This timely book explores the contribution of international human rights and investment law to advancing climate action. It presents a unique perspective on climate change in an international law context, analyzing areas of law that are critical to the achievement of the Paris Agreement’s goals in the absence of sufficient state ambition.Bringing together diverse trends and approaches, expert authors explore the opportunities and challenges of climate change in relation to human rights and investment law, illustrating the evolution of normative standards, litigation and law-making through this framework. Chapters assess the impact of normative reforms that aim to better incorporate climate commitments, the role of adjudication in ensuring the enforcement of such obligations, and the processes leading to the adoption of new climate-friendly agreements. Ultimately, both human rights and investment law are shown to both support and undermine climate considerations against the background of a marked uptick in climate-related litigation in these fields.Identifying solutions to advance international legal action on climate change, this book is a crucial resource for scholars and students of environmental, international investment, and human rights law. Practitioners and policymakers will also benefit from the practical and theoretical insights.

This book provides a multi-jurisdictional analysis of the role of law in accelerating the development of floating offshore wind energy. With ongoing technological advancements in the context of the energy transition, floating offshore wind represents a significant advancement in the global transition towards sustainable energy. Debates around the inherent ecological tensions raised by fixed-bottom offshore wind turbines, as well as the value of deeper offshore wind exploration, are considered alongside unanswered questions on the complexity of the marine environment and its governance in relation to the deployment of floating offshore wind energy. Other questions focus on marine spatial planning, licensing and permitting procedures, and the safety of installing and maintaining complex offshore energy infrastructure. Although these issues partially coincide with those related to traditional bottom-fixed installation, the book provides an opportunity to test the extent to which traditional legal and regulatory strategies may or may not be suited to the fast-growing deployment of floating offshore wind energy. Written by experts across multiple jurisdictions where floating projects are being developed, the book unlocks new thinking on regulatory modelling and design at a time when floating wind is expected to resolve the complexity of the Energy Quadrilemma.

The central theme The Ubaldini and the City is the classic confrontation between feudal society and a resurgent urban form as the central instrument of organisation of European society, which is crucial to the origins of Europe as we know it today. The analysis starts from a reconstruction of the historical role played by the Ubaldini on the basis of a critical reconsideration of the available documentary evidence, and the results appear to be perfectly consistent with the general pattern for the Florentine aristocracy. The theme is one of ‘boundaries’: between historical and archaeological evidence, between the late Middle Ages and the birth of modernity; it concerns space with the establishment of new ‘borders’ which evolve from Terra Nuova and become completely territorial. The book takes as its subject a turning point in the history of the late Middle Ages on the threshold of the modern world: the crisis and collapse of the traditional feudal and rural world and the emergence of new territorial states based on the cities.

This incisive book examines the interaction between international climate law and international trade law for the promotion of renewable energy. Alessandro Monti utilizes the emerging principle of mutual supportiveness to inform and guide his analysis of the specific interactions between climate and trade law in the renewable energy sector.The book makes a meaningful contribution to the literature within public international law, engaging with scholarly discourse on the fragmentation of international law and providing an in-depth analysis of the theoretical context against which the principle of mutual supportiveness is emerging. Chapters examine the WTO jurisprudence on renewable energy subsidies, propose specific solutions to improve the alignment between climate and trade law, and build a case for the development of climate-friendly trade policies. Taking account of the multifaceted interactions between international climate and trade law, Monti highlights the implications of trade disputes on renewable energy and the promotion of climate objectives.Addressing the specialized legal regimes of both climate and trade law, Promoting Renewable Energy will prove a valuable resource to students and scholars of environmental, trade, and energy law. International policy officers, legal practitioners and NGOs working on climate, trade and energy policies will also benefit from its examination of relevant legal frameworks.

In der Wirtschaftsgeschichte sind historische Ausarbeitungen zu marktnahen Themen wie Absatz- und Preispolitik weitgehend unterrepräsentiert. Am Beispiel der Porzellanmanufaktur Meißen im 18. Jahrhundert soll nun diese Lücke geschlossen werden. Die Meißner Manufaktur – seit 1710 die wohl berühmteste und älteste Porzellanmanufaktur Europas – gilt mit ihren künstlerisch hochwertigen Porzellanen als Inbegriff des Barock und Rokoko. Der Autor zeigt auf, dass Marketingthemen wie Preispolitik und -strategie keine Erscheinungen des modernen industriellen Zeitalters sind, sondern schon seit dem frühen 18. Jahrhundert die Entscheidungsträger im Manufakturwesen wesentlich beschäftigt haben. Die Studie untersucht anhand historischer Dokumente die vorherrschenden Preis- und Vertriebsstrategien, den operativen Einfluss der sächsischen Landesherrschaft unter dem "Porzellanliebhaber" August dem Starken und seinen Nachfolgern, die internen Entscheidungsprozesse zur Preisfindung, die verschiedenen Kalkulationsmethodiken, den Umgang mit dem Wettbewerb und nicht zuletzt auch die Entwicklung des betriebswirtschaftlichen Know-hows im vorindustriellen Zeitalter. Es zeigt sich, dass die damaligen Akteure im Umgang mit dem "weißen Gold" mehr als nur einmal preis- und absatzpolitisches Neuland betreten mussten.
