OUT NOW - A Research Agenda for Military Law

Edited by @paulducheine.bsky.social, Terry D. Gill, Peter B.M.J. Pijpers and Marten Zwanenburg

This Open Access title is free to read and download on Elgaronline: doi.org/10.4337/9781...

Also available in print: www.e-elgar.com/shop/isbn/97...
This prescient Research Agenda sheds light on current and expected developments of military law. It provides expert guidance on the application of international law to military operations and assesses new challenges such as AI, hybrid warfare and the militarization of outer space. Using legal doctrinal and analytical methods, leading scholars and practitioners in the field survey the current legal landscape, providing a forward-looking analysis of emerging issues and future research. The book examines how international law regulates the use and application of armed force or coercive measures by the armed forces of States and other international actors in an armed conflict or in a ‘grey zone’ pre-conflict setting. Chapters interrogate the functions and rules of the different bodies of international law that govern the conduct of warfare. They also indicate where fault lines lie, and explore how developments in technology and the strategic environment can affect how the law is interpreted and applied.

Out now: Remedies in Intellectual Property Law
Thomas F. Cotter, University of Minnesota, US

Free - read the Preface and Chapter 1 | Introduction to the law of intellectual property remedies: doi.org/10.4337/9781...

Available in print through our website: www.e-elgar.com/shop/isbn/97...
Courts throughout the world must devote increasing attention to disputes involving patents, copyrights, trademarks, and other types of intellectual property (IP). This book provides a comprehensive overview of the remedies available for the infringement of IP rights, with particular attention to the world’s leading jurisdictions for infringement litigation. Thomas Cotter – one of the world’s leading experts on remedies for the infringement of IP rights – provides a detailed account of how courts within the U.S., the EU, Asia, and the Commonwealth of Nations address issues such as the standards for awarding preliminary and permanent injunctions; the calculation of lost profits and reasonable royalties; and the availability of other forms of relief including disgorgement of the infringer's profits, punitive and statutory damages, and criminal penalties. Up-to-date and comparative in scope, the book also calls attention to recent developments including global FRAND disputes, the Unified Patent Court, awards of extraterritorial damages, and more. Remedies in Intellectual Property Law is an essential resource for students and academics with an interest in IP law and litigation. It also provides a valuable resource for lawyers and clients involved in IP disputes, as well as for judges and policymakers tasked with applying, adapting, or extending existing law to new developments in technology, commerce, the arts, and entertainment.

Out now: International Law and Architecture
Edited by @renskevos.bsky.social, @sofiastolk.bsky.social and @miriambakmck.bsky.social

Free - read the Introduction on Elgaronline: doi.org/10.4337/9781...

Available in print through our website: www.e-elgar.com/shop/isbn/97...
Through eye-catching design or bureaucratic functionality, buildings make international law tangible for its practitioners, audiences and constituencies. This compelling book furthers our understanding of the impact of architecture on the field of international law with imagination and style. Chapters engage with questions surrounding the relationship between architecture and identity construction, public reception, (de)colonial ordering, affect and spatial politics. Offering a range of perspectives on the role of architecture in shaping international law, the impressive group of contributors set out a new transdisciplinary enquiry into law, space, and aesthetics. The book highlights how the material, visual, and spatial realms influence international law’s norms, values, histories, as well as our individual experiences and expectations of the law.
