English | 2019 | ISBN: 0367235633, 0367730529 | EPUB | pages: 178 | 0.7 mb
Powers to outlaw or proscribe terrorist organisations have become cornerstones of global counter-terrorism regimes. In this comprehensive volume, an international group of leading scholars reflect on the array of proscription regimes found around the world, using a range of methodological, theoretical and disciplinary perspectives from Political Science, International Relations, Law, Sociology and Criminology. These perspectives consider how domestic political and legal institutions intersect with and transform the use of proscription in countering terrorism and beyond. The chapters advance a range of critical perspectives on proscription laws, processes and outcomes, drawing from a global range of cases including Australia, Canada, the EU, Spain, Sri Lanka, Turkey, the UK and the USA.

Standard-Setting Organisations’ IPR Policies Intellectual Property and Competition Issues


Free Download Manveen Singh, "Standard-Setting Organisations’ IPR Policies: Intellectual Property and Competition Issues"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811926220, 9811926255 | PDF | pages: 227 | 5.1 mb
This book offers a unique insight into the world of standard-setting organizations (SSOs)’ IPR policies and the role they play in balancing the interests of innovators and implementers, vis-à-vis the development of standards. Since the beginning of the 21st century, there have been quite a few questions asked of the SSOs as to the legality of their IPR policies and the enforceability of disclosure and licensing obligations enshrined therein. That, coupled with disagreements over the appropriate royalty rate and royalty base, has resulted in extensive litigation between innovators and implementers, especially across the Atlantic. The Book, in keeping the USA and EU as the two primary jurisdictions, offers a comprehensive analysis of the disclosure and licensing obligations under SSO IPR policies, with strong theoretical foundations justifying their imposition. More specifically, it offers a bird’s eye view of the various facets of disclosure and licensing, ranging from non-disclosure and transparency on one hand, to the determination of FRAND on the other.

Verrechnungspreise aus organisations- und agencytheoretischer Sicht


Free Download Verrechnungspreise aus organisations- und agencytheoretischer Sicht By Udo Buscher (auth.)
1997 | 255 Pages | ISBN: 3824403676 | PDF | 6 MB
Die Bestimmung von Verrechnungspreisen stellt in dezentralen Unternehmen häufig ein Problem dar. Aus organisationstheoretischer Sicht spielen hierbei insbesondere Koordinations- und Motivationsaspekte eine entscheidende Rolle. Udo Buscher berücksichtigt insbesondere organisationsbedingte Konflikte, auf die in der Literatur zur Verrechnungspreisbildung selten angemessen eingegangen wird. Ursache dieser Konflikte ist häufig das gleichzeitige Bestehen von asymmetrischen Informationsständen und Interessendivergenzen zwischen Organisationsmitgliedern. Mit Hilfe von agencytheoretischen Überlegungen werden Verrechnungspreismodelle um verhaltensbezogene Aspekte erweitert. Für ausgewählte Modellformulierungen zeigt der Autor, daß – entgegen den Ergebnissen traditioneller Modellformulierungen – ein Bedarf an Verrechnungspreisen zur Entscheidungskoordination besteht.

2008 | 393 Pages | ISBN: 3835070274 | PDF | 3 MB
Intensifying worldwide environmental changes as well as political, cultural, religious, and economic crises have made intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) important instruments in international and global cooperation. In order to cope with their diverse stakeholders, it is more imperative than ever for intergovernmental organisations to engage in personnel policy on an international scale. Successful diversity management is an essential prerequisite for organisational performance, conflict management, and dynamics of IGOs. Björn A. Peters examines the challenges of diversity and managing diversity in IGOs on the basis of the Mekong River Commission case study.

The European Union With(in) International Organisations Commitment, Consistency and Effects Across Time


Free Download The European Union With(in) International Organisations: Commitment, Consistency and Effects Across Time By Amandine Orsini
2014 | 191 Pages | ISBN: 147242414X | PDF | 2 MB
Since its creation, the European Union (EU) has been a participant in the activities of other International Organisations (IOs) or has been working together with them. Still, little information is available on what this long-term involvement with(in) IOs means for International Relations and European Studies. Why has the EU been involved with(in) IOs on such a long-term basis? How? With what impact? These three key research questions are addressed in this innovative volume, in a bid to explore the continuity of EU action with(in) IOs. While written by a diversity of authors (from European Studies or from International Relations, Europeans or non-Europeans) and from a diversity of disciplines (in particular Law and Political Science), each chapter of the volume elaborates on three common political concepts derived from three-fold questioning: commitment (for the why question), consistency (for the how question), and effects (for the question of impact). Consisting of a two part structure, the book is focussed in Part I on more general trends of the EU’s long-term participation with(in) IOs – with contributions by A.Wetzel, P.Debaere, F.De Ville, J.Orbie, B.Saenen and J.Verschaeve, and P. Nedergaard and M.D.Jensen – and in Part II on more precise case studies on labour standards, public services, flexicurity, human trafficking and security – with contributions by R.Kissack, A.Crespy, E.Xiarchogiannopoulou and D.Tsarouhas, B.Simmons and A.DiSilvestro, and N. Graeger. Highly useful for students, academics and experts, this volume combines a clear and easy-to-use framework with new empirical data.
