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

Hidden Treasure A Map to the Child's Inner Self

Hidden Treasure A Map to the Child's Inner Self

Hidden Treasure is a follow up to Oaklander's first book Windows To Our Children. Most of the books available in working with this population are written from a traditional 'play therapy' point of view. The Gestalt Therapy-based approach provides a more effective method for psychotherapeutic work with children of all ages. The focus is on the relationship between the therapist and client rather than observation and interpretation. It is a vigorous dynamic approach. Violet Oaklander uses a wide variety of creative expressive and projective techniques in her work and each chapter reflects and exemplifies the use of this work in the service of therapy. The approach is applicable to a wide variety of ages as well as individual family and group settings. The book will interest child and adolescent psychotherapists psychologists social workers counselors interns school personnel as well as graduate-level students. Parents may also find it helpful as well as adults who are interested in the child within. | Hidden Treasure A Map to the Child's Inner Self

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

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
