State Ocean Jurisdiction
Proposing a systematic analytical framework which assists in understanding and applying the international law regime governing State ocean jurisdiction with a view to improved ocean governance for sustainable development, this book distinguishes between, and focuses on, the form, the ground, the scope and the purpose of State ocean jurisdiction.Defining jurisdiction as the international-law authority of a State to be involved in a factual matter on the basis of a valid legal ground to perform authoritative acts impacting on that matter, it disaggregates the concept the complexity of which often leads to States failing to make full use of their existing ocean jurisdictions.In the process, it identifies when and to what extent there are gaps and overlaps of jurisdictions.Bringing clarity on an inevitably complex and often misunderstood framework that is aimed at striking a universally accepted balance of competing interests, the book lays the foundation for future research, contextualising the position of State ocean jurisdiction not only in terms of ocean governance, but in the whole of public international law.With an original systematic focus on State ocean jurisdiction, the book will be of interest to academics, students and practitioners working in the areas of international law of the sea, ocean governance, human rights and environmental law.

Understanding Urban Cycling : Exploring the Relationship Between Mobility, Sustainability and Capital
Academic interest in cycling has burgeoned in recent years with significant literature relating to the health and environmental benefits of cycling, the necessity for cycle-specific infrastructure, and the embodied experiences of cycling. Based upon primary research in a variety of contexts such as London, Shanghai and Taipei, this book demonstrates that recent developments in urban cycling policy and practice are closely linked to broader processes of capital accumulation.It argues that cycling is increasingly caught up in discourses around smart cities that emphasise technological solutions to environmental problems and neoliberal ideas on individual responsibility and bio-political conduct, which only results in solutions that prioritise those who are already mobile.Accordingly, the central argument of the book is not that the popularisation of cycling is inherently bad, but that the manner in which cycling is being popularised gives cause for social and environmental concern.Ultimately the book argues that cycling has now become a vehicle for sustaining pro-growth agendas rather than subverting them or shifting to sustainable no-growth/de-growth and less technologically driven visions of modernity. This book makes an innovative contribution to the fields of Cycling Studies, Mobilities and Transport and will be of interest to students and academics working in Human Geography, Transport Studies, Urban Studies, Urban Planning, Public Policy, Sociology and Sustainability.

Managing Urban Mobility Systems
Urban mobility is currently a major problem all over the world.Space is limited, and individuals aim for a level of quality in mobility that is only achieved by largely motorised solutions, which have a detrimental effect on the urban environment.Careful analysis of urban mobility systems across the world reveals that consistent and effective policies can only be defined and implemented if the various components of the system and their interrelations are considered.This book addresses the problem of managing urban mobility systems in a novel way by considering the complexity and diversity of the conurbation and agents involved in a UMS, putting forward the evidence that urban mobility must be managed at system level.The value of this book lies in bringing together a sound theoretical approach to urban mobility systems supported by evidence from several cities across the world where this approach was either implemented or at least assessed, together with clear instructional guidelines.It constitutes a handbook for practitioners, politicians, researchers and students of urban mobility management.

What is the difference between social jurisdiction and labor jurisdiction?
Social jurisdiction refers to the legal framework that governs social security benefits, such as healthcare, pensions, and unemployment insurance. On the other hand, labor jurisdiction deals with the regulation of labor relations, including issues related to employment contracts, working conditions, and labor disputes. While social jurisdiction focuses on providing social protections to individuals, labor jurisdiction is more concerned with regulating the relationship between employers and employees in the workplace.
-
What is mandatory jurisdiction?
Mandatory jurisdiction refers to a situation where a court is required to hear a case that falls within its jurisdiction. This means that the court does not have the discretion to refuse to hear the case if it meets certain criteria. In contrast, discretionary jurisdiction allows a court to choose whether or not to hear a case. Mandatory jurisdiction is typically found in cases involving certain types of legal issues or parties, such as cases involving constitutional questions or cases between states.
-
Which jurisdiction is competent?
The jurisdiction that is competent is typically determined by the specific laws and regulations governing the issue at hand. In general, jurisdiction is determined based on factors such as the location of the parties involved, the location where the issue arose, and the type of legal matter being addressed. It is important to consult with a legal professional to determine the appropriate jurisdiction for a specific case or legal matter.

Private International Law and Arbitral Jurisdiction
International commercial arbitration and litigation are often seen as competing fora, fields of law, or markets.This intersection is at its highest at the forefront of any proceedings, at the jurisdictional stage.The analysis of jurisdictional issues at the forefront of an arbitration has been confined in a descriptive analysis of the law and jurisprudence, dealing with jurisdictional intersections almost in a mechanistic manner.These are not, however, issues which can be treated as mere mechanical rules.They are issues pertaining to core notions of authority, sovereignty, their origins and their allocation.At the same time, the pragmatic and practical domination of party autonomy is a fact which cannot be disregarded when one considers the normative and theoretical foundations of any model of dealing with these issues.This book moves beyond an analysis of arbitration and jurisdiction clauses to reconcile theory and practice, and provides an underlying theoretical model to explain and regulate jurisdictional intersections at the early stages of an arbitration from a private international law perspective.It combines both an in-depth engagement with the theoretical literature as well as a close examination and analysis of its practical consequences in the form of a restatement of the law of England and Wales.From a methodological perspective, it utilises contemporary theories in private international law to propose a coherent model of regulating arbitral jurisdictions which promotes autonomy and freedom of the parties at this stage.Demonstrating, first, how the theoretical model can be applied in practice and, second, to provide a basis for a potential future top-down or bottom-up approach of adopting the proposed model, it includes a succinct and practical codification of the current state of affairs in relation to the whole spectrum of jurisdictional issues in England and Wales to serve as a useful tool for practitioners considering jurisdictional issues both from the perspective of State courts and from the perspective of arbitral tribunals, as well as academics researching in these areas.

How do electric motors work in electric mobility with cars?
Electric motors in electric cars work by converting electrical energy from the battery into mechanical energy to drive the vehicle. When the driver accelerates, the electric motor receives power from the battery and generates torque to propel the car forward. This process is more efficient than traditional internal combustion engines, as electric motors have fewer moving parts and can deliver power instantly. Additionally, electric motors can also act as generators during braking, converting kinetic energy back into electrical energy to recharge the battery, a process known as regenerative braking.
