This study aims to help clarifying the present discourse on sustainable procurement, with particular attention to international cooperation programs in developing countries. How is sustainable procurement understood from the side of practitioners within the sector of development cooperation? Do they share a homogeneous understanding of what it is, what are its effects, and what should be done of it, or do they rather hold contrasting views? In order to answer these questions, the present study employs a Q methodology for identifying different viewpoints that practitioners of development cooperation hold about this topic. The findings of this study bear some relevance for the design and implementation of policies that are intended to stimulate the adoption of sustainable procurement, especially within international cooperation programs in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":179080,"journal":{"name":"PSN: International Cooperation (Topic)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127979657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specific provisions of the CC-FIPA are compared with Canada’s Model Foreign Investment Protection Agreement (FIPA) to determine what is unique about this Agreement in particular. These provisions are briefly explained and contextualized by drawing on major cases from investor state arbitration under NAFTA as well as the International Convention to Investor State Dispute (ICSID). This essay concludes by analyzing the Agreement and addressing some of its major criticisms; here particular focus will be directed towards Canadian and Chinese regulatory power, legal risk, and the unique exemptions that Canada retains under the Agreement.","PeriodicalId":179080,"journal":{"name":"PSN: International Cooperation (Topic)","volume":"15 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113975698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Future of the EU's Security Role in a Transformed East Asia","authors":"Mason Richey, Daewon Ohn","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2109208","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2109208","url":null,"abstract":"This paper starts by arguing that the European Union (EU) had only a very limited role in post-WWII East Asian security because of (1) great power dominance in the region and (2) numerous weaknesses internal to the EU. However, we claim that despite current difficulties the EU’s 'capabilities-expectation gap' is being overcome as the East Asian region is entering a transformation stage. Furthermore, we argue that the EU will continue to strengthen and that its security role in East Asia will increase in the future. The result will likely be that the Union, along with allies, will emerge as a more important actor in some critical regional security issues, including sea-lane protection and the North Korean situation. First, we employ Power Transition Theory to discuss the changing regional power structure - conditioned by the relative decline of U.S. dominance vis-a-vis China - which provides opportunities for the EU to involve itself in East Asian security affairs. We focus particularly on the EU’s ability to promote East Asian regionalization. Second, we show that institutionally the EU is approaching a position wherein it can make greater (although limited) CFSP/CSDP engagements, especially via cooperation with the U.S. and some regionally important countries in East Asia. Moreover, its growing interests in East Asia will compel it to develop a more unified will to use its CFSP/CSDP instruments - in particular those associated with peace-keeping/peace-making and humanitarian operations - and overcome the capabilities-expectation gap.","PeriodicalId":179080,"journal":{"name":"PSN: International Cooperation (Topic)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130510494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The obvious place to look – recent price inflation in United States – fails however to provide the answer. We argue that the driving force is a broad trend to monetize gold internationally, a trend that would naturally lead to a renewal of a gold standard. If so, we can expect a dynamic transition as gold replaces dollars as the world monetary base. We fix then on the main features of the transition, on the advantages and disadvantages of a gold standard. Lastly, from this perspective we suggest that it would be better for the world to reformulate Bretton Woods, straightforwardly recreating its two-track approach that combined the discipline of a gold standard with the discretionary management by monetary authorities, a modern Friedmanite combination.","PeriodicalId":179080,"journal":{"name":"PSN: International Cooperation (Topic)","volume":"522 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132824997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schneider, Johannes Urpelainen","doi":"10.1111/ISQU.12024","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/ISQU.12024","url":null,"abstract":"Why do states ratify international treaties? While previous research has emphasized domestic political factors, we focus on power politics in situations in which powerful states disagree on the merits of a treaty. We argue that states supporting the status quo should discourage third parties from ratifying the treaty, whereas challenger states should entice them to do so. Based on this theory, we expect third parties’ ratification decisions to be influenced by their dependence on the conflicting states. To test the theory, we use data on the conflict between the United States and the European Union over the regulation of trade in genetically modified organisms. The European Union created a new treaty, the Cartagena Protocol, to enhance biosafety regulation and propagate the “precautionary principle” over the “sound science principle” defended by the United States. Our quantitative analysis shows that ratification decisions of third parties were influenced by relations to and dependence on the clashing giants.","PeriodicalId":179080,"journal":{"name":"PSN: International Cooperation (Topic)","volume":"141 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132740696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chinese companies of multi-nationalities currently control the newly born oil industry in the country. Needless to say that the dire needs of the government because of its international isolation and sanctions compelled it to be subjected to bellow standards conditions in all economic and environmental aspects. The government accepted the conditions for the past twelve years. However, the secession of Southern Sudan into new country gives better re-negotiations opportunity to the newly born country. Meanwhile, the North is compelled to accept whatever conditions imposed on it for those Multinational companies, as referred before as controlled by Chinese capital and administrations. It is suggested here that the improvements that occur to the Northern Sudan's oil industry shall be carried out in new concessions provided by Western companies. However, the political sanctions still lie as barriers for such logical solution.","PeriodicalId":179080,"journal":{"name":"PSN: International Cooperation (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127319503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Competing for Scarce Foreign Capital: Spatial Dependence in the Diffusion of Double Taxation Treaties","authors":"Fabian Barthel, E. Neumayer","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1625773","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1625773","url":null,"abstract":"Recent research suggests that double taxation treaties (DTTs) increase bilateral foreign direct investment (FDI). However, entering such a tax treaty is not unambiguously favorable for both partners if their bilateral FDI positions are asymmetric. Due to the usual bias toward residence-based taxation in DTTs, net capital importers can face a considerable loss of tax revenues when entering these treaties. Nevertheless, there is an ever denser and growing global network of such treaties. This article argues that net capital–importing countries are caught in a prisoners’ dilemma: Collectively, they would be better off refusing to sign DTTs, but each one has an incentive to sign DTTs to gain a competitive advantage. Countries will look toward and be influenced by the policy choices of other focal countries and will follow their DTT activity. We find evidence for such spatial dependence in our analysis of DTT diffusion in a global sample over the period 1969–2005. Dyads are more likely to sign a DTT the more DTTs have previously been concluded by the regional peers of the dyad members as well as by other countries who compete with at least one of the dyad members in terms of export product structure.","PeriodicalId":179080,"journal":{"name":"PSN: International Cooperation (Topic)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128519259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The situation, however, is changing drastically. The future of East Asia regionalism has become amorphous because of complicated new trends. Japan, one of the important actors that constitute triangular relationships in East Asia, has been encouraging development of East Asian regionalism in the economic arena. Australia and Japan continue to work closely together in APEC, and are both founding members of the East Asia Summit. China’s growing political presence in East Asia, particularly within ASEAN, and the emergence of new regional organisations after the Asian Financial Crisis meant that John Howard could not afford to ignore regional multilateral diplomacy, despite his preference for bilateralism. When the Labor Party took power in 2007, it continued the trend found in the late Howard administration towards regional multilateralism.","PeriodicalId":179080,"journal":{"name":"PSN: International Cooperation (Topic)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125195851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
