New spaces of capital: The Real Estate/Financial Complex in Russia and Poland KU Leuven
English Summary
The state-finance-real estate ‘triangle’ found its most spectacular expression in
2007/8 when the collapse of the U.S. mortgage market caused an economic crisis
of global scale. Yet, even though financial news is full of implicit references to the

Governance as Responsibility: Member State Participation in International Financial Institutions and the Quest for Effective Human Rights Protection. KU Leuven
The law of international responsibility, as currently devised, does not offer a consistent analytical framework to assess member State participation in International Organisations.
