Business, Economics & LawJanuary 2026International organisations, non-State actors, and the formation of customary international law
by Sufyan Droubi, Jean d'Aspremont
This volume offers new practical and theoretical perspectives on one of the most complex questions regarding the formation of international law, namely that actors other than states contribute to the making of customary international law. Notwithstanding the International Law Commission's valuable contribution, the making of customary international law remains riddled with acute practical and theoretical controversies that continue to be intensively debated. Making extensive reference to the case-law of international law courts and tribunals, as well as the most recent scholarly work on customary international law, this volume provides a comprehensive study of the contribution of international organisations and non-state actors to the formation of customary international law. With innovative tools and guidance for law students, legal scholars, and researchers in law, as well as legal practitioners, advisers, judges, arbitrators, and counsels, this collection is essential reading for those wishing to understand and address contemporary questions of international law-making.

Actiongeladene Mysteryserie ab 12 Jahren

Sie sind nur noch zu dritt und sie sind geschwächt. Aber sie wollen überleben – um jeden Preis. Zweifel überschatten den Kampf gegen das Labyrinth, das mit immer neuen Mysterien für die Jugendlichen aufwartet. Ihr mühsam erworbener Teamgeist scheint nicht zu brechen, doch lohnt sich für Jeb, Jenna und Mary der gemeinsame Kampf, wenn nur einer von ihnen überleben kann? Die entscheidende Frage aber wagt niemand zu stellen: Was erwartet den letzten Überlebenden hinter dem sechsten Tor? „Aus dem Labyrinth gibt es kein Entkommen, es hat mir den Schlaf geraubt. Spannender geht’s nicht.“ Ursula Poznanski „Das Labyrinth erwacht“ (Band 1 der Trilogie) wurde ausgezeichnet mit den Leserpreisen „Segeberger Feder“ und „Ulmer Unke“.

Cinematic perspectives on international law
by Olivier Corten, Francois Dubuisson, Martyna Falkowska-Clarys
Why are constitutionalist ideals so prominent in science fiction? Does Independence Day depict self-defence as a legal concept with absolute limits? Is international law lost in space? This innovative interdisciplinary volume represents the first exploration of the relationship between international law and cinema. From Star Wars to Werner Herzog, The Godfather to The West Wing, this book uncovers a diverse range of representations of international law and its norms in film and television. Examining the wider links between international law, cinema, and ideology, the contributions not only examine visual representations of international law, but they offer an essential insight into the functions fulfilled by these cinematic representations. Providing an extraordinary introduction to a variety of perspectives on core international legal questions, Cinematic perspectives on international law extends a valuable methodology by which international lawyers can critique the depiction of international law in film.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2025Britain’s 'Mr X’
Sir Frank Roberts and the making of British foreign policy, 1930-68
by Jonathan Colman
Over four decades as a diplomat, Sir Frank Roberts dealt with headline issues, including policy towards Germany during the years of appeasement, the Second World War alliance with the Soviet Union, the origins of the Cold War, NATO affairs, the Berlin and Cuban Missile Crises, European integration, and relations with the Federal Republic of Germany. Collaborating with the renowned American diplomat, George F. Kennan (the cryptonymous author 'X' of an influential 1947 article), his despatches from Moscow in 1946 shaped Britain's Cold War strategy. In 1954 he played an integral part in the diplomacy behind the rearmament of the Federal Republic and her incorporation into NATO, helping to build an enduring structure of transatlantic security. Roberts' career sheds new light on British foreign policy across an era in which Britain slipped from global pre-eminence to regional power status.
