This book seeks to understand the obligation of the international
community to implement the principles of the Responsibility to
Protect (R2P). With a focus on the humanitarian crisis in Syria,
the volume examines what formal responsibility and actual
capability international institutions have to protect and prevent
civilians from systematic mass atrocities and presents an analysis
of several prominent international organizations (IOs). Each
chapter focuses on a specific organization and explores their
formal responsibilities and how these pertain to the obligations of
the R2P. Existing capabilities and actual abilities to address the
challenges of R2P are analysed by looking at these issues before,
during, and after the occurrence of the humanitarian crisis in
Syria. With the UN not fully engaged in the Syrian conflict, the
systematic human rights abuses have engendered greater attention on
other organizations. This volume argues that if the UN Security
Council's inactions result in an abdication of responsibilities
under the UN Charter, there should not only be a discussion of how
the UN must alter its approach, but also an examination of whether
there are alternative R2P paths for other MNOs to take in the name
of international peace and human security. This book will be of
much interest to students of R2P, humanitarian intervention,
international organisations, Middle Eastern politics and security
studies.
This book seeks to understand the obligations of the international
community to promote and protect state and human security in
situations of international humanitarian crises. In Iraq and Syria,
as well as in neighbouring states, the rise of ISIL has raised
serious state and human security challenges. This study explores
the relationships between the Global-Regional Partnership, the
United Nations and nine organizations in their attempt to deal with
the challenges presented by ISIL. Each organization is analyzed in
terms of how it has responded in the past and how it is now
responding to the ISIL threat based on three perspectives; resource
capacities (military, political, economic, technological,
normative); willingness and readiness; and impediments to capacity
and abilities. The overall aim is to discern what capacities and
abilities international organizations have to protect state and
human security and prevent civilians from mass atrocities inflicted
by ISIL forces. The study addresses the role of international
organizations when the UNSC is unable or unwilling to uphold the
most fundamental norms and values in the UN Charter. This approach
acknowledges that within the international community there is an
overall acceptance on security for a partnership between the UN and
regional organizations, but that there is also a contested call for
a renegotiated international contract on state and human security.
This volume will be of much interest to students of international
relations, human rights, peace and conflict studies, terrorism
studies and International Relations.

English-speaking legal practitioners and academics get an ideal
introduction to the basic institutions, principles and rules of
Turkish law in this book. Encompassing all the major fields of
legal practice, Introduction to Turkish Law provides an essential
understanding of the Turkish legal system, so that users can become
familiar with law and legal processes in Turkey and pursue further
research on specific Turkish legal matters. Twelve chapters,
written by Turkish experts in their areas of specialty, focus on
particular fields and provide also the Turkish equivalents of
English terminology. The book covers the following topics: *
sources of Turkish law; * constitutional law; * administrative law;
* legal persons and business associations; * family and inheritance
matters; * property; * obligations; * criminal law; and * the laws
of civil and criminal procedure. The sixth edition reflects the
continuing adaptation of Turkish law to international standards -
especially in light of Turkey's hopes for membership in the
European Union. These aspirations forced the Turkish lawmakers to
modify some basic laws intensively or change them entirely. A short
updated list of books and articles in English on Turkish law is
appended. This concise guide is sure to continue providing
interested parties with a speedy and reliable opening to many areas
of Turkish law they need to learn about.
Because of its enormous economic power and susceptibility to
corruption, public procurement - the purchase by government of
goods and services - has come under increasing regulation as world
trade expands. Three international leaders in public procurement
law fully explain how the procurement award process must be managed
to achieve its goals in global market economy. This work should
educate government officials, trade lawyers, and students in how to
comply with existing and emerging regulatory schemes as they:
select a contractor and plan the contract, with detailed attention
to terms, conditions and specifications; allow for national
security, national industrial development, and environmental
protection; get value for money and avoid waste of public funds;
publicize contracts; combat corruption; secure successful
completion of contracts; balance pressures to buy from domestic
sources with the economic benefits of international competition;
harness procurement power to promote social and environmental
goals; enforce compliance with public procurement rules; and
recognize circumstances under which discretion-based (rather than
rules-based) initiatives may be more effective.
Improvements in adaptation and maturity leading to greater yield
are the most important criteria for the acceptance of a new crop
cultivar, since it is the yield which dictates the economic value
of the crop. Therefore, yield improvement is one goal of virtually
every crop breeding program. Many such programs have tended to
concentrate on identifying the genetic traits responsible for
higher yield and selecting each of them in the later stages of the
breeding cycle. However, selection for yield per se is still the
most effective method, since it is a combination of traits,
operating within the limits of the system, which finally determines
yield. This book presents a whole-system, or holistic viewpoint for
the improvement of adaptation, maturity and yield. Central to its
thesis is recognition that system-established changes in levels of
the components of the plant system, within a constant capacity,
i.e. within the limitations of the system, determines yield and
other cultivar characteristics. It goes on to describe how this can
improve our understanding of plant systems and enable breeders to
maximize performance under prevailing field conditions. Based
principally on 25 years of research by the authors, the ideas
presented in this book are essential reading for crop physiologists
and plant breeders.
The increasing importance of international investment has been
accompanied by the rapid development of a new field of
international law that defines the obligations of host states
towards foreign investors and creates procedures for resolving
disputes in connection with those obligations. The second edition
of Investor-State Arbitration builds on the successful first
edition to include developments in law and practice, and provides
the reader with an even more in-depth expert coverage of all
aspects of this field of international law. The book examines the
international treaties that allow investors to proceed with the
arbitration of their claims, describe the most-commonly employed
arbitration rules, and set forth the most important elements of
Investor-State arbitration procedure - including tribunal
composition, jurisdiction, evidence, award, and challenge of
annulment. The evolution and rapid development of the field of
international investment, including the formation of the
International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes
(ICSID), and more than 2,000 bilateral investment treaties, most of
which were entered into in the last twenty years, is given
dedicated coverage. Investor-State Arbitration represents an
indispensable tool for practitioners working in law firms,
governments, and NGOs involved in this field, as well as for
academics and students who are studying international law.

For more than a century, no Number 1 and Number 2 high
schoolfootball team had ever met -- until October 6, 2001 One Great
Game This is the story of two teams -- Concord De La Salle, a
private Catholic school in an upscale Northern California suburb,
and Long Beach Poly, a proud public institution from a blue-collar
SoCal seaport -- striving to achieve the same goal: the
all-American dream. In this supercharged account of the first-ever
national high-school championship game, acclaimed sports journalist
-- and former Poly varsity football player -- Don Wallace goes out
onto the field and straight into the heart of each team. One Great
Game offers a rare look at the world of young-adult sportsmanship,
featuring up-close and personal interviews with the team players
and their families, coaches and cheerleaders, rabid fans and sworn
enemies. The result is a powerful piece of sports literature in the
tradition of the classic Friday Night Lights. More than a book
about football, One Great Game is an engaging cultural history
about twenty-first-century American life.
