  • Customary international law is based on State practice. This book presents the international law practice of Germany, the world's fourth-largest economy and a powerhouse of the European Union. That practice makes an important contribution to the creation and development of customary international law. It is the first and only presentation in English of German practice in the field of international law. The 2019 volume also provides comprehensive coverage of Germany's membership of the United Nations Security Council. The book combines a case study approach, providing analysis and commentary on Germany's practice, with a classic digest of primary materials, including diplomatic correspondence, statements and court decisions. The book is an ideal complement to other compilations of international law practice and is an essential resource for scholars and practitioners of international law. It will also be of interest to scholars of international relations, politics and diplomatic studies.

    Print publication:
    19 May 2022, pp 309-355

  • Summary

    In Chapter 6, the overall conclusions are discussed in detail, including with respect to the suitability of using the ICC to address environmental harm and the adjudicative coherence thereof. Policy options for the redress of environmental harm under international criminal law are assessed, including using the ICC in its current form; amending the Rome Statute of the ICC; and establishing a new, specifically designed international tribunal (an international court for the environment) to address instances of environmental harm.

  • 5 - Three Case Studies of Environmental Harm

  • Matthew Gillett, University of Essex
  • Book:
    Prosecuting Environmental Harm before the International Criminal Court
    Published online:
    05 May 2022
    Print publication:
    19 May 2022, pp 238-308

  • Summary

    In Chapter 5, three case studies are examined in order to assess the possibility of addressing them through ICC proceedings: first, harm to the environment caused by or during armed conflict, with a particular focus on the environmental destruction in the Middle East wrought by Saddam Hussein’s forces and, later, by ISIS/Da’esh; second, environmental harm caused by the improper transport, storage or disposal of hazardous waste (otherwise known as toxic dumping); and, third, the exploitation of wildlife.

  • Pax populi? An analysis of the conflict resolution potential of referendums on self-determination

  • Micha Germann
  • Journal:
    European Political Science Review / Volume 14 / Issue 3 / August 2022
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    16 May 2022, pp. 403-423

  • The international community increasingly promotes referendums as it intervenes in self-determination conflicts around the world. However, the ability of self-determination referendums to bring about peace remains uncertain. This paper develops the argument that the conflict resolution potential of self-determination referendums is conditional, depending on whether or not they are held under the mutual agreement of the relevant minority and majority groups. When mutually agreed, self-determination referendums are likely to generate shared perceptions of fair decision-making and thereby increase chances for peace. By contrast, unilateral self-determination referendums are likely to increase ethnic grievances and, therefore, the risk of separatist violence. I find support for this argument in a global statistical analysis, short case studies, and a survey experiment. Overall, this study suggests that self-determination referendums can make a positive contribution to peace, but only if the conditions for a partial compromise on a referendum, including its terms, are ripe.

  • In recent years, populist radical right parties (PRRPs) have continued to establish themselves in parliaments across Europe. However, there is little research on party responses in parliaments. This article explores how mainstream parties have dealt with the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in state parliaments. Its contribution is twofold: theoretically, it links the existing literature on party responses to the parliamentary arena and proposes a comprehensive framework for analyzing party responses in parliament, distinguishing between the formal and the policy level. Moreover, it tries to understand the variation of responses by emphasizing three important factors: party ideology, the government–opposition divide, and the federal structure of parties. Empirically, the article explores the crucial variation of response patterns toward the AfD at the subnational level, which is often neglected in the study of PRRPs. The results show that party responses reflect an ongoing learning process with no ‘magic formula’ in sight. Overall, the article underlines the importance of party responses in the initial phase for the PRRPs’ impact and offers substantial theoretical and empirical impetus for future research.

Change in Global Environmental Politics
  • Temporal Focal Points and the Reform of International Institutions
  • Michael W. Manulak
  • Published online:

    12 May 2022
  • As wildfires rage, pollution thickens, and species disappear, the world confronts environmental crisis with a set of global institutions in urgent need of reform. Yet, these institutions have proved frustratingly resistant to change. Introducing the concept of Temporal Focal Points, Manulak shows how change occurs in world politics. By re-envisioning the role of timing and temporality in social relations, his analysis presents a new approach to understanding transformative phases in international cooperation. We may now be entering such a phase, he argues, and global actors must be ready to realize the opportunities presented. Charting the often colorful and intensely political history of change in global environmental politics, this book sheds new light on the actors and institutions that shape humanity's response to planetary decline. It will be of interest to scholars and advanced students of international relations, international organization and environmental politics and history.
