A Free Trade Area between the EU and the USA : Why now, why not earlier?
This articles shows how theories of international relations are unsatisfactory for explaining the failure of the myriad attempts to establish a transatlantic free trade area throughout history. The mere removal of tariffs should logically have occurred a long time ago. Perhaps it would have been better to study the weight of protectionist lobbies on both sides of the Atlantic to…

Securitization theories and critical security studies propose a first useful set of…

In today's financial markets, investors no longer hold securities physically. Instead, securities such as shares or bonds are mostly held through intermediaries and transferred by way of book-entries on securities accounts.

The Future of trusts : a Swiss perspective
If the Swiss experience with trusts is notable in any way, it must be because, over the last two decades of the 20th century, we eagerly embraced a legal institution with so few roots in the recent civil law tradition, and we did so without purporting to create an equivalent instrument under Swiss law. Why and how we embraced it, what difficulties we faced in doing so, what came out…

User Empowerment in the Internet of Things
A key concern in the Internet of Things (IoT) has been the integration of mundane objects in the Internet. Although increasingly interconnected, the IoT ecosystem is largely industry-centered. This leads to the creation of limited and incompatible services disempowering users by hampering their participation. In this thesis, we address this issue by empowering users to create,…

A storage and two retrieval algorithms are proposed. They take advantage of the broadcasting nature of mobile ad hoc networks while…
