The BRICS-Lawyers' Guide to Global Cooperation
Explores the role of law in different areas of BRICS cooperation and the impact it can make on global governance.
Law in the Time of Oxymora
What do different concepts like true lie, bad luck, honest thief, old news, spacetime, glocalization, symplexity, sustainable development, constant change, soft law, substantive due process, pure law, bureaucratic efficiency and global justice have in common? What connections do they share with innumerable paradoxes, like the ones of happiness, time, globalization, sex, and of free will and fate? Law in the Time of Oxymora provides answers to these conundrums by critically comparing the apparent rise in recent years of the use of rhetorical figures called "essentially oxymoronic concepts" (i.e. oxymoron, enantiosis and paradoxes) in the areas of art, science and law. Albeit to varying degree...
A Post-WTO International Legal Order
This book provides readers with a unique opportunity to explore how the international economic legal order (IELO) may look in a post-WTO world. The substance of this book presupposes (whether correct or not) that the WTO either: (a) Stagnates into the foreseeable future (Doha withers, no new Rounds, at best minor amendments, little new jurisprudence, effective collapse of the DSB); or (b) Falls apart completely. While neither is desirable, the book underlines that it must be conceded that neither is inconceivable. The collapse of the Soviet Union tells us that anything is possible (in 1986 no one foresaw the end of the Cold War - clearly it was a much more significant event than would be the...
The BRICS-Lawyers' Guide to BRICS Texts and Materials
THE BRICS-LAWYERS GUIDE TO BRICS TEXTS AND MATERIALS presents a first systematic compendium of the most important texts and materials of BRICS cooperation in order to make them accessible for the comfortable use by government officials, practicing lawyers and arbitrators, scholars and students of international relations, business, economics and law. The texts and materials include treaties, Summit Declarations by Heads of State, Ministerial Declarations, Declarations adopted by the BRICS Legal Forum and other official documents. The book also includes a chronological presentation of the first decade of the BRICS cooperation followed by a discussion on the subject of sources of (international) law so as to facilitate attempts to classify the various BRICS documents in terms of "sources of BRICS law".
Irresolvable Norm Conflicts in International Law
Many are familiar with the concept of a moral dilemma - a situation where a person faces a choice between two mutually exclusive actions. This book considers whether situations of this kind could and should exist within the sphere of international law.
International Development Assistance and the BRICS
This book aims to bring together a series of analyses on international development assistance in the BRICS, the group of countries that includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The BRICS states comprise approximately 3 billion people (~40% of the World’s population) and in terms of GDP account for 16.8 trillion dollars (~22% of the World’s economy). Over the last decade the loose coalition has evolved to become a formal partnership on both economic and political fronts. The first formal meeting of the then-four BRIC countries took place in 2006 during the United Nations General Assembly. This was followed in 2009 by the first summit of BRICS' heads of state, an event which has been convened annually ever since. On 3-5 September 2017, the ninth BRICS Summit was hosted in Xiamen, China. This book, an anthology of scholars based in BRICS countries, provides invaluable insights into the emerging global south coalition, and will be of interest to scholars, employees of NGOs, and China watchers.
