While international organisation termination is indeed a regular event in international relations, this article shows that other institutions carry the legacy of terminated international organisations. We develop the novel concept of international organisation afterlife and suggest indicators to systematically assess it. Our analysis of 26 major terminated international organisations reveals legal-institutional and asset continuity in 21 cases. To further illustrate this point, the article zooms in on the afterlife of the International Institute of Agriculture in the Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Refugee Organization in the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and the Western European Union in the European Union. In these three cases, international organisation afterlife inspired and structured the design of their successor institutions. While specific international organisations might be terminated, international cooperation therefore often lives on in other institutions.}, language = {en} } @article{BarthSiegmannBeuermannetal.2012, author = {Barth, Johannes and Siegmann, Rebekka and Beuermann, Sabine and Russell, Gregory T. and Buback, Michael}, title = {Investigations into chain-length-dependent termination in bulk radical polymerization of 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-Tridecafluorooctyl methacrylate}, series = {Macromolecular chemistry and physics}, volume = {213}, journal = {Macromolecular chemistry and physics}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Malden}, issn = {1022-1352}, doi = {10.1002/macp.201100479}, pages = {19 -- 28}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The SP-PLP-EPR technique is used to carry out a detailed investigation of the radical termination kinetics of 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-tridecafluorooctyl methacrylate (TDFOMA) in bulk at relatively low conversion. Composite-model behavior for chain-length-dependent termination rate coefficients, kti,i, is observed. It is found that for TDFOMA, ic approximate to 60 independent of temperature, and as approximate to 0.65 and al approximate to 0.2 at 80 degrees C and above. However, at lower temperatures the situation is strikingly different, with the significantly higher average values of as = 0.89 +/- 0.15 and al = 0.32 +/- 0.10 being obtained at 50 degrees C and below. This makes TDFOMA the first monomer to be found that exhibits clearly different exponent values, as and al, at lower and higher temperature, and that has both a high as, like an acrylate, and a high ic, like a methacrylate.}, language = {en} }
