This sixth volume (2015) of the European Yearbook of International Economic Law puts a particular emphasis on non-tariff barriers (NTBs) to trade and the world trade order. With the steady reduction of tariff rates since the GATT 47 came into force, focus in recent years has been on the vast and complex landscape of non-tariff barriers to trade. States as well as scholars seemingly struggle with the multitude of measures pooled under this expression as there is no single, acknowledged definition of the term, and its relation to the term “non-tariff measures” remains equally blurred. Particularly in practice and on a multilateral level, there appears to be some awkwardness when it comes to coping with NTBs since multilateral trade rules seem to be in conflict with national regulatory autonomy in the pursuit of policy objectives. In part one, this volume sheds light on the problems of non-tariff barriers to trade that arise in various fields. Part two focuses on regional integration with an emphasis on relations between East Asia and the European Union. In this regard, the authors outline the trade and investment relations between the European Union and East Asia, including Japan, Korea and Singapore. Part three offers an overview of recent institutional developments in WIPO, ICSID, WTO and WTO jurisprudence. Part four includes book reviews of recent works in the field of international economic law, and part five introduces a new section on publications in the field of international economic law that were released in 2013 and 2014.

Presenting a sweeping analysis of the legal foundations, institutions, and substantive legal issues in EU monetary integration, The EU Law of Economic and Monetary Union serves as an authoritative reference on the legal framework of European economic and monetary union. The book opens by setting out the broader contexts for the European project - historical, economic, political, and regarding the international framework. It goes on to examine the constitutional architecture of EMU; the main institutions and their legal powers; the core legal provisions of monetary and economic union; and the relationship of EMU with EU financial market and banking regulation. The concluding section analyses the current EMU crisis and the main avenues of future reform.

Das Bundesverfassungsgericht hat mit seinem Urteil zur Online-Durchsuchung am 27. Februar 2008 für einen «Paukenschlag» gesorgt. Rund 25 Jahre nach dem Volkszählungsurteil wurde erstmals wieder ein neues Grundrecht durch das höchste deutsche Gericht begründet. Das Grundrecht auf Gewährleistung der Vertraulichkeit und Integrität informationstechnischer Systeme soll im Zeitalter der digitalisierten Welt einen umfassenden Schutz für die Nutzer der Informationstechnik gewährleisten. Der Autor untersucht das neue Grundrecht unter verschiedenen Gesichtspunkten. Zunächst wird die Entstehungsgeschichte unter Einbeziehung des BVerfG-Urteils beschrieben. Anschließend werden die unmittelbaren Konsequenzen der Entscheidung für das Nachrichtendienst-, Polizei- und Strafprozessrecht dargestellt. Besonderes Augenmerk wird zudem auf die Konkretisierung der neuen grundrechtlichen Gewährleistung gelegt. Anhand der Untersuchung von Ermächtigungsgrundlagen zur Online-Durchsuchung für das Bundeskriminalamt und die bayerischen Sicherheitsbehörden werden die vorher erarbeiteten verfassungsrechtlichen Grundvoraussetzungen praktisch angewendet. Abschließend werden Perspektiven für das neue Grundrecht im Zivil- und Strafrecht aufgezeigt.

The 18th CIRP International Conference on Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) 2011 continues a long tradition of scientific meetings focusing on the exchange of industrial and academic knowledge and experiences in life cycle assessment, product development, sustainable manufacturing and end-of-life-management. The theme “Glocalized Solutions for Sustainability in Manufacturing” addresses the need for engineers to develop solutions which have the potential to address global challenges by providing products, services and processes taking into account local capabilities and constraints to achieve an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable society in a global perspective. Glocalized Solutions for Sustainability in Manufacturing do not only involve products or services that are changed for a local market by simple substitution or the omitting of functions. Products and services need to be addressed that ensure a high standard of living everywhere. Resources required for manufacturing and use of such products are limited and not evenly distributed in the world. Locally available resources, local capabilities as well as local constraints have to be drivers for product- and process innovations with respect to the entire life cycle. The 18th CIRP International Conference on Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) 2011 serves as a platform for the discussion of the resulting challenges and the collaborative development of new scientific ideas.

Dem Design kommt auch im Industriegüterbereich eine wichtige Bedeutung zu. Denn das Design von Produkten beeinflusst den Umsatz von Industrieunternehmen, beispielsweise über die Qualitätswahrnehmung oder die Markenstärke. Das Buch setzt genau an diesen Herausforderungen an und zeigt Wege für ein neuartiges, strategisch orientiertes Designverständnis in Industrieunternehmen. Dabei werden Methoden, Instrumente und Verfahren vorgestellt, mit denen Praktiker ein strategisches Industriegüterdesign im eigenen Unternehmen umsetzen können.

Strategisches Industriegüterdesign

Die gemeinsame Handelspolitik (GHP) der Europäischen Union (EU) rückte zuletzt immer häufiger in den Mittelpunkt medialer Aufmerksamkeit. Der vorliegende Tagungsband setzt eine Reihe GHP-bezogener Bände fort und geht der Frage nach, inwieweit die GHP nach den umfangreichen Reformen im Rahmen des Vertrags von Lissabon einen geeigneten verfassungsrechtlichen Rahmen für die internationale Handelspolitik im 21. Jahrhundert bildet. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass die Konstitutionalisierung der GHP durch den Vertrag von Lissabon eher asymmetrische Züge aufweist: Während die demokratische Rückbindung massiv ausgeweitet wurde, führt u. a. die fortgesetzte Ablehnung einer unmittelbaren Wirkung von Handelsabkommen zu einer Schwächung rechtsstaatlicher Elemente. Das entspricht dem Trend einer allgemein stärkeren Betonung national-staatlicher Souveränitätsrechte rund um den Globus, stellt aus verfassungsrechtlicher Perspektive gleichwohl einen Rückschritt oder zumindest das Fehlen von Fortschritt dar.

After the IPS2 conferences in Cranfield and Linköping in 2009 and 2010 the 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems (IPS2) 2011 takes place in Braunschweig, Germany. IPS2 itself is defined as “an integrated industrial product and service offering that delivers value in use”. The customers expect comprehensive solutions, which are adapted to their individual needs. IPS2 offers the possibility to stand out from competition and for long-term customer loyalty. Particularly in times of economic crisis it becomes apparent which producing companies understand to satisfy the needs and requirements of their customers. Especially in this relatively new domain IPS2 it will be important to keep track of the whole context and to seek cooperation with other research fields and disciplines. The 3rd CIRP International Conference on Industrial Product Service Systems (IPS2) 2011 serves as a platform for such collaborations and the discussion of new scientific ideas.
