providing global public goods under uncertainty
Journal of Public Economics, 2010Co-Authors: Vincent Boucher, Yann BramoulleAbstract:Abstract We study how uncertainty and risk aversion affect International Agreements to supply global public goods. We consider a benchmark model with homogeneous countries and linear payoffs. When countries directly contribute to a public good, uncertainty tends to lower signatories' efforts but may increase participation. Despite risk aversion, uncertainty may improve welfare. In contrast, when countries try to reduce a global public bad, uncertainty tends to increase signatories' efforts and decrease participation. In that case, an ex-ante reduction of uncertainty may have a large positive multiplier effect on welfare.

does a change of government influence compliance with International Agreements empirical evidence for the nato two percent target
Defence and Peace Economics, 2019Co-Authors: Johannes Blum, Niklas PotrafkeAbstract:We examine whether changes of government influence compliance with International Agreements. We investigate compliance with the NATO two percent target to which all NATO countries committed themselves during the NATO summit in Wales in 2014. The dataset includes the military expenditure by NATO countries over the period 2010–2018. The results suggest that countries that do not (yet) comply with the two percent target have smaller growth rates in military expenditure relative to GDP when they experienced a large change of government, e.g. a change from a rightwing to a leftwing government, than countries that did not experience such a large change of government since the NATO summit in 2014. Countries that experienced a large change of government are, thus, less likely to comply with the two percent target. Future research should examine the credibility problem of national governments in other International Agreements too.

the global health law trilogy towards a safer healthier and fairer world
The Lancet, 2017Co-Authors: Lawrence O Gostin, Mary C Debartolo, Rebecca KatzAbstract:Summary Global health advocates often turn to medicine and science for solutions to enduring health risks, but law is also a powerful tool. No state acting alone can ward off health threats that span borders, requiring International solutions. A trilogy of global health law—the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, International Health Regulations (2005), and Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework—strives for a safer, healthier, and fairer world. Yet, these International Agreements are not well understood, and contain gaps in scope and enforceability. Moreover, major health concerns remain largely unregulated at the International level, such as non-communicable diseases, mental health, and injuries. Here, we offer reforms for this global health law trilogy.

the role of treaties Agreements conventions and other International instruments in global health
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2011Co-Authors: Jennifer Kates, Rebecca KatzAbstract:As nations become more reliant on each other for cohesive development of global health policies and practice, and globalization increasingly makes health challenges in one part of the world concerns for all nations, the importance and use of International Agreements in framing policy and national commitments have increased. This article reviews International Agreements, looking specifically at multilateral instruments or partnerships, to identify those that either directly focus on or encompass health. It defines the different types of Agreements, describes the process through which governments enter into these Agreements, evaluates the legality of Agreements under International law, and assesses participation by member states.

external representation of the european union in the conclusion of International Agreements
Common Market Law Review, 2012Co-Authors: Mauro Gatti, Pietro ManziniAbstract:From a political viewpoint, the external representation of the European Union is an extremely sensitive topic, affecting the visibility and role of European institutions and Member States on the International scene. From a legal perspective, this topic is particularly challenging, since the EU Treaties, as amended by the Lisbon reform, are not completely straightforward in this regard. Such combination of political sensitivity and legal uncertainty renders the Union's representation very contentious. This area has therefore seen not-so-hidden "turf wars" that damaged the image and effectiveness of the EU's external action. The article analyses the issue of the Union's representation with respect to the conclusion of International instruments and, in particular, International Agreements. This topic has been profoundly affected by the Lisbon reform, which explicitly provides that the European Commission and the High Representative shall ensure the Union's external representation, in non-CFSP and CFSP areas, respectively (Arts. 17 and 27 TEU). This reform seems to enhance the consistency and unity of the Union's representation and of the Union's ability to carry out effective negotiations, by fostering the self-representation of the Union, with the exclusion of any role previously held by Member States and the rotating Presidency.. The analysis brings to light the two factors preventing the reform from fully achieving its objectives in practice. First, Member States sometimes favour the mixed form of International Agreements, even when it would not appear to be strictly necessary. Secondly, Member States seem not to fully accept the consequences of the Treaties' reform and often rely on pre-Lisbon practices, which no longer have any legal ground.
