Where does a 3D printed good come from? This book examines preferential rules of origin within the context of advanced manufacturing, focusing on 3D printing. From a foundation in the legal and technical aspects of rules of origin, it explores why 3D printing implies reconsidering how materials, labour, and technology factor into the determination of the origin of a good and the risks and opportunities this brings to producers and traders. The book suggests revisiting rules of origin in PTAs and encourages the WTO to promote incorporating rules or origin and new production methods into a balanced trade framework that supports producers, traders, and consumers globally.

     

Populist leaders around the world increasingly reject international organizations, decrying them as constraints on state power and rallying followers against the “global elite” who run them. These institutions—painstakingly built through decades of negotiation and multilateral cooperation—are often seen as passive bystanders, unable or unwilling to push back. In Global Governance Under Fire, Allison Carnegie and Richard Clark challenge this view, arguing that international organizations are, in fact, strategic agents with the tools to resist populist pressures. Offering fresh theoretical insights and original empirical analysis, they investigate how these institutions fight back and how their defensive strategies are reshaping global governance.

Using a multimethod approach that draws on novel data and qualitative evidence, Carnegie and Clark identify four key strategies that international organizations employ both to appease and to sideline populists and their constituents. They find that while these strategies help fortify global governance against populist opposition, they may also produce unintended consequences, potentially eroding institutional legitimacy and fueling further resistance. A timely and compelling account, the book provides a crucial roadmap for understanding—and safeguarding—the global order.

Der Ukraine-Konflikt hat viele Elemente des modernen Völkerrechts auf den Prüfstein gestellt. In diesem Zusammenhang ist auch die Frage wieder aktuell geworden, ob das völkerrechtliche Neutralitätsrecht noch mit dem modernen Völkerrecht in Einklang zu bringen ist.

In diesem Band beleuchten Experten und Expertinnen aus Österreich, der Schweiz, Deutschland und Italien diese Frage aus völkerrechtlicher, öffentlichrechtlicher, europarechtlicher und historischer Sicht. Sie kommen zu dem Ergebnis, dass im Friedensrecht der Vereinten Nationen eine Verpflichtung zur solidarischen Parteinahme zugunsten des Opfers einer Aggression besteht. Neutralität kann letztlich auch die Sicherheit der Neutralen gefährden.

Depuis près d’une trentaine d’années, l’état de droit occupe une place centrale dans le discours international et s’est progressivement imposé comme un modèle de référence, un point de ralliement. Mais que signifie exactement ce concept ? S’agit-il d’une obligation juridique internationale, d’un principe général du droit, ou d’un simple idéal politique ? Quel est son statut et est-il compatible avec les structures actuelles de la société internationale ?

Cet ouvrage met en évidence le décalage profond entre les proclamations solennelles entourant l’état de droit et sa réalité juridique concrète. Il montre que cette notion est encore dépourvue de définition autonome, précise et partagée, se situant aujourd’hui à mi-chemin entre projet politique et concrétisation juridique.

Dans ces conditions, parler de « respect » ou de « violation » de l’état de droit en droit international apparaît largement inapproprié. Faute de contenu normatif stabilisé, la notion tend en pratique à se confondre avec l’exigence générale de respect du droit international existant. Tout en étant encore un projet inachevé, l’état de droit est néanmoins une idée-force mobilisatrice.

L’ouvrage souligne également la tension persistante entre les exigences qu’impliquerait l’avènement d’un véritable état de droit international et la structure actuelle de la société internationale. À défaut d’une refonte profonde de l’architecture du droit international, l’état de droit demeure un horizon normatif, encore largement utopique à l’échelle universelle.
