Non-State Actors' Rights in Maritime Delimitation
"A different approach to international boundary-making The field of boundary-making is multi-disciplinary. Boundaries were first studied by geographers, engineers, and commissioners concerned with the science of delimitation.

Regulation of Extractive Industries
This book intends to inform the key participants in extractive projects – namely, the communities, the host governments and the investors – about good practice for effective community engagement, based on analysis of international standards and expectations, lessons from selected case-studies and innovations in public participation. The extent of extractive industries varies widely around the Arctic as do governmental and social attitudes towards resource development. Whilst most Arctic communities are united in seeking investment to fund education, healthcare, housing, transport and other essential services, as well as wanting to benefit from improved employment and business opportuniti...
Historical Dictionary of Kenya
Kenya has a rich and complex history. Due to the vast discoveries of prehistoric archaeological remains, Kenya is one of the few places in the world with the largest and most complete record of human’s cultural development. Furthermore, the country’s strategic location astride the Indian Ocean and the East African littoral attracted numerous foreigners such as the Arabs, Persians, Portuguese, Americans, British, Chinese, French, and Germans. Additionally, immigrants from throughout Africa and beyond have settled in Kenya to escape conflict or political persecution, while others wanted an opportunity to begin a new life. As a result of being a gateway to the world, the country traditional...
International Agreements Between Non-State Actors as a Source of International Law
This book examines whether international agreements between non-state actors can be identified as a source of international law using objective criteria. It asks whether, beyond Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, there is a system of rules, processes, beliefs or semantics by which these agreements can be objectively identified as a source of international law. Departing from the more usual state-centric analysis, it adopts postmodern legal positivism as its analytical tool. This allows for the reality that international law-making takes place in subjective social landscapes. To test the effectiveness of this approach, it is applied to agreements between petroleum agencies and corporations which allow two or more states to exploit disputed resources across boundaries looking in particular at arrangements involving China, Vietnam and the Philippines. By so doing it illustrates an alternative way that states can manage disputes, without having to resort to conflict. It will appeal to both scholars and practitioners of public international law, as well as civil servants.
Frauen, Macht und Trauma im Kalten Krieg
Der zweite Band der Reihe ›Alternative Biografien‹ bündelt Biografien von politisch aktiven Frauen, die im Höhepunkt des Kalten Krieges Geschichte schrieben. Mamali Panagiotou gewährt damit eine erkenntnisreiche Perspektive auf die nachkriegerische Geschichte, widerspricht einer androzentrischen Tradition in der Historiografie und lässt Gendergerechtigkeit widerfahren. Die Akteurinnen bilden ein unzertrennliches Kollektiv − auch wenn es wohl nie zu einer Begegnung kam. Die zwei Profiteurinnen Hilde Benjamin (DDR) und Ana Pauker (Rumänien) befanden sich an der Spitze der Politik, während die anderen zwei Oppositionellen Ethel Rosenberg (USA) und Elli Pappa (Griechenland) unter imm...

Maritime Disputes and International Law
The settlement of the maritime boundary disputes between China and Japan in the East China Sea, and between Greece and Turkey in the Aegean Sea, is politically deadlocked. While diplomatic settlement efforts have been ongoing for the past several decades, neither side in each case appears prepared to back down from its respective maritime and territorial claims. Several incidents at sea have occurred, prompting diplomatic protests, military standoffs, even exchange of fire. The existing status quo is inherently unstable and does not favour either side to the extent that it holds hostage the multiple benefits that could otherwise be generated from the exploitation of the seabed energy and min...
The Regulation of Decommissioning, Abandonment and Reuse Initiatives in the Oil and Gas Industry
In the process of resolving disputes, it is not uncommon for parties to justify actions otherwise in breach of their obligations by invoking the need to protect some aspect of the elusive concept of public order. Until this thoroughly researched book, the criteria and factors against which international dispute bodies assess such claims have remained unclear. Now, by providing an in-depth comparative analysis of relevant jurisprudence under four distinct international dispute resolution systems – trade, investment, human rights and international commercial arbitration – the author of this invaluable book identifies common core benchmarks for the application of the public order exception....
