Henrich: Umweltschutz durch humanitäres Völkerrecht im nichtinternationalen bewaffneten Konflikt
Selbst während nichtinternationaler bewaffneter Konflikte stehen Individuen und Bevölkerungen unter dem Schutz des auf humanitären Grundentscheidungen basierenden Kriegsrechts. Inwieweit auch der Erhalt der natürlichen Umwelt durch geltendes humanitäres Völkerrecht gefördert wird, ist Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung, die sowohl an die derzeitige Debatte um die Hinlänglichkeit des durch Völkerrecht allgemein bewirkten Umweltschutzes als auch an Überlegungen zu denkbaren Fortentwicklungen des Rechts nichtinternationaler bewaffneter Konflikte unter Beteiligung nichtstaatlicher Akteure anknüpft. Ausgehend von dem Fehlen unmittelbar umweltschützender Vertragsnormen befasst sich die Untersuchung insbesondere mit den Möglichkeiten eines funktionsbasierten Umweltschutzes, mit der tatsächlichen Verankerung proklamierter Gewohnheitsrechtssätze im positiven Recht sowie der denkbaren Einflussnahme des Umweltvölkerrechts auf die Auslegung des humanitären Völkerrechts.

van Doorn: Legal Implications of the »Common Heritage« Principle for Atlantic Bluefin Tuna
Many fisheries management systems have individual rights at their basis but are not always successful. The question is what would have to change in fisheries law when community rights form the basis of management. Applying this idea globally, the principle of the common heritage of humankind could provide a future foundation. The principle incorporates intra- and intergenerational justice and has a clear biocentric component but is now only applicable to the ocean floor beyond national jurisdiction and to celestial bodies other than Earth. If this principle would also apply to highly migratory fish species like Atlantic bluefin tuna, not only an analysis of the applicable law but also of the principle´s roots in environmental ethics, the economic consequences of such application and a comparison with the idea of public trusteeship provide helpful insights. It appears that the common heritage of humankind can enable both utilisation and preservation of natural resources.

Kopar: Stability and Legitimate Expectations in International Energy Investments
AdvertisementThis book assesses stability guarantees through the lens of the legitimate expectations principle to offer a new perspective on the stability concept in international energy investments. The analysis of the interaction between the concepts of stability and legitimate expectations reveals that there are now more opportunities for energy investors to argue their cases before arbitral tribunals.
AdvertisementThe book offers detailed analyses of the latest energy investment arbitral awards from Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic, and reflects on the state of the art of the legitimate expectations debate and its relationship with the stability concept. The author argues that, in order to achieve stability, the legitimate expectations principle should be employed as the main investment protection tool when a dispute arises on account of unilateral host state alterations.

Alter: The Promise and Perils of Theorizing International Regime Complexity in an Evolving World
Karen J. Alter (Northwestern Univ. - Political Science) has posted The Promise and Perils of Theorizing International Regime Complexity in an Evolving World (Review of International Organizations, forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
As the world becomes more complicated, so too does global governance. The political consequences of the rising density of institutions, policies, rules and strategies to address global phenomena has been a central focus of the scholarship on international regime complexity. This conclusion to a special issue grapples with the promise and perils of theorizing about international regime complexity in a constantly evolving world. It discusses the special issue contributions while uniting the different conversations about the increasingly complex global governance space we refer to as international regime complexity. The goal is to bridge existing debates about global governance, to expand the scholarly conversation by drawing from and better connecting to IR debates, and to ensure that we can address practical and pressing global governance challenges.
