Attitudes towards the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership in the European Union: The treaty partner heuristic and issue attention
2018
Why has the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partisanship met with strong public resistance among some Europeans and in some European Union member states, but not in others? This article argues that one important perspective to explain the pattern of support for TTIP is the role of heuristic opinion formation and issue attention. Analysing multiple waves of Eurobarometer data, I find that views of the two treaty partners, the US and the European Union, shape attitudes towards TTIP and that the largely post-materialist concerns over TTIP resonated specifically in those European countries whose citizens’ attention was less focused on economic issues. In showing how opinions towards concret…
Los tráficos ilícitos en el Mediterráneo y las organizaciones poli-criminales transnacionales
2021
After a general overview on the movements in the Mediterranean between yesterday and today, the contribution underlines the emergence of poly-criminal organizations in this area. On the basis of the consideration of the different types of criminals organisations operating in the Mediterranean, reference is made to the results of a related research on five penal systems (Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Greek).. El estudio abordado hace referencia a la presencia en el Mediterráneo de los tráficos ilícitos, y sobre el papel protagonista que en estos componentes ocultos de la movilidad y de la globalización juegan las organizaciones criminales transnacionales. Estos dos aspectos se enfrentan a…
Using GATS Article II to Resort to Investment Arbitration
2020
It is widely known that links between international investment law and World Trade Organization (WTO) rules—which are part of competition law at the global level—are numerous. But is it possible to use a WTO rule to resort to investment arbitration? This is what a corporation from Luxembourg attempted to do recently as a consequence of a dispute arising from an investment made in the airport sector in Senegal. Since Luxembourg had no investment treaty with the investor’s host state, the claimant sought to establish the jurisdiction of an investment tribunal by combining the most-favoured-nation clause provided in General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) Article II and the investor-stat…
The role of the economic crisis on the competitiveness of the agri-food sector in the main Mediterranean countries
2014
Th e world economic crisis that, since 2008 has also struck the real economy, cannot be attributed only to the United States bubble which in 2007 involved the mortgage credit market, but it is the result of a series of factors among which the imbalance of the fi nancial market, of the public accounts of the main economies and the real sector. Also agricul- ture, which has always been considered an anti-cyclic sector, has seen a strong slowdown with a plunge in the trade fl ows. Th is paper analyses the changes which happened to the competitive position in the world market of some Mediterranean countries and of France, Italy, Spain and Turkey in particular trying, moreover, to understand the…
UNCLOS and territorialization of the seas: the case of Indian and Pacific Oceans
2017
The 200-nautical-mile Exclusive Economic Zone created by the 1982 UNCLOS regime generates conflict in areas where the distance between opposite national coasts is less than 400 nautical miles and in marginal seas surrounded by many states and with islands. This is the case of the marginal seas in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. In particular, the EEZ regime has proved troublesome in the South China Sea, leading some authors to ask whether it has actually strengthened or undermined peace and cooperation. Does the problem really lie with UNCLOS? My purpose hereby is to explain that, in truth, UNCLOS is a milestone in the process of territorialization of the seas . The EEZ regime represents the…

The impact of foreign trade on the Netherlands' real CO2 emissions
2019

In order to assess the potential for policy measures, the openness of an economy, and the related import and export and their impacts on emissions should be considered. The aim of this paper is the attempt to show the real CO2 emissions of the Netherlands as well as the impact of its trade on CO2 emissions in other countries in the world and in the EU in 2015.Design / Research methods: This study was conducted on the group of countries that are the major emitters of CO2 in the world including most of the EU members.…
Long-Run Determinants and Short-Run Dynamics of the Trade Balance in the Eu-15 Countries
2016
Several studies have analyzed the long-run determinants of current account balances using panel cointegration techniques. In this paper we will study both the long-run determinants and the short-run dynamics of the trade balances in the EU-15 countries. We will analyze each country separately and decompose the aggregate trade balance into the intra balance (trade balance vis-a-vis euro area) and the extra balance (trade balance vis-a-vis the rest of the world). Overall, our results suggest that there are significant differences in the long-run relations across the EU-15 countries which might be overlooked in the panel cointegration studies. In most of the countries there is a long-run coint…
