SUMMARY:The proliferation of Chinese surveillance tools overseas: sovereignty\, resistance\, and debt
DESCRIPTION:The proliferation of Chinese surveillance tools overseas: sovereignty\, resistance\, and debt\nIn-person event \n\n\nThe heightened public and scholarly attention to Africa-China relations is chiefly inspired by the growing trade\, investment\, and aid between Beijing and the Global South. More specifically\, the research on digital surveillance in Africa focuses largely on the wide distribution of Chinese technology\, drawing attention to the fact that regime type is a poor predictor of the purchase and use of that technology. \nQuestions concerning how digital technologies work\, their high local demand\, and how they alter or do not alter state capacity have received far less study. More importantly\, though\, the literature that has already been written ignores an important paradox: if increased digital surveillance is wanted to support government authority because of its ability to police and administer\, it may also work against state sovereignty. \nIn the latter regard\, digital surveillance tools are embedded within processes that result in the privatization of the state. The outsourcing of its functions to Chinese tech giants\, like Huawei\, has transformed the government\, done within the context of a supposedly weak African state that seeks to ameliorate its inefficiencies\, in part\, into a holding company in the business of franchising out many operations\, including police services\, and hence much of its sovereignty. This is all done within the context of supposedly weak postcolonial states that seek to improve their states’ practical and technical inefficiencies. \nIn this presentation\, we explore how postcolonial states seek to use scientific knowledge and technology to scale state capacities. Accordingly\, it interrogates claims around China’s growing technological footprint\, the role of those technologies in emergent forms of state-corporate venture\, the nature of African developmental states\, and challenges to local data privacy. \nThis is the first event in the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law HDR/ECR series. \nAbout the speaker\nBulelani Jili is a Meta Research PhD fellow at Harvard University. His research interests include ICT development\, Africa-China relations\, cybersecurity\, post-colonial thought\, and privacy law. He is also a visiting fellow at Yale Law School\, a cybersecurity fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School\, a scholar-in-residence at the Electronic Privacy Information Center\, a visiting fellow at Hong Kong University Law\, a fellow at the Atlantic Council\, and a research associate at Oxford University. \nCommentator: Jose-Miguel Bello Villarino\, Sydney Law School \nModerator: Jie (Jeanne) Huang\, Sydney Law School \n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nThursday 8 August\, 2024\nTime: 11.30-12.30pm \nVenue: Law Lounge\, Level 1\, New Law Building\, Eastern Avenue\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus \n\n\n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> \nCPD Points = 1 point \nThis event is co-sponsored by the China Studies Centre and the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Protecting digital privacy while countering terrorism: A dialogue with two UN Special Rapporteurs
DESCRIPTION:Protecting digital privacy while countering terrorism: A dialogue with two UN Special Rapporteurs\nIn-person event \n\n\nJoin us for the unique opportunity at The University of Sydney Law School to participate in a dialogue between Prof. Ana Brian Nougrères\, UN Special Rapporteur on the right to privacy and Prof. Ben Saul\, UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism. \nAs our digital lives expand our exposure to the world and the need to counter terrorism does not decrease\, the use of public and private data by governments and agencies is becoming one of the key elements in the fight against terrorism. Boundaries about what is private and off-limits are becoming increasingly difficult to determine. Procedures to ensure that those limits are respected are even more challenging to enforce. Knowledge about how our data is used is progressively clouded by layers of systems and interventions. Differences among jurisdictions on what digital privacy entails in the anti-terrorism context in turn are more acute. \nIn a dialogue moderated by Dr. José-Miguel Bello y Villarino (U. Sydney/ADM+S CoE)\, Prof. Brian Nougrères and Prof. Saul will discuss the status quo\, the current debates and possible ways forward. \nAbout the speakers\nProf. Ana Brian Nougrères: In July 2021\, the Human Rights Council appointed Dr. Ana Brian Nougrères of Uruguay as the Special Rapporteur on the right to privacy and she took up the mandate on 1 August 2021. A Professor of Law\, Privacy and ICT at the School of Engineering\, University of Montevideo and a Professor of Law\, Data Protection and ICT at the School of Law\, University of the Republic\, Montevideo. She is also a practicing Attorney-at-law and Consultant on data protection. Her latest article\, The Uruguayan law system facing security breaches\, was published by LA LEY (Spain) in 2021. \nProf. Ben Saul: Since 1 November 2023\, Ben Saul has been the Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism. He is the Challis Chair of International Law at The University of Sydney and has expertise in public international law\, counter-terrorism law\, human rights and refugee law\, international humanitarian law\, and international criminal law. He has taught at Oxford\, Harvard\, The Hague and Xiamen Academies of International Law\, and in Europe and Asia; practised in international tribunals; advised governments\, NGOs and the United Nations; and worked on international law in over 35 countries. \nDr. José-Miguel Bello y Villarino: Senior Research Fellow at the Law School and the Institutions programme of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S). He is a member of the Diplomatic Corps of Spain (on leave) and previously worked in different capacities for the European Union. His current research focuses on regulatory approaches to ADM and Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, especially on how to deal with risks derived from the operation of AI systems from a comparative approach. In 2023 he received the Rita and John Cornforth Medal for Research Excellence at the University of Sydney\, for outstanding achievement in research; in 2022 the Scotiabank Global AI + Regulation Emerging Scholar Award (joint award) and in 2021 he was a Fulbright-Schuman scholar at the Harvard Law School. \n————————————————– \nThursday 15 August\, 2024\nTime: 11am-12pm \nVenue: Common Room\, Level 4\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1 point \n————————————————– \nThis event is proudly presented by the University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:Book launch | Regulation-Making in the United Kingdom and Australia: Democratic Legitimacy\, Safeguards And Executive Aggrandisement
DESCRIPTION:Book launch: Regulation-Making in the United Kingdom and Australia: Democratic Legitimacy\, Safeguards And Executive Aggrandisement\n\n\n(Hart Publishing\, 2024) \nIn-person event \nThe University of Sydney Law School is delighted to invite you to the launch of Regulation-Making in the United Kingdom and Australia: Democratic Legitimacy\, Safeguards And Executive Aggrandisement by Associate Professor Andrew Edgar. \nThis book examines the legal frameworks supporting the democratic legitimacy of regulation-making in the UK and Australia. It emphasises that parliamentary scrutiny of regulations provides the primary support\, supplemented by public consultation processes. Parliamentary scrutiny of regulation-making emerged in the twentieth century as the primary basis for the democratic legitimacy of regulations\, however recent developments avoid or minimise this safeguard. This book contributes to public law by analysing executive over-reach in regulation-making\, by reference to the historical development of parliamentary checks on regulation-making. \nFind out more about the book and order it online here. \nIf purchasing the book online from Bloomsbury\, use the code GLR AT5 for a 20% discount. \n\n\n\n\nAbout the author \nAndrew Edgar is an Associate Professor in the University of Sydney Law School. He specialises in administrative law and\, in particular\, on administrative law-making. His recent publications focus on regulation-making processes and review of regulations by parliaments and courts. Andrew also has research interests in statutory interpretation and the implementation of international law in domestic law. \nAbout the speaker \nSenator Paul Scarr was elected as a Senator for Queensland in 2019. He is the Chair of the Legal and Constitutional Affairs References Committee and is a long-term member of the Senate Scrutiny of Delegated Legislation Committee.

SUMMARY:JSI Seminar: 'The Little Commonweale of my poore thoughts': nature\, ownership\, Cosmography\, and the origins of the climate crisis in Richard Zouche\, 1613-63
DESCRIPTION:JSI Seminar: ‘The Little Commonweale of my poore thoughts’: nature\, ownership\, Cosmography\, and the origins of the climate crisis in Richard Zouche\, 1613-63\nIn-person event \nThis seminar examines Richard Zouche’s legal thought on ‘nature’ at some of the earliest origins of the climate crisis and the formation of international law. Zouche is usually remembered as the ‘father’ of international legal positivism for his 1656 treatise An Exposition of the Fecial Law and Procedure\, or of Law between Nations where he influentially introduced the term ‘jus inter gentes’ or law between peoples as the basis for his juridical system. In this work\, Zouche deals extensively with questions of ownership in war and peace. He describes a tripartite right for princes and peoples as ‘Plenary’\, ‘Hereditary’ or ‘merely Usufructuary’ rights both to holding power and property. He also deals with questions of sea jurisdiction and appropriation by occupation\, which he expanded on in his posthumous treatise on the Admiralty courts. \nMost significantly\, Zouche solidifies two major tenets of legal argumentation that provided the early architecture for claims and extraction that formed the early climate crisis. First was the ‘jus inter gentes’ formulation that allowed for international law to be developed by consent between princes and peoples\, referable to Augustinian concord but not bound by it or the law of nature. Second\, Zouche’s modernisation of the disputation format gave ‘both sides’ of each of these legal questions\, both obscuring Zouche’s own views and giving princes and lawyers a handbook with the argumentative structures for claiming and resisting legal disputes around ownership\, showing the vital importance of these legal questions in the early history of international law. But it is in Zouche’s juvenile cosmographical poem ‘The Dove’ (1613) that an early vision of the political economy of the world and the importance of sight and ordering — the main tools of positivism — were first announced through the circling of Noah’s dove. Zouche called this poem ‘the little Commonweale of my poore thoughts’. The Dove provides an early announcement of the foundational commitments that thread through Zouche’s major juridical works. Throughout these works\, Zouche’s engagement with nature and natural resources move quickly to questions of ownership and right\, revealing the function of law to connect early forms of extraction\, capitalism and empire. \nAbout the speaker\nMartin Clark is a lecturer at La Trobe Law School. His research focuses on the history of legal thought and international and public law. His work has been published in the Modern Law Review\, the British Yearbook of International Law\, the Leiden Journal of International Law and the Northern Ireland Legal Quarterly\, and he is finishing a book (with Dr Yoriko Otomo) on law and commodities\, Eating the World: A Global History of Law and Commodities (Counterpress). He was awarded his PhD in Law from the London School of Economics and Political Science in May 2020 for a thesis on the history of the ideas of ‘domestic’ and ‘international’ in British legal thought. At LSE he was a Judge Rosalyn Higgins Scholar and Modern Law Review Scholar (2018 and 2019). \nHe is an Editor at the London Review of International Law and Web Assistant at the Modern Law Review. Prior to joining La Trobe he was a Modern Law Review Postdoctoral Fellow\, a Visiting Fellow at the Institute for International Law and the Humanities at Melbourne Law School\, a Lecturer at UTAS Law\, where he taught contract and legal theory\, and a JD Teaching Fellow at Melbourne Law School\, where he taught contract \nThursday 29 August 2024\, 6-7.30pm AEST\nVenue: Level 4\, Common Room\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1.5 \nThis event is proudly presented by the Julius Stone Institute of Jurisprudence at The University of Sydney Law School.

SUMMARY:A new explanation of China's patenting phenomenon with a focus on the patenting of traditional medical knowledge
DESCRIPTION:A new explanation of China’s patenting phenomenon with a focus on the patenting of traditional medical knowledge\nIn-person event \n\n\nThis seminar will present how Dr Ben Hopper’s thesis explains why people are getting patents over traditional medical knowledge in a way that differs from (and adds to) the usual explanations for China’s “patent boom”. These “usual (explanatory) suspects” are based on State interference (patenting subsidies\, etc.)\, level of innovation and level of human capital. It will draw on his original fieldwork data comprising a survey of the approaches to patenting of 53 mostly ethnic minority traditional medical practitioners in China’s southwestern\, relatively poor and isolated province of Guizhou. The analysis of those data involved a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods. The seminar will conclude that a key (and\, thus far\, missing) ingredient in explaining patenting activity in China is the individual’s extent of marketisation\, with more marketised individuals having a statistically significant higher propensity to get patents and to obey patent laws. \n\nThis event is part of the PhD/ECR presentation series hosted by the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law. \n\nAbout the speaker\nDr Ben Hopper is a lecturer at Melbourne Law School. He teaches and researches in the areas of intellectual property\, traditional knowledge\, technology law\, civil procedure\, and legal ethics. He examines doctrinal developments in these areas of law\, with a focus on intellectual property law. His research uses empirical methods to illuminate the “living law”\, including people’s lived experiences of the law\, and legal subjectivity. He draws on both legal theory and broader social theory to explain the results of his empirical research. \nBen’s current research focus is China\, the locus of his PhD on patenting of traditional knowledge\, and where he has completed projects on geographical indications in the tea industry and internal migration in Xinjiang. He has a J.D.\, B.A. (Hons)\, and D-Lang (German) from the University of Melbourne\, and an LL.M. from Harvard University. \nCommentator: Dr Olugbenga Olatunji (University of Sydney Law School) \n————————————————– \nMonday 2 September\, 2024\nTime: 1-2pm \nVenue: Common Room\, Level 4\, New Law Building (F10)\, Eastern Avenue\, University of Sydney\, Camperdown campus \nCPD Points: 1 point \n————————————————— \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Centre for Asian and Pacific Law and the Ross Parsons Centre.

SUMMARY:Book launch | Research Methods in Private International Law: Educating the Next Generation of Conflicts Lawyers
DESCRIPTION:Book launch | Research Methods in Private International Law: Educating the Next Generation of Conflicts LawyersOnline event\n\n\n\n\n\nResearch Methods in Private International Law: A Handbook on Regulation\, Research\, and Teaching\n\nThis incisive research handbook provides valuable insights into the various methodological approaches to Private International Law from regulatory and educational perspectives. It comprehensively unpacks central themes in the field including international jurisdiction\, recognition and enforcement\, and scrupulously analyses core debates whilst addressing legislative and policy issues.\n\nIn collaboration with the editors Xandra Kramer (Erasmus School of Law/Utrecht University) and Laura Carballo Piñeiro (University of Vigo)\, this online book launch will feature contributions from eminent speakers\, focusing on global insights in teaching Private International Law.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers and discussion topics\n\n\nLaura Carballo Piñeiro/Xandra Kramer\n\nMethods in private international law are not only important for the purpose of regulation and research\, but also for societal and educational purposes. To continue developing and fulfil its regulatory and societal functions\, private international law requires the nurturing of strong scholarship and thus research on creating a suitable learning environment for it to be diversified. Highlighting perspectives from university teaching in different countries\, laypersons\, colonialism\, and feminism enriches the development of private international law and increases awareness of its role as a global governance tool.\n\nVeronica Ruiz Abou-Nigm\n\nPrivate international law matters for everybody. Why then is it perceived to be so marginal? We identify three distorted perceptions: irrelevance\, impenetrability\, and indifference. Private international law is considered to be irrelevant\, because relevant decisions are taken in substantive law. It is considered impenetrable because many of its doctrines appear strange and general intuition offers little guidance towards the correct solution. And it seems indifferent to questions of values and questions of political economy. We address each of these perceptions in turn. We demonstrate that private international law\, far from being irrelevant\, is an indispensable part of private law. Whoever wants to make full use of private law must think of private international law as well. We suggest that private international law can seem impenetrable because it requires a whole different way of thinking: thinking between legal orders. Lawyers and non-lawyers alike are used to thinking within one order that is relatively coherent. That thinking is of little help in resolving issues that take place in-between such coherent orders. And we describe what we view as the ethical minimum of private international law: responsivity\, cultural humility\, and intercultural competence. These attitudes\, which are not confined to the law\, raise the possibility that private international law could teach something of relevance to everyone beyond its own disciplinary boundaries. Putting these insights in practice can\, we hope\, be transformative towards Private International Law for Everyone.\n\nRamani Garimella\n\nThe human catastrophe witnessed in Bhopal\, India\, remains pertinent for the domain of private international law. The US court ruled against the forum’s jurisdiction as being forum non conveniens and return it for the jurisdiction of India’s courts. Adherence to a formalist/positivist approach that believed in the public-private distinction allowed the court to avoid a discussion on the immense public interests that were involved in the suit. Such approach dwarfed the nature and magnitude of loss for the victims and demonstrated how far the ideas of territoriality and jurisdiction moved away from the notion of ‘unified international law’. The author suggests revisiting this distinction from a methodological perspective – historicity – to understand the reasons for the survival of this distinction\, especially in the third world countries as a vestige of the colonial law. This research\, exemplifying through India\, explores the zealous adherence to the colonial law on the rules of private international law including the methodology of the domain\, and the absence of any significant local contribution to the domain. The research argues that the distinction emerged as an expression of the positivist international law (often non-representative/non-participative) that had helped further the legitimation of colonialism. The research suggests a historicity-based methodology for identifying the domain’s content so as to ensure a justice-centric regime that takes note of the rights of the victims of human error.\n\nChukwama Okoli/Abubakri Yekini\n\nMany African countries aim to capitalise on globalization to enhance cross-border trade and commerce. This necessitates an effective private international law framework to resolve frictions that inherent in cross-border transactions. While scholarly work often focuses on PIL’s role in facilitating cross-border trade\, the teaching of PIL and the preparedness of budding lawyers to tackle modern issues have been largely overlooked. This chapter addresses this gap by examining the effectiveness of PIL education in Nigeria. Through empirical research involving questionnaires administered to 75 undergraduate students from seven universities\, the study provides insights into the current curriculum and teaching methodologies. The findings suggest that existing approaches are inadequate for producing transnational lawyers equipped with the necessary hands-on skills. The paper recommends a multi-method teaching approach\, with a strong emphasis on clinical education and comparative law.\n\nAukje van Hoek\n\nAn inventory of (online) course descriptions of courses in private international law at different European universities show a diversity in approaches to teaching PIL. Which choices are made when developing a specific course\, will depend on the staff teaching the course and the wider ‘Umfeld’ in which the course is situated. Three approaches will be discussed and put in context.\n\nModerator: Dr. Jie (Jeanne) Huang\, Co-chair of ASIL PIL Interest Group and Associate Professor at the University of Sydney Law School.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the book\nResearch Methods in Private International Law- A Handbook on Regulation\, Research and Teaching\n\nEdited by Xandra Kramer\, Professor of Private Law\, Erasmus School of Law\, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Professor of Private International Law\, Utrecht University\, the Netherlands and Laura Carballo Piñeiro\, Professor of Private International Law\, Universidade de Vigo\, Spain.\n\n\n\n\n\n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>\nMonday 23 September 2024\nTime: 6pm-7.30pm AEST  \nYou will receive Zoom details closer to the date of the webinar. \nCPD points = 1.5\n\n>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>\n\n\n\nThis event is jointly presented by the American Society of International Law Private International Law Interest Group and the University of Sydney Law School.
