the implementation and interpretation of the regulations, with reference to significant policy changes and recent market abuse cases. This is an important work for financial services lawyers and companies needing a fully up-to-date guide to the current regime and how it affects their businesses.

Review Transfer of Technology for Deep Sea-Bed Mining:The 1982 Law of the Sea Convention and Beyond (Publications on Ocean Development Vol 25) / Springer:A comprehensive study of transfer of technology for deep sea-bed mining under the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention and the controversies that have arisen about it. The book also discusses transfer of technology in international law in general and examines developments since the adoption of the 1982 Convention. These include national mining legislations of industrialized countries, extensive work by the Preparatory Commission for the establishment of the International Sea-Bed Authority and the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and the new compromise Agreement relating to the deep sea-bed mining regime adopted by the General Assembly on 28 July, 1994. The book appears at the time when the Convention enters into force (16 November 1994). It will be of interest to academic lawyers and economists with an interest in the deep sea-bed mining issue, as well as to all those in the sea-bed mining industry, in public service (governmental and inter-governmental) and in UN organizations, who are likely to get involved in deep sea-bed mining and/or transfer of technology issues.

Review Convention on the Prohibition and Elimination of Chemical Weapons: a Breakthrough in Multilateral Disarmament / la Convention Sur l'Interdiction et l'Elimination ... - Colloques/Workshops/ Law Books of the Ac) / Springer:After twenty years of negotiation within the framework of the Disarmament Conference, the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction was signed in Paris between 13 and 15 January 1993. At the same time, the signatory States adopted a resolution instituting a Preparatory Commission, established in The Hague, with the aim of `the prompt and effective establishment of the future Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons'. A variety of converging considerations led the Curatorium of the Academy of International Law to organize a workshop on this subject: first the very interesting nature of the highly sensitive problems raised by the destruction of chemical weapons, both on the strategic and political planes, as well as on technical, financial and ecological grounds; but also the originality and difficulty, from the legal standpoint, of the numerous questions which will inevitably arise in connection with the application of the Paris Convention. Finally, the Paris Convention, which is innovative in many respects, particularly in that it institutes international control over the whole of an industrial activity, may be used as a model in other areas of disarmament, in particular the area of nuclear weapons.

Review The First Hague Peace Conference of 1899:"The Parliament of Man, the Federation of the World" / Springer:`The Dawn of a New Era', as some rejoiced, `a printer's error in the history of mankind', as others loathed. From the day Czar Nicholas' Peace Rescript surprised a divided world, the First Hague Peace Conference has evoked irreconcilable responses. A predictable failure in the disarmament debate, a distinct leap ahead in curbing the Moloch of War, its lasting repute is linked to its brainchild, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the cradle of The Hague's present claim as self-imposed Juridical Capital of the World. By all accounts, this `First Parliament of Man' opened the door to the International Era and man's ultimate dream, `The Federation of the World'. The 1899 Hague Peace Conference pays tribute to this historical assembly. It deals comprehensively with the genesis, proceedings, and outcome of this first diplomatic encounter of its kind, in the political heart and royal residence of a small, yet ambitious nation. It details the substance matter of the Conference, to put a check on the armaments spiral, to restrain the evils and control the customs of war, and to provide for the peaceful settlement of disputes. Enlarging on the intense debate in committees large and small, the publication likewise echoes the splendour of the ceremonial sittings of the Plenary, that `New Areopagus' gathered in the House in the Wood, itself the glorification of the Peace of Westphalia, its exotic drawing rooms and celebrated canvasses the pinnacle of arts and crafts of the Dutch Golden Age. On top of this, the work colourfully portrays to a man the full hundred delegates, politicians, diplomats, jurists, and military men, luminaries of the day most of them, and highlights some of their astounding addresses. It introduces the world of pacifists, led by Bloch, Stead, and Von Suttner, who gravitated in great numbers to the hotels of repute at the luxury seashore resort. [+]In a wealth of anecdotes distilled from diaries, memoirs and magazines, this jubilee book pictures in gorgeous detail the splendid social entourage of royal receptions, public dinners and cultural excursions. Lavishly illustrated with scores of ravishing pictures it sketches The Hague of the Belle Epoque, the world of Mesdag and Couperus. Based on primary sources and in-depth research, this commemorative publication is an essentially multi-disciplined approach to a pivotal diplomatic venue, a sweeping legal debate, and a breath-taking social event.

Review The Law of the Sea, the EU and Its Member States (Publications on Ocean Development, V. 28) / Springer:The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 entered into force on 16 November 1994. Since this date a single binding instrument has regulated the rights and duties of States at sea and regarding the sea. New concepts, such as the exclusive economic zone, archipelagic waters, transit passage through straits, and the International Seabed Area, are now fully recognized. The fifteen member States of the European Union are a significant sample for analyzing the practice of States, or at least that of the Western industrialized States, as regards the law of the sea. They include major and small maritime powers, coastal and land-locked States, States with coasts on the Atlantic Ocean and States with coasts on semi-enclosed seas such as the Baltic and the Mediterranean, States with and without involvement in deep seabed mining and States with different interests as regards fisheries. The fact that they all belong to the European Union is a very important common feature, which amply justifies the choice made to study them together. The book's aim is to give, through essays prepared by well-known specialists, a detailed survey of the attitudes and practice concerning the law of the sea of the member States of the European Union and of the European Community as such. The common positions of the member States and the results of their coordinated action also emerge from these essays. The fact that the member States and the European Community are now actively engaged in the process of becoming parties to the Law of the Sea Convention is certainly a major contribution to the consolidation of the Convention as a universal instrument, or at least as an instrument widely ratified by States of all continents and economic and political interests.

Review Sir Gerald Fitzmaurice and the World Crisis of 1930-1945 / Springer:Fitzmaurice and the World Crisis examines the impact of the legal advice of G. G. Fitzmaurice on the making of British Foreign Policy during the key phases of the developing World Crisis, from 1932 to 1945, in relations with Japan and Germany. Particular attention is given to whether relations with Germany were defined in terms of classical power politics or in a new language of the rule of law in international society. The main themes highlight Fitzmaurice's contribution to the shaping of major issues and illustrate the breadth of scope in the work of the legal adviser: the Manchurian Crisis; Anglo-German relations in the 1930s; the concluding of the Anglo-Polish Treaty of 1939; economic warfare and the laws of war at sea (1939-43); debate surrounding the nature of Germany's surrender and the drafting of armistice terms. The book breaks new ground with respect to the basic technical crafts of the international lawyer. It shows how the skills of the diplomatic historian, working with unpublished Foreign Office archives, are essential to unravelling the true legal practice of a state as an element in the evolution of customary international law. The aim is not simply to unearth and present, in a minimally edited form, the legal opinions of Fitzmaurice, but also to assess his impact within the Foreign Office. It concludes that the role of the individual international lawyer in government institutions is potentially very significant. However, his influence depends not simply on the stubbornness with which he holds onto his professional expertise, but also on his moral vision and sensitivity towards the complexities of the context in which he has the potential to shape events.

Review The New Chemical Weapons Convention--Implementation and Prospectus / Springer:The Chemical Weapons Convention entered into force on 29 April 1997, and the major player, namely the United States, ratified it shortly before that date. This constitutes an important achievement in disarmament law and also a step forward in general international law, as the Convention, in order to solve a serious security problem, establishes an unprecedented regime for controlling relevant state and private behaviour, administered by a newly-created international organization. The system being both new and complex, there is a considerable need for interpretation and explanation. In order to make the Chemical Weapons Convention really work, additional measures of implementation are needed. These two problems are addressed by the various contributions presented in this book, which is the result of a common research project of three teams directed by the three editors. It reviews the history of the negotiations and then presents a thorough analysis of the major theatres of the Convention: the organization (OPCW), the verification regime, dispute settlement and reactions to non-compliance. More specific issues include confidentiality, application during armed conflicts, trade issues and national implementation. The information contained in the volume, including the report on the work of the Preparatory Commission, is up-to-date at the time of entry into force.

Review The Public International Law of Taxation: Text, Cases, and Materials / Kluwer Law International:This book orientates tax practitioners to the public international law aspects of taxation. Equally it provides a framework from which public international lawyers may probe more deeply into the legal challenges posed by the interaction of national taxation with international law. As such, the characterization of the subject as the public international law of taxation is not only foremost in the field, but also a statement of the need for an international consciousness in relation to issues of taxation. Thus far, the analysis from an international law standpoint has been specific; for example, problems of treaty interpretation in relation to double taxation agreements, fiscal jurisdiction, the regulation of international trade and taxation. In this publication, drawing on original and secondary sources, the assimilation accompanied by the commentary provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject in one source. Significantly for the tax practitioner it opens up a window to an international law library.

Review Contemporary Developments in Nuclear Energy Law (International Energy & Resources Law and Policy Series Set) / Kluwer Law International:In recent years there has been much concern about the safety of nuclear installations in Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) and the Newly Independent States (NIS). The enhancement of such safety has been a focal point in the discussions on enlargement of international organisations such as the EU, OECD and NATO. To provide these States with nuclear safety-related assistance, several funds were set up to finance technical and legal assistance on a multilateral as well as bilateral basis. However, the release of such money has been hampered by the absence of complete legal protection against potentially huge liability claims against the governments and companies that provide the assistance. The problem of nuclear liability constitutes a serious impediment to the performance of safety-related assistance work in the CEEC/NIS. In turn, this threatens the overall protection of the international community against nuclear hazards. This impasse is the main focus of this book. Contemporary Developments in Nuclear Energy Law: Harmonising Legislation in CEEC/NIS provides an overview of the latest legislative developments concerning nuclear safety and liability in the CEEC/NIS, as well as an analysis of related international and national legislative, financial and technical initiatives. The objective is to bring together the various approaches of academic, governmental, industrial and CEEC/NIS expertise. Special attention is given to the recently adopted 1997 Protocol to Amend the Vienna Convention, the 1997 Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage and the 1997 Joint Convention on the Safety of Spent Fuel Management and on the Safety of Radioactive Waste Management. [+]Several case studies highlight certain nuclear liability or safety-related developments and experience in several identified CEEC/NIS, inter alia, Lithuania, Russian Federation and Ukraine. This is placed within the context of an overview of international and independent assistance programmes and `Memoranda of Understanding' established by industry and various organisations, such as the EU, the EBRD (Nuclear Safety Account), the IAEA and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency. In the book's four constituent parts, the various contributors analyse the problems concerning safety and liability legislation implementation in CEEC/NIS with the aim of hastening a practical solution, adequate to the task of minimising the present risk of transboundary nuclear damage.

Review Parameter Estimation, Condition Monitoring, and Diagnosis of Electrical Machines (Monographs in Electrical and Electronic Engineering) / Oxford University Press, USA:Condition monitoring of electrical machines and drive systems is a vital factor to achieve efficient and profitable operation of a large variety of industrial processes. Similarly, parameter estimation is important for the machine designer, and invaluable to the operator of modern drives implementing various types of controllers. It is also necessary to know the machine parameters for a number of simulation purposes. The chapters in this volume cover recent trends and advances in these and other areas, including sections on on-line and off-line parameter estimation of smooth-air-gap and salient-pole electrical machines, their diagnosis, and condition monitoring. New real-time monitoring devices, vibroacoustic techniques, and the symptoms and possible causes of failures of electrical machines are also discussed. In the book a unified and in-depth physical and mathematical analysis of the various parameter estimators and condition monitoring methods is presented. For this purpose, where possible, space phasor theory is utilized and the most recent and modern developments in the field are incorporated. The book is intended for academic and professional electrical engineers, and all those responsible for the performance, maintenance, and design of electrical machines and drive systems.
