Abstract

Alors que plus de 90 % du volume de marchandises produites dans le monde transitent chaque année par la mer, le transport maritime demeure un univers largement méconnu. Comment s'organisent ces flux de marchandises ? Que se passe-t-il sur ces géants de la mondialisation que sont les navires de commerce ? Qui y travaille, comment, et à quel prix ?À partir d'une enquête ethnographique, cet ouvrage propose de découvrir l'envers de l'acheminement des biens que nous consommons et de saisir le travail mondialisé " par le bas ". Tandis que les profondes transformations qui ont affecté le secteur ces dernières années ont instauré une rationalisation extrême, commandée par la logique marchande, ce qui faisait le sel de la vie de marin semble s'être réduit comme peau de chagrin. Dans ce huis clos de la mondialisation, le collectif de travail doit répondre à des injonctions contradictoires : assurer la sécurité de tous tout en transportant davantage et en flux continu, garantir des formes de solidarité malgré les inégalités de statut et de rémunération. Selon les situations, les identités de classe, de race et de genre se font et se défont, sans pour autant donner lieu à une remise en cause des hiérarchies sociales – il en va de la paix sociale à bord.

Abstract

"Maritime wellbeing is not only essential for the mental and physical health of seafarers but also crucial for the safe and efficient operation of ships. The mental and emotional wellbeing of seafarers can directly impact their job performance, decision-making abilities, and overall safety of the ship. Neglecting the importance of maritime wellbeing can lead to accidents, injuries, and even fatalities at sea. Therefore, it is vital to prioritize the wellbeing of seafarers and provide them with adequate support, resources, and training to ensure a healthy and safe working environment onboard ship. This book aims to raise awareness about the significance of maritime wellbeing and encourage industry-wide initiatives to promote seafarers' mental and physical health. Maritime Wellbeing is one of the most neglected fields in today's world. Seafarers, who are veterans of the maritime industry, have been working on ships that have both homes and workplaces far from their houses and loved ones for years. Staying mentally strong in a ship environment where social life is limited, and work-life balance is not available may only be related to having psychological resilience. This book aims to cover wellbeing subjects related to seafarers' and maritime wellbeing. The objective of this book, together with all its contributing authors, is to increase the psychological well-being of our seafarers, to reduce stress and to lay the groundwork for them to provide mentally and physically healthier ship environments"--

Abstract

"The book investigates China's relations to the outside world between ca. 100 BCE and 1800 CE. In contrast to most histories of the Silk Roads, the focus of this book clearly lies on the maritime Silk Road and on the period between Tang and high Qing, selecting aspects that have so far been neglected in research on the history of China's relations with the outside world. The author examines, for example, issue of 'imperialism' in imperial China, the specific role of fanbing (frontier tribal troops) during Song times, the interrelationship between maritime commerce, military expansion, and environmental factors during the Yuan, the question of whether or not early Ming China can be considered a (proto-)colonialist country, the role force and violence played during the Zheng He expeditions, and the significance the Asia-Pacific world possessed for late Ming and early Qing rulers"

Abstract

In the aftermath of the Spanish-American War, the United States' acquisition of an overseas empire compelled the nation to reconsider the boundary between domestic and foreign - and between nation and empire. William D. Riddell looks at the experiences of merchant sailors and labor organizations to illuminate how domestic class conflict influenced America's emerging imperial system.

Abstract

Der Autor befasst sich mit den (verbands-)rechtlichen Grenzen einer privaten Super-Liga im europäischen Spitzenfußball. Er geht - ebenso wie der EuGH in der Rs. C-333/21 - der Frage nach, ob die UEFA konkurrierende Wettbewerbe regulieren und Klubs und Spieler für die Teilnahme an solchen Wettbewerben sanktionieren darf, um die etablierten Strukturen des europäischen Sportmodells zu schützen. Anders als der EuGH untersucht er dabei auch die Vereinbarkeit der neuen UEFA-Genehmigungsregeln für internationale Klubwettbewerbe (Ausgabe 2022) mit dem EU-Kartellrecht. Gegenstand der Arbeit ist zudem die unionskartellrechtliche Zulässigkeit einer geschlossenen europäischen Super-Liga.

Abstract

"Contemporary Issues in Regulation of Risk provides a comprehensive insight into regulation of risk in transport, trade and environment. Contributions provide national, regional and international perspectives on pressing questions: How is risk conceived in light of novel technological deployment, climate change, political upheaval, evolving geopolitics, and the COVID-19 pandemic? What legal tools such as contractual frameworks and governance structures are available to manage the changing landscape of risk? This book highlights the importance of dialogue and collaborative decision-making on risk between policymakers, institutions, societal stakeholders and the scientific community"--
