Immigration / Intellectual Property Law
Edited by Stephanie Schiedermair, Alexander Schwarz & Dominik Steiger Human rights protection is dynamic and in constant flux. This collection explores current, critical issues regarding human rights theory and practice at the European Court of Human Rights. Taking a three part approach, it explores: procedural concerns, principles and jurisprudence, and interaction with national legal systems. With each contributor brining their own unique perspective and expertise to key human questions of the day, it makes compelling reading for all human rights specialists, be they in academia or practice. Fareda Banda, SOAS, University of London, UK This innovative book looks at the topic of migration through the prism of law and literature. The author uses a rich mix of novels, short stories, literary realism, human rights and comparative literature to explore the experiences of African migrants and
asylum seekers. The book is divided into 2 sections. Part 1 is conceptual and focuses on art activism and the myriad ways in which people have sought to ‘write justice.’ Part 2 moves from the general to consider the intersections of gender and status focusing on women, LGBTI individuals and children.

Flexible Regional Economic Integration in Africa
Lessons and Implications for the Multilateral Trading System
Timothy Masiko, University of Nottingham, UK This book examines the relationship between flexible regional economic integration in the East African Community and the establishment of the African Continental Free Trade Area. The author uses a political, historical, legal and economic analysis to show how regional integration efforts in Africa are based on pan-Africanist ideals, and how an evolution of these ideals has led to an evolution in the goals of integration. Flexible Regional Economic Integration in Africa was awarded the 2020 SIEL–Hart Prize in International Economic Law.
The Regulation of Product Standards in World Trade Law
Ming Du, Durham University, UK This book provides a critical analysis of how governmental, private and hybrid product standards are regulated in the GATT/WTO legal framework. It also explores the impact that WTO disciplines may have on the composition, function, and decisionmaking process of various standard-setting bodies, through the lens of selected case studies including the EU eco-labelling scheme, ISO standards, and private standards such as the FSC. The book analyses what role, if any, the WTO may play in making product standards embody not only technological superiority, but also substantive and procedural fairness.

Towards an EU Co-Regulatory Framework
Zoi Krokida, De Montfort University, UK This book critically evaluates the EU regulatory framework for the liability of host Internet Service Providers (ISPs) for copyright and trade mark infringements and provides novel recommendations for its improvement. Amid the uncertainty that is created by the existing legislative tools, this book recommends the imposition of a duty of care to host ISPs to curb the dissemination of unauthorised works and counterfeit goods, the ascription of a transparency obligation to host ISPs towards their users, and the establishment of a supervisory authority for host ISPs, thus offering a new perspective for resolving online IP disputes.
