Abstract

The exploitation of natural resources of the moon and other celestial bodies represents one of the most fascinating developments in the fields of space law and space related activities. The mining and use of extraterrestrial mineral resources may not only contribute to the betterment of conditions of people on earth but may also enable the realization of projects such as those envisaging a permanent human presence on the surface of the moon and other celestial bodies. The exploitation of lunar and other celestial bodies’ resources, however, requires an appropriate legal framework for it to develop in an orderly and peaceful manner, taking into consideration also such broader public concerns as regards security, safety and the environment. The current legal regime regulating activities in outer space lacks the required specific rules to govern the extraction and use of natural resources of the moon and other celestial bodies once being removed from their original location. This book tries to fill this gap by proposing a legal regime aimed at regulating the mining and exploitation of extraterrestrial natural resources for commercial purposes.

Abstract

L'Antarctique, continent jadis oublié, est devenu un sujet de premier ordre dans le contexte actuel des relations internationales. Aux préoccupations juridiques, politiques et stratégiques se sont jointes par la suite les préoccupations économiques, notamment celles concernant l'exploration et l'exploitation des ressources minérales. Le silence du Traité sur l'Antarctique à cet égard a posé le problème de l'approche à suivre pour combler cette lacune, source potentielle de conflits dans la région. Il a fallu harmoniser aussi bien les intérêts des pays possessionnés que ceux des pays non possessionnés, sans perdre de vue, en même temps, les intérêts de la Communauté internationale. Le résultat de ces accommodements a été la Convention sur la Réglementation des activités relatives aux ressources minérales de l'Antarctique du 2 juin 1988, instrument qui est analysé en détail par l'auteur. La Convention, négociée dans la difficile complexité antarctique et dans une atmosphère de confrontation Nord/Sud et Sud/Sud, constitue un vrai défi pour la continuité du système. C'est dans ce contexte que certains pays en développement ont mené la bataille pour accorder à l'Antarctique le statut de « patrimoine commun de l'humanité ». Cet instrument représente l'un des meilleurs textes juridiques élaborés jusqu'à nos jours. Les intérêts économiques des Parties consultatives n'ont pas empêché une réelle préoccupation pour la protection de l'environnement et les intérêts de la Communauté internationale. L'équilibre ainsi réussi est tout à fait remarquable.

Abstract

Over recent decades, the responsibility for the past actions of the European colonial powers in relation to their former colonies has been subject to a lively debate. In this book, the question of the responsibility under international law of former colonial States is addressed. Such a legal responsibility would presuppose the violation of the international law that was applicable at the time of colonization. In the ‘Scramble for Africa’ during the Age of New Imperialism (1870-1914), European States and non-State actors mainly used cession and protectorate treaties to acquire territorial sovereignty (imperium) and property rights over land (dominium). The question is raised whether Europeans did or did not on a systematic scale breach these treaties in the context of the acquisition of territory and the expansion of empire, mainly through extending sovereignty rights and, subsequently, intervening in the internal affairs of African political entities.

Abstract

At the end of the Cold War the People's Republic of China found itself in an international crisis, facing severe problems in both domestic politics and foreign policy. Nearly two decades later, Yong Deng provides an original account of China's remarkable rise from the periphery to the center stage of the post-Cold War world. Deng examines how the once beleaguered country has adapted to, and proactively realigned, the international hierarchy, great-power politics, and its regional and global environment in order to carve out an international path within the globalized world. Creatively engaging with mainstream international relations theories and drawing extensively from original Chinese material, this is a well-grounded assessment of the promises and challenges of China's struggle to manage the interlacing of its domestic and international transitions and the interactive process between its rise and evolving world politics.

Abstract

The ongoing Egyptian-Ethiopian dispute over the Nile waters is potentially one of the most difficult issues on the current international agenda, central to the very life of the two countries. Analyzing the context of the dispute across a span of more than a thousand years, The Cross and the River delves into the heart of both countries' identities and cultures. Erlich deftly weaves together three themes: the political relationship between successive Ethiopian and Egyptian regimes, the complex connection between the Christian churches in the two countries, and the influence of the Nile river system on Ethiopian and Egyptian definitions of national identity and mutual perceptions of "the Other." Drawing on a vast range of sources, his study is key to an understanding of a bond built on both interdependence and conflict.
