Sommario/riassunto

How can Third World experiences of colonialism and statehood be expressed within the confines of the International Court of Justice? How has the discourse of international law developed to reflect postcolonial realities of ‘universal’ statehood? In a close and critical reading of four territorial disputes spanning the Arab World, Burgis explores the extent to which international law can be used to speak for and speak to non-European experiences of authority over territory. The book draws on recent, critical international legal scholarship to question the ability of contemporary, international adjudication to address Third World



grievances from the past. A comparative analysis of the cases suggests that international law remains a discourse only capable of capturing a limited range of non-European experiences during and after colonialism.

Sommario/riassunto

Pharmaceutical formulation design affects patient acceptability/adherence and pharmacokinetics of the drug. This is particularly important for older patients because of the physiological changes due to ageing and clinical/social circumstances related to medicine taking. This book provides a comprehensive review in the design of formulations to meet the needs of older patients. An overview of the key clinical, social and pharmaceutical factors affecting medication optimization, safety and acceptability in older adults is included, followed by patient-centric considerations including regulatory requirements, dosage form design and human factor studies. Advanced pharmaceutical technologies are discussed for their potential use in older adults such as 3D printing, long-acting oral formulations and novel vaccine technologies. The unique focus of the book will be of interest to pharmaceutical scientists in both industry and academia in searching for better formulations for older patients.
