Download or read book The Law and Politics of WTO Waivers written by Isabel Feichtner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-24 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite being an important legal instrument in the law of the WTO, the waiver has hitherto been the subject of little scholarly analysis. Isabel Feichtner fills this gap by challenging the conventional view that the WTO's political bodies do not engage in significant law-making. She systemises the GATT and WTO waiver practice and suggests a typology of waivers as individual exception, general exception and rule-making instruments. She also presents the procedural and substantive legal requirements for the granting of waivers, deals with questions of judicial review and interpretation of waiver decisions, and clarifies the waiver's potential and limits for addressing the need for flexibility and adaptability in public international law and WTO law in particular. By connecting the analysis of waiver competence and waiver practice to the general stability/flexibility challenge in public international law, the book sheds new light on the WTO, international institutions and international law.

This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 714 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Arbeit untersucht die Interaktion zwischen den Streitbeilegungsmechanismen, die im Rahmen des SRÜ und des WTO-Abkommens eingerichtet wurden. Sie erforscht zugleich die Herausforderungen, die Streitigkeiten für internationale Gerichte mit begrenzter Zuständigkeit darstellen. Aus Sicht des WTO-Vertrages und des SRÜ gibt die Arbeit konkrete Antworten auf folgende Fragen: Inwieweit können die genannten Entscheidungsgremien angesichts ihrer begrenzten Zuständigkeit auf andere Regeln des Völkerrechts verweisen? Welche Auswirkungen haben die Äußerungen der Gerichte in Bezug auf den WTO-Vertrag und umgekehrt? Wie sollten Gerichte an Streitigkeiten herangehen, die sowohl WTO-Recht als auch Seerecht betreffen? Wie ist ihr Zusammenspiel geregelt? Die Arbeit bietet Lösungen für vielschichtige Streitigkeiten und trägt damit zur Diskussion über das internationale Verfahrensrecht und das Zusammenspiel von Verträgen und Streitbeilegungsmechanismen bei.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: This masters thesis discusses the recently concluded treaty between the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries on the one hand and the European Union (EU) on the other. This Agreement having signed in Cotonou, Benin, is known as the Cotonou Agreement. The Cotonou Agreement is the latest in a series of conventions between the two parties that have their genesis in the late 1950s. The primary goal of this work was to find out to what extent, if at all, the newly signed Agreement is likely to contribute to the economic renaissance of the ACP countries. In so doing it traces development of the ACP-EU conventions right from their very beginning. The performance of the relationship to date is examined with a view to determining whether the lessons learnt therefrom have been incorporated in the new Agreement. There is a detailed analysis of the trade and aid provisions of the Cotonou Agreement. Apart from the economic provisions, other major provisions and developments of the ACP-EU Conventions are discussed with a view to providing a wholesome picture.

Book excerpt: In Agriculture, Price Stabilisation and Trade Rules, Irene Musselli offers a comprehensive doctrinal and historical analysis of stabilisation tools and approaches in agriculture.

Download or read book Law in the Pursuit of Development written by Amanda Perry Kessaris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law in the Pursuit of Development critically explores the relationships between contemporary principles and practice in law and development. Including papers by internationally renowned, as well as emerging, scholars and practitioners, the book is organized around the three liberal principles which underlie current efforts to direct law towards the pursuit of development. First, that the private sector has an important role to play in promoting the public interest; second, that widespread participation and accountability are essential to any large scale enterprise; and third, that the rule of law is a fundamental building block of development. This insightful and provocative collection, in which contributors critique both the principles and efforts to implement them in practice, will be of considerable interest to students, academics and practitioners with an interest in the fields of law and development, international economic law, and law and globalization.

Download or read book Arbitration and Mediation in the ACP EU Relations written by Association for International Arbitration and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2008 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the product of a conference that provided an analysis of the initiatives seeking to integrate small and medium economies of the ACP (African, Caribbean, and Pacific group of nations) with the powerful forces of the greater markets, such as the European Union. Least developed nations tend to represent a vulnerable side in trade relations with greater economies, thus increasing a need to encourage the use of responsible trade practices and creating integration in a manner supporting the most vulnerable while guaranteeing the investments. Arbitration and mediation mechanisms play a decisive roll, providing an alternative to the imparity of justice administration in the different regions.
