Fundamental Rights and Principles
Pieter van Dijk has devoted his working life to the theory and practice of fundamental rights and principles. Therefore, it may not come as a surprise that his liber amicorum is devoted to these values. Many of his friends and colleagues - from, inter alia, the Council of State of the Netherlands, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg, the European Commission for Democracy through Law of the Council of Europe - have contributed to this volume. They have analyzed fundamental rights and principles from various perspectives, including preconditions for safeguarding fundamental rights; the interaction between the Strasbourg, Luxembourg, and national courts; and constitutional review.

The Chinese government, which believes the Western development aid model has failed, is looking for new forms of aid and development in Africa. China's economic success can partly be ascribed to the huge availability of cheap labour, which is primarily employed in export-oriented industries. China is looking for the required raw materials in Africa, and for new marketplaces. Investments are being made on a large scale in Africa by Chinese state-controlled firms and ...
