The present symposium follows on from a forum held at the University of Oslo on 11 September 2015 during the 11th Annual Conference of the European Society of International Law. This forum, sponsored by the ESIL Interest Group on Peace and Security, was particularly successful and led to a very interesting debate between the members of the European Society of International Law. The Leiden Journal of International Law has today the pleasure to publish, after the usual process of peer review, the complete and updated versions of the four papers presented during this event.

The Impact

My name is Adrien Wing. I am Associate Dean of International and Comparative Law Programs at the University of Iowa College of Law where I have been teaching for thirty-two years. I am also pleased to be with you today because I have been a member of ASIL for thirty-seven years. When I joined, we did not have any topics like today's subject. We certainly did not have the demographic diversity that is represented in this room. We have come a long way in some respects, and so at least for programming, it is wonderful that we have this topic “Diverse Perspectives on the Impact of Colonialism on International Law.” Three of the speakers will emphasize Africa. One person will focus on Latin America. The MILIG Interest Group, the minority interest group, is sponsoring this session. We are fortunate to have the co-chairs of the Interest Group here: Rafael Porrata-Doria and Christina Beharry.

Abstract. The presentation of this research paper in the 10th. annual Conference of the Western Hemispheric Development in the University of Texas A&M in Laredo Texas, (April 23-25, 2005) brought a great opportunity to reflect the efforts of a region in the north of Mexico for the world’s peace and security inside the International trade with the gowth factors important for any and all nations. In this investigation the combined efforts of USA and Mexico are shown to protect the International Trade against the acts of terrorism and smuggling of illegal drugs which constantly try to infiltrate their illicit activities, delivering a great damage to companies that carry out activities of international trade. Relevant conclusions are presented at the end of the paper.Key words: Border issues, globalization, international tradeResumen. La oportunidad de presentar esta ponencia dentro de la 10 anual Conferencia del Wester Hemispherif Develomptment, en la Universidad de Texas A&M en Laredo Texas, (Abril 23-25, 2005) fue una gran oportunidad para mostrar los esfuerzos de una región del norte de México por la paz y seguridad dentro del Comercio Internacional, que es en si uno de los factores de desarrollo mas importante para cualquier nación. En esta investigación se muestran los esfuerzos conjuntos d EEUU y México para proteger el Comercio Internacional de los actos de terrorismo y contrabando de drogas ilegales, que desgraciadamente utilizan este medio, para infiltrar sus actividades ilícitas, y por ende, es una gran perjuicio para compañías que honestamente realizan actividades de comercio internacional. Así mismo, se presentan las conclusiones sobre estas discusiones al final de artículo.Palabras clave: Asuntos fronterizas, comercio internacional, globalización

Abstract This paper investigates the use of metrics to recruit professors for academic positions. We analyzed confidential reports with candidate evaluations in economics, sociology, physics, and informatics at the University of Oslo between 2000 and 2017. These unique data enabled us to explore how metrics were applied in these evaluations in relation to other assessment criteria. Despite being important evaluation criteria, metrics were seldom the most salient criteria in candidate evaluations. Moreover, metrics were applied chiefly as a screening tool to decrease the number of eligible candidates and not as a replacement for peer review. Contrary to the literature suggesting an escalation of metrics, we foremost detected stable assessment practices with only a modestly increased reliance on metrics. In addition, the use of metrics proved strongly dependent on disciplines where the disciplines applied metrics corresponding to their evaluation cultures. These robust evaluation practices provide an empirical example of how core university processes are chiefly characterized by path-dependency mechanisms, and only moderately by isomorphism. Additionally, the disciplinary-dependent spread of metrics offers a theoretical illustration of how travelling standards such as metrics are not only diffused but rather translated to fit the local context, resulting in heterogeneity and context-dependent spread.

International Legal System

Crises have always been part of international law discipline and some even say part of the identity of an international lawyer. History shows that international law has developed through reacting to previous experiences of crisis. International law reflects agreement on how to avoid known crisis from repeating. However, human society evolves and challenges existing rules, structures, and agrements. The evolution certainly confronts international law with questions as to the suitability of the existing for the new stages of development. Ulrich and Ziemele have brought together the selected speakers of the European Society of International Law annual conference which took place in Latvia and was organized by the Riga Graduate School of Law and the Society in 2016. The editors have characterized the international law and crisis discourse as dialectic and they have grouped the articles contained in the volume under four main themes—security, immunities, sustainable development, and philosophical perspectives—which show those areas of international law which are currently facing noticeable challenge and confrontation from various developments in society. The surprising general conclusion emerging in this collection is the confirmation that by and large international legal system contains concepts, principles, rules, mechanisms, and formats for addressing the various developments that may prima facia seem to challenge these very same elements of the system. Their use, however, involves informed policy decisions.

The Fourth Annual Conference of the Canadian Council on International Law was held at the University of Ottawa on October 24 and 25, 1975. The theme of the Conference was the international law of development and three sessions dealt with the evolving law of development, development aid and trade, and development and foreign assistance.The first session, chaired by Mr. Erik Wang, of the Department of External Affairs, began with a paper presented by Dr. Oscar Schachter, formerly Deputy Director of UNITAR and currently Professor of International Law at Columbia University. Dr. Schachter appropriately set the scene by responding to the question whether it is possible to speak of an international law of development.
