Product Description
Full Title: International Arbitration in Switzerland
An Introduction and Commentary on Articles 176-194 of the Swiss Private International Law Statute

Since 1st January 1989 Switzerland has a new International Arbitration Act, in the form of Chapter Twelve of the Federal Statute on Private International Law (PILS). In the German version of the `Basler Kommentar’ on the PILS published in 1996, experienced Swiss arbitration practitioners gave a detailed commentary of the provisions on international arbitration.

This commentary is now available in an English translation based on drafts by Stephen V. Berti. The book contains a comprehensive, updated introduction to international arbitration by Marc Blessing, followed by the commentary of articles.

The work provides an in-depth analysis of the provisions of the Swiss International Arbitration Act, and explains how they became law and how they have been interpreted in practice during the first few years since they came into force. The book will be indispensable for all practitioners and academics interested in arbitration.

Link of Jurisdiction in Article 62 Proceedings before the ICJ: Development of the Requirement for Link of Jurisdiction in Article 62 Intervention Proceedings before the International Court of Justice

August 31, 2011

Product Description
The traditional consensuality principle in international law means that an international tribunal has jurisdiction only if the subjects of international law agree upon that. Such understanding of international law has by today changed, one relevant example is the gradual abandonment by the ICJ of the requirement for link of jurisdiction as a pre-condition for intervention under Article 62 of the Statute of the ICJ. Considering the development of traditional international law towards the United Nations model, the aim of this research is to study, whether the requirement for jurisdictional link from an intervening state in Article 62 proceedings with one or both parties to the case is reasonable in the context of growing interdependence between states, where the acts of any two states may influence the interests of third actors. The abandonment of the requirement for jurisdictional link in the proceedings under Article 62 seems to reveal the modern developments in international law, giving rise to considerations, whether the ICJ could more frequently use the possibility to consider wider interest in its proceedings.

Beyond Cantua Creek: A Fascinating Series of Articles That Include National and International Events That Escaped Media Attention

November 14, 2010

Product Description
In Beyond Cantua Creek, a seasoned political insider with White House experience, shares some fascinating experiences during the Nixon Administration, including the Nixon-Brezhnev White House Summit Conference.

During the Iron Curtain era, Elvin Bell led several intelligence missions into Russia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia, in addition to later serving two special assignments in the White House and completing a tour in the Pentagon during the Ronald Reagan administration. He utilizes his political experience to provide a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the power structure that existed during the Nixon administration-a foundation that allowed a secretary to appoint her own boyfriend to be secretary of the interior. As he shares the contents of startling conversations and meetings with Soviet President Leonid Ilych Brezhnev, Nixon’s secretary Rosemary Woods, Hollywood producer Sam Peckinpah, and scores of other notables, Bell captures the drama that escaped media attention and instead thrived behind the walls of the White House and elsewhere.

Beyond Cantua Creek is a compelling compilation that will encourage lively discussions about politics, a presidential administration that will never be forgotten, and the eccentricities of those who once ruled Hollywood.

Comparative Education: Exploring Issues in International Context

October 29, 2010

Product Description

Comparative Education invites readers to consider theory in comparative education, purposes of schooling, educational access and opportunity, education accountability and authority, teacher professionalism, and how globalization is impacting education. Taking an issues-based approach, it addresses current educational concerns both at home and abroad, and includes analytic frameworks that foster critical thinking and reinforce a systematic method for examination. Biographical sketches add human interest and side-by-side comparisons explore various countries’ demographic attributes, geophysical and economic realities, and socio political factors. Because the book focuses on issues instead of countries, it reinforces how and why comparative education is relevant for educators in today’s global society.
