In The Continental Shelf Beyond 200 Nautical Miles, Bjarni Már Magnússon explores various aspects of the establishment of the outer limits of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles and maritime boundary delimitations. Special emphasis is laid on the interplay between these processes and the role of coastal States, the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf and international courts and tribunals in this regard. Magnússon convincingly argues that despite the possibility for tension to arise the relationship between the relevant institutions and processes is clear and precise and they together form a coherent system where each separate institution plays its own part in a larger process.

Under the United Nations Law of the Sea Convention, States have sovereign rights over the resources of their continental shelf out to 200 nautical miles from the coast. Where the physical shelf extends beyond 200 nautical miles, States may exercise rights over those resources to the outer limits of the continental shelf. More than 80 States may be entitled to claim sovereign rights over their continental shelf where it extends beyond 200 nautical miles from their coast, and the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf is currently examining many of these claims. This book examines the nature of the rights and obligations of coastal States in this area, with a particular focus on the...

This book examines the representation and historical significance of the legendary Scandinavian past as it is depicted in two late medieval Icelandic saga manuscripts: AM 589a–f 4to and AM 586 4to. It situates the manuscripts within their literary, media, and historical contexts to read the legendary sagas (or fornaldarsögur) within them as works of historical writing. The qualities about them that are often used to deny them the label of ‘history ́ — their proximity to romance and ‘folklore’, and their playfully self-conscious narration — are reinterpreted as conscious attempts to reconfigure cultural memory to suit the needs of the manuscripts’ fifteenth-century patrons. Th...
Dieses Buch versetzt Analystinnen und Analysten in Regierung, Privatwirtschaft und Think Tanks in die Lage, globale Risiken und Chancen systematisch zu bewerten, informierte Entscheidungen zu treffen und Unvorhergesehenes zu antizipieren. Die Autoren beleuchten die Grundlagen intuitiven und analytischen Denkens und zeigen auf, wie strukturierte Analysetechniken die Auswirkungen kognitiver Verzerrungen, falsch angewandter Heuristiken und intuitiver Fallen abmildern können. Drei Fallstudien veranschaulichen die Anwendung von über 30 Strukturierten Analyse-Techniken (SAT) in Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitungen.
