New Frontiers in EU Trade Policy: Moving Beyond Conventional Trade Agreements
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As the rules‐based international trading system faces stagnation and increasing unilateralism, the European Union's trade policy must evolve beyond conventional free trade agreements (FTAs). This article examines recent trends in EU trade agreements, highlighting not only their expanded scope to include areas such as digital trade ...

Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Philip Morris lawsuits against Australia and Uruguay in the early 2010s highlighted the need to reform international investment agreement (IIA) practices to ensure that governments do not give up their regulatory autonomy for foreign investment. We undertook a policy analysis to reveal how interests, ideas and institutions shaped reform in

A Review on the Application of Inerters in Vehicle Suspension Systems
MachinesThe inerter is a device that produces a force proportional to the relative acceleration of both inerter terminals. When combined with springs and dampers in a vehicle suspension system, it forms an inerter–spring–damper (ISD) suspension.

Western Balkans as the Frontline of Russian Hybrid Warfare
Global Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hybrid warfare (HW) scholarship acknowledges the phenomenon's contextual and temporal specificity, yet its dominant conceptual framing has generated a literature largely centred on identifying and categorising hybrid activities. This focus has left the contextual vulnerabilities that enable hybrid threats (HTs) and shape an adversary's ...

Passive Skyhook Suspension Reduction for Improvement of Ride Comfort in an Off-Road Vehicle
IEEE Access, 2019 With the use of Routh stability criterion and Pade approximation technique to simplify the passive skyhook damping suspension system, a full-car model involving the reduced-order ISD suspension was established for the analysis of ride comfort.

Information systems development projects as complex adaptive systems [PDF]
, 2012 This research considers information systems development (ISD) projects as complex adaptive systems. We investigate the question whether complex adaptive systems (CAS) theory is relevant as a theoretical foundation for understanding ISD, and if so, which ...

Field Effect Transistors on Rubrene Single Crystals with Parylene Gate Insulator
, 2002 We report on fabrication and characterization of the organic field effect transistors (OFETs) on the surface of single crystals of rubrene. The parylene polymer film has been used as the gate insulator. At room temperature, these OFETs exhibit the p-type
