“…238 When the EU is faced with these addressing these questions it has widely been seen to eschew political considerations, therefore a common approach to international law and trade practices with DTs is lacking. 239 A certain shift was evident in Psagot ruling however, where it for the first time referred to the territory at hand as occupied, something it refrained from in all its prior rulings. 240 By engaging with contentious political issues Harpaz found that the approach of the Court earlier case-law could be contrasted to Psagot.…”

“…214 Given the many political considerations arising from disputed territories and self-determination, 215 another parallel can be found the CJEU's refusal to engage with the ongoing politically sensitive discussions in Brita, which some argue lead to an overall 'reductive and not well-substantiated' decision. 216 Its once again selective nature in discussing relevant international law rules lead to an arguably discriminatory trade policy towards the occupied territories. 217 Concerning political connotations Frid de Vries furthermore argued that this discriminatory treatment towards occupied territories could 'contribute to the negative connotations of a political bias in the EU's policy on trade with Israel', 218 unsurprising given the judgment's heavily political backdrop.…”

The EU could currently be described as one of the largest international legal entities with, previously unprecedented, legal competences originating from public international law (PIL). Both the European and international legal landscapes have changed and evolved in terms of nature, as well as their national and international competences in relation to each other. The relationship between these two legal systems has therefore also received increasing attention in recent years, most likely due to their unique interaction. In terms of the EU’s global influence, it undoubtedly played a role in reshaping the idea of international organizations, but were they influential towards each other in other ways? The aim of the present article is to assess to what extent and how the Court of Justice of the European Union’s (CJEU) takes international law into account when ruling on questions regarding international agreements with third countries concerning disputed territories.

“…Because of the intrinsic link between standardization and power a comprehensive theory of standardization, and even more so of standardization in the public interest or any contribution in that direction, needs not only to be a theory of technology or institutional configurations, but also a theory of power. Several authors have argued that an interdisciplinary analysis of standards and standard making is necessary (Contreras 2019;Kanevskaia 2020b). Taking inspiration from this observation and building on the three-fold typology of power advanced by Peet (2007), in this section we sketch how such a theory of standardization and power could look like, identifying potential building blocks across disciplines.…”

In this critical literature review, we provide an overview of the history of international communication standards to argue that a comprehensive theory of standardization needs not only to be a theory of technology or institutional configuration(s), but also a theory of power. Such a theory should account for three forms of power respectively in the realms of economy (control over capital), politics (control over practice), and ideology (control over rationalities). By providing an overview starting the standardization of the telegraph, to the Internet, and wireless telecommunication technologies, most notably 5G, we show how these different aspects play significant roles in standardization and need to be accommodated in a non-deterministic manner. Finally, we explore whether there is a role for the public interest in such a theory of power in standardization.

“…While this expansion makes standardization even more relevant, many stakeholders, including governmental and industry experts, know little about standards and standardization at strategic, tactical, and operational levels (European Commission, 2022). Indeed, previous research has identified a significant knowledge deficit among students and the general public with regard to standardization (e.g., Kanevskaia, 2020;Puiu, 2020;Vasileva, 2020). Education is the solution to such a knowledge gap, and indeed, policymakers have expressed the need for Education about Standardisation (EaS), e.g., the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC, 2006) and the European Commission (2022).…”

Standardization is essential for business and society. However, many people remain unaware of this. Education about Standardization (EaS) would be one solution to increase awareness. EaS has been a topic of research for several decades. Literature suggests that National Standards Bodies (NSBs) can play a core role in stimulating EaS – but is this actually the case? This research aims to investigate what NSBs do in stimulating EaS and hear their perspectives on EaS. Based on the literature and insights from experts in the field, a survey was prepared and sent to NSBs. Next, stories behind the data were revealed during in-depth interviews with NSB experts. The results from 90 NSBs all over the world show that they believe there is a need for EaS and most of them have activities in this field. They also share insights about what should be achieved in the following years, potential solutions to reach their objectives, and the future of EaS. This article advances knowledge in the field of EaS, with a focus on the role, actions, and perspectives of NSBs. This work also provides suggestions on how NSBs can foster EaS together with other stakeholders. This is one of the first studies with a focus on NSBs in fostering EaS.
