General Interests of Host States in International Investment Law
Signatory States have the right to take action in order to maintain their financial stability, stimulate economic development or further their non-economic interests (such as health, the environment and food security). However, such measures can potentially conflict with the rights of foreign investors. Regulators and policy makers must take States' international commitments toward foreign investors into account when making decisions. They must also avoid resorting to protectionism in drafting new treaties. With this tension in mind, this book offers a balanced reappraisal of bilateral treaties and regional agreements on foreign investments. The sensitive issues are examined in the light of the case law of arbitral investment tribunals and other international courts, and the analysis highlights how cross-fertilisation between trade and investment can assist in resolving conflicts.
Irony Through Psychoanalysis
The title of this book, Irony Through Psychoanalysis, reveals its double register in which the psychoanalysis and irony are respectively the object and the means (or the viewpoint) or vice versa. Thus, the first chapter reviews the modern concepts of irony through the psychoanalytic lens, whilst the two central chapters examine clinical psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic theorization from the perspective of irony. Making extensive use of detailed personal material, Chapter Two looks at how the concept of irony might be broadened to include preconscious and unconscious aspects, and how we might speak of latent irony, even in those who are emitting the message. This contrasts with the position of Freud as a student of irony, who claimed that irony does not require involving the unconscious. It corresponds, however, much more closely to Freud's position as ironist, which is examined in Chapters Three and Four.

Italian Yearbook of International Law 24 (2014)
The mission of the "The Italian Yearbook of International Law" is to make available to the English speaking public the Italian contribution to the literature and practice of international law. It is fitting with this mission that this Volume XXIV opens with a focus on the controversial Judgment No. 238/2014 of the Italian Constitutional Court on the unconstitutionality of State immunity for international crimes. The five contributions by Francioni, Pisillo Mazzeschi, Bothe, Cataldi, and Palchetti provide a variety of opinions on the timely issue of how traditional doctrines of State immunity may be reconciled with the need to protect victims of international crimes and what kind of alternative forms of protection may be available when immunity prevents access to judicial remedies.

Piero Sacerdoti
Giorgio Sacerdoti si avvale di una fitta corrispondenza familiare, preziosamente conservata, per raccontare la vita del padre Piero (Milano 1905), un importante esponente della vita imprenditoriale e culturale milanese di respiro internazionale - dirigente d’azienda, docente universitario, collaboratore di giornali e riviste - negli anni della ricostruzione e del ‘miracolo economico’ italiano.
