As one of the most important international organisations in the
sphere of international trade law, UNCITRAL aims to further the
progressive unification of the law of international trade. This
comprehensive Companion delineates the range of issues considered
at UNCITRAL, as well as assessing the potential for future work and
reforms. Split into four key thematic sections, the book starts by
providing an institutional background to UNCITRAL, before moving on
to discuss the topic of dispute resolution, including contributions
on international arbitration, mediation, and online dispute
resolution. Further chapters then explore key topics in
international contract law, especially relating to the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
Goods. The final section of the Companion consists of chapters on a
variety of matters considered at UNCITRAL, namely, micro, small and
medium-sized businesses; insolvency; secured transactions;
negotiable instruments; public procurement; electronic commerce and
transport law. A diverse selection of contributors from a variety
of legal backgrounds come together to present the past, present and
future prospects of UNCITRAL instruments.
This comprehensive Companion is a unique guide to the Hague
Conference on Private International Law (HCCH), an
intergovernmental organisation dedicated to developing multilateral
legal instruments pertaining to personal, family and commercial
legal situations that cross national borders. The Companion is a
critical assessment of, and reflection on, past and possible future
contributions of the HCCH to the further development and
unification of private international law. Written by international
experts who have all directly or indirectly contributed to the work
of the HCCH, chapters analyse its structure and working methods, as
well as explore its significant achievements in the areas of
international family law, civil procedure, legal cooperation,
commercial and finance law. The contributors also discuss the many
challenges both the HCCH and other global organisations are facing,
including the advent of regionalism and renewed nationalism.
Scholars and students of private international law, as well as
private legal practitioners and members of the judiciary, will find
this book to be crucial reading. Those working at other
international organisations such as NGOs, banks and businesses will
also find its insights into the workings of a successful
international organisation beneficial.

Seasons 3 and 4 of the perennially popular British sitcom set in a
holiday camp in the late 50s/early 60s. In 'Nice People with Nice
Manners', Yvonne and Barry hold a party in their chalet for the
staff they consider to be 'socially acceptable'. But when Peggy
mixes up the invitations, they get a few unexpected guests. In
'Carnival Time', Joe enlists Ted's help in organising a float for
the town carnival. 'A Matter of Conscience' sees the staff at
Maplin's attempting to thwart the local council's plans to build a
new hospital right next to the camp by making as much noise as they
can. In 'The Pay-Off', the council is still determined to go ahead
with its plans to build the hospital, so Joe resorts to bribing the
local councillors. In 'Trouble and Strife', Ted's ex-wife is
demanding that he pay up his maintenance arrears. Ted has to act
quickly - and cunningly - to raise the cash in time. 'Stripes' sees
Joe promoting Gladys to Head Yellowcoat after a secret visit to the
camp. In 'Co-Respondent's Course', Jeffrey's wife sends her new
boyfriend to ask Jeffrey for a divorce. When Jeffrey is reluctant
to give grounds, her boyfriend decides to try to unearth some
evidence himself. 'It's a Blue World' sees Ted arranging a special
late-night showing of an adult film for the male campers. In
'Eruptions', Ted retaliates after having his act rudely interrupted
by a volcano in the ballroom. In 'The Society Entertainer', Spike
is a changed man after falling head over heels for one of the
female campers - much to the detriment of his act. Meanwhile,
Jeffrey has decided that Radio Maplin would benefit from having a
new voice on the airwaves. In 'Sing You Sinners', Jeffrey finds
himself standing in for the local chaplain to conduct the Sunday
Half Hour - with unnerving results. 'Maplin Intercontinental' sees
the troupe competing for a very special prize in this year's Best
Yellowcoat Competition: a transer to the new Maplin's Holiday Camp
in the Bahamas. In 'All Change', Joe appoints a new supervisor for
the Yellowcoats, but is less than delighted when he discovers that
she insists on having a chalet all to herself at the peak of the
season when the camp is filled to capacity.

Shocks and Rivalries in the Middle East and North Africa is the
first book to examine issue-driven antagonisms within groups of
Middle East and North Africa (MENA) states and their impact on
relations within the region. The volume also considers how shock
events, such as internal revolts and regional wars, can alter
interstate tensions and the trajectory of conflict. MENA has
experienced more internal rivalries than any other region, making a
detailed analysis vital to understanding the region's complex
political, cultural, and economic history. The state groupings
studied in this volume include Israel and Iran; Iran and Saudi
Arabia; Iran and Turkey; Iran, Iraq, and Syria; Egypt and Saudi
Arabia; and Algeria and Morocco. Essays are theoretically driven,
breaking the MENA region down into a collection of systems that
exemplify how state and nonstate actors interact around certain
issues. Through this approach, contributors shed rare light on the
origins, persistence, escalation, and resolution of MENA rivalries
and trace significant patterns of regional change. Shocks and
Rivalries in the Middle East and North Africa makes a major
contribution to scholarship on MENA antagonisms. It not only
addresses an understudied phenomenon in the international relations
of the MENA region, it also expands our knowledge of rivalry
dynamics in global politics.
No matter who wins the next election, Caesar will remain Caesar,
doing some good and some bad. But Christians report to a different
king. This issue starts with a provocation. In his opening letter,
editor Peter Mommsen suggests Christians are too excited about the
wrong politics: "Questions of public justice should matter deeply
to Christians. We dare not be indifferent about securing healthcare
for all and ending interventionist wars; we must seek to reduce
abortions and strengthen families. When an election comes, we
should pray and then, perhaps, lend our support to a candidate we
judge may, on balance, advance social righteousness. But if the
early Christians and the Anabaptists are right, this isn't the
politics that matters most. And so, as a matter of faithfulness, we
should question how much it deserves of our passion and time. Our
allegiance belongs elsewhere." In contrast to an election campaign,
this politics may feel grittier and less glamorous. This issue of
Plough Quarterly explores what this alternate vision of faithful
Christian witness in the political sphere might look like. You'll
find articles on: What two leading political theorists of left and
right agree on What persecution taught Anabaptists about politics
The Bruderhof's interactions with the state Tolstoy's case against
making war more humane How some Christians read Romans 13 under
fascism
Why is epistemic fallibilism a viable topic for Christian thought
and cultural engagement today? Religious fundamentalists and
scientific positivists tend to deal with reality in terms of
"knockdown" arguments, and such binary approaches to lived reality
have helped to underwrite the belligerence and polarization that
mark this age of the social media echo chamber. For those who want
to take both religion and science seriously, epistemic fallibilism
offers a possible moderating stance that claims neither too much
nor too little for either endeavor, nor forces a decision for one
side over and against the other. This book uses this
epistemological approach to fallibilism as a positive resource for
conversations that arise at the intersection of philosophy,
theology, and religion. The essays explore a range of openings into
the interstices of these often siloed fields, with the aim of
overcoming some of the impasses separating diverse ways of knowing.

This book presents a carefully constructed framework for teaching
and learning informed by philosophical and empirical foundations of
phenomenology. Based on an extensive, multi-dimensional case study
focused around the 'lived experience' of college-level teaching
preparation, classroom interaction, and students' reflections, this
book presents evidence for the claim that the worldviews of both
teachers and learners affect the way that they present and receive
knowledge. By taking a unique phenomenological approach to
pedagogical issues in higher education, this volume demonstrates
that a truly transformative learning process relies on an
engagement between consciousness and the world it 'intends'.

Perhaps most famous for UNDER MILK WOOD and his poems 'Do Not Go
Gentle into that Good Night', and 'Death Shall have no Dominion',
Dylan Thomas was a hugely colourful and iconic poet whose work was
greatly admired by contemporaries such as Edith Sitwell and Sylvia
Plath. He wrote well over 380 published poems as well as 50
journal-published poems, pastiches, poems from letters and radio
plays. This new edition of the author's poems looks at his body of
work in a new light, including material that was previously
overlooked or excluded from collections, as well as bringing to
bear advances in critical theory. Most importantly it emphasises
how accessible and immediate his work was, demonstrating its
relevance to a contemporary audience.
