The Netherlands Yearbook of International Law was first published
in 1970. It offers a forum for the publication of scholarly
articles of a more general nature in the area of public
international law including the law of the european Union. One of
the key functions or purposes of international law (and law in
general for that matter) is to provide long-term stability and
legal certainty. Yet, international legal rules may also function
as tools to deal with non-permanent or constantly changing issues
and rather than stable, international law may have to be flexible
or adaptive. Prima facie, one could think of two main types of
temporary aspects relevant from the perspective of international
law. First, the nature of the object addressed by international law
or the 'problem' that international law aims to address may be
inherently temporary (temporary objects). Second, a subject of
international law may be created for a specific period of time,
after the elapse of which this entity ceases to exist (temporary
subjects). These types of temporariness raise several questions
from the perspective of international law, which are hardly
addressed from a more conceptual perspective. This volume of the
Netherlands Yearbook of International Law aims to do exactly that
by asking the question of how international law reacts to various
types of temporary issues. Put differently, where does
international law stand on the continuum of predictability and
pragmatism when it comes to temporary issues or institutions?
This monograph explores the connections between the European Union
and international dispute settlement. It highlights the legal
challenges faced by the principal players in the field: namely the
EU as a political actor and the Court of Justice of the EU as an
international and domestic judiciary. In addition, it places the
subject in its broader context of international dispute settlement,
and the participation of the EU and its Member States in
international disputes. It focuses on horizontal and cross-cutting
themes, bringing together insights from the different sectors of
trade, investment and human rights, and offering a variety of
perspectives from academics, policymakers and practitioners.
This volume of the Netherlands Yearbook of International Law (NYIL)
is the fiftieth in the Series, which means that the NYIL has now
been with us for half a century. The editors decided not to let
this moment go by unnoticed, but to devote this year's edition to
an analysis of the phenomenon of yearbooks in international law.
Once the decision was made that this would be the subject of this
year's NYIL, the editors asked themselves a number of questions.
For instance: Not many academic disciplines have yearbooks, so what
is the reason we do? What is the added value of having a yearbook
alongside the abundance of international law journals, regular
monographs and edited volumes that are published on a yearly basis?
Does the existence of yearbooks tell us something about who we are,
or who we think we are, or what we have to contribute to the world?
These questions will be addressed both in a general and in a
specific sense, whereby a number of yearbooks published all over
the world will be looked at in further detail. The Netherlands
Yearbook of International Law was first published in 1970. It
offers a forum for the publication of scholarly articles in a
varying thematic area of public international law.
This book examines and investigates the legitimacy of the European
Union by acknowledging the importance of variation across actors,
institutions, audiences, and context. Case studies reveal how
different actors have contributed to the politics of
(re)legitimating the European Union in response to multiple recent
problems in European integration. The case studies look
specifically at stakeholder interests, social groups, officials,
judges, the media and other actors external to the Union. With
this, the book develops a better understanding of how the politics
of legitimating the Union are actor-dependent, context-dependent
and problem-dependent. This book will be of key interest to
scholars and students of European integration, as well as those
interested in legitimacy and democracy beyond the state from a
point of view of political science, political sociology and the
social sciences more broadly.
This handbook provides comprehensive and expert analysis of the
impact of the Brexit process and the withdrawal of the United
Kingdom from the European Union on existing and future EU-UK
relations within the context of both EU and international law.
Examining the wider international law implications, it additionally
assesses the complex legal consequences of Brexit for both the EU
and the UK in their dealings with third states and other
international organizations. With contributions from renowned
specialists in the field of EU external action, each chapter will
analyse specific policy areas to address key challenges arising
from the Brexit process for the EU and the UK and propose solutions
to overcome these problems. The handbook aims to fill a gap in
research by assessing the consequences of Brexit under EU external
relations law and international law. As such, it is hoped it will
set the research agenda for coming years on the international
dimension of Brexit. The Routledge Handbook on the International
Dimension of Brexit is an authoritative and essential reference
text for scholars and students of international and European/EU law
and policy, EU politics, and British Politics and Brexit, as well
as of key relevance to legal practitioners involved in Brexit,
governments, policy-makers, civil society organizations, think
tanks, practitioners, national parliaments and the Court of
Justice.
The European Union is traditionally seen as a new and partly
separate legal order within the global legal system. At the same
time, the EU is an important player in the global governance
network. The strong and explicit link between the EU and a large
number of other international organisations raises questions
concerning the impact of decisions taken by those organisations and
of international agreements concluded with those organisations
(either by the EU itself or by its Member States) on the autonomy
of the EU legal order. This book addresses the relationship between
the EU and other international organisations by looking at the
increasing influence of norms enacted by international
organisations on the shaping of EU law.

Voices of this land is a new and expanded edition of what has
become one of the standard collections of South African poetry
written in English. It includes poems ranging from the colonial
period right up to the present and encourages readers to revel in
the power, richness and diversity of South African poetry. Poetry
has to do something more than reproduce power struggles and their
justifications in arbitrarily shortened lines, using obscure
language, garnished with imagery. Rather, poetry should use
language to reproduce and deepen the senses and emotions as well as
the consciousness and ideas that are an inseparable part of
experience.
Marking the 50th anniversary of the influential ERTA doctrine, this
book analyses and contextualises the entire breadth of the
jurisprudence of EU external relations law through a systematic,
case-by-case account of the field. The entire framework of EU
external relations law has been built from the ground up by the
jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union. At the
beginning of the field's emergence, the legal questions to be
answered concerned the division of powers and competence between,
firstly, the Member States and that of the Union; and secondly, the
division of powers and competence between the different
institutions of the Union. Questions on such matters continue to be
asked, but more contemporarily, new legal questions have arisen
that have been in need of adjudication, including questions
concerning the autonomy of Union law; the relationship between the
Union and other international organisations; the relationship
between Union law and international law; the scope and breadth of
international agreements; amongst others. The book features
established academic scholars, judges, agents of institutions and
Member States, and legal practitioners in the field of EU external
relations law, analysing over 90 cases in which the Court has
legally shaped the theory and practice of the external dimension of
legal Europe.
'This innovative collection of essays offers a uniquely
comprehensive exploration of the way in which the EU engages with
other international organizations and bodies. While both EU law and
international law perspectives are examined, this book goes beyond
mere legal analysis to address political and practical issues the
EU encounters on the internal and the external fronts. It forms a
major contribution to the literature on the relationship between
the EU legal order and public international law and on the EU's
role in international relations more generally.' - Geert De Baere,
General Court of the EU and KU Leuven, Belgium 'As the European
Union assumes an ever more prominent role as a global actor, there
is a growing need to understand the ways and means of the EU's
engagement with other international institutions. This volume, with
contributions from renowned experts and scholars, is the first
comprehensive study to address the various relationships in that
category. It is the essential companion for practitioners and
scholars in the fields of European law and international
organization.' - Catherine Broelmann, University of Amsterdam, the
Netherlands 'This is a commendable and timely Research Handbook,
published in an era in which forces of nationalism and populism
question the benefits of globalization and existing mechanisms of
global governance. In this rich collection of studies, Wessel and
Odermatt bring together some 50 experts from academia and practice,
to analyze the multifarious interrelationships between the EU and
other international institutions (from the UN to the G20, from the
WTO to Regional Fisheries Management Organizations, from NATO to
the Council of Europe).' - Niels Blokker, Leiden University, the
Netherlands The European Union has established relationships with
other international organizations and institutions, mainly as a
result of its increasingly active role as a global actor and the
transfer of competences from the Member States to the EU.
Containing chapters by leading scholars, this Research Handbook
presents a comprehensive and critical assessment of these
relationships, examining both the EU's representation and
cooperation as well as the influence of these external bodies on
the development of EU law and policy. Insightful and analytical,
the Research Handbook explores the interaction of the EU with both
formal and informal international institutions as it seeks to
become more visible and active within these. The many challenges
associated with the limits set by the EU and by international law
and politics in relation to EU participation and the
'state-centred' international legal system are assessed. This
unique Research Handbook will be a key resource for scholars and
students of international and European law and political science,
providing a unique overview of the less well-known international
organizations in addition to the large institutions. The
examination of the development of law and policy will also be of
interest to the practitioners of these organizations and those at
national ministries. Contributors include: F. Amtenbrink, A.

This major new textbook for students in European law uses a text,
cases and materials approach to explore the law, politics, policy
and practice of EU external relations, and navigates the complex
questions at the interface of these areas. The subject is explored
by explaining major constitutional principles, and elaborating upon
them in policy-specific chapters ranging from common commercial
policy and development policy over CFSP/CSDP and AFSJ to energy and
enlargement policy. Specific attention is given to the relationship
between European integration, the role of law, and the EU as an
effective international actor. Designed for easy navigation,
chapters include key objectives, summaries and textboxes, which
frame key issues and guide the reader through the functioning of
legal principles. Students gain a detailed understanding of the
historical development, context and present functioning of EU
external relations law in a highly politicised European and
international environment.
EU law has developed a unique and complex system under which the
Union and its Member States can both act under international law,
separately, jointly or in parallel. International law was not set
up to deal with such complex and hybrid arrangements, which raise
questions under both international and EU law. This book assesses
how EU law has been adapted to cope with the constraints of
international law in situations in which the EU and its Member
States act jointly in relations with other States and international
organisations. In an innovative scholarly approach, reflecting this
duality, each chapter is jointly written by a team of two authors.
The various contributions offer new insights into the tension that
continues to exist between EU and international law obligations in
relation to the (joint) participation of the EU and its Member
States in international agreements.

With the rising relevance of international organizations in
international affairs, and the general turn to litigation to settle
disputes, international institutional law issues have increasingly
become the subject of litigation, before both international and
domestic courts. The judicial treatment of this field of
international law is addressed in Judicial Decisions on the Law of
International Organizations through commentary on excerpts of the
most prominent international and domestic judicial decisions that
are relevant to the law of international organizations, providing
in-depth analysis of judicial decisions. The commentaries written
and edited by leading experts in the field of international
institutional law, they are opinionated and critically engage with
the decision in question, with commentators' and stakeholders'
reactions thereto, and with later decisions, codifications, and
reports.

This study provides students, historians, and other academics and
scholars, as well as other researchers and anyone interested in the
history of the Anglo-Boer War, with as comprehensive a list as
possible of all postgraduate studies completed on any conceivable
aspect of the war, as well as any other postgraduate studies that
refer, to some extent, to the conflict.
The first edition of this seminal textbook made a significant
impact on the teaching of EU external relations law. This new
edition retains the hallmarks of that success, while providing a
fully revised and updated account of this burgeoning field. It
offers a dual perspective, looking at questions from both the EU
constitutional law perspective (the principles underpinning EU
external action, the EU's powers, and the role of the Court of
Justice of the EU); and the international law perspective (the
effect of international law in the EU legal order and the position
of the EU in international organisations such as the WTO). A number
of key substantive policy areas are explored, including trade,
security and defence, police and judicial cooperation, the
environment, human rights, and development cooperation. Taking a
'text, cases and materials' approach, it allows students to gain a
thorough understanding of milestones in the evolution of EU law in
this area, their judicial interpretation and scholarly appraisal.
Linking these pieces together through the authors' commentary and
analysis ensures that students are given the necessary guidance to
properly position and digest these materials. Lastly, each chapter
concludes with a section entitled 'The Big Picture of EU External
Relations Law', which weaves together the diverse and complex
materials into a coherent whole and stimulates critical discussion
of the topics covered.
Marking the 50th anniversary of the influential ERTA doctrine, this
book analyses and contextualises the entire breadth of the
