Download or read book Regionalism in a Changing World written by Lorenzo Fioramonti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-02 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regionalism has been a key feature of contemporary international relations. As the most successful case of regional integration, the European Union (EU) has been leading the international debate. Yet, in the past few years new regional practices have emerged in other continents, thus adding to the variety and scope of regionalization processes. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of regionalism in a global arena ever more dominated by emerging powers and shifting political/economic balances. Against the backdrop of the global economic crisis, which has invariably weakened Europe and its integration model, the book examines the pace of integration in Africa, Asia and South America, highlighting the opportunities and challenges that the new global order poses to contemporary regionalisms. Besides a number of empirical case studies focusing on the political, economic and legal aspects of regionalization, the book also discusses innovative theoretical approaches to the study of regionalism in a post-European context. This book was originally published as a special issue of The International Spectator.

Download or read book The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child written by Virginia Paola Lalli and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1989 International Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the 1990 African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) are two major international treaties protecting minors. Each treaty gives rise to new perspectives on children’s rights, and enshrine the principles of the best interests of the child and of children’s ownership of rights. The ACRWC incorporates the CRC’s rights while taking into consideration the specificity of the African context, striving to balance the rule of law with local customs. This book seeks to illustrate the rights and duties enshrined in the ACRWC, as well as the responsibilities established therein regarding the protection of minors. The role of the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACERWC) will also be examined, in particular its activity of monitoring the States Parties’ implementation of the ACRWC and its institutional powers in exercising its powers. Finally, the book will analyse the progress made by the States Parties to the treaties. The focus will be both on the formal aspect of harmonizing national legal systems and the international rights, and on the substantive “steps required” of States Parties to reach the “opinion of law or necessity” that the ACRWC’s provisions should be perceived, first and foremost, as necessary and socially useful, as well as legally binding.

Download or read book Intellectual Property Law in Africa written by Caroline B. Ncube and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the harmonisation of Intellectual Property policy, law and administration in Africa, this book evaluates the effectiveness of efforts to establish continental Intellectual Property institutions and frameworks. It also considers sub-regional initiatives led by the regional economic communities and the regional Intellectual Property organisations, focusing on relevant protocols and agreements that address Intellectual Property as well as the implementing institutions. The book assesses the progress of such initiatives with particular reference to the current socio-economic status of African states. It argues that that harmonisation initiatives need to be crafted in a way that is supportive of the developmental goals of African states and advocates for due consideration of individual states’ unique conditions and aspirations. This book will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in Intellectual Property law and its harmonisation in Africa.
Download or read book International Telecommunications Law and Policy written by Uchenna Jerome Orji and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the revolution in modern telecommunications that followed the invention of the telegraph, telecommunication networks have provided channels for the fast delivery of communications across national borders. This transnational nature of telecommunication networks have led to the establishment of international regulatory regimes on the subject. On the other hand, developing countries consider regional economic integration as a major strategy for promoting trade and development, telecommunications have been seen within this context as a strategic tool for facilitating regional economic integration. This has also led to the establishment of regional telecommunication regulatory regimes that aim to promote regional integration and regulatory harmonization. This book discusses telecommunication regimes established by international and regional organizations such as the United Nations, the International Telecommunication Union, the World Trade Organization, the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, and the Southern African Development Community, among a number of others. It will be relevant to policy makers, regulators, lawyers, law students, investors and telecommunication operators, as well as any person interested in international and African regional telecommunication regimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of the global financial crisis, there has been a worldwide search for alternative investment opportunities, away from advanced markets. The African continent is now one of the fastest-growing economic regions in the world and represents a viable destination for foreign direct and portfolio investment. This book, which is the first comprehensive analysis of financial integration and regulation in Africa, fills a huge gap in the literature on financial regulation and would constitute an invaluable source of information to policy makers, investors, researchers and students of financial regulation from an emerging and frontier markets perspective. It considers how financial integration can facilitate African financial markets to achieve their full potential and provides a comparative study with the EU framework for financial integration and regulation. It assesses the implementation of effective and regional domestic infrastructures and how these can be adapted to suit the African context. The book also provides an assessment of government policies towards the integration of financial regulation in keeping with the regional agenda of the African Union (AU) and the African Economic Community (AEC).
