Zum WerkDer 2013 beschlossene Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) ist eines von sehr wenigen erfolgreich zu Ende geführten Regulierungsvorhaben im Bereich der internationalen Friedenssicherung und zugleich ein kontrovers aufgenommenes Abkommen. Als erster globaler rechtsverbindlicher Vertrag zur Kontrolle des internationalen Handels mit konventionellen Waffen vereint der ATT traditionelle Elemente mit moderneren Errungenschaften des Völkerrechts und bildet dadurch eine Projektionsfläche für verschiedenste, auch rechtstheoretische, Interpretationsansätze.Die vorliegende, auf Englisch verfasste Arbeit geht über Vertragsauslegung oder Inhaltskritik hinaus. Die Autorin entwickelt ein völkerrechtstheoretisches Analyseschema, das eine tiefgehende Bedeutungsanalyse des ATT sowie seine Einordnung in die Evolution des internationalen Waffenhandelskontrollrechts und allgemeine Entwicklungen im Völkerrecht ermöglicht. Es entsteht ein vielschichtiges Bild über Möglichkeiten und Grenzen rechtlicher Steuerungsansätze im modernen Völkerrecht, das auch auf andere völkerrechtliche Abkommen anwendbar ist. Mit der Verknüpfung von Völkerrechtstheorie und Vertragsanalyse zeigt die Arbeit so einen neuen Weg, theoretische Erklärungsansätze für die Völkerrechtspraxis nutzbar zu machen."Hier hat man regelrecht Spaß an jeder Seite und freut sich auf die nächste." (aus dem Zweitgutachten)ZielgruppeFür Rechtswissenschaftlerinnen und Rechtswissenschaftler sowie Praktikerinnen und Praktiker im Bereich Völkerrecht, internationale Beziehungen und Rüstungskontrolle.

Beck internationalKübek/Tams/TerhechteEU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement*A HandbookBy Gesa Kübek, Prof. Dr. Christian J. Tams and Prof. Dr. Jörg Philipp Terchechte2024 Approx 550 pages. Hardcover approx. Euro 220,-ISBN 9783406819223A co-publication of C.H.BECK, Munich, Hart Publishing, Oxford, and Nomos, Baden-Baden.The BookIn force since 1 May 2021, the Trade and Cooperation Agreement is the central legal text governing post-Brexit relations between the UK and the EU. In essence, it is an ambitious "free trade plus" agreement that regulates economic issues, but also addresses a wealth of non-trade aspects. A thorough examination of the regulatory structures, content and contentious issues of the TCA is of major conceptual and practical importance.The present Handbook provides such a thorough examination and serves as a guide to the often complex provisions of the agreement and as a roadmap to an unwieldy agreement. To meet those aims, it offers an analysis of the TCA's individual chapters, matching the agreement's broad scope, from trade to data protection (and covering much in between). In addition to analysing the agreement's individual chapters, this TCA Handbook situates the new legal framework of UK-EU relations from the perspective of international law, European Union law and UK law.The Advantages at a GlanceHigh practical relevanceCovers a broad range of core trade and non-trade issuesClear analysisThe Target GroupFor legal practitioners and scholars active in the field of EU and international law.

Zum WerkThe first Civil Code of the PRC (CCC), adopted by the Chinese national law makers in May 2020, came into force on January 1st, 2021. The Code has 1260 articles and consists of a General Part and six books on property, contracts, personality rights, marriage and family, succession and torts. As China does not have a separate Commercial Code, the CCC is equally applicable to commercial transactions. In this sense, the Code is not only of interest for comparative law scholars, but also of great importance for business operation in the country.This book strives to provide foreign readers with a systematic and indepth analysis of the Code.The ?Chinese Civil Code - The Specific Parts" is intended as a volume to follow the "Chinese Civil Code - The General Part" and covers the six specific books of the Code. In principle, this book is organized in line with the structure of the Code itself. In the CCC, real security and personal security are addressed separately, even though some of the issues are the same. This book consequently designates a separate part for the security law to avoid redundancy and to highlight the significant amendments brought about by the Code and its subsequent judicial interpretation. As contract law makes up nearly a half of the entire Civil Code, this book also puts an emphasis on this area and address six major contract types in detail: the sales contract, lease contract, guaranty contract, mandate contract, factoring contract and technology contract.Vorteilesystematic and indepth analysis of the Civil Code of the PRC (CCC)ZielgruppeThe book is written for lawyers, law firms, legal departments, companies and publishers.

"It could have turned out differently" - from this perspective, the volume looks at fourteen caesuras in German history between 1848 and 1989. Here the real and crucial historical events are considered against the backdrop of other historical developments that were always possible - developments inherently present in decisive, often dramatic turning points. In this way new light is shed on what is already known, the essential openness of history made evident.What would have happened if the East German security services had violently turned on the demonstrators in 1989? If the USA had dropped atomic bombs on Germany in 1945? How would Germany have turned out if the effort to establish a constitutional monarchy had succeeded in 1848? This book accompanies the exhibition "Roads not Taken" in the Deutsches Historisches Museum, whose titel has a programmatic dimension: following a concept of the historian Dan Diner, he and the other authors focus on possible historical alternatives. What unexpected coincidences might have altered the real historical events? What role did the personalities involved play in their unfolding? Themes such as Germany's Ostpolitik, the Berlin Wall, the Cold War, the Nazi rise to power, revolution and democratization in Germany are newly evaluated in this way.

The bookThe Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch in the version as from 2 January 2002 is the very backbone of German civil law. Its institutions and principles are essential for the understanding of the law of Europe's major legal systems.The two volumes, comprising over 3500 pages, constitute a full and comprehensive English language commentary of all five books of the BGB: General Part of the BGB, the Law of Obligations, and the Law of Property (Volume I), Family Law and the Law of Succession (Volume II).The commentary of each article is headed by the version of the article at the time of publication (Volume 1: 2018; Volume 2: 2022) both in the German original and an English translation followed by a clearly and uniformly structured analysis of the provision. Focus is laid on the understanding of the purpose and meaning of the provision in the context of the code and the correct use of the terminology both in German and English. As the meaning of the BGB does not always follow from the wording of its provisions, especially if translated into another language, further explanation is absolutely essential.Facing this challenge, the commentary meets the expectations both of German and foreign lawyers by providing the correct terminology and explanation in English to lawyers and translators and by offering a systematic overview on the BGB to lawyers who are not very familiar with German civil law.The advantages at a glanceArticle-by-Article Commentaryin English languageclearly and uniformly structured analysis of each provisionThe target groupFor German and foreign lawyers, scholars and legal translators. ?

The bookThe 2022 ICSID Rules and Regulations amendments mark the fourth amendment of these Rules and Regulations since 1968 and may be seen as the most extensive revision of them to date, especially since the significance of ICSID arbitration has been growing, as evidenced by the continuously increasing number of ICSID cases registered over the years. The main objectives of the revision was to modernise, simplify and streamline the legal framework of ICSID proceedings. ICSID and its Member States achieved this by filling existing gaps, codifying international standards and practices, and by addressing specific ISDS concerns. A team of renowned practitioners and rising stars in the field of International Arbitration have analysed these updated frameworks - i.e., the ICSID Arbitration Rules, the Conciliation Rules, the Institution Rules as well as the Administrative and Financial Regulations - provision by provision to offer practical and theoretical guidance for experienced lawyers, as well as beginners in the field alike. The Commentary also provides detailed background information on the amendment procedure of each provision and gives insight into whether, and if yes, which, existing case law remains relevant to the application of the new Rules and Regulations. The Commentary is rounded off with reflections on various perspectives of ICSID arbitration.The Advantages At A Glanceup-to-datecomprehensiblewith a practical focusThe Target GroupFor counsel, arbitrators and academics involved in international investment arbitration.
