  • Responsible Business Conduct and Economic Diplomacy Tools
    Responsible business conduct and economic diplomacy tools June 2017 mneguidelines.oecd.org This concept note was prepared for the session on promoting responsible business conduct (RBC) through economic diplomacy tools at the Roundtable for Policy Makers that took place on 28 June 2017 within the framework of the OECD Global Forum on Responsible Business Conduct. It sets a basis for reflection and discussion on how RBC standards can be embedded in economic diplomacy. Economic diplomacy refers to government services and support provided to business in foreign markets. This can take the form of financial support such as export credits, investment guarantees and direct lending, but can also include other public services such as trade missions, capacity building activities and access to information and networks through embassies. These tools are not only instrumental to promote foreign trade and investment, but they can also be powerful levers for governments to guide corporate behaviour and support best practice on responsible business conduct (RBC). Although far from mainstream, some governments have recognised this potential and are using economic diplomacy to create incentives for business to behave responsibly. There are several reasons for this. First, governments as economic actors should not contribute to adverse impacts of business operations. Second, although trade and investment promotion is a competitive field among countries, it is in governments' interests to create a level playing field and ensure that companies are subject to fair competition and do not profit from public services with irresponsible practices. Third, insufficient attention to corporate conduct by national companies in foreign markets can negatively affect the country's image abroad.

  • The Hollowing of Summit Diplomacy in a Socially Distanced World
    The Hague Journal of Diplomacy 15 (2020) 583-598 brill.com/hjd All That’s Lost: The Hollowing of Summit Diplomacy in a Socially Distanced World Tristen Naylor London School of Economics, London, United Kingdom [email protected] Received: 15 June 2020; revised: 30 August 2020; accepted: 21 September 2020 Summary This essay considers the implications of virtual summits replacing in-person multilat- eral gatherings of political leaders. Focusing on the loss of physicality, it argues that two critical dimensions of summitry are eliminated in this shift: sublime governance and inter-moments. Drawing on illustrative examples from the Group of 20, it demon- strates that while moving online maintains the formal, procedural interactions around which summits are built, doing so loses these critical elements of summitry which render it a valuable and unique practice in within the overall institution of diplomacy. This move also undercuts the effects of these elements, in the immediate context of a particular summit and more broadly within the international system itself. The elimi- nation of summitry’s performative and interpersonal dimensions fundamentally ren- ders online meetings unable to achieve what in-person summits can. This has acute consequences in the immediate wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and also more gener- ally as diplomacy moves online. Keywords sublime governance – inter-moments – summits – performativity – practices – face-to-face interaction – diplomacy – psychology © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2020 | doi:10.1163/1871191X-bja10041Downloaded from Brill.com09/24/2021 11:53:45PM via free access 584 Naylor 1 Introduction On 26 March 2020, the Group of 20 (G20) held an online ‘virtual’ summit to discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic crisis it ushered in.

  • Negotiating Energy Diplomacy and Its Relationship with Foreign Policy and National Security
    International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy ISSN: 2146-4553 available at http: www.econjournals.com International Journal of Energy Economics and Policy, 2020, 10(2), 1-6. Negotiating Energy Diplomacy and its Relationship with Foreign Policy and National Security Ana Bovan1, Tamara Vučenović1, Nenad Perić2* 1Metropolitan University, Faculty of Management, Belgrade, Serbia, 2Faculty for Diplomacy and Security, Belgrade, Serbia. *Email: [email protected] Received: 19 September 2019 Accepted: 01 December 2019 DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.8754 ABSTRACT Energy diplomacy is a complex field of international relations, closely linked to its principal, foreign policy and overall national security. We observe the relationship of issues that belong to the three concepts and how they are intertwined in the geopolitical reality. Despite the ontological hierarchy of the three concepts, where national security is on the highest level of generality, and energy diplomacy on the lowest, it is a recurring theme for them to continuously meet and intersect in realpolitik in a dynamic relationship. The article specifically looks at the integration of energy diplomacy into foreign policy. We discuss two pathways that energy diplomacy has taken on its integration course into foreign policy, namely the path marked by national security topics and the path that is dominantly an economic one. The article also observes the nexus of national security, foreign policy, economic security and economic diplomacy, which is termed the energy security paradox. It exemplifies the inconsistencies in the general state of affairs in which resource riches of a country result in a stable exporter status and consequentially, stable exporting energy diplomacy.

We test whether there is any evidence of a trade-off or complementary interaction between these two instruments in trade facilitation. We compare the effects of these two instruments of economic diplomacy on bilateral trade by employing a gravity model for 45 African states over the period 1980-2005. The results show that bilateral diplomatic exchange is a relatively more significant determinant of bilateral exports among African states compared to regional integration. We also find a nuanced interaction between these two instruments of economic diplomacy: the trade-stimulating effect of diplomatic exchange is less pronounced among African countries that shared membership of the same regional bloc.

  • Remarks by H.E. MURATA Takashi, Ambassador of Japan to Finland, “Online Seminar on Marine Plastic Pollution” on 5 March 2021
    Remarks by H.E. MURATA Takashi, Ambassador of Japan to Finland, “Online Seminar on Marine Plastic Pollution” on 5 March 2021 My name is MURATA Takashi, Ambassador of Japan to Finland. It is my great pleasure to host an online seminar to share Japanese experience with distinguished experts in Finland and Baltic Sea countries on marine environment protection in a challenging COVID-19 pandemic situation. On this opportunity, I wish to say a few words. First, I would like to express my deep appreciation to Rüdiger Strempel, Executive Secretary of HELCOM and its secretariat for their great support in organizing this online seminar. My deepest gratitude also goes to Prof. ISOBE Atsuhiko, Research Institute for Applied Mechanics of Kyushu University, for lecturing at this seminar out of his busy schedule. Prof. Isobe is a Japanese leading expert, who is active domestically and internationally, with physical oceanography as his major field of interest. He is working to elucidate how marine plastic litter is being transported and to predict the amount of floating microplastics in the oceans in 50 years, for the first time in the world, from scientific viewpoint. Now marine plastic litter is one of global environmental challenges that the international community as a whole should address. In virtue of its high-level convenience, plastics are said to be the greatest invention of the 20th century. However, maritime pollution by plastic litter has been spread globally and concern has also increased over adverse effects of the floating microplastics on marine environment and ecosystem in the oceans. The report released by World Economic Forum in 2016 predicted that oceans would contain more plastics than fish by weight by 2050.

Kuiken Dissertation Advisor - James E. Cronin Dissertation Abstract This dissertation examines British oil policy from the aftermath of the Suez Crisis in 1956-1957 until the Iranian Revolution and the electoral victory of Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative Party in 1979. It was a period marked by major transitions within Britain’s oil policy as well as broader changes within the international oil market. It argues that the story of Britain, and Britain’s two domestically-based oil companies, BP and Shell, offers a valuable case study in the development of competing ideas about the reorganization of the international oil industry in the wake of the rise of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries and the companies’ losing control over the production of oil.

  • Judicial Cooperation in Civil Matters’ (Eustitia): the Politics of Civil Justice Under the EU's Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ)
    DRAFT (March 2015) PLEASE CONTACT AUTHOR BEFORE CITING ‘Judicial Cooperation in Civil Matters’ (EUstitia): The Politics of Civil Justice under the EU's Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) Professor Helen E. Hartnell Paper presented at EUSA Fourteenth Biennial Conference Panel 3 C: The EU and Criminal Justice Boston – 5-7 March 2015 This paper maps the EU’s civil justice policy field, and offers some ideas about the broader significance of these developments. Since 1999, when the Amsterdam Treaty communitarized “judicial cooperation in civil matters” and the European Council laid out a five-year plan at its Tampere Summit, the EU's efforts to create a “genuine area of justice” (Tampere Milestones, ¶¶ I.3.5 & I.3.7) have been rapid and dramatic. The AFSJ field was “transformed ... into a huge ‘building site’ ” (Weyembergh 2000). More than a dozen substantial – and in some cases highly ambitious and controversial – legislative and other civil justice measures have been adopted, and more are in the pipeline.1 These measures permeate the legal infrastructure upon which the EU’s legal order is built. Some of them surpass even the broadest reading of the formal Treaty language on “judicial cooperation”. The scope and pace of these developments have been so dramatic that even experts in the affected fields were initially caught by surprise.2 Together, Amsterdam (1997) and Tampere (1999) breached the crumbling wall of national legal sovereignty, and unleashed a deluge of legal and other institutional measures in the civil justice field. The movement towards harmonization in this field is not, however,“a triumphal parade: it looks more like a [conquest], house by house, of the fortified town of national self-determination” (Biavati 2001: 90).

  • Barbados High Commission
    H.E. Mr. Guy Hewitt High Commissioner for Barbados to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Mr Tom Tugendhat, MP Chair Foreign Affairs Select Committee House of Commons London, SW1A 0AA 09 April 2018 Dear Chair, I write to request an opportunity for the victims, migration and human rights advocates, High Commissioners, and other concerned groups to have an interaction with members of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee on the situation facing some elderly Commonwealth-born residents in the UK. I write in part as a product of the Commonwealth as I was born in the UK to parents from India and Barbados. The situation is that these migrants from the Caribbean, and other Commonwealth countries, many of whom have been here since childhood, now, due to their irregular status, face the possibility of destitution, detention, and deportation. Based on information received from Migration Observatory at Oxford University we estimate there could be up to 50,000 Commonwealth-born persons in the UK who arrived before 1971 but do not have regularised status. The situation started with the call from Britain in the 1950s and 1960s to journey here to address labour shortages. Having left the Caribbean for the “Mother Country” as British Subjects, as the islands were still colonies, and having secured leave to remain and subsequently being educated, skilled, worked, taxed and levied in the UK, it never occurred to them that they were not legally British. The situation changed markedly in 2012, when the Home Office began systematic immigration checks. The real issue is that these long-term undocumented UK residents are not treated as anomalies to be regularised, but as “illegal immigrants” and barred from working and refused access to government services: the denial of NHS treatment, and loss of welfare benefits including housing benefits.
