The Role of the Highest Courts of the United States of America and South Africa, and the European Court of Justice in Foreign Affairs
Author: Riaan Eksteen
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9462652953
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 468
Book Description
This book deals with what the author considers a sorely neglected question, namely the role of the judiciary in states’ foreign policy processes. Eksteen argues that the impact of the judiciary on foreign affairs is understudied and that recognition of its role in foreign affairs is now due. This makes it a ground-breaking scholarly contribution that should first of all prove of value to students, scholars, researchers and practitioners in the two broad fields of politics and law for the wide scope of issues it covers and the very comprehensive reference lists it contains. Secondly, professionals working within politics, including members of the legislatures of the United States, the European Union and South Africa, as well as members of the judiciaries there, should find this book of benefit. A detailed examination has been undertaken of the role of the United States Supreme Court, the two high courts in South Africa, namely the Constitutional Court and the Supreme Court of Appeal, and the European Court of Justice of the European Union, in foreign affairs. The author substantiates the unmistakable fact that these Courts have become involved in and influence foreign affairs. Furthermore, that they have not shied away from using their judicial authority when dealing with cases touching on foreign affairs and especially presidential overreach. The lack of recognition of the judiciary’s role in foreign affairs is still noticeable in Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA) literature. This book concludes that FPA has to accept and give proper recognition to the judiciary and its increasing relevance in foreign affairs. Dr. Riaan Eksteen is a Former South African Ambassador residing in Namibia; from 1968-1973 he served at the South African Embassy in Washington D.C.; between 1976-1994, he subsequently served as Ambassador and Head of Mission at the U.N. in New York (1976-81), in Namibia (1990-91), at the U.N. in Geneva (1992-94), and in Turkey, with accreditation also to Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan (1995-97). He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Johannesburg in October 2018.

Christ’s Return and Today's Global Geopolitical Bombshells
Author: Dr. David Liang
Publisher: Elm Hill
ISBN: 0310102065
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Many people are eager to embrace Nostradamus and the Mayans while dismissing the Holy Bible’s prophecies. Yet the Bible (in Revelation chapter 4) promises: “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” Inspired by that promise, this principal author has gleaned decades of insight regarding global geopolitical events and what might take place toward the end of this world as we know it. In 1989 he predicted in a Chinese magazine, the possibility of German unification as an expression of the mixed iron-and-clay kingdom foreseen in Daniel chapter 2. The same prophecy suggests the intermingling of China with Taiwan, and North and South Korea. Back in 1989, this principal author also predicted that the U.S. would withdraw from Europe because the Bible speaks little of the U.S.’s role during Earth’s final hour. Chapter 1 of this book deals with doomsday (end of the world) bombshells with reference to notable scientists such as Stephen Hawking, Martin Rees, Frank Fenne, and Isaac Newton. Chapters 2 and 3 address the startling role reversal between the U.S., a former superpower now in retreat from the global scene, and a resurgent Russia — and the incredible role played by Vladimir Putin in both Russia and the U.S. Chapter 4 deals with the miraculous rebirth of Israel and the path toward a rebuilt Third Temple. Chapter 5 deals with Middle East bombshells, particularly the rise of radical Islamic-based entities and the Bible’s portrait of Babylon. Chapter 6 applies the aforementioned iron-and-clay-mixture analogy to the possible unification of China with Taiwan, and North and South Korea — including bombshell overtures between U.S. President Trump and North Korean leader Kim. Chapter 7 deals with China‘s ascent and applies a prophecy in Isaiah chapter 49 to the increasing number of Chinese Christians despite communism. Chapter 8 situates Brexit (‘Britain exiting the European Union,’ which this principal author foresaw) within the Biblical context of a future ten-kings coalition and the emergence of the antichrist. Finally, chapter 9 deals with Christ’s own statements of what geopolitical bombshells must take place leading up to his return to Earth. The Bible’s accuracy in predicting geopolitical events gives us reason to believe in its supernatural authority, and thus to believe its ultimate promise — that Jesus Christ will return to this world.
