Young Researchers

In November 2016, a group of students from the Americas participated in an Inter-American Institute for Global Change Researchfunded two-week course organized by professors from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. The aim was to teach students and young researchers how to collaborate with non-scientists to conduct socioecological systems research in a transdisciplinary manner. This article will review the benefits as well as the challenges to doing so. It concludes with recommendations that other research teams can follow when conducting similar research that crosses disciplinary and international borders.

International Jurisdiction

A Convenção Americana, um verdadeiro código latino-americano de Direitos Humanos, foi incorporado por 25 Estados no continente — expressando, no que tange às garantias legais de direitos dos homens, a força de uma consonância de princípios a serem seguidos na região. Ao denunciar sérias violações aos direitos humanos, e exercer pressões sobre os Estados, a Corte Interamericana de Direitos Humanos tem feito prodigiosas contribuições para o acesso à justiça no continente americano, quando as instituições nacionais se mostram omissas ou limitadas. Nesse diapasão, propõe-se analisar mais detalhadamente o contexto que permitiu o surgimento desta Corte regional, assim como traçar um perfil qualitativa de sua atuação no Continente.

Chapter 3 examines the international jurisdiction in sovereign debt disputes and particularly the following matters: service of proceedings; the jurisdiction under the Brussels Regulation, the jurisdiction under English national rules; individual standing of beneficial bondholders; class actions. The chapter also examines the issue of pre-emptive strikes in sovereign debt litigation, in other words whether private creditors may initiate legal actions before the conclusion of the sovereign debt restructuring and how courts may constrain such litigation. The chapter argues that the English courts may stay proceedings if they are brought in contravention of the powers of bondholders under majority action clauses. The chapter lastly addresses the issue of whether the majority may modify the bonds after the English court has issued a judgment.

There are many regions that meet the necessary conditions for sovereign governance in the world, but few secessionist conflicts. I argue that this relative paucity of secessionist violence is the result of government preemption of potential secessionist movements. Using cross-national geospatial data from 1992 to 2013, I find that governments invest more, measured via nighttime light emissions, in more secession-prone regions. The same factors that make territory attractive for secession, such as large populations and international borders, also make governments willing to work to retain control of that territory, contributing to the scarcity of separatist civil conflicts.
