In recent years, the international engagement of the EU's
decentralized agencies has continued to increase in the absence of
a clear political and legal framework for their activities. This
timely book addresses urgent questions about these agencies'
external actions and their effects, how these should be
conceptualized and assessed, and how they can and should be
governed in the future. Bringing together pioneering
interdisciplinary work from European legal and political scholars,
this book combines theory with empirical case studies to explore an
underdeveloped field and identify a future research agenda.
Chapters first comprehensively examine the relevant legal
frameworks and the political aspects of these decentralized
agencies' external activities, before exploring the questions this
raises around their own and the EU's legitimacy and accountability,
and the impact of agencies on countries outside the EU who have
dealings with them. Scholars in law, political science, economics
and public administration will find this book invaluable,
particularly those working on external relations, agencification or
institutional innovation. It will also prove useful to policymakers
at EU and national level, as well as other stakeholders such as
non-EU countries and international organizations.
This book questions whether investment law influences the wider
field of general international law, and more specifically, whether
approaches adopted by tribunals in investment arbitrations have
radiated, or should radiate, into other fields of international
law. To answer this question, the book engages in a detailed
analysis of pronouncements by investment tribunals on state
responsibility, the law of treaties, and general principles of
dispute resolution, and evaluates their impact beyond the narrow
field of investment law. The perspectives provided in the book
highlight how rules of general international law are concretised,
specified, and at times moulded in investment arbitration practice.
By doing so, the book enhances our understanding of the
relationship between general international law and one its most
dynamic sub-disciplines. Combining conceptual and practical
perspectives, and offering a detailed analysis of the pertinent
case law, the book is a plea for a fuller engagement directed at
both general international lawyers and international investment
lawyers. It will help investment lawyers better understand the role
of general international law in their field of practice. General
international lawyers will benefit from paying close attention to
how investment lawyers apply and interpret rules of general
international law.
In 1920, Joseph Roth, the most renowned German correspondent of his
age, arrived in Berlin, the capital of the Weimar Republic. He
produced a series of impressionistic and political writings that
influenced an entire generation of writers, including Thomas Mann
and the young Christopher Isherwood. Roth, like no other German
writer of his time, ventured beyond Berlin's official veneer to the
heart of the city, chronicling the lives of its forgotten
inhabitants - the Jewish immigrants, the criminals, the bathhouse
denizens, and the nameless dead who filled the morgues. Warning
early on of the threat posed by the Nazis, Roth evoked a landscape
of moral bankruptcy and debauched beauty, creating in the process
an unforgettable portrait of a city.
'One of the greatest novels ever written' Philippe Sands Set
against the doomed splendour of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, The
Radetzky March tells the story of the celebrated Trotta family,
tracing their rise and fall over three generations. Theirs is a
sweeping history of heroism and duty, desire and compromise,
tragedy and heartbreak, a story that lasts until the darkening eve
of World War One, when all is set to fall apart. Rich, epic and
profoundly moving, The Radetzky March is Joseph Roth's timeless
masterpiece.
This book is a unique contribution to the understanding of the
reality of government and governance in the European Union (EU). It
illustrates the EU's multi-level system and within it the
activities of agenda setting, policy formulation and implementation
which all involve co-operation between public administrations from
the sub-national, national, supranational and international levels.
The book portrays how co-operation amongst administrations in
Europe has become the backbone of the EU's unique system of
government and governance. Many forms of co-operation have led to a
truly integrated administration, which has developed in an
evolutionary fashion and operates in large parts beyond the
formally constituted rules of the treaties. EU Administrative
Governance unites studies analysing policy phases and the most
important policy areas from all three pillars of the EU. It
outlines some of the main challenges which arise from the close
integration of national and European administrations and explores
implications for accountability and legitimacy of Europe's
increasingly integrated administration. This unique contribution to
the contemporary understanding of structures underlying European
government and the exercise of governance will be of great interest
to scholars in the fields of administrative law, EU law and
administrative sciences.
In the first interdisciplinary work focused on the European
Ombudsman, expert observers of EU institutional affairs provide a
thorough evaluation of the Ombudsman and its constitutional role,
powers, activities and future potential. The book addresses the
Ombudsman's impact on accountability in the EU's executive branch
and offers new suggestions for the further development of the
practice of 'ombuds review'. The contributions to the discussion
within this book come from law, political science, administrative
science and economics. Looking at comparative developments in EU
law and policy they critically review, from a variety of
perspectives and methodologies, the Ombudsman's role in the review
of activity of EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies. They
then evaluate this role, and its achievements, against the original
objectives for creating an Ombudsman some 20 years ago. This timely
book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of the EU
political and legal system. It is a also must-read for policy
advisors and practitioners looking to enhance their understanding
of alternative modes of dispute settlement and anyone interested in
the future of administration in the EU. Contributors include: P.N.

'One of the greatest European novelists of the century' Sunday
Times Andreas is an alcoholic and a vagrant who lives under a
bridge. Downtrodden, submerged at the bottom of society, he lives a
fortuitous life - dictated by happenstance and the whims of others
- until a run of exceptionally good luck lifts him, briefly, onto a
different plane of existence. First published after Roth's death in
1939, The Legend of the Holy Drinker is haunting and melancholic,
yet filled with empathy. A secular miracle-tale, it is an
unforgettable testament to Roth's lucidity and compassion.

Historiographical approaches to international investment law
scholarship are becoming ever more important. This insightful book
combines perspectives from a range of expert international law
scholars who explore ways in which using a broad variety of
historical methods and historical research can lead to a better
understanding of international investment law. International
Investment Law and History critically analyses the use of
historical argument in international investment law. It examines
the vital roles that historical arguments play in interpreting
investment treaties, resolving investor-state disputes, and
justifying or criticising the current system of investment
protection. This book is the first in-depth study on the
methodological challenges and benefits of historical analysis in
international investment law. As such, it is a vital tool for
scholars and practitioners in the field who wish to understand ways
in which to use historical research and analysis to improve and
redefine international investment law. Contributors include: M.
Boase, H. Bray, Y. Chernykh, J. Ho, R. Hofmann, J. Kammerhofer, A.
Kulick, K. Miles, M. Pinchis-Paulsen, S.W. Schill, T. St. John,

The global crises of the early 21st century have tested the
international financial architecture. In seeking to ensure
stability, governments have regulated financial and capital
markets. This in turn has implicated international investment law,
which investors have invoked as a shield against debt
restructuring, bail-ins or bail-outs. This book explores whether
investment law should protect against such regulatory measures,
including where these have the support of multilateral
institutions. It considers where the line should be drawn between
legitimate regulation and undue interference with investor rights
and, equally importantly, who draws it. Across the diverse chapters
herein, expert international scholars assess the key challenges
facing decision makers, analyze arbitral and treaty practice and
evaluate ways towards a balanced system of investment protection in
the financial sector. In doing so, they offer a detailed analysis
of the interaction between investment protection and financial
regulation in fields such as sovereign debt restructuring and bank
rescue measures. Combining high-level analysis with a detailed
assessment of controversial legal issues, this book will provide
guidance for both academics and legal practitioners working in
international economic law, international arbitration, investment
law, international banking and financial law. Contributors include:
A. Asteriti, P. Athanassiou, C.N. Brower, A. De Luca, A.
Goetz-Charlier, A. Gourgourinis, R. Hofmann, H. Kupelyants, Y. Li,

This book aims to provide advanced students and researchers with
the text on a nonperturbative, thermodynamically grounded, and
largely analytical approach to four-dimensional Quantum Gauge
Theory. The terrestrial, astrophysical, and cosmological
applications, mostly within the realm of low-temperature photon
physics, are treated.
The Emperor's Tomb is a magically evocative, haunting elegy to the
vanished world of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and to the passing
of time and the loss of youth and friends. Prophetic and regretful,
intuitive and exact, Roth's acclaimed novel is the tale of one
man's struggle to come to terms with the uncongenial society of
post-First World War Vienna and the first intimations of Nazi
barbarities.
The first poem in Gottfried Benn's first book, Morgue (1912) -
written in an hour, published in a week, and notorious ever after,
or so the poet claimed - with its scandalous closing image of an
aster sewn into a corpse by a playful medical student, set him on
his celebrated path. And indeed, mortality, flowers, and powerful
aesthetic collisions typify much of Benn's subsequent work. Over
decades, as he suffered the vicissitudes of an often hostile fate -
the death of his mother from untreated cancer; the death of his
first wife Edith in 1922; his brief but disastrous attempt to
ingratiate himself with the Nazis in 1933, followed by their
persecution of him; the suicide of his second wife Herta in 1945,
afraid she would fall into the hands of the Russians - the harsh,
sometimes callous voice of the poems relented, softened, and
mellowed. The later Benn - from which Impromptus is chiefly drawn,
many of the poems translated into English for the first time - is
deeply affecting: the routines and sorrows and meditations of an
intelligent, pessimistic, and experienced man. Written in what T.
S. Eliot called the 'third voice' of poetry, the low un-upholstered
monologue of the poet talking to himself, these poems are slender
ribbons of speech on the naked edge of song and silence. With this
new collection of poems selected and translated by Michael Hofmann,
Gottfired Benn, at long last, promises to attain in English the
presence and importance that he so richly deserves.

Through Durand, Barlow, and Hofmann's Essentials of Abnormal
Psychology, you'll learn that psychological disorders are rarely
caused by a single influence, but rooted in the interaction among
multiple factors: biological, psychological, cultural, social,
familial, and even political. A conversational writing style,
consistent pedagogy, and real case profiles provide a realistic
context for the scientific findings. These features show you the
real people behind the DSM-5 criteria, the theories, and the
research.
