Book Description
Marking 150 years since Confederation provides an opportunity for Canadian international law practitioners and scholars to reflect on Canada’s rich history in international law and governance, where we find ourselves today in the community of nations, and how we might help shape a future in which Canada’s rules-based and progressive approach to international law gains ascendancy. This collection of essays, each written in the official language chosen by the authors, provides a thoughtful perspective on Canada’s past and present in international law, surveys the challenges that lie before us, and offers renewed focus for Canada’s pursuit of global justice and the rule of law. Part I explores the history and practice of international law, including sources of international law, Indigenous treaties, international treaty diplomacy, domestic reception of international law, and Parliament’s role in international law. Part II explores Canada’s role in international law, governance and innovation in the broad fields of economic, environmental, and intellectual property law. Part III explores Canadian perspectives on developments in international human rights and humanitarian law, including judicial implementation of these obligations, international labour law, business and human rights, international criminal law, war crimes, child soldiers, and gender. Reflections on Canada’s Past, Present and Future in International Law/Réflexions sur le passé, le présent et l’avenir du Canada en droit international demonstrates the pivotal role that Canada has played in the development of international law and signals the essential contributions the country is poised to make in the future.

English as a Lingua Franca
Author: Anna Mauranen
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443815810
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
English as a lingua franca has become a hot topic in Applied Linguistics and English Studies. While it has been a subject of controversy for some time, linguistic observations on actual use have largely been missing out of the debate. This is now changing fast, and the study of English as a lingua franca has become a vibrant research field. This book reflects achievements in the growing field; it presents a good selection of empirical findings, thus providing substance to arguments. It comprises contributions from pioneers and established scholars in the field, along with reports from substantial ongoing research projects. The papers offer insights into the workings of English as a lingua franca in different contexts—conversational, academic, professional, and business situations. They tackle essential theoretical issues, analyse linguistic and interactional features of ELF, and discuss attitudes towards ELF. The studies are firmly anchored in analyses of authentic language in social interaction, some also using survey and interview data. Many papers also touch upon debates on language policy and linguistic ideologies. This collection of papers from the key areas of current ELF research will be of interest to English linguists and applied linguists, graduate and undergraduate students of English, educational and language planners, and teachers of English.

Le système d'échange de quotas d'émission de gaz à effet de serre
Author: Cédric Cheneviere-Mesdag
Publisher: Bruylant
ISBN: 280276117X
Category : Law
Languages : fr
Pages : 376
Book Description
Depuis plus de dix ans, le système d’échange de quotas d’émission de gaz à effet de serre (SEQE) constitue le principal outil de l’Union européenne et de ses États membres pour lutter contre les changements climatiques. Ce système couvre aujourd’hui plus de 11.000 entreprises issues principalement des secteurs industriels et de l’aviation. Jusqu’à son adoption, ce type d’institution juridique était pourtant inconnu en droit de l’Union. Bien que fixant des objectifs de réduction des émissions précis, le SEQE s’écarte cependant de la rigidité des voies traditionnellement suivies dans le domaine de l’environnement. Il se caractérise, en effet, par la flexibilité offerte aux entreprises, leur permettant d’échanger des quotas d’émission et, partant, de préserver la liberté de leurs stratégies industrielles. Pour concilier les impératifs environnementaux, économiques et sociaux, le SEQE s’appuie sur un complexe entrelacs de textes législatifs et réglementaires. Plus encore, les compromis politiques sont à la source de nombreuses dérogations et exceptions. Fort de ces constats, l’ouvrage analyse comment les législateurs européens et nationaux, sous le contrôle du juge de l’Union, entendent combattre le réchauffement planétaire sans pour autant mettre en péril les principes d’égalité et de libre concurrence au sein du marché intérieur. Cet ouvrage se présente ainsi comme un outil précieux pour tous ceux, praticiens ou actifs dans les milieux académiques, qui s’intéressent au droit du climat et au SEQE.

Cartographies of Diaspora
Author: Avtar Brah
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134808674
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 300
Book Description
By addressing questions of culture, identity and politics, Cartographies of Diaspora throws new light on discussions about `difference' and `diversity', informed by feminism and post-structuralism. It examines these themes by exploring the intersections of `race', gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity, generation and nationalism in different discourses, practices and political contexts. The first three chapters map the emergence of `Asian' as a racialized category in post-war British popular and political discourse and state practices. It documents Asian cultural and political responses paying particular attention to the role of gender and generation. The remaining six chapters analyse the debate on `difference', `diversity' and `diaspora' across different sites, but mainly within feminism, anti-racism, and post-structuralism.
