Employment and Entitlement in the GCC: A World-Systems Analysis of Disrupted Development by Michael Coulom
Much has been written about the ingenuity of the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, from their physical and economic growth since the 1970s, to their political weathering of the Arab Uprisings that began in 2011, and to their ever-increasing political power in the Arab World. Conversely, human rights groups have criticized the GCC for human rights abuses, particularly in regard to migrant workers and enforcing international labor laws. Development in the...

India’s Iran Policy: Between US Primacy and Regionalism
India shifted to the side of US primacy in 2004, but since then its foreign policy has shifted once more to the middle. Sitting with a senior Indian diplomat, I mentioned that India seemed to be caught between two stools, US primacy and regionalism. “That’s an apt image,” he said, “except we have not fallen between the stools.” Things are more fraught now, and less clear. Talk of the peace pipeline and of linkages with Iran returned to the agenda after 2004. As US power enters a period of decline as a result...

Lawfare and Armed Conflict: Comparing Israeli and US Targeted Killing Policies and Challenges Against Them by Lisa Hajjar
The term lawfare, an amalgamation of “law” and “warfare,” is used in reference to various kinds of legal challenges to state policies and practices in the realm of national security. Unsurprisingly, it has a negative connotation among those who oppose efforts to legally constrain state prerogatives, to fetter the discretion of officials in their pursuit of national security goals, and to pursue accountability for violations. This article...

These trends of regionbased, Geographic indicator (GI) and governmental labeled products are considered to be an added value to agroindustrial sector, and are highly efficient tactics to increase small and medium-sized enterprises (SME’s) revenues.

It has been controversial since its inception, with supporters claiming its very creation would ensure impunity. This paper offers a critique of the history, structure and procedures of the international criminal investigation and the establishment of the STL. Its central...
