This sixth volume (2015) of the European Yearbook of International Economic Law puts a particular emphasis on non-tariff barriers (NTBs) to trade and the world trade order. With the steady reduction of tariff rates since the GATT 47 came into force, focus in recent years has been on the vast and complex landscape of non-tariff barriers to trade. States as well as scholars seemingly struggle with the multitude of measures pooled under this expression as there is no single, acknowledged definition of the term, and its relation to the term "non-tariff measures" remains equally blurred. Particularly in practice and on a multilateral level, there appears to be some awkwardness when it comes to coping with NTBs since multilateral trade rules seem to be in conflict with national regulatory autonomy in the pursuit of policy objectives. In part one, this volume sheds light on the problems of non-tariff barriers to trade that arise in various fields.Part two focuses on regional integration with an emphasis on relations between East Asia and the European Union. In this regard, the authors outline the trade and investment relations between the European Union and East Asia, including Japan, Korea and Singapore. Part three offers an overview of recent institutional developments in WIPO, ICSID, WTO and WTO jurisprudence. Part four includes book reviews of recent works in the field of international economic law, and part five introduces a new section on publications in the field of international economic law that were released in 2013 and 2014.

This book introduces the fundamental monetary law problems of cross-border economic activity and the solutions thereto in international monetary law, and in EU law.

Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten eines Life Cycle Managements, zur Umsetzung der Anforderungen einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung in Unternehmen, sind Inhalt des Buchs. Ökonomische und ökologische Anforderungen erfordern die lebensphasenübergreifende Betrachtung von Produkten und Prozessen als zentrale Aufgabe in Unternehmen. Der Autor stellt einen Bezugsrahmen bereit, der die vielfältigen Aspekte eines Life Cycle Managements zugänglich macht. Dabei unterscheidet er zwischen lebensphasenbezogenen Disziplinen (Produkt-, Produktions-, After-Sales und End-of-Life Management) und lebensphasenübergreifenden Disziplinen (ökologische, ökonomische und soziale Lebenswegsanalyse sowie Prozess- und Informations- und Wissensmanagement). Neben einer Darstellung der Grundlagen werden Anwendungsbeispiele aufgezeigt. Das Buch wendet sich an Manager und Mitarbeiter in produzierenden Unternehmen, die Konzepte des Life Cycle Managements einführen wollen. Leser in der Entwicklung, Forschung und Lehre sowie fortgeschrittene Studierende erhalten neben den Grundlagen Einblicke in Möglichkeiten und Zusammenhänge eines Life Cycle Managements.
