Revitalizing the World Trading System
In recent years, the world trading system has been confronted by a range of new and developing challenges: the risk of climate change, the instability of the digital economy, the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and the threat of future pandemics, to name but a few. In this book, veteran trade negotiator, Ambassador Alan Wm. Wolff, draws from his years of experience at the World Trade Organization to consider the history of trade, the current trading system and how it should be reformed in the future. Offering a rare insight into the inner workings of the WTO, Wolff is uniquely placed to identify deficiencies in the current system and suggest actionable solutions. This essential guidebook to the WTO equips readers with the tools and knowledge required to tackle to emerging and emergent challenges of a global trading system.
Court Assistance in the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration
Although international arbitration is widely hailed as an efficient, confidential and flexible way of settling commercial disputes, it has its limits. The arbitral tribunal’s lack of coercive power is thrown into particularly stark relief when it comes to the taking of evidence from third parties outside the arbitral proceedings. If they do not comply voluntarily with the request of the arbitral tribunal to testify as a witness or disclose documents, assistance must be sought from state courts. As the success of a case hinges on the evidence that a party can obtain, it is crucial to understand how to obtain evidence through state courts. At the heart of this work is the question of the conditions under which state courts may offer assistance in international arbitral proceedings. With a special focus on Switzerland and comparative aspects, this book provides helpful tactical insights for arbitral practitioners around the world.
Indeterminacy of International Law?
The most important (in)determinacy theses in international law since the 1920s are scrutinised in this book. As Severin Meier demonstrates, the extent of legal determinacy depends neither on some linguistic essence found in the text nor on theories that allegedly stand above practice. Instead, the (in)determinacy of law is shown to arise purely from practice. This reconceptualisation of a key discussion in legal philosophy provides a new perspective on the frame of meaning of legal norms.
Improving Procedural Justice in Anti-Dumping Investigations
Provides empirical insights from the exporters, WTO legal experts and government officials who dealt with anti-dumping investigations.
Constitutionalism and Transnational Governance Failures
This book explores strategies for limiting transnational market failures, governance failures and constitutional failures impeding protection of the universally agreed sustainable development goals like climate change mitigation and access to justice and transnational rule-of-law. Can multilevel democratic and judicial protection of fundamental rights and public goods across frontiers be extended through plurilateral agreements? Can transnational economic and environmental constitutionalism be reconciled with ‘constitutional pluralism’ and with democratic constitutionalism depending on individual and democratic consent of free and equal citizens? Will judicial challenges (e.g. of EU carb...

Bail-In and Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC)
As opposed to a bank bailout, a bail-in occurs when creditors are forced to bear some of the burden of bank failure. The principal aim of this restructuring tool is to eliminate some of the risk for taxpayers. Several jurisdictions, including Switzerland and the European Union (EU), have adopted legal provisions regarding the bail-in, but until this, book literature on its implementation has been scarce. Offering a detailed and comparative analysis of EU and Swiss law relating to bail-ins and their economic impact, this is the first book to provide in-depth coverage of this new method of dealing with the failure of systemically important banks. In its contextualisation and analysis of the ba...
Insurance Systems in Times of Climate Change
Natural disasters such as large-scale flooding are on the increase. Climate change directly affects our basis of existence. This includes residential buildings, and commercial and industrial properties. The author highlights the requirements that will have to be met by a protection system for buildings in the future. Insurance against natural hazards lies at the heart of such a system. The insurance systems of Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland and the USA are presented. The author explains what type of insurance system is best suited to meet the challenge of climate change. The starting point of the legal section is statutory insurance with a monopoly. The question of whether such insurance is compatible with Swiss and EU law is examined. Keywords in this respect are economic freedom, competition, services of general interest and universal service.

Die Staatsunabhängigkeit der Medien
Sollen die journalistischen Medien ihre demokratiewesentlichen Aufgaben der öffentlichen Meinungsbildung und der Kontrolle staatlicher Macht wirksam wahrnehmen können, müssen sie vom Staat unabhängig sein. Gleichzeitig hat ebendieser Staat ein vielfältiges Medienangebot zu gewährleisten und die Öffentlichkeit über seine Tätigkeiten zu informieren. Dieses Spannungsverhältnis verschärft sich im Internetzeitalter, in welchem die teure journalistische Inhaltsproduktion immer weniger als gesichert gilt. So aktualisiert sich dadurch die staatliche Pflicht, den Medienpluralismus etwa durch die Organisation eines Service Public-Systems oder anderweitiger Fördermassnahmen zu sichern und eine aktive Öffentlichkeitsarbeit wahrzunehmen. Dies erhöht wiederum die Gefahr, dass der Staat die Medientätigkeit beeinflusst oder selber zum Medienanbieter wird. Welche Grenzen der Staat in diesem Kontext zu beachten hat, wird in diesem Buch anhand einer mediengattungsübergreifenden verfassungs- und völkerrechtlichen Analyse des Prinzips der Staatsunabhängigkeit der Medien herausgearbeitet.
