Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

Migrant Labour in Europe (1987) examines the movement of workers from less prosperous parts of Europe to areas with demand for their services. The author identifies seven major systems of migrant labour: the North Sea System (mainly Westphalian workers heading for the German and Dutch North Sea Coast and Walloon/French workers bound for the Belgian and Zeeland coasts); the area between London and the Humber; the Paris Basin; Provence Languedoc and Catalonia; Castile; Piedmont; and central Italy with Corsica. A detailed study of the first of these systems tracing its development and changes is brought into a synchronic relation with data for the other regions. The evidence shows major waves of immigration in the seventeenth century and a rapid diminution of migratory labour to the North Sea in the last quarter of the nineteenth century a time when new ‘pull areas’ were created by the expanding industrial complexes of Germany and labour began to come in from areas outside Europe. | Migrant Labour in Europe 1600–1900 The Drift to the North Sea

The Law of the Sea Normative Context and Interactions with other Legal Regimes

The Law of the Sea Normative Context and Interactions with other Legal Regimes

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea follows a comprehensive approach and can be interpreted dynamically to include the regulation of all potential human uses of the ocean but the law of the sea cannot be viewed in isolation from other fields of international law. International law does not resemble a hierarchically structured legal system; its different parts interact when different rules address the same activity or situation. The academic discussion concerning the specialization and proliferation of international legal rules and dispute settlement bodies has theoretical as well as practical relevance for the law of the sea and its interaction with other parts of international law. The intensified use of the oceans for different purposes and the ongoing proliferation of international rules addressing different activities from different perspectives and with distinct foci require a more thorough evaluation of how the law of the sea relates to other fields of international law how the normative context can be approached theoretically and if interdisciplinary interfaces can be adequately addressed. This book discusses the normative context of the law of the sea and the interactions of the law of the sea with other legal regimes. By connecting high-quality research with new ideas and perspectives this book offers expertise from different fields and perspectives in which the interaction between the law of the sea and other fields of international law becomes particularly relevant. | The Law of the Sea Normative Context and Interactions with other Legal Regimes

Preventing Terrorist Attacks at Sea Maritime Terrorism Risk and International Law

Preventing Terrorist Attacks at Sea Maritime Terrorism Risk and International Law

Over recent decades it has been widely recognised that terrorist attacks at sea could result in major casualties and cause significant disruptions to the free flow of international shipping. After discussing the overlaps and distinctions between piracy and maritime terrorism this book considers how the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code and other vessel identification and tracking measures in the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea would be likely to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks at sea. It explains how the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is less than clear on the powers of states to protect offshore installations submarine cables and pipelines from interference by terrorists. In light of these uncertainties it considers how the 2005 Protocol to the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against Maritime Navigation the doctrine of necessity and states’ inherent self-defence rights might apply in the maritime security context. A significant contribution of the book is the formulation of the Maritime Terrorism Threat Matrix which provides a structured framework for examining how maritime terrorism incidents have occurred and might occur in the future. The book also examines the relevant national maritime security legislation for preventing maritime terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom and in Australia. The book concludes by formulating guidelines for the unilateral interdiction of suspected terrorist vessels in exceptional circumstances and recommending priorities for governments and international maritime industries to focus on in order to reduce the risk for terrorist attacks at sea. It will be of interest to those working in the areas of Law and Terrorism Law of the Sea Maritime Law and Insurance and International Law. | Preventing Terrorist Attacks at Sea Maritime Terrorism Risk and International Law

Invasion Operation Sea Lion 1940

Sea Level Change and Maritime Boundaries

Sea Level Change and Maritime Boundaries

Climate change is modifying in varying measure the coastal geography of States. The phenomenon is not temporary but is expected to carry on during the 21st century and beyond. A distinctive feature of modern international law is the concept of maritime zones. Each maritime area is subject to an intricate scheme of States’ rights and obligations. Coastal geography is a fundamental component of a long-standing method developed and agreed upon between States to establish the outward limits of these areas. A feature of this method is the baseline. In international law it is the only reference line from where the outward limits of maritime zones are measured. There are clear rules on how this is established along a coast. There is a concern amongst a number of States that rising sea water levels as a result of climate change may compel them to shift their baselines inward thus affecting the outward limits of their maritime zones. It is clear that the stability of maritime boundaries is put into question and this may bring about serious political legal and economic repercussions. This concern may also affect the outcome of dispute settlement procedures before a competent international court or tribunal the purpose of which is to resolve overlapping maritime claims. Key questions emerge. What is the role played by coastal geography in the legal regime determining the outward limits of maritime zones? What are the consequences of changes to coastal geography? To what extent are dispute settlement procedures before a Court or Tribunal immune from this concern? Is international law able to address this? If so in what way and what are its limits? What can be done to resolve this? | Sea Level Change and Maritime Boundaries

Russia and Japan in the Sea of Okhotsk A Global History of Maritime Travel and Cultural Encounters 1600-1900

Bailey describes how the Sea of Okhotsk area became integrated into a world system of economic and cultural ties between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. This happened primarily because of maritime explorations travel and trade which led to increased connections with both Russia and Japan. Individual chapters of the book provide analyses of historical sources which describe cross-cultural encounters and changes in the Sea of Okhotsk area. This includes analyses of explorers and travelers who traversed the region for commerce exploration diplomacy and possible colonization. Historical sources are explored from the different perspectives of Russians Japanese Indigenous peoples and international observers from Western countries. Cross-cultural encounters in the region among these groups led to collaboration syncretism and resistance sometimes violent and sometimes peaceful. The last chapter discusses how some international travelers and foreign residents of Hokkaidō described the area at the end of the nineteenth century. Their perspectives confirm that Hokkaidō had become a fully colonized space. An essential resource for students and scholars of cross-cultural studies Russian history Japanese history and Ainu and Indigenous history. | Russia and Japan in the Sea of Okhotsk A Global History of Maritime Travel and Cultural Encounters 1600-1900

Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Liberalism and Naval Strategy (1986) examines the role that liberalism played in shaping the naval strategy of the Pax Britannia. Liberalism was linked to commercial interest and the devotion of the middle classes to peaceful commerce and their suspicion of force as government policy helped to inform critical choices. The traditional British naval strategy of the mercantilist era persisted into the early nineteenth century when the Royal Navy’s policing of the seas against piracy and the slave trade antagonized trade rivals particularly America. By the 1850s Britain granted immunity to neutral shipping – after much debate with some of the century’s leading thinkers including Mill and Marx taking prominent parts in the naval controversies. This book examines these events as well as the writings of contemporary naval strategists including the Colomb brothers. It also discusses the strategic posture of the Admiralty and its opponents before and during the war against Germany in 1914. | Liberalism and Naval Strategy Ideology Interest and Sea Power During the Pax Britannica

Advocacy Networks and the Responsibility to Protect The Politics of Norm Circulation

Advocacy Networks and the Responsibility to Protect The Politics of Norm Circulation

This book contributes to existing debates on the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) by demonstrating new advocacy strategies and the greater interconnectedness of various R2P proponents. In 2021 the UN General Assembly adopted a new resolution on R2P which reaffirmed its commitment from the 2005 World Summit Outcome and put R2P on the annual agenda. For many R2P proponents this was another manifestation of worldwide R2P relevance and of growing support among UN members to protect people from genocide war crimes ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. Yet the existing crises in Myanmar Venezuela Belarus Syria and many others revealed the widening gap between the discourse and practice. This book aims to find out what keeps the concept alive despite its indisputable pitfalls. In contrast to existing studies that treat the R2P endorsement or contestation as intertwined processes of norm evolution it argues that the status of R2P has been accomplished by the conscious politics of its advocates operating in complex global networks. As such the book puts emphasis on the agency of R2P champions and examines who keeps the idea resonating and how they manage to preserve its worldwide relevance. Rather than proposing a new model of advocacy the book aims to pinpoint the politics of R2P's circulation the importance of individual R2P champions and their interconnectedness through innovative forms of cooperation within complex networks. This book will be of much interest to students of the R2P diplomacy human rights foreign policy and International Relations. | Advocacy Networks and the Responsibility to Protect The Politics of Norm Circulation

Coming to Know

Coming to Know

First published in 1980 Coming to Know offers an account which runs counter to orthodox educational psychology in which learning and knowledge are reified emotional aspects are excluded the personal-social situation of the learner is ignored and the created character of knowledge with all its social and political ramifications is denied. This collection of work explores personal knowing in a wide range of activities from children’s classroom adjustment through student learning as a social practice to women’s perceptions of themselves. It argues that the processes of learning and knowing are not divorced from the learner as a person. Broadly humanistic in its approach Coming to Know provides a welcome counterbalance to the scientific theory of learning. This book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of educational psychology and also for teachers and educationists.
