State and International Law

An archipelagic state is a state constituted by one or more archipelagos and may include other islands.
Anticipatory self-defense is when the use of force in anticipation of an attack is deemed legal if made in good faith, depending on the circumstances of imminent danger.
Collective self-defense pertains to the right of states to come to the defense of another state whose situation meets the condition of legitimate individual self-defense (Article 51, UN Charter).
The right to existence and self-defense provides that a state may take measures, including the use of force, as necessary to counteract any danger to its existence (Article 51, UN Charter).

International Institutions and Economy

A corporation is a private institution that produces or manufactures goods, products, and services for a more expanded market, usually reaching regions of the world.
International Financial Institutions (IFIs) provide support through loans or grants and technical advice to promote a country's economic and social development (Bhargava, 2006: 393).
Globalism is an ideology based on the belief that the flow of people, goods, and information should flow freely across national borders (Roudometof, 2005).

Globalization and Governance

Horizontal integration occurs when a firm gains control of other firms performing similar marketing functions at the same level in the marketing sequence.

International Law and Refugees

International law regulates the relations of states and international persons.
States are entities that have rights and responsibilities under international law and have the capacity to maintain their rights by bringing international claims.
A refugee is a person who, owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, is outside the country of their nationality and is unable or unwilling to avail themselves of the protection of that country.
Salient rights of refugees include non-discrimination, wage-earning employment, free access to courts, duty of non-refoulement of states, self-employment, housing, freedom of religion, and others.

Discovery and occupation occur when a territory belonging to any state is placed under the sovereignty of the claiming state.
Prescription is when a territory is acquired through continuous and uninterrupted possession over a long period of time.
The right to legation pertains to the right of the state to send and receive diplomatic missions, which enables states to carry on friendly intercourse.
