▼ This thesis is concerned with the progressive development of
international enforcement. In effect, it explores the normative pull of
international law and its influence on compliance with
international environmental obligations. Moreover, it looks to the notion of progress in
international law and assesses its influence within the sphere of
international enforcement. In recent decades, the effect of contemporary environmental challenges on the enjoyment of various values and rights have become more apparent. It is in light of this present situation that this thesis explores the progressive development of
international enforcement. Furthermore, it is in light of this situation that the thesis makes a claim for enhanced compliance with
international environmental obligations. The thesis main argument is that the normative pull of
international law can increase the effectiveness of
international enforcement within the context of some
international environmental obligations. Furthermore, the thesis posits that looking to the notion of progress in
international law can advance an understanding of how the normative pull impacts the authority and legitimacy of
international enforcement measures. To that end, it is argued that the notion of progress in
international law, by coinciding with authority in
international law, justifies coercive enforcement actions; and further, that the notion of progress, by influencing the legitimacy of
international enforcement, contributes to the necessity of compliance. In effect the notion of progress in
international law, therefore, has the capacity to influence compliance with
international environmental obligations. In order to contextualise the theoretical arguments and assumptions made, the thesis looks to two
international environmental obligations: The obligation to avert the cause of climate change and the obligation to preserve and protect the marine environment.

▼ In these essays, I examine quantitatively some of the classic questions in the field of International Economics: What is the impact of international trade on consumption and productivity? How does international trade affect income inequality? How do exchange rates movements affect real output and productivity? This dissertation is composed of three chapters, each covering one of these topics.The first chapter, based on my paper "Measured Gains from International Trade" with Ariel Burstein, revisits the measurement of welfare gains from trade liberalizations. Economists so far have measured these gains using one of two alternative approaches. A first approach uses structural models to infer unobservable welfare gains from changes in trade costs or in trade patterns. A second approach documents the empirical link between the level or the change in international trade and aggregate indicators of economic activity. This chapter connects these two approaches by studying the relationship between the theoretical welfare gains from trade and observable aggregate measures of economic activity, such as real GDP and real consumption, as constructed by national statistical agencies. Across a wide range of models, we find that measured real GDP and productivity rise in response to reductions in variable trade costs if GDP deflators capture the decline in trade costs. On the other hand, welfare gains from tariffs reductions are only reflected on real GDP if tariff revenues at constant prices rise. The second chapter analyzes the impact of capital equipment imports on income inequality across 53 countries. The chapter is based on my paper "Importing Skill Biased Technology" with Ariel Burstein and Jonathan Vogel. Capital equipment, such as computers and industrial machinery, is mostly operated by skilled workers and generally takes on routine tasks that are otherwise performed by unskilled workers. When a country imports capital equipment, it raises the relative demand of skilled versus unskilled workers, increasing income inequality. The chapter develops a tractable model of international trade in capital goods to quantify these effects. In doing so, it provides sufficient statistics and transparent formulas that will enable development practitioners to independently assess how trade in capital goods affects income inequality. We estimate that imports of equipment account for 16 percent of the income gap between skilled and unskilled workers in the median country in our sample, and for a much larger magnitude in economies that heavily rely on imported capital equipment. We also show that imports of capital equipment are essential to increase productivity and income in developing countries, both for skilled and unskilled workers, although my findings suggest these imports will disproportionately benefit the skilled segment of the population. In the third chapter, "Exchange Rates, Aggregate Productivity and the Currency of Invoicing of International Trade", I use a novel dataset on prices and quantities from Chilean customs and a…

▼ This world is devoted to a general survey of the legal and political aspects of the organisation of African Unity as it operates today. An attempt has been made to briefly trace the history of the O.A.U. and how it has attemted to solve disputes among its member states.
The work has however, suffered from lack of a sufficient number of original sources. The Zambian Industries
of Legal and foreign Affairs from whore it v;as originally
planned to obtain original documents, refused to give any
information, The African desk stated that as a matter of
policy, they were not allowed to disclose any information to
researchers because these materials were State secrets.
The little original materials were only obtained from the United Nation Information Centre, In the alternative, secondary' sources have been largely relied upon, and this dictated both the descriptive and analytical form taken by the paper.
It has been the author's intention to combine the legal and political aspects of the O.A.U, in order to make general conclusion about certain aspects of the O.A.U. today, Chapter I of the paper deals with the historical background to the founding of the O.A.U,Chapter II examines the organs and principles of the O.A.U, and their implications.
Chapter III examines a selected number of disputes which have confronted the O.A.U. and the attempts the organization has made to resolve then. The relationship between the O.A.U TI, and the International Court of Justice is discussed in Chapter TV,The factors that undermine the Unity of African states are further examined in Chapter V.A review of the Charter of the O.A.U has been suggested in Chapter VI, followed by a summary of the discussion in Chapter III.It is hoped that students of both law and political science will find this study useful in understanding the politics of the O.A.U. as a regional,organization.

▼ International indigenous rights represent a special category of human rights, offering a potent tool in the community-based defense of indigenous lands and livelihoods. State sovereignty has, however, historically been used to trump indigenous claims. New transnational advocacy networks have formed to promote and support indigenous rights claims in international law. In the Americas, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (CIDH) has assumed a lead role in issuing important rulings that validate new international norms for indigenous rights. The challenge, identified in this thesis, is the implementation of these rulings through effective domestic policy.
To realize effective implementation of international rights, domestic political realties cannot be sidestepped or ignored. This thesis focuses on indigenous property rights in the Americas. These rights are always contentious. Natural resources like oil, minerals and timber attract many powerful interests. There is an urgent need for a careful and systematic investigation into domestic level variables that can either hinder or help norm implementation.
Even universal human rights present a challenge for state compliance. A number of scholars have explored the problem of human rights norm implementation and identified a number of important variables. These include the domestic structural context, norm salience, material constraints and international influences. This thesis builds on Thomas Risse and Kathryn Sikkink’s Spiral Model of Human Rights Change (1999) by applying it to the specific case of indigenous rights to property in a comparative case study. Beginning with two important IACHR rulings for indigenous property rights, the Sarayaku case in the oil-rich Ecuadorian Amazon and the Awas Tingni case in the mahogany forests of the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua, the Spiral Model is used to highlight key variables that can impact the process of implementation at the level of the state.

▼ This thesis explores the law of state responsibility in international law from a critical standpoint. The main argument is that there are no longer justifications for holding state responsibility as the foremost responsibility system in international law. The importance of state responsibility has diminished; state responsibility has moved from a paradigm to the periphery in the international legal order. The thesis advances on two fronts to prove the veracity of the argument. First, it evaluates the law of state responsibility as adopted in the International Law Commission s 2001 Articles on State Responsibility in order to pinpoint problems in the general state responsibility rules. Second, the thesis explores how alternative constructions of responsibility, that is international liability and international criminal law, have overtaken portions of the state responsibility domain.
Functionality is presented as the most suitable appraisal framework for an analysis of how state responsibility rules respond to challenges such as globalization and its actors, the diversity of responsibility ideas, and the normative fragmentation of responsibility in international law. The thesis thus prioritizes the practical usefulness of a responsibility regime in international law rather than abstract system-building functions. The exploration into the functionality of rules for state responsibility is preceded by an excursion into the evolution of state responsibility. The historical outlook will reveal how the rules developed, what dilemmas have characterized the state responsibility project and how these tensions have affected the formation of the ILC state responsibility rules.
The critical appraisal of the general rules of state responsibility addresses a range of problems that relate to legal pluralization, form, function and implementation. It is argued that the state responsibility rules are unable to respond to the multi-actor and multi-issue world, to norm differentiation, and to the diversity of function, all of which contributes to the marginalization of the law of state responsibility. The thesis contends that the decision to create one all-embracing responsibility system for all kinds of violations of international law in order to build a credible international legal order actually led to lessened functionality. Real-world problems of crucial importance to the international community cannot be effectively handled under the state responsibility regime.
From the demerits of state responsibility, the thesis proceeds to explore particularized responsibility regimes that have developed and strengthened as alternatives to state responsibility. International liability and international criminal law rules are explored from specific points of functionality that state responsibility is ill-suited to handle, i.e. social control, collectivity and the signalling effect. It is submitted that their particularity is an asset that allows regimes to deal with real problems in flexible and creative ways. They have thus effectively…

▼ This study focuses on aspects of change in German strategic culture, i.e. on the changes in ways of thinking about and pursuing security and defence policy and the views on the questions of peace, war and the use of military force, in particular after the end of the Cold War. The overarching aim of the study is to provide a novel reading on German strategic culture, and this has been done by shifting the focus of research on strategic culture from the study of continuity to the study of change. This enables us to tell better stories about strategic cultures both in terms of how internal and external challenges leading to questions about the continuity of strategic cultural patterns and how strategic culture is shaped by the social and political reality of the strategic actors.
The first main contribution of the study is to question the mantra of continuity that has been the primary object of study in the existing strategic culture research. This mantra has ultimately led to a rather stale and static state of affairs in terms of the contributions that strategic culture research is able to make in the field of International Relations. Instead, the study argues for a research agenda that identifies the nature, mechanisms and outcomes of strategic cultural change. The study achieves this by critically assessing the existing accounts of strategic cultural change and creating an analytical framework that stresses both the processes and outcomes of strategic cultural change. This framework is informed by critical realist metatheory since it enables us to move ahead of the epistemological impasse of the existing studies by focusing on the ontological aspects of strategic culture. This framework identifies the experience of warfare as the primary mechanism of change in strategic cultures.
The second key contribution of the study is to apply this analytical framework in the study of German strategic culture. The empirical case studies cover the German strategic cultural track record since the end of World War II, with a clear focus on the developments after the end of the Cold War. These case studies show, firstly, how shifts within the normative structure of German strategic culture have shaped German views on the use of military force, and, subsequently, how they led to shifts and changes in German strategic practices. Secondly, the case studies underline the role of external shocks (e.g. the massacre at Srebrenica) in triggering change within German strategic culture. Thirdly, the case studies also provide a basis for a critique of some of the more widely accepted claims regarding German security and defence policy, such as the notion of normalisation or Sonderweg (special path). Finally, the analysis also suggests that counterfactual argumentation can be a useful analytical tool in assessing the importance of some of these developments in the evolution of German strategic culture.
The third primary contribution of the study is a critical assessment of the process of coming to terms with the German past and…

▼ State responsibility is the doctrine that regulates international enforcement actions. Among international lawyers, there is a shared sense of mystery about State responsibility. While the doctrine clearly guarantees the enforceability of international law, its practice consistently languishes from a lack of international policemen. History is one lens through which to view this paradox. In this study, I describe the three most influential efforts to establish a legal standard for international enforcement actions: U.S. diplomatic practice, German legal theory and U.N. codification. In the late nineteenth century, lawyers in the U.S. State Department turned to international tribunals to redress alien injuries. These lawyers relied on international law to justify their legal intervention. Latin Americans, who were frequently the respondents of such claims, disputed the relevance of international law to its treatment of aliens; to them, alien protection was essentially a domestic affair. However, by the twentieth century, a U.S. practice of arbitration had established that States could be held responsible for breaching their international duties to protect aliens. The resulting awards were professional but haphazard. States were ordered to pay reparations for alien injuries, but why and how much they had to pay remained largely unarticulated. The first systematic treatment of State responsibility surfaced in late-nineteenth century Germany. These early writings were extrapolations from domestic principles of law rather than inductions of international awards. German lawyers viewed the U.S. practice of international arbitration as ad hoc settlements of private disputes rather than as the adjudication of public disputes. Thus, the German approach to State responsibility was not restricted to the field of alien protection in particular; it provide for the preconditions of international liability in general. When the U.N. undertook to codify the field, it chose to base its efforts on German theory rather than on the U.S. practice. This strategy divided State responsibility into general and specific parts. Generally, enforcement actions were subject to the U.N. doctrine. Exceptionally, a specific practice (e.g., alien protection) was permitted to continue as lex specialis. Contrary to many commentators, I see no crisis in this result. No singular doctrine has ever encapsulated the practice of international enforcement. Since the 1870s, international lawyers have employed State responsibility as a pliable concept to suit particular ends. By providing these perspectives, I hope to illustrate how three groups of lawyers practitioners, theorists and doctrinalists have been able to cope with the enduring mystery of State responsibility.
State responsibility is the doctrine that regulates international enforcement actions. Among international lawyers, there is a shared sense of mystery about State responsibility. While the doctrine clearly guarantees the enforceability of international law, its practice consistently…

▼ This dissertation analyses specific privacy problems arising from the surveillance of public spaces. It studies the scope and limitations of the human right to privacy and a right to personal data protection in light of advanced surveillance and security technologies. The main research question therefore asks how the existing European fundamental rights to privacy and data protection address increasing surveillance and the unprecedented surveillance capabilities of public spaces in Europe.
This study is divided into two main parts. After introducing the research problem and a descriptive discussion of existing and future surveillance technologies, the first part discusses the theoretical conceptions behind this research, namely the concept of public space, privacy, data protection and security. Part two of this study then discusses four more specific issues in relation to public space surveillance: Individually targeted surveillance, mass surveillance, surveillance done by private actors, automation of surveillance, and incident prediction.
In order to address the research question, this study analyses existing legislation, jurisprudence and specific cases. The overall framework for analyses is derived from a fictional urban surveillance scenario, representing a large European city. This surveillance scenario serves as an anchor point to identify central problems and issues for further fundamental rights based analyses. In that sense, this study uses legal and critical analyses of a specific scenario in order to identify existing, but also potential future legal problems arising from sophisticated public space surveillance.
This study consequently identifies several ways to address public space surveillance from a European fundamental rights perspective. The analyses of a right to privacy and a right to personal data protection show that the European system of fundamental rights protection is very well capable of addressing legal problems arising from public surveillance. However, there is a lack of available case law dealing with complex technological surveillance in Europe. This study therefore distils two main approaches for addressing public surveillance: The first approach is based on individual freedom, relying on the legitimate expectations of legal subjects, the second, which is derived from human dignity and personality rights, challenges the communal effects of surveillance. Each approach comes with a fundamentally opposite take on public surveillance. Furthermore, this study shows, how data protection functions as a gap-filler between the two approaches. In its conclusion, this study therefore illustrates several ways to address public space surveillance, and it shows that there is a series of legal problems arising from sophisticated technological surveillance, which require a reformulation of legal arguments addressing public place surveillance.

▼ The central contribution of this dissertation to political science is explaining the role of leadership survival theory in shaping the political process of initiation, broadening, deepening, and failure of economic integration agreements by nation states. The empirical research involves the creation of a dataset recording changes in economic integration for the period 1950-1999 and utilizing advanced quantitative methods to study the process. Most existing research focuses on the initiation of trade agreements. I demonstrate that the process of economic integration agreements among polities is shaped by iterated political interaction at both the domestic and international levels. The critical test in this research is the leadership survival prediction that as the number of people needed to keep a leader in office increases the incentives for pursuing public policies changes.

▼ The vote to leave the European Union by the United Kingdom was a shocking political event. Pollsters had predicted a slight edge for the Remain camp right up to the day of the referendum. After the votes had been counted it was discovered that a region that had historically backed the Labour Party, a strong supporter of Remain, had voted Leave. This region, the Midlands, had seen changing demographics due to migration within and outside of the EU. Consequently, the imagery of the 2015 Migrant Crisis that was published in the British media helped to increase anxieties over migration in this region. These media sources differed in their initial focus of the images of the early part of the crisis. This changed as the crisis continued and the migrants began to travel across multiple European borders. The tabloid newspaper the Daily Mail and The Guardian, a paper of record, are examples of this convergence that helped to exacerbate the immigration anxieties of the voters in the Midlands. This thesis will explain how the presentation of these images led to this region supporting the UKIP position of leaving the European Union.

▼ This thesis seeks to establish the concept of
jurisdiction as an analytical framework for conceptualising the
powers of
international organizations. The basic claim is that a
distinction ought to be drawn between the types of actions an
organization can take and the legal relationship between the
organization and the persons, objects and scenarios where it is
empowered to act. Existing scholarship focuses solely on the former
dimension whereas the latter, referred to as jurisdiction, is
underexplored. The thesis develops an analytical framework
comprised of elements which are essential components of
international jurisdiction. This framework is derived from the
reasoning of the PCIJ and the ICJ on
international organizations.
It identifies three foundational elements which are essential and
incommensurable: state consent, techniques of delimiting
jurisdiction and the compétence de la compétence principle. The
framework seeks to examine each of these elements individually, but
also to capture the dynamic between them. It is not claimed that
the distinction between the types of action and the relationship
between institution and objects; between jurisdiction and legal
powers, is always watertight. However, it is argued that
reconceptualising the ‘powers’ of organizations along the lines
advanced by this thesis is beneficial in two ways. First, it is
argued that the introduction of the concept into existing
constructions concerning legal powers adds nuance and subtlety,
therefore enhancing the ability of law to act as an effective
constraint upon
international organizations. Second, the concept of
jurisdiction offers fresh insights into complex questions of
contemporary global governance, in particular, the overlapping
competences of organizations.

▼ A firm's productivity is composed of two parts: pure technical change and location-specific (agglomeration) externalities. Regional productivity is thus an aggregation of productivity of firms producing similar goods and located in a given region.
International trade can affect both components of regional productivity. First, trade openness in a closed economy may alter its internal economic geography. Some regions which become more attractive to firms than before gain an advantage over others from integration into global markets. Second, as a competition pressure, trade liberalization forces the least productive firms to exit, resulting in the growth of aggregate productivity in the industry.
The three essays presented in this dissertation explore the relationship between
international trade and regional productivity in the presence of heterogeneous firms. In the first essay, a theoretical framework is introduced in order to describe how the above two channels, through which trade affects regional productivity, shape a country's spatial distribution of productivity. Results show that industries, each having its own cost-minimizing location, can be spatially relocated within a country via heterogeneous trade liberalization across industries. Moreover, trade intensifies localization for each industry since most firms in an industry move to or gather around their industry-specific cost-
minimizing location. The consequent clustering of firms generates additional localization economies. More importantly, the intensification of localization economies can slow or delay the selection process, i.e. exit of low productivity firms, following trade liberalization. These findings suggest that trade openness induces significant industrial and spatial dynamics (entry, exit and survival) within an economy.
The second and third essays are empirical tests on the second channel through which trade openness affects regional productivity using county-level data from Korea and firm-level data from India, respectively. In addition to trade liberalization, regional infrastructure is considered to be another competition pressure for domestic firms, i.e. improved infrastructure in a region induces a similar selection process among firms. These empirical essays investigate the effect of falling trade costs and improving domestic infrastructure on the regional variation of raw productivity using a common methodology. That is, a spatial econometric procedure is applied to a production function framework to estimate total factor productivity (TFP) by region and industry, while controlling for potential external and spatial effects. The mean and alternative percentiles of the regional raw productivity distribution are then specified as functions of
international and domestic competition indicators.
International competition is represented by trade costs, which are estimated as frictions in a gravity-type trade model, while road density is considered to capture the level of a region's infrastructure. In both Korea and India, it is found that…

▼ The study sought to determine the degree of importance of social needs of international students and the effectiveness in terms of the fulfillment of the services designed to meet their social needs as reported by the students and the members of the International Task Force at a university in South Texas. The study was quantitative with a qualitative component that was used to obtain the perspectives of international students and the International Task Force related to the levels of importance and fulfillment in the quantitative component.
Quantitative data analysis demonstrated that both groups rated the importance of needs higher than the degree to which they were fulfilled. The students rated the majority of the social needs items at a higher level of importance and fulfillment than did the International Task Force. There was not a statistically significant difference between the two groups on importance, but there was a statistically significant difference on the levels of fulfillment. Data analysis of the international student focus group and the International Task Force focus groups yielded two themes: navigational barriers of informal structure of social needs in academia and navigational barriers of formal structure of social needs in academia.

▼ Relations among China, the United States, and Japan constitute some of the most complicated and dynamic relations in the contemporary era. Since the end of the second half of the twentieth century, all three nations, which were not in favor of regional multilateralism, have changed their strategy and have actively engaged in regional Asia-Pacific institutions. This research attempts to integrate realist discourse on the balance of power and liberal analysis of institutions to look at the China–U.S.–Japan interactions within regional institutions. This study explores why China, the United States, and Japan have increased their cooperative interaction in regional institutions in the Asia-Pacific region, despite having divergent interests and different visions of the future regional power structure.
By searching and analyzing archives documenting China–U.S.–Japan regional policies and policies directed at regional institutions and observing in detail China– U.S.–Japan interactions within Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), this dissertation argues that institutional balancing provides a framework that helps identify countries’ overlooked intention to check and balance targeted powers in regional institutions. Regional institutions not only provide an opportunity for participant countries to discover and address common interests but also provide an opportunity for participant countries to lobby for their own interests and to balance the gains and influences of the other powers. This dissertation explores conditions under which institutional balancing is an optimal choice for countries and notes key methods: controlling membership; shaping institutional norms, rules, and mechanisms; and pursuing balanced alliances that have been practiced by China, the United States, and Japan in regional institutions in the Asia-Pacific region.

▼ My dissertation consists of three papers on international finance, international economics, and labor economics. The first paper develops a stochastic general equilibrium model to understand the effects of default risk on output, consumption, investment, and current account deficits in emerging markets. The second paper studies how market structure affects exchange-rate pass-through. This analysis is empirical as well as theoretical, using a partial equilibrium model. The third paper develops a model to study relative wages across different educational levels in developed countries.
The model in my first paper features endogenous default risk. Its calibration results explain a number of important stylized facts about emerging economies, including the negative correlation between investment and net exports, the procyclicality of investment, and the potential for current account reversals.
The second paper compares exchange-rate pass-through under perfect competition and oligopoly, showing that the two different market structures have opposite effects on this currency pricing behavior. The paper's empirical test, whether implemented on the basis of a partial equilibrium framework or on the model's general equilibrium framework, finds support for perfect competition.
The third paper uses differences within and across industries m education wage premiums to study factors affecting those premiums. The paper begins by showing that within-industry as opposed to cross-industry educational wage premiums explain most of developed country differences in wages by education. It then develops a theoretical model and an empirical testing strategy, using U.S. and Japanese data, to examine whether the use of IT capital and the decision to outsource affect the education-wage premium. The answer is mixed depending on the country in question.

▼ This thesis addresses the broad research problem “How do entrepreneurs identify business opportunities internationally?” The study conceptualised a theoretical framework for explaining the
international opportunity identification (IOI) behaviour of entrepreneurs and explored this behaviour empirically in the Australian context. This study has advanced the existing body of knowledge in
international entrepreneurship. This is a relatively new field of study that emerged in the mid 1990’s in response to the appearance of new patterns in the internationalisation behaviour of entrepreneurial new ventures and the growing importance to the survival, growth and sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises of integration into
international markets. The literature acknowledges the defining role of an individual entrepreneur in the overall strategic direction and internationalisation efforts of these enterprises (e.g., Andersson, 2000; Madsen & Servais, 1997). However, little is known about the behaviour of individual entrepreneurs that leads to internationalisation of a firm. The mainstream entrepreneurship literature advocates that it is the ability to identify business opportunities that distinguishes entrepreneurs from non-entrepreneurs (Shane & Venkataraman, 2000). By extension, it is the ability to identify
international business opportunities that distinguishes entrepreneurs who venture their businesses across national borders. Despite the centrality of the opportunity theme to
international entrepreneurship research (Oviatt & McDougall, 2005a), this phenomenon is still under-researched and requires theory-building. To address this gap, the current study adopted a multidisciplinary perspective, an approach recommended by scholars that uses existing theories from more mature disciplines in order to advance a relatively new field of academic inquiry (Buckley, 2002; Jones & Coviello, 2005; Ireland & Webb, 2007; Zahra et al. 2005). The study is grounded in the theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1991) and social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1997). It also leverages mainstream entrepreneurship research on opportunity identification,
international business studies of personal variables relevant to the process of internationalisation of a firm and cross-cultural psychology studies of individual responses to cultural differences. The literature review identified a number of gaps in our understanding of how individual entrepreneurs identify
international opportunities. To address these gaps, five research questions were formulated for this thesis. The limited understanding of IOI in the extant literature required an exploratory in-depth investigation. Therefore, the study adopted a qualitative research method and a case study technique. The research is based on seven case studies of Australian entrepreneurs. In contributing to the theory of
international entrepreneurship, this study has improved our understanding of the process of IOI; established the role of cognitive properties, cognitive activities, networking capability…

▼ NATO’s military intervention in response to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia’s violation of human rights was illegal because it neither received the blessing of the Security Council nor was it justified under the rules of self-defense. This interdisciplinary research employs a rational choice approach to international law in order to understand the limits as well as the effects of international law during the Kosovo War in 1999. International law lacked any intrinsic importance within the utilitarian calculus of political decision-making during NATO’s intervention in 1999. After explaining a rational choice theory approach, this dissertation proceeds in the second chapter in order to outline the theoretical argument of jus ad bellum rules embodied in Article 2(4) of the United Nations Charter. In this chapter, I introduce three ways of thinking about compliance with the use of force in international law that will help us better understand why nations did not conform to the use of force rules embodied in the UN Charter. The third chapter presents and criticizes the threats of force. International lawyers and the International Court of Justice have concluded that a threat of force is illegal if the use of force followed by a threat did not receive Security Council authorization nor was it justified under self-defense. In contrast to these arguments, by using the logic of strategic literature and game theory, this chapter proposes that threats of force are sui generis and should be treated separately from the use of force rules. Moreover, this chapter shows that military threats can be powerful instruments of coercion and can serve a useful purpose in the crises because they may mitigate the risk of war. Therefore, credible and capable threats should be permitted under international law since they can reduce the likelihood that the confrontation will end in war and therefore, the purpose of the U.N. Charter “to maintain peace and security” can be achieved. The fourth chapter analyzes customary international law and it has developed two major claims. First, I argue that only the objective element, a state practice, should be considered relevant for establishing customary international law and opinio juris should not be regarded as a necessary requirement because it is a costless signal. Hence, by using logic of the “cheap talk” and signaling games, I suggest that the International Court of Justice should take into consideration only physical acts as a constitutive element of customary international law. My second argument is related to the compliance with customary international law. While international lawyers who use rational choice theory believe that customary international law refers to patterns of cooperative behavior since it requires widespread repetition of similar international acts over time by states and therefore states may build a negative reputation for non-compliance, this chapter argues that the “shadow of future” doctrine cannot be applied to peremptory norms, such as the prohibition of aggressive…

▼ This dissertation focuses on the role of non-state actors in international lawmaking and institutions. People increasingly participate in international governance through a range of organizations and institutions yet their access remains contested and tentative; often described as an accommodation but not a right. Citizens may be sovereign at home, but they lack standing at international law. I examined multiple cases where participation has become part of the machinery of international lawmaking - from regional agreements in Europe and the Americas to global accords addressing climate change. Each case shows the assertion of popular will within a governance framework constructed and managed by states. My findings thus reveal a paradigm of state architects and executors that accommodates non-state actors as collaborators and animators. This paradigm challenges the idea that state sovereignty is absolute and impervious without rejecting state dominion outright. Within a broader scholarly discourse that often presents a binary choice - either states are sovereign (leaving people with no real place in international lawmaking) or people are sovereign (leaving the international system assailable for its conspicuous democracy deficit) - my findings suggest a hybrid approach that reinforces the authority of states while making meaningful space for non-state actors. International governance thus gains some of the value of democratic, participatory models in a way that enhances rather than disrupts the existing international legal system.

Why Surrender Sovereignty? Empowering Non-State Actors to Protect the Status Quo.

▼ Why do states create new judicial tools that severely limit or altogether undermine their sovereignty? Why do some states choose, moreover, to become leading innovators, adopting these new types of enforcement mechanisms significantly earlier than their peers? This dissertation focuses on the creation of investor-state arbitration provisions in Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) and the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC), especially its independent prosecutor provision. For all their differences, investor-state arbitration provisions and the ICC share three institutional features that, in combination, pose unprecedented constraints on state sovereignty: they are judicial, they entail compulsory jurisdiction, and they grant non-state actors - private investors or an independent prosecutor - the authority to initiate legal proceedings against states and state officials.
The introduction of transnational and supranational judicial mechanisms is a strategy of the strong, not the weak. Contingent on the mobilization of transnational advocacy networks, powerful states turn to sovereignty-constraining tools in response to two core features: an international legal crisis and a relatively empty international judicial landscape. In the aftermath of legal crisis, the creation of sovereignty-constraining tools helps powerful states both to increase the efficacy of legal rules that have been challenged and to validate the authority of legal rules that have been undermined. This argument is counter-intuitive: powerful states turn to costly new judicial mechanisms not to transform but to protect the status quo. To advance this claim I examine both failed and successful attempts at creating novel judicial mechanisms in investment and international criminal law across the twentieth century. I use qualitative and historical analysis at the global level and statistical cross-national analysis at the state level.
In the case of BITs, developing countries in the 1970s expropriated foreign property on a large scale and challenged traditional investment rules in the United Nations, thus triggering a crisis for the investment regime. In response, powerful states turned to investor-state arbitration provisions, not simply the BITs themselves, as a strategy to protect the existing regime. In the case of the ICC, Nazi Germany's territorial aggression and the 1990s mass atrocities in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda prompted legal crises for the territorial integrity principle and the human rights regime respectively. Seeking to bolster territoriality and human rights, powerful states experimented with the establishment of a criminal court. They failed in the 1950s and succeeded in the 1990s.
Transnational Advocacy Networks (TANs) were of critical importance. Their interactions with states were reciprocal and strategic. TANs invented and promoted the two forms of judicial mechanisms at the global level, thus influencing state receptivity; they also molded their strategies and substantive goals to suit…

▼ My dissertation encompasses three different topics on empirical
international trade and migration. The first chapter investigates the short run effects of regional trade agreements on trade costs. It is widely accepted that the reinforcement of Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs) aiming at trade costs reduction among trade partners requires time. This paper investigates the effects of RTAs on trade costs over time by using unique micro-price data. We confirm that having an RTA on average lowers trade costs significantly. Furthermore, data shows significant and negative effects of RTAs on trade costs over time. Specifically, besides the initial impact on trade costs, having an RTA continuously lower trade costs every year after the commencement of the RTA.
The second chapter decomposes the overall effects of gravity variables on trade through three gravity channels: duties/tariffs (DC), transportation-costs (TC), and dyadic-preferences (PC). Compared to the existing literature, additional channel of PC is introduced and shown to dominate the other two channels, with adjacency contributing about 45 percent, distance about 32 percent, colony about 14 percent, free trade agreements about 7 percent, and language about 2 percent. The results imply that gravity variables mainly capture the effects of demand shifters rather than supply shifters (as implied by the existing literature).
The third chapter utilizes an immigration inflow data set from OECD countries during the period of 1984 to 2015 to shed light on how institutional quality affects the immigration rate. With the analysis in the fixed-effects framework, we construct a set of country-time specific institutional quality indexes to examine their effects on the immigration rate. The paper shows that other than the network effects, GDP difference, and migration costs, institutional qualities in both destination and source countries matter when it comes to potential migration decisions. Specifically, better socioeconomic conditions in the destination countries, and worse foreign debt, budget balance, government stability, internal conflicts, and corruption conditions in the source countries increase the immigration inflow.

▼ This thesis is concerned with varying rates (i.e. speeds) of system dissolution in the international monetary domain. International monetary systems, such as the gold-dollar system and inter-war order, often suddenly and unexpectedly collapse. Yet other monetary orders, such as the Sterling Area and the long-forgotten Latin Monetary Union, for no less obscure reasons, have declined gradually. The puzzle is why. I begin by taking seriously the initial conditions that give rise to international monetary systems, for those historical conditions shape the modalities of leadership and political conflicts that drive systems towards particular kinds of ends. In this context, I draw on the classical distinction between spontaneous and negotiated orders. Whereas spontaneous orders emerge around natural processes of trade and financial integration, without any conscious act of creation, negotiated orders emerge through deliberate and directed action. The study breaks with traditional understandings, however, in arguing that the most important legacy of these historical processes is not that spontaneous orders are decentralised while negotiated ones are hierarchical. In fact, all international monetary systems exhibit a strongly hierarchical character. Instead, I highlight, on the one hand, the centrality of collective institutionalised bargaining between integrated national monetary agencies (i.e., treasuries and central bank officials) in negotiated systems and, on the other, the absence of collective institutional bargaining in more atomised spontaneous systems. This structural distinction is the key legacy of the different historical processes of negotiated and spontaneous system formation. Contrary to conventional wisdom and intuition, I argue that spontaneous systems - plagued by non-association and lacking ready mechanisms of directed adjustment - establish the conditions for slow decline, while negotiated systems - geared to withstand economic and social change through institutionalised collective bargaining and concerted adjustment - establish the conditions for rapid collapse. My framework treats the ultimate unit of analysis as the policy choices made by leaders confronting problems. Specifically, the analysis logically deduces two distinct modalities of leadership that emerge as structural variables interact with political conflicts over preferred policy solutions. I label these modes of action appropriative and exclusory leadership. Appropriative leadership involves coopting administrative resources by negotiating with members of monetary institutions to meet problems. Exclusory leadership is geared towards retaining the non-trivial advantages that flow from not having to bargain over the terms of continuation. Under both modalities, leaders exploit their strategic position, distorting information and manipulating costs and benefits to promote their particular interests and goals. Both modalities involve tensions between leadership and membership interests and challenges to systems optimisation. But appropriative…

▼ The increased outsourcing of many traditionally military functions, together with the
fact that
international armed conflicts are increasingly being fought in predominantly
civilian locations, is contesting the
international humanitarian law (IHL) presumption
that civilians are necessarily non-participatory spectators in the theatre of war. The
legal lacunae which surrounds non-State actors like: private military and security
contractors (PMSCs), under-aged child soldiers, voluntary human shields (VHSs),
relief workers and journalists, is complicating the legal assessment of their primary
IHL status, obscuring crucial determinations around whether their actions amount to
direct participation in hostilities, and confounding certainty around the legal regime
applicable to them upon capture. Through critical analysis of customary and treaty
based IHL, this project explores the primary IHL status of each of these types of
non-State actors. Thereafter it seeks, through practical application of the ICRC’s
Interpretive Guide on the Notion of Direct Participation in Hostilities, to draw specific
conclusions on the range of activities that might compromise their civilian immunity
against direct targeting. In the final analysis the study concludes that engaging in
combat functions, operating weapons systems, participating in direct support
functions, conducting training for predetermined hostile acts, sabotaging military
capacity, guarding captured military personnel, gathering intelligence for use in
marking targets, divulging tactical information or acting as a lookout will amount to
direct participation in hostilities. Through similar investigation, the study concludes
that mere interference, defensive guarding or shielding of civilian or other dual-use
sites, and the defense of military installations against criminal elements, fails to rise
to the threshold required to compromise a civilian non-State actor’s immunity
against attack. While dispelling the misconception that civilian status itself can be
legally forfeited, the project explores the practical legal consequences of civilian
direct participation in hostilities: including legitimate direct targeting of these non-
State actors for so long as their participation or membership of the combative group
persist, and their criminal prosecution upon capture.

▼ This study contributes to body of research that tests the effect of mobile phone signal coverage on the probability of violent collective action by shifting the level of analysis to a single country—Myanmar. The analysis uses a random effects logistic model of time-series cross-sectional data to test whether mobile phone availability has a significant effect on the probability of conflict among ethnic groups given their spatial and non-spatial characteristics, including: population density, territory type, and political and religious status. This study presents a nuanced, historical view of Myanmar and explores how future levels of conflict could change with the expansion of information and communications technology (ICT). While the findings are exploratory and preliminary, as mobile coverage data across a wider timeframe becomes available for Myanmar, these tests can be easily replicated to achieve more robust and statistically significant results.

▼ This dissertation offers an explanation of contemporary bilateral relations of India and Pakistan in the context of the Kashmir conflict. Looking at the historical background of the conflict, it explains how the Kashmir conflict has become a thorn in the bilateral relations of India and Pakistan. Through an examination of the Indian-Pakistan peace process, I suggest why the Kashmir conflict still defies a solution. I analyse the self-help measures undertaken by both countries and assess the prospect for a future war in the region. By examining the regime types, institutional mistrust, and the economic co-operation and competition of both countries, I explore the nature of the bilateral relationship and its impact on the South Asian region. I specifically assess the possible negotiated solution to the Kashmir conflict. Finally I argue that as long as both India and Pakistan cling to their historically-entrenched positions, there is hardly any chance for permanent peace in Kashmir, thereby complicating their strategic stance in the region.
I draw upon the theories of Neo-Realism and Neo-Liberalism to explain outcomes towards peace initiatives between India and Pakistan, and the implications for South Asia. I choose three specific concepts advanced by neo-realists and neo-liberal theorists to explore and explain the three principles of this study: the Balance of Power, Security and Economic Co-operation.
Institutional mistrust, different regime types, competition in non-traditional areas, continuing insurgency, has delayed a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir conflict. After the Mumbai attack, India has diverted more national resources into fighting terrorism. Continuing border clashes, the nuclear arms race, and terrorism have heightened the tension on the subcontinent, despite the talk of resuming the dialogue in 2011. It also affects the efforts of improving economic and trade relations between both countries that would have led to more co-operative postures between both countries and for South Asia. Of equal importance is the continuous rivalry with a much smaller power, Pakistan, and over Afganistan is a bane to peace initiative. However, this dissertation ultimately makes some policy recommendations.

▼ South Africa was said to have been overtaken by Nigeria as the biggest economy in Africa in April 2014. This study looks at how this will affect the newly crowned biggest economy and the recently dethroned second biggest economy in the African continent. The fact that Nigeria is the biggest oil producer in the continent and South Africa the biggest gold and platinum producer in the world makes for an interesting observation and comparison. Both countries are important in the
international arena. South Africa is a member of an influential grouping of leading developing countries, BRICS which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. On the other hand Nigeria is a member of the influential oil grouping, OPEC.
The type of research the study undertook fell within the qualitative paradigm. This paradigm was chosen merely because the study was mostly desktop based. Secondary data was generated through books, journal articles, newspapers and internet resources. The relevant theory chosen to guide the study was the comparative advantage theory which looks at the goods that both countries produce and that have made them powers to be reckoned with in the continent when it came to trading and other areas.
The study revealed that although Nigeria is now the biggest economy in Africa but this does not mean it will outrank South Africa in most meaningful economic measures outside the GDP size. However if South Africa’s economy continues to struggle Nigeria’s economy will not only be bigger in terms of GDP size but will also improve in other economic areas as well. It has also been revealed that although South Africa is a politically stable country compared to Nigeria, which is struggling to contain Islamic militant group, Boko Haram, intermittent strikes, high levels of crime, corruption and electricity outages do their level best to ensure that the country suffers from fragile instability. Based on these findings the study proposes that both countries need to be vigilant and take precautionary measures in order to protect their continental and
international image.

▼ The dissertation explores two key issues in
international nance: the liberalization of the
national stock markets and the protection of the minority shareholders. In the rst essay
we document that both political and economic factors in uence the government's decision
whether and when to allow foreign investors to purchase domestic equity securities. Among
the economic factors, the level of nancial development, the structure of the economy, the
level of investor protection, and the level of the government's involvement in the economy are
signi cant determinants of the stock market liberalization decision. The signi cant political
factors include the government's political orientation and the in uence of foreign governments
and agencies through the allocation of foreign nancial aid. In the second essay we examine
the e ect of the presence of the government as a minority shareholder on the protection of
the minority shareholders in privatized rms. Consistent with the government's incentive
to foster security market development and to enlist the support of the median-class voters
for the privatization process we nd that the government e ectively monitors the controlling
shareholders in the newly privatized rms and curbs their ability to expropriate the minority
shareholders.

▼ The role of domestic economic activity as a motivator toward state conflict has long assumed a secondary position to the more tangible instruments of state power. Domestic manipulations of the money supply have rarely been discussed in conjunction with interstate behavior. The purpose of this paper is to bridge the gap between inflation and aggression. First, this paper will lay the theoretical framework connecting changes in the money supply to a state’s propensity to initiate hostility. Secondly will follow a discussion of the mechanisms by which a state engages in this behavior. Finally, data collected from a thirty year period in the twentieth century will be tested to determine the explanatory power of inflation on the likelihood of a state to initiate conflict.

▼ This paper examines the micro-foundations of the domestic sources of compliance with
international agreements, specifically Article 8 of the IMF Articles of Agreement. While global economic interdependence increases formalized cooperation between states, domestic resistance against negative impacts of
international agreements may also raise the pressure on governments to not comply. Based on findings from experiments in behavioral economics, I argue that social global integration can alleviate this pressure towards non-compliance. More integrated domestic audiences develop a higher propensity toward cooperation and are less likely to tolerate non-compliant decisions by their governments. I test this hypothesis with a recent dataset that captures the social dimension of globalization and apply it to data from 27 years of Article 8 commitments. The analysis shows that democracies with higher levels of
international interactions between domestic societies display significantly lower rates of non-compliance with Article 8, even in adversary conditions.

The impact of international conflict on democracy: identifying the reversed causation of democratic peace.

▼ The relationship between regime type and
international conflict has been one of the most prolific research topics in contemporary scholarship of
international relations (IR). The research has mainly focused on uncovering the pacifying effect of democracy, which is commonly called democratic peace. However, the reversed thesis of democratic peace, that is, the argument that peace causes democracy rather than vice versa, has been given far less attention despite the monumental implications the theory holds for both theory and policy. In this context, this study aims to examine whether or not, and to what extent, peace causes democracy, or conversely,
international conflict undermines democracy.
This study purports to demonstrate that, under some conditions,
international conflict is likely to have a negative influence on democracy and/or democratic development, arguing that the existing research fails to appropriately specify the conditions under which
international conflict has significant influence on democracy. Furthermore, the purpose of the study is to examine the hypothesis that power plays a crucial role as an intervening variable in democratic development because the perception of external threat caused by
international conflict is mediated by the power statuses of the states involved.
When it comes to empirical analyses, this study employs both statistical and case study methodologies with the aim of enhancing the purview of the analysis. The statistical analyses find: 1) perceived external threat has a negative impact on democracy; 2) involvement in
international conflict has negative influence on democracy-particularly for weak and less democratic states; and 3) national defensive power is positively associated with democracy. The findings of the statistical analyses are strengthened by the case study in which the democratization of South Korea is investigated. The examination of the case of South Korea’s democratization shows: 1) the Korean War undermined the democratic development of South Korea by way of intensifying external threat perception among the South Korean people; and 2) South Korea was finally democratized only after it was freed from external threat posed by the North with its improved economic and military capability.
From the theoretical standpoint, the current study proposes that research related to democratic peace is incomplete until it takes reversed causation into consideration. This study also suggests that
international relations and comparative politics, which have been treated as separate research areas, can be understood as having an important common ground within the study of political science. Specifically, this study suggests that variables related to
international security have a significant impact on domestic political processes such as democracy and/or democratization. In this sense, this study supports the “second image reversed” thesis. From a practical standpoint, this study implies that the current U.S. foreign policy centering on “proliferation of democracy” should…
