The Common Heritage of Mankind is the corresponding legal principle that can establish an international regime to determine the legal status of non-sovereign territories and to allocate exploitation rights. Its main aim is to balance competing national claims by emphasising mankind's common interest in the preservation and controlled exploitation of natural re- sources. Against this background, the chapter sheds a critical light on attempts to transfer the institute of the Common Heritage of Mankind to the sphere of communication. Taking debates revolving around the New World Information and Communication Order in the framework of UNESCO since the late 1970s as a starting point, the author analyses the pitfalls and limits of attempts to establish governance structures for a global information order, including recent attempts to govern the internet.}, language = {de} } @incollection{Weiss2010, author = {Weiß, Norman}, title = {Institutionalised Co-operation on International Communication : The International Administrative Unions as a Means of Governing Globalisation Processes}, series = {The Nation State and Beyond : Governing Globalization Processes in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries (Transcultural Research - Heidelberg Studies on Asia and Europe in a Global Context)}, booktitle = {The Nation State and Beyond : Governing Globalization Processes in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries (Transcultural Research - Heidelberg Studies on Asia and Europe in a Global Context)}, editor = {L{\"o}hr, Isabella and Wenzlhuemer, Roland}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, isbn = {978-3-642-32934-0 (online)}, issn = {2191-656X}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-32934-0}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {65 -- 82}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The nineteenth century witnessed restoration and reformation, the heyday of the nation state in Europe and inter-state cooperation at the same time. Driven by technical progress, communication across borders became an everyday phenomenon demanding transnational cooperation and regulation. Whereas in the political field irregular conferences turned out to be an appropriate instrument for governing transnational cooperation, a more constant and institutionalised matter proved to be adequate for technical cooperation. In 1865, the International Telegraph Convention set up a relevant administrative union which merged in 1932 with the International Radiotelegraph Union from 1906 to form the newly labelled International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The parties to the ITU met regularly in so-called plenipotentiary conferences every 3 years. Already in 1875 the International Telegraph Convention was completely redrafted and the organisation's structure changed. The contracting parties created an instrument that paved the way for a modern form of international standard setting. The new, simplified convention contained only general provisions of a policy nature that would remain in effect for an "indeterminate length of time" (Art. 20), detailed rules of a transitory and specific nature that might be subject to frequent changes with the progress of technology were put into the "Regulations for international service" (also known as the Telegraph Regulations). The newly established "administrative conferences" attended by technical experts from the member states were responsible for revising the regulations when necessary. This was an early example of the transferral of power from sovereign nation states to an international organisation in order to govern transnational communication effectively. The administrative unions, as the first examples in modern history, show the ability of self-interested rational agents to overcome collective action dilemmas, i.e. situations where cooperation avoids sub-optimal outcomes for cooperators. The newly created institutions shaped a spirit of cooperation and the practice of standard setting proved that cooperation is effective. Furthermore, they show the spill-over effects of cooperation: increased cooperation in one area leads to increased cooperation in other areas.}, language = {de} } @article{Weiss2012, author = {Weiß, Norman}, title = {Der Rechtsstaat im Risiko}, series = {Der Staat im Recht : Festschrift f{\"u}r Eckart Klein zum 70.
