THE TERRITORIAL SOVEREIGNTY OVER ALASKA, THE ARCTIC ISLANDS OF THE SOVIET UNION, SVALBARD, GREENLAND AND THE CANADIAN ARCTIC ARCHIPELAGO POSES NO PROBLEM, BUT THE CONTINENTAL SHELF OFF THOSE TERRITORIES AND ISLANDS HAS YET TO BE DELIMITED BETWEEN THE FIVE ARCTIC STATES: ALASKA, THE SOVIET UNION, NORWAY, DENMARK AND CANADA. THE ARCTIC OCEAN BEING A SEMI-ENCLOSED SEA, BORDERING STATES SHOULD COOPERATE UNDER THE NEW LAW OF THE SEA CONVENTION IN THE EXPLOITATION OF THE LIVING RESOURCES, THE PROTECTION OF THE MARINE ENVIRONMENT AND THE CONDUCT OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. THIS COOPERATION COULD BEST BE ATTAINED BY THE CREATION OF AN ARCTIC BASIN COUNCIL COMPOSED OF ALL ARCTIC STATES AND, POSSIBLY, THE NORDIC COUNTRIES. NOTE: ARTICLE IS PRINTED IN FRENCH

National sovereignty, defined as a nation's right to exercise its own law and practise over its territory, is a cherished norm in the modern era, and yet it raises great legal, political and ethical dilemmas. This study looks at the problems created by international intervention.

In this thought-provoking book, leading experts explore why international entrepreneurship is important to the life sciences industry. From multi-disciplinary and cross-national perspectives, they question why international entrepreneurship scholars might usefully invest interest in research focused on one specific industry context. -- The book addresses contemporary challenges of relevance to life science firms and draws on leading-edge debates in international entrepreneurship research. Topics include: the nature of the born-global firm; the development of international capabilities and competencies; the role of local and international partnerships and alliances; competitiveness, opportunity recognition and orientation; and the role of specialized complementary assets in internationalization. It concludes by proposing an agenda for future research across the underpinning fields of innovation, entrepreneurship and internationalization. -- This book will prove a stimulating read for academics, students and researchers with an interest in international business, management and entrepreneurship, as well as for practitioners in the health professions or life sciences academics who are, or may become, entrepreneurs.

This paper analyses the effects of tariffs on an international economy with a monopolistic sector with two firms, located in two countries, each one producing a homogeneous good for both home consumption and export to the other identical country. We consider a game among governments and firms. First, the government imposes a tariff on imports and then we consider the two types of moving: simultaneous (Cournot-type model) and sequential (Stackelberg-type model) decisions by the firms. We also compare the results obtained in each model. ; ESEIG and Polytechnic Institute of Porto

International audience ; Economic development is sustainable when it improves the living conditions of everyone without jeopardising the development potential of future generations. In this context, the security of people and nations is an essential component of sustainable development. This security is obviously not limited to the military sector alone, especially since the question arises as to whether investment in national defence does not sometimes constitute a brake on sustainable development, the famous choice between butter and butter. Furthermore, a disarmament procedure does not immediately lead to a peace dividend, as the cost of obsolescence of military capital is high and poses economic problems for the personnel and regions concerned. Finally, 'sustainable' development is necessarily peaceful, which also implies a reduction in social and international inequalities. ; Un développement économique est soutenable lorsqu'il permet à la fois d'améliorer les conditions de vie de chacun, sans remettre en cause le potentiel de développement des générations futures. Dans ce contexte, la sécurité des personnes et des Nations constitue une composante essentielle d'un développement durable. Cette sécurité ne se limite évidemment pas au seul secteur militaire, d'autant que la question se pose de savoir si l'investissement dans la défense nationale ne constitue pas parfois un frein au développement soutenable, le fameux choix entre le beurre et le canon. En outre, une procédure de désarmement ne conduit pas immédiatement à des dividendes de la paix, car le coût de l'obsolescence du capital militaire est élevé et pose des problèmes économiques aux personnels et aux régions concernées. Enfin, un développement « soutenable » est nécessairement pacifique, ce qui implique aussi une réduction des inégalités sociales et internationales.
