The Uneven Distribution of Children’s Rights
Authors: Wyness Michael 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The discourse on children’s rights has reconceptualised children and childhood in terms of human integrity and ontology. However, there are ongoing questions over its universal applicability. In this paper I offer a critical examination of children’s rights, focusing on the uneven distribution rather than universal spread of rights which dominates the discourse. The paper focuses on educational rights in terms of frames of reference that limit children’s access to rights, including mass compulsory schooling, futurity and discursive forms of participation. Drawing on the illustrative case of young carers in England, the paper argues this critical conception of schooling restricts children’s access to formal education, marginalising their material and emotional contributions to their families and communities. In the final section I explore an alternative framework, children’s ‘living rights’ within which to understand the work that young carers undertake and thus improve access to their rights.
Syriac Spells for a Mill and Their Historical Context
Authors: Cherkashina Anna , Cherkashin Dmitry , Saar Ortal-Paz 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This article considers a text-unit known in five Syriac codices and consisting of up to three magical recipes. The target of all these recipes is a mill: two of them are curses (ˀassārā ‘binding spell’) and intend to stop the mill, while the third one is a counter-spell (šeryānā ‘loosening spell’), which aims to annul the curse. One of the two binding spells includes a rare example of an Arabic incantation written in Garshuni. The main purpose of this article is to make these texts available via critical editions. In addition, light is shed on the broader context of magical practices, by drawing attention to Syriac recipes for an oven and their Jewish parallels, and by presenting two Jewish parallels of spells related to a mill: a Judaeo-Arabic text from the Cairo Genizah and a spell from a Byzantine manuscript. We offer a reconsideration of the interpretation of the Judaeo-Arabic text, as our reading differs from that of the Editio Priceps.

Authors: Krausmüller Dirk 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This brief note seeks to cast light on the sources that Arius used in his writings. The first part focuses on Scripture and the second part on philosophical texts. Two passages will be analysed, the first part of the creedal letter to bishop Alexander of Alexandria, and one section of the hymnic Thalia.
How Salome Seduced Constantius II on Stage
Authors: Schulz Fabian 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Athanasius, the bishop of Alexandria, was a master of invective. In this paper, I want to take a closer look at the negative representation of Arian bishops and emperor Constantius II in the Historia Arianorum through a close reading of a key passage that is often quoted, but rarely discussed in detail (chapter 52). I want to highlight how Athanasius supercharges his representation with references to the past, to drama and to the bible. This topic is indebted to recent scholarship on Athanasius and his polemics, which it hopes to enrich by highlighting Athanasius’ allusiveness and influence. Occasionally I will draw on Athanasius’ earlier works to show how his line of argument developed and refer to other authors who either took over his image or held different views. This paper contributes to the ongoing study of invective, which was so prominent in the religious sphere.
Hugo Grotius’s De iure belli ac pacis: A Report on the Worldwide Census of the Fourth Edition (1632, Janssonius)
Authors: Corredera Edward Jones , Dufour Pablo Nicolas , Muschel Lara , Salerno Emanuele , Twining Timothy , Somos Mark 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This is the fourth instalment of our census and study of the reception of the first nine editions of De iure belli ac pacis. Here we focus on the two versions that Johannes Janssonius issued in 1632, one with a copy of Mare liberum attached to it. This report outlines the place of the 1632 Janssonius edition in the context of his long-running rivalry with the printer Willem Blaeu and his firm. It then explores the typographical differences between the two issues, their causes, and their significance for our understanding of the reception of the text. Finally, it provides the preliminary results of the census concerning the circulation and provenance of the fifty-three copies of this edition that we have found. We hope that this research note on the preliminary results will attract interest in this edition and that readers will kindly inform us of further copies.
Les fragments d’Avicenne dans la traduction arabo-latine de la Rhétorique d’Aristote par Hermann l’Allemand
Authors: Woerther Frédérique , Celli Gaia 
Published: December 2022

Résumé
L’utilisation d’Avicenne par Hermann l’Allemand dans sa traduction latine de la version arabe de la Rhétorique d’Aristote, brièvement mentionnée par William Boggess, a été longuement étudiée et évaluée par Gaia Celli dans deux publications de 2012 et 2017, dans la perspective d’une réédition de la Rhétorique du Šifāʾ qui prendra en compte une variété et un nombre plus conséquents de manuscrits arabes. La présente contribution s’inscrit dans la logique et la lignée de deux études précédentes, dédiées à l’utilisation par Hermann d’al-Fārābī et d’Averroès, dans sa traduction arabo-latine de la Rhétorique. Il s’agit en effet, tout d’abord, de présenter pour la première fois l’édition arabo-latine des fragments et témoignages d’Avicenne dans la traduction d’Hermann, à partir des deux témoins conservés de ce texte, et en lui adjoignant un second apparat critique pointant les écarts entre cette version latine et le texte d’Avicenne tel qu’il a été édité par Sālim. Il s’agit ensuite d’évaluer le recours d’Hermann dans ce même texte à Avicenne, en le comparant à la façon dont Hermann a recouru au Grand commentaire d’al-Fārābī à la Rhétorique d’une part, et au Commentaire moyen d’Averroès à la Rhétorique d’autre part, afin de caractériser plus précisément la pratique d’Hermann – une pratique qui déborde en effet bien largement ce que l’on entend aujourd’hui par le simple terme de « traduction ». Il s’agit enfin, à partir de l’édition des fragments d’Avicenne dans la traduction latine d’Hermann d’une part, et des avancements qui ont été récemment réalisés dans la connaissance de la transmission manuscrite d’Avicenne, de proposer une esquisse de reconstruction stemmatique de la tradition de la Rhétorique du Šifāʾ et, dans un dernier temps, de tenter d’isoler la place que tient la source arabe d’Hermann dans cette tradition.
Ungedruckte Briefe (1618, 1653–1661) des jungen Heidelberger Hofsekretärs bzw. des alten pfälzischen Dichters und zweibrückischen Hofrats und Präfekten Balthasar Venator (1594–1664)
Authors: Kühlmann Wilhelm 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The letters edited here do complete the Gesamtausgabe (Heidelberg 2001) of Balthasar Venator’s works and letters. The author was a friend of Martin Opitz, scholar, poet, biographer, satirist and high ranking court counsellor and prefect of Meisenheim in Pfalz-Zweibrücken. The first three letters to the Heidelberg Professor Janus Gruter (written around 1618) are edited, translated and commented. In addition, this edition presents letters from Venators late period to the friend and pastor Johann Adam Michaelis (written 1653–1661). The early letters shed a light on the scholarly atmosphere before the big war, the later ones illustrate familiar and local events, they also show Venator as writer of the Dukes diplomatic correspondence and as translator. Thus, mentalities within the administrative elite of the princely state are being documented. Venators report of – sometimes comical – court cases show the genuine calvinistic cooperation of secular law and clerical Sittenzucht.
comaw Staff and hms Fearless 1982
Authors: Parr Helen 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Combatant memoirs are a valuable source for historians of conflict in general and of the Falklands War in particular, revealing experiences of war that would otherwise be beyond recovery. This chapter provides a previously unpublished memoir (written in 2006) of the Falklands War by Lieutenant Commander Michael Ambler (d. 2009), who served on the staff of Commodore Michael Clapp on hms Fearless. Included in the footnotes are entries from the diary kept by the author day by day during the course of the war. The memoir is introduced by Professor Helen Parr, who places the account in the broader context of autobiographical writings on the Falklands War and draws attention to its potential value as a primary source for historians of conflict.
In the Eye(s) of the Storm(s): Álvaro Semedo, an Observer of Two Dynastic Transitions in the Global Crisis of the 17th Century
Authors: Pina Isabel Murta 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
It is certainly uncommon for a seventeenth-century observer to have borne witness to two dynastic transitions in places as far apart as the opposite corners of Eurasia – the Iberian Peninsula and China. Álvaro Semedo, a Portuguese Jesuit, is one such case. He was in Madrid, when news arrived that the Portuguese had proclaimed a national king in 1640, bringing sixty years of Iberian Union to an end. Semedo returned to China in 1645, one year after the Qing had taken Peking. In 1650, he witnessed first-hand the siege and reconquest of Canton by the Qing. This article aims to explore the political transition in China through the eyes of a European missionary who had already been caught by the breakup of the Habsburg empire. How did he position himself in both dynastic transitions? What comparisons did he make? Was he aware of the “global crisis”? These are some of the questions that will be addressed.
Craftsmen Working for Kangxi: the “Invention of Curious Things” by the Jesuits Gabriel de Magalhães (1609–1677) and Tomás Pereira (1646–1708)
Authors: Pereira Coutinho Maria João 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This essay focuses on the strategy followed by two Jesuits from the Portuguese Padroado, Gabriel de Magalhães and Tomás Pereira, to remain at the court in Beijing at a time when the effects of ethnic and cultural clashes between Han and Manchus were felt, as were those of the natural disasters that devastated China and battered its economy. While the first excelled as a locksmith, the second, who called himself a craftsman, had the ability to draw and could build musical instruments, write music and teach to play instruments. Both managed to create works reconciling art and mechanics, which greatly impressed the Kangxi Emperor. These objects were visually appealing, but they also showed the knowledge these Jesuits active in Beijing had about some European treatises on art and mechanics, namely in the area of hydraulics. By adapting European forms and techniques to Chinese materials both men met Kangxi’s plan of a dynasty open to other cultures, while assuring the “peaceful coexistence” of Jesuits in China, in an age marked by climate change and ethnic clashes.
An Ecosystem Approach in International Environmental Law Relevant to Transboundary Freshwater Ecosystems
Authors: Moynihan Magsig Ruby 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
A global water crisis with far-reaching and interconnected impacts threatens the world. Healthy ecosystems are degrading, and access to a sustainable water supply is increasingly inequitable within and between States. The ecosystem approach has emerged as a concept to transform ecosystem management and prioritise equitable participation and outcomes for vulnerable societies but its normative content and international legal status remain unclear. This paper draws from international environmental and human rights law to ask what are the normative elements of an ecosystem approach in the context of international law relevant to transboundary freshwater ecosystems and what is the added value of an ecosystem approach for water law? It then explores the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) environmental instruments as a structurally distinct regime and demonstrates how the regime provides the strongest clarification of an ecosystem approach in international water law. Finally, it demonstrates how the ecosystem approach stimulates mutual supportiveness between different areas of international law.
Skating on Thin Ice: The Human Right to Water in Investor-State Dispute Settlement
Authors: Marisi Flavia 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
In a number of investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS) cases between the 2000s and the 2010s, a tension arose between the State’s duty to protect its inhabitants by means of policy measures aimed at safeguarding the environment and human health, ensuring that people can enjoy clean, available, and affordable water, and the State’s commitment to protect foreign direct investment under international investment treaties. This paper discusses the right to water as acknowledged by international agreements and United Nations Resolutions, retraces the evolution of foreign direct investment in water services management, examines the interests at stake in investment disputes, and suggests options for balancing the rights of investors and the right to water.
Improving Joint Operation System of Reservoir Groups in the Yangtze River Basin: A Legal Discussion
Authors: Qiu Qiu , Dai Liping , Van Rijswick Helena F.M.W. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
As China’s largest river basin, the Yangtze River Basin has the most mega reservoir groups worldwide. To protect the entire basin, the Central Government developed a system of joint operations of key reservoir groups in the Yangtze River Basin. This paper examines this joint operation system from a legal perspective and discusses its implementation as well as the challenges in practice. The following issues impede the effective implementation of the joint operation system: a lacking legal basis for the system, limitations related to the organizations that participate in the joint operations, limitations on the scope and objects of the joint operation system, and a lacking systematic structure for operation. This paper offers suggestions to improve the system.
Not One Inch, Unless It Is from Lisbon to Vladivostok
Authors: Mirra Carl 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
A careful evaluation of recent history illustrates that the claim that US and NATO expansion threatens Moscow’s existence is an exaggeration. That Russia would inflate fears of NATO to pursue its global aspirations is understandable. What is less comprehensible is the degree to which influential Western thinkers, particularly on the anti-imperial US left, have promoted this narrative. This paper will examine the work of prominent US anti-imperial leftists who view the Russo-Ukrainian war through a US-centric lens, a conceptual framework that distorts the historical record. It will first document how these commentators’ explanatory models give outsized attention to US maneuvers, while neglecting regional fault lines, Russian irredentism and historical nuance. Consequently, many US anti-imperial leftists conclude that the US/NATO alliance is to blame for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This paper will explore Russia-NATO interactions and Moscow’s imperial discourse to demonstrate that the blame NATO stance obfuscates the historical record.
The Creation of States as a Cardinal Point: James Crawford’s Contribution to International Legal Scholarship
Authors: Green Alex 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This paper argues that The Creation of States in International Law discloses a unique mode of engaging in international legal reasoning, which belies James Crawford’s self-avowed legal positivism. That method is characterised by three methodological commitments, each of which is representative of Crawford’s broader legal thought. Undertaking a self-consciously normative form of interpretive excavation, the paper contends that Crawford was committed to: 1) cautious optimism about the determinacy of international law; 2) the value of nuance and context when making legal judgements; and 3) the normative importance of humanity as a heuristic principle. It then establishes these commitments as interpretive guidelines that can be used to analyse emergent legal problems. The paper concludes with consideration of the threat posed to Small Island States by rising sea levels, arguing that the spirit of Crawford’s intellectual contribution supports their legal resilience and survivability.
Common Features of the Right to Property and International Investments: Evidence from the use of ECtHR Case-law in Investment Tribunals’ Decisions
Authors: Ruoppo Roberto 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The use of the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (“ECtHR”) by arbitral tribunals represents a very common practice in investment arbitration. In particular guarantees provided for by Article 1 of Protocol 1 to the European Convention on Human Rights (“echr”) are often referred to in arbitral proceedings in order to clarify bilateral investment treaties’ (“bit s”) provisions because of their broad meaning, such as, for example, the expropriation and the fair and equitable treatment standards. Although this cross-reference is widespread, the legal grounds that allow the application of echr provisions in arbitral proceedings seem to be quite unexplored in the scholarly debate. The aim of this work is to analyze the different tools that have been used to this purpose, namely the systemic interpretation and analogical reasoning, explaining why the latter seems to be the most meaningful one. Since its application naturally implies the existence of common features between the different legal rules at stake, its employment represents a clear evidence of the similarities shared by the right to property and international investments. Patrimonial rights in international law share the same demand of protection, because of the power imbalance suffered by the owner or the investor in respect of State authorities. This acknowledgment can be useful in order to encourage ECtHR case-law application by arbitral tribunals, implementing investors’ protection and reducing the uncertainty of bit s’ provisions.

Conceptual Coinage, the Untranslatable, and the Role of Metaphors in the Work of Hans Blumenberg
Authors: Lara María Pía 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
One would suspect that someone who was so interested on conceptual coinage, would be less interested on that which cannot be translated. Actually, both dimensions are so interconnected that, it is only because of learning about how to coin concepts, that we are able to understand how much is left out from the concept, and how, if it possesses some sort of ambiguity, we may need other tools such as metaphors, which allow more space for the untranslatable. Ambiguity is their main feature. Thanks to Hans Blumenberg’s work, we can actually learn to understand what is left in between metaphors, and in the process of how some of them can turn them into concepts, while others remain forever as metaphors. In the historical spaces of the before and the after, and only by acknowledging that the pre-conceptual lays in our lifesworld (Lebenswelt), and which is also the frame for these untraceable dimensions. We can say that there is only an indirect way to approach these spaces and how we can work them is through the connection between language and history. Explaining this specific dynamic is the subject of this paper.
Constitutional Imagination Between the Force of Images and the Power of Names
Authors: Oklopcic Zoran 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Irrespective of the growing awareness of the importance of imagination, those interested in imagination as an activity are bound to be disappointed by the lack of the actionable advice on how to actually engage in the activity of imagining in a more conscious and, hopefully productive manner. While I am still convinced that the study of constitutional imagination won’t get very far without a more systematic and comprehensive speculation on the features of imagination in action, in the time that has passed since the publication of my book I also came to realize that such an endevour, must take into account the aspects of constitutional imagination which are specific both to the forms that mediate it, as well as to the formats and formulations, on which constitutional scholars rely on in communicating the content of their mental images. With this in mind, I approach the highly stimulating comments of my four colleagues below.
Neo-liberal ideology and the New World: An Interview with Marcel Gauchet
Authors: Doyle Natalie J. , Gauchet Marcel 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This interview was initiated by Natalie J. Doyle in Paris, a few months only after the publication in 2017 of Le nouveau monde, the last volume of Marcel Gauchet’s four volume history of liberal democracy, published over the course of ten years. It was then continued via email over the course of the following four years.
Le nouveau monde offers a wide-ranging historical and theoretical analysis of the contemporary crisis of Western liberal-democratic culture on which the 2020 pandemic has thrown more light because of the neo-authoritarian management of the heath crisis in the Western world. In 2021, it was thus seen necessary to extend the interview to include questions about this reassertion of the political in Western societies but in an illiberal form.

Systematic Review on Chinese Special Education and Inclusive Education: China's Solution in Globalization
Authors: Zhang (张冲) Chong , Miao (苗小燕) Xiaoyan 
Published: December 2022

Purpose This study provides a comprehensive review of the highlights and developmental trends in special education in China over the past decade. Design/Approach/Methods CiteSpace was used to analyze 1,564 academic papers published in the Chinese Journal of Special Education ( CJSE), the only academic journal focusing on special education in China. Findings Analysis revealed that the research highlights covered areas of special education governance, inclusive education (including learning in regular classrooms), teachers and the curriculum, the traditional “three basic disability types,” and the newly recognized category of Special Education Needs (SEN). The scope of research has expanded from a limited range of disability types to a wide range of SEN, policymaking has accelerated the development of China's special education, and curriculum reform has played a key role in facilitating the integration of general and special education systems. Originality/Value The published papers fully reflect international frontier research in the field of inclusive education over the past decade, revealing the discursive system and practice mode of inclusive education with Chinese characteristics.
