This chapter contends that the event is always an event of language and that adventure is inseparable from the speech that tells it. The being that happens here and now happens to an “I” and, for this reason, is not without relation with language; it is instead defined every time with respect to an instance of enunciation; it is always a “sayable,” which as such demands to be said. For this reason, the one who is involved in the event-adventure is involved and summoned in it as a speaking being, and—following the mandatory rules of the Round Table—must try to tell his adventure. The adventure, which has called him into speech, is being told by the speech of the one it has called and does not exist before this speech.

This chapter analyzes the turn within mainstream environmentalism toward business partnerships, cause marketing, professional fundraising, and the co-branding of products. The chapter further examines the role of nongovernmental organizations in setting up and running eco-labeling and eco-certification organizations. WWF, also known as the World Wildlife Fund and the World Wide Fund for Nature, is a leader in the nongovernmental embrace of business, markets, and certification as ways to conserve nature and improve environmental conditions. Certification standards, such as those of the Marine Stewardship Council and the Round Table on Responsible Soy, are creating some modest reforms to business practices. NGO-business partnerships, such as the one between WWF and Coca-Cola, are also producing some small-scale benefits. But partnering with business and relying on market solutions risks legitimizing business as usual as well as shifting responsibility for global environmental problems onto consumers, a weak global force of change compared to the forces of unsustainability.

Abstract: The “New Lex Mercatoria” is not a “legal system” or a defined set of rules, but a “method”. In this sense, the New Lex Mercatoria consists of giving authorization to the courts and/or arbitrators to assess different legal materials regulating international trade; following that, they will extract the “most appropriate rules” to solve the litigation. It is, therefore, a method to achieve adequate decisions in international trade (Method of Decision-Making). Thus, the arbitrator is prevented from applying a single national Law, which is exactly what the parties intended to avoid at all costs and the reason why they chose the New Lex Mercatoria. In other words, it can be affirmed that the methodological approach to the New Lex Mercatoria is the most operative, useful and complete, as well as the one that enables us to develop a metacriticism of the New Lex Mercatoria as a source of Law in international trade.Keywords: Arbitration, efficiency principle, general principles of Law recognized by civilized Nations, general principles of private international law, Globalization, international contracts, international trade, delocalization, mandatory rules (in international trade), New Lex Mercatoria, “Norsolor syndrome”, Private International Law, Public Policy, sources of Law, Uniform Law.Resumen: La Nueva Lex Mercatoria es un “método” y no un “ordenamiento jurídico” ni un conjunto definido de reglas. En esta acepción, la Nueva Lex Mercatoria consiste en una habilitación ofrecida a los tribunales y/o a los árbitros para que éstos valoren distintos materiales jurídicos reguladores del comercio internacional y, tras ello, extraigan las “normas más adecuadas” para solventar el litigio. Es, por tanto, un método para alcanzar decisiones adecuadas en el comercio internacional (Method of DecisionMaking). De ese modo, se evita que el árbitro acabe por aplicar una concreta Ley estatal lo que constituye, significativamente, eso mismo que la elección de la Nueva Lex Mercatoria por las partes quiere evitar a toda costa. En otras palabras, puede afirmarse que la acepción metodológica de la Nueva Lex Mercatoria es la más operativa, la más útil, la más completa y la que permite desarrollar, precisamente, una metacrítica de la Nueva Lex Mercatoria como fuente del Derecho de los negocios internacionales. Palabras clave: Arbitraje, comercio internacional, contratos internacionales, Derecho Internacional Privado, Derecho Uniforme, deslocalización, fuentes del Derecho, Globalización, normas imperativas (en el comercio internacional), Nueva Ley Mercatoria, orden público, principios generales de Derecho Internacional Privado, principios generales del Derecho reconocidos por las naciones civilizadas, “síndrome Norsolor”.

The departments of political science in America's colleges and universities are now numbered in the hundreds, their students in the tens of thousands. The variety of these departments is bewildering, differing as they do in size, curriculum, teaching methods, political complexion, aspirations, and even in name. It is no easy matter to discover what the fifty-man faculty in political science at Columbia and the one-man department of government at a California junior college have in common; yet one thing in common they certainly do have: the introductory course, and the complex problem which it presents.That the introductory course does present a major problem to departments of political science everywhere was clearly acknowledged by the program committee of the 1947 meeting of the American Political Science Association, when it scheduled a panel entitled “The Beginning Course in Political Science.” The problem was further acknowledged by the panel itself; hardly a person of the many who took part in its proceedings, whether seated at the round-table or holding forth extemporaneously from the audience, failed to show some degree of candid dissatisfaction with the introductory course as presently conducted at his institution. Rare indeed is the department of political science which is willing to let its introductory course ride along through 1948 in the exact shape it assumed through 1947. The urge for improvement is nation-wide, and several prominent departments have gone so far as to relieve instructors of part of their normal teaching burden and commission them to work out definite programs of radical revision.

Interdisciplinary Integration

The interdisciplinarity of art education lies in the universality of the influence of art on all human cognitive processes and the ability to embody artistically any theme and plot that excites a person — an artist and a recipient. The origins of interdisciplinarity as a scientific paradigm are involved in the theory of communication. Interdisciplinarity is based on scientific semantics: interdisciplinarity plays a syntactic role, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, it helps to build semantic connections in schemes and transitions between different subject areas. A promising strategic direction is to increase the cultural intensity of all disciplines. Simplified practical use of art as an illustration, “figurative confirmation” of life phenomena ignores its high purpose. Practitioners pay attention to the use of interactive teaching methods: discussion, round table, method of projects, synectics, inversion, etc. In the implementation of research projects of students, we use phenomenological dialogue / polylogue. The use of this method creates conditions for analysis, reflection and self-assessment of students in the organization of their educational activities. The facet approach is an important area of modernization of the university and corresponds to the innovative nature of science. The transition from interdisciplinary integration in the classroom to interdisciplinary integration with project forms of education is the main condition for building an innovative model for the development of art education.

When in August 1933 the German Minister to China, Dr Oskar P. Trautmann, reported to Berlin, ‘daβ die Völkerbundsmelodie politisch hier ausgespielt hat’, he had jumped to a conclusion too soon. When two years later the Journal Round Table commented, ‘to-day the League of Nations is no longer a political factor in the Far East’, this assessment was vindicated by evidence of every description. The two years between had witnessed the peak and decline of the League of Nation's ‘technical co-operation’ with the National Government of China. This episode plays its part as one of the major accomplishments of the League during the dismal second decade of its existence. It figures, however, only marginally in the history of twentieth-century China. Western works on modern Chinese history tend to neglect it altogether, and the most comprehensive scholarly treatment of China's foreign relations during the Republican period does not even deem it worth a reference in passing. On the other hand, the one authoritative textbook on modern Chinese economic history published in the People's Republic of China devotes ample space to the denunciation of the League's Chinese enterprise.

The question discussed in the articles published in this issue of the Israel Law Review is not really new. In 1978, published an article in this review dealing with the issue. At that time, it looked much more like an academic question with very few potential practical consequences. The reason for this is clear. It was like the discussions that took place in European countries a century ago regarding judicial review (of legislation). Even those who favored it were not able to consider any form of implementation. In the absence of an established principle of judicial review, the problem looked purely theoretical. Later, after World War II, judicial review of legislation became very fashionable and conquered almost all modern occidental democracies. The question arising now is whether we can expect a similar development as regards the validity and efficacy of eternity clauses. On the one hand, there is a growing number of eternity clauses; on the other hand, we have witnessed an extraordinary development in the field of judicial review, which is the result of the general growth of judicial activism in all countries. In other words, two parallel trends are coming increasingly close to one another and will certainly give rise to a new chapter in constitutional theory and practice.In April 2010, the International Association of Constitutional Law (I ACL) held one of its two annual round tables in Jerusalem. Entitled “Unconstitutional Constitutional Amendments,” it was devoted to the issue of constitutional review. In this issue of the Israel Law Review, we present some of the papers presented at the round table by experts from various countries.

On April 29, 2021, IMEMO RAS held a round table chaired by the Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a member of the Directorate of IMEMO RAS V.G. Baranovsky and organized by the Center of European Studies of the IMEMO RAS under the leadership of Candidate of Historical Sciences Yu.D. Kvashnin. The round table participants analyzed the key problems of modern Spain's economy in the context of the emergence of new challenges of a global and regional nature. The discussion focused on the dynamics of the Spanish economy and its reaction to both a set of internal problems and external crises. In the context of unprecedented support for citizens and businesses from European regulators, Spain has become one of the primary beneficiaries in the distribution of European funds. Until 2027, the country will receive 170 billion euros. On the one hand, this will significantly boost the potential of the national economy in the long term regarding the country's role for the EU resilience and sustainability. The country's business is capable of significantly accelerating the economy through a successful foreign economic sector. The EU funds' emphasis on the Green Deal and the dominance of a government coalition with a special focus on the Green Agenda create favorable conditions for the promotion of Spanish energy multinationals at the global level. Nevertheless, Spain has been facing a number of socio-economic and political problems for a long time. Among them are high unemployment rate, significant budget deficit and political instability. The pandemic has greatly exacerbated the complexity of this range of problems. Their solution depends on the ability of the national political establishment to consolidate the existing levers and to ensure sustainable development of the economy through reforms. The assimilation of all-European fund resources, record for the country, greatly simplifies the tasks Spain is facing, but a political consensus is needed. The main speakers of the event included A.V. Avilova, K.A. Nikulin and G.N. Ponedelko from the Center of European Studies of the IMEMO RAS; I.L. Prokhorenko from the Department of International Political Problems of the IMEMO RAS; V.M. Tayar and P.P.Yakovlev from the Center of Iberian Studies of the Institute of Latin America RAS; T.V. Sidorenko from the National Research University Higher School of Economics; and T.I. Malashenko from the Department of Business Administration of the joint venture 'Digital Industrial Platform'. The review of the round table discussions was prepared by Kirill A. Nikulin, the junior researcher of the Center of European Studies of the IMEMO RAS ([email protected], ORCID: 0000-0001-6314-0447.
