Abstract

"Since the end of the Cold War, significant attention has focussed on the issue of nuclear deterrence and in particular whether formal nuclear security guarantees from nuclear weapons states to non-nuclear weapons states involving the possible use of nuclear weapons have a place in the twenty-first century global strategic landscape. Growing support for nuclear disarmament in the US and elsewhere has seen witnessed serious doubts being raised about the ongoing utility of extended nuclear deterrence. This book provides the first detailed analysis of the way in which extended nuclear deterrence operates in contemporary Asia. It addresses the following key questions: What does the role of extended nuclear deterrence in Asia tell us about the broader role of extended nuclear deterrence in the contemporary international system? Is this role likely to change significantly in the years ahead? O'Neil uses a theoretical and historical framework to analyse the contemporary and future dynamics of extended nuclear deterrence in Asia and challenges many of the existing orthodox perspectives on the topic"--

Abstract

From the dawn of the atomic age to today, nuclear weapons have been central to the internal dynamics of US alliances in Europe and Asia. But nuclear weapons cooperation in US alliances has varied significantly between allies and over time. Partners in deterrence explores the history of America's nuclear posture worldwide, delving into alliance structures and interaction during and since the end of the Cold War to uncover the underlying dynamics of nuclear weapons cooperation between the US and its allies. Combining in-depth empirical analysis with an accessible theoretical lens, the book reveals that US allies have wielded significant influence in shaping nuclear weapons cooperation with the US in ways that reflect their own, often idiosyncratic, objectives. Alliances are ecosystems of exchange rather than mere tools of external balancing, Fruhling and O'Neil argue, and institutional perspectives can offer an unprecedented insight into how structured cooperation can promote policy convergence. --

Abstract

"In an era of great power competition, the role of alliances in managing escalation of conflict has acquired renewed importance. Nuclear weapons remain the ultimate means for deterrence and controlling escalation, and are central to US alliances in Europe and the Indo-Pacific. However, allies themselves need to better prepare for managing escalation in an increasingly challenging geostrategic and technological environment for the US and its allies. While the challenge of great power competition is acute at both ends of Eurasia, adversary threats, geography and the institutional context of US alliances differ. This book brings together leading experts from Europe, Northeast Asia, the United States and Australia to focus on these challenges, identify commonalities and differences across regions, and pinpoint ways to collectively manage nuclear deterrence and potential escalation pathways in America's 21st century alliances."--

Abstract

The article discusses the compatibility of the ISDS clause found in the CETA trade agreement between the EU and Canada with EU law. It begins by examining the legal precedents established by the CJEU in the area of dispute settlement by looking at Opinions 1/91, 1/00, 1/09, and 2/13. From here the article then moves on to the interpretation of the ISDS mechanism found in the investment chapter of the revised CETA text, where the analysis is then divided into three sections pertaining to the underlying questions that would need to be answered in order to determine if the ISDS clause was compatible with EU law; these being whether it i) provides a binding interpretation of EU law, ii) rules on the division of competences between the EU and the Member States, or iii) affects the institutional structure and balance of powers established by the Treaties. Finally, the article then examines the findings from the three criteria areas, and makes a determination from there as to whether the CETA agreement's ISDS clause can be considered consistent with the principle of the autonomy of EU law to the extent that it would be found to be in compliance with the EU legal order. Overall this paper is meant to be a first attempt at determining the legality of the recently revised CETA agreement, and to add to the at this point limited literature on the issue of the potential compatibility of ISDS clauses with EU law.
