Reluctant allies? Iuliu Maniu and Cornellu Zelea Codreanu against King Carol II of Romania

Romanian legionary movement, to prevent the incumbent government falsifying the elections of December 1937. Thus far, the secondary literature on the history of interwar Romania has shed little light on Maniu's motives in signing the pact with Codreanu or on the nature and extent of Maniu's relations with the legionary movement in the 1930s. This article, which draws on previously unutilized Romanian archival sources, will examine the links between Maniu and the movement and argue that these extended well beyond the signing of the pact in 1937. It will conclude that Maniu and Codreanu were far from being 'reluctant allies' in their fight against government corruption and King Carol of Romania

Communicating martial arts knowledge: Conferring over a wealth of possibilities

The 3rd Annual Martial Arts Studies Conference held at Cardiff University (11‐13 July, 2017) was an eclectic collection of keynotes, papers, workshops, networking and social events. It connected PhD students, established professors and practitioner‐instructors in university lecture rooms, public parks, and music halls across three days of academic, social and physical activities. From historical studies of Chinese martial arts to the performance of Indian styles, it brought together scholars, practitioner‐researchers and martial artists for a supportive, but also scholarly, gathering – one which was both thematically open but at the same united by an exploration of the communication of embodied research and knowledge. In sum, the conference demonstrated that martial arts studies, as a still young field, shows a wealth of promise, with emerging leaders, topics and debates that will stimulate future research, cross‐continental collaboration and intercultural dialogue. Keywords: Martial arts; martial arts studies; interdisciplinarity; embodied knowledge; global scholarship; research community

International Investment Law and Arbitration, Sustainable Development, and Rio+20: Improving Corporate Institutional And State Governance

The 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (“Rio+20”) will provide “a historic opportunity to define pathways to a safer, more equitable, cleaner, greener and more prosperous world for all.” Rio+20 comes twenty years after the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, where participating governments agreed to several historic accords to promote a more sustainable environment.

One of the most important documents that resulted from the 1992 Earth Summit was Agenda 21, a planning-oriented framework on redefining economic growth while also promoting social equity and ensuring environmental protections
