Complex Dispute Resolution

本書以日出為線索，描繪世界如何在不同地方迎接同一個早晨。故事從熟悉的生活場景出發，逐步拉遠視角，讓讀者看見各地孩子在不同時刻醒來、生活、等待光亮。文字簡潔卻富有層次，引導孩子理解時間、距離與循環的概念。當故事回到最初的孩子，讀者也完成了一次繞行世界的想像之旅。插畫風格寬廣而溫暖，讓每一次翻頁都像迎接新的清晨。Where does the sunrise begin? Douglas Wood asks this question in the style that has made him an internationally bestselling author. He answers it by focusing on the world of one child, then moving to another child’s world farther away, and then yet still farther, to the ends of the Earth, before bringing the text back to its starting point. Stunning artwork provides a beautiful sweeping look at a world that is simple yet complex, one in which the sun always rises to reveal a new day, a new life, and a new chance.

★ 從達文西到當代建築，揭開「互承結構」千年不墜的設計奧祕★ 結構力學 × 幾何美感 × 空間創意，一本看懂建築中最迷人的支撐藝術★ 收錄英美日精彩案例，帶你看見理性與詩意並存的建築風景所謂 reciprocal frame，指的是由彼此支撐的梁材所組成的三維結構。看似簡單，背後卻蘊藏驚人的幾何秩序與空間美感。本書從中世紀建築草圖、達文西與Serlio的歷史設計出發，循序帶領讀者理解互承結構的形成原理、形態變化，以及在現代建築中的實際應用。書中不僅解析設計、施工與結構層面的關鍵思考，也透過英國、美國、日本等地的精彩案例，呈現這類建築如何在輕盈、優雅與穩固之間取得動人平衡。從低環境衝擊的自力建造，到日本極具美感的劇場、住宅與博物館，本書讓古老智慧重新進入當代建築語言，為建築師、結構工程師，以及所有熱愛空間設計的人，打開一扇全新的觀看之門。In structural terms reciprocal frame structures are 'three dimensional assemblies of mutually supporting beams'. But behind this definition lie some breathtakingly beautiful and complex structures at the heart of buildings both ancient and modern. This new book explores the principles of these apparently simple structures and demonstrates how they can be used in the context of a modern building.Starting with historic designs by de Honnecourt, Da Vinci and Serlio, the book presents the wealth of possible RF morphologies, and investigates the geometrical, structural and practical design issues of reciprocal frames.

本書為 Anthony Reid 關於「東南亞商業時代」的重要研究之最終卷，聚焦十五世紀至十七世紀中葉之間，東南亞在全球貿易體系中迅速變動的關鍵時刻。當歐洲正經歷文藝復興與早期資本主義轉型時，東南亞同樣因香料貿易的蓬勃發展，迎來城市化、商業化與國家結構重組的深刻變革。作者指出，貿易導向的城市興起，使國家權力趨於集中與專制，伊斯蘭教、基督教與上座部佛教也在新的政治結構中快速傳播，改變了人們對信仰與個人道德的理解。Reid 將這些變化與歐洲、日本的歷史發展相互對照，同時也審慎分析東南亞在私人資本累積與國家穩定性上的限制。書末探討十七世紀中葉的危機，如何使東南亞逐步退出世界經濟舞台長達數百年。本書以嚴謹學術與清晰敘述見長，是理解東南亞歷史與全球早期現代化進程的重要經典。In The Lands Below the Winds--the first volume of a two-volume set chronicling the rise of Southeast Asian culture during the years from 1450 to 1680--Anthony Reid vividly explored everyday life in the different societies of the region, from diet, housing, commerce, and law to sexual and family relations, patterns of warfare, and popular entertainment. In doing so he enables us to perceive the underlying coherence and splendid variety in the complex mosaic of Southeast Asia.

The Institute of International Law's 2019 Resolution on the Equality of Parties before International Investment Tribunals represents a major step forward in codification of this essential principle as it applies to investor-state dispute settlement: a principle whose application in this context has attracted increasing controversy in recent years. In this commentary, Campbell McLachlan, who served as the Institute's Rapporteur on the topic, explains the context for the Resolution and sets forth an article-by-article analysis of its provisions, drawing upon a wealth of prior case-law as well as the discussions within the Institute that led to the Resolution. The resulting text is designed to assist counsel and tribunals in investment cases, as well as contribute to the wider debate on the reform of investor-state dispute settlement.

ASEAN has undertaken the complex task of creating a single economic entity for Southeast Asia by 2015 in the form of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), but without regulators or supranational institutions, its implementation has been an inconsistent process. Through comparisons with the EU and NAFTA, this book illustrates the shortcomings of the current system, enabling readers to understand both the potential of regional economic development in ASEAN and its foundational and institutional deficiencies. The authors' analysis of trade in goods and services, investment, and dispute resolution in the AEC indicates that without strong regional institutions, strong dispute resolution or a set of norms, full and effective implementation of the AEC is unlikely to result. The book offers clear solutions for the ASEAN institutions to help the AEC reach its full potential. Written by two leading practitioners, this insightful book will interest policymakers, students and researchers.

This volume analyzes whether China's thirty years of legal reform have taken root in Chinese society by examining how ordinary citizens are using the legal system in contemporary China. It is an interdisciplinary look at law in action and at legal institutions from the bottom up, that is, beginning with those at the ground level that are using and working in the legal system. It explores the emergent Chinese conception of justice - one that seeks to balance Chinese tradition, socialist legacies and the needs of the global market. Given the political dimension of dispute resolution in creating, settling and changing social norms, this volume contributes to a greater understanding of political and social change in China today and of the process of legal reform generally.

The internet has the potential to increase the number of cross-border disputes between a wide range of different users. For many internet disputes, the use of Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) becomes critical. ODR uses information technology (such as expert systems) and internet communication applications (such as webforms or web filing platforms) to resolve disputes outside the courts. Although ODR is a progeny of ADR, using some of the same processes such as mediation and arbitration, ODR is also different in that it adds new and transformative technology and processes. This book sets out the process standards with which ODR, and in particular online arbitration, should comply and shows how these standards can be implemented in the real world. It considers applicable law and enforcement, thus providing a blueprint of how online arbitration processes should be devised.

一般大眾初學者以淺顯圖文介紹最新都市規劃科學的內涵都市規劃是一門正在演進的學科，然而學界及業界中相對少的人認識到這是一門科學。這本書彙整了作者過去35年來的研究成果，從複雜學的觀點以相對淺顯的圖文來說明都市規劃科學的內涵。自從2019年底新冠肺炎疫情席捲全球的都市後，正顯示出只有人們才是都市的靈魂，沒有考慮「人」的都市規劃是落空的。本書所介紹的都市規劃科學便是以「人」為出發點，探討社會科學針對人類選擇行為的解釋與自然科學針對複雜系統的理解，並將兩者整合成一系統性的都市規劃現象的描述與解釋。2021年諾貝爾物理學獎頒給三位從事複雜系統研究的學者，正說明了複雜學已獲得最高學術殿堂的認可。希望本書的出版能對有志探索人類如何面對都市複雜性的學術或專業規劃師有所幫助。■ 自序現代科學正進行著一場顛覆性的複雜性運動或革命，而這個運動或革命正在或已經影響了社會科學及自然科學許多領域的發展，包括都市規劃。因此，學界對都市及規劃的理解也產生了變化：都市不再是簡單的均衡系統，而是複雜的非均衡系統；規劃從過去強調空間、共識及控制的靜態描述轉而著重時間、結盟及計畫的動態過程(Hopkins, 2014)。此外學者也認為應用大數據及數位孿生的電腦科技從事都市規劃，仍然離不開以複雜性科學來理解都市的理論。尤有甚者，筆者在2018 年發現了四個I 與規劃作用及複雜性的邏輯關係，將規劃的概念與複雜性科學聯繫起來。四個I 表示都市發展決策的相關性(Interdependence)、不可逆性(Indivisibility)、不可分割性(Indivisibility) 以及不完全預見性(Imperfect Foresight)( 詳見本書第三章第五節)。具體而言，規劃發生作用為四個I 的充分條件，而四個I 又是複雜性的充分條件，因此規劃發生作用是複雜性的充分條件(Lai, 2018)。用一般的話來講，計畫在複雜系統中發生作用，但不是唯一的方式。這個發現也確立了四個I 與規劃及複雜度的關係；亦即四個I 同時是規劃投資及複雜度的指標，而這個邏輯關係貫穿了本書的理論架構。我書Planning within Complex Urban Systems (Lai, 2021) 及其姊妹作《複雜城市系統中的規劃原理：新觀點、新邏輯與新實驗》( 賴世剛，2022) 系統地整理了筆者過去35 年來的核心研究心得，以完整
