RAND researchers generated four plausible near-term great power war scenarios and assessed how they could shape the postwar strategic environment.

The book examines the extent to which Chinese cyber and network security laws and policies act as a constraint on the emergence of Chinese entrepreneurialism and innovation. Specifically, how the contradictions and tensions between data localisation laws (as part of Network Sovereignty policies) affect innovation in artificial intelligence (AI). The book surveys the globalised R&D networks, and how the increasing use of open-source platforms by leading Chinese AI firms during 2017-2020, exacerbated the apparent contradiction between Network Sovereignty and Chinese innovation. The drafting of the Cyber Security Law did not anticipate the changing nature of globalised AI innovation. It is argued that the deliberate deployment of what the book refers to as 'fuzzy logic' in drafting the Cyber Security Law allowed regulators to subsequently interpret key terms regarding data in that Law in a fluid and flexible fashion to benefit Chinese innovation.

Puppenspieler in der Ukraine und TaiwanWer auf die Landkarte blickt, sieht, dass die USA Russland und China einkreisen. Sie spielen mit dem Feuer und gefährden die europäische Sicherheit durch die beabsichtige Aufstellung von landgestützten Atomraketen und Anti-Raketenbasen in Polen und Rumänien. Der Tribut, den die USA von ihren europäischen Vasallen verlangen, ist die Erhöhung der Militärausgaben auf zwei Prozent des Bruttoinlandsproduktes, der Ersatz russischer Erdgas-Lieferungen durch umweltschädliches US-Fracking-Gas und die vorbehaltlose Unterstützung der US-Handelskriege mit China, Russland und dem Iran. Europa muss sich von der amerikanischen Vorherrschaft befreien. Die USA (700 Milliarden Dollar Militärausgaben) brauchen die europäischen Staaten (rund 300 Milliarden Dollar Rüstungsausgaben) für ihre Sicherheit nicht. Sie brauchen sie nur als Vasallen, um ihre Weltherrschaft auszuüben. Europa ist wirtschaftlich und militärisch in der Lage, sein Schicksal selbst zu bestimmen. Es muss sich vom Schlepptau der USA lösen. Es gelten die Worte Helmut Schmidts: Europa muss Russland als Partner sehen, nicht als Gegner Für den Frieden in der Welt geht von Russland heute viel weniger Gefahr aus, als etwa von Amerika.

Is there a future for the law? In this book, Florian Grisel addresses one of the most fascinating questions raised by social scientists in the past few decades. Since the 1980s, socio-legal scholars have argued that governance based on social norms (or "private governance") can offer an alternative to regulation by the law. On this account, private governance could be socially efficient and even optimal compared with other modes of governance.The Limits of Private Governance supplements this optimistic analysis of private governance by assessing the long-term evolution of a private order in the fishery of Marseille. In the last eight centuries, the fishers of Marseille have regulated their community without apparent means of legal support from the French state. In the early 15th century, they even created an organisation called the Prud'homie de Pêche in order to regulate their fishery.Based on archival evidence, interviews and ethnographic data, Grisel examines the evolution of the Prud'homie de Pêche and argues that the strong social norms in which it is embedded are not only powerful tools of governance, but also forces of inertia that have constrained its regulatory action. The lessons drawn from this book will appeal to academics, policy-makers and members of the general public who have an interest in the governance of our modern societies.

This book analyses the founding years of consumer law and consumer policy in Europe. It combines two dimensions: the making of national consumer law and the making of European consumer law, and how both are intertwined. The chapters on Germany, Italy, the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom serve to explain the economic and the political background which led to different legal and policy approaches in the then old Member States from the 1960s onwards. The chapter on Poland adds a different layer, the one of a former socialist country with its own consumer law and how joining the EU affected consumer law at the national level. The making of European consumer law started in the 1970s rather cautiously, but gradually the European Commission took an ever stronger position in promoting not only European consumer law but also in supporting the building of the European Consumer Organisation (BEUC), the umbrella organisation of the national consumer bodies. The book unites the early protagonists who were involved in the making of consumer law in Europe: Guido Alpa, Ludwig Krämer, Ewa Letowska, Hans-W Micklitz, Klaus Tonner, Iain Ramsay, and Thomas Wilhelmsson, supported by the younger generation Aneta Wiewiórowska Domagalska, Mateusz Grochowski, and Koen Docter, who reconstructs the history of BEUC. Niklas Olsen and Thomas Roethe analyse the construction of this policy field from a historical and sociological perspective.This book offers a unique opportunity to understand a legal and political field, that of consumer law and policy, which plays a fundamental role in our contemporary societies.
