• Sommario/riassunto: "As with any rapid technological development, the biotechnology revolution is putting great strains on the ability of law to adapt to new challenges and threats. Although there is general agreement on the need to regulate biotechnology in many different fields of human activity (agriculture, life sciences, forensic science) domestic law remains deeply divided over the best approach to take. This book is the first attempt at covering the most pressing legal issues raised by the impact of biotechnologies on different categories of international norms. Through the contribution of a selected group of international scholars and experts from international organizations, the book addresses. 1) the international status of genetic resources, both in areas of national jurisdiction and in common spaces such as the international sea bed area and Antarctica; 2) the relevance of environmental principles in the governance of modern biotechnologies; 3) the impact of biotechnologies on trade rules, including intellectual property law; 4) the human rights implications, especially in the field of human genetics; and 5) the intersection between general international law and regional systems, especially those developed in Europe and Latin America. The overall objective of the book is to provide an up-to-date picture of international law as it stands today and to stimulate critical reflection and further research on the solutions that will be required in years to come."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

• Sommario/riassunto: Les choses ont-elles changé en matière de conceptions et de pratiques paternelles ? Telle est la question à l'origine de ce texte. À partir d'une analyse de certaines dimensions du vécu de jeunes pères (moins de 25 ans), qu'elle met en perspective d'après les résultats de recherches effectuées il y a une dizaine d'années, l'auteure y répond par l'affirmative. En ce qui a trait aux représentations de ce qu'est un père ou une mère, la plupart des jeunes pères s'attribuent un rôle à multiples facettes, souvent identique à celui de leur conjointe. Selon les jeunes pères, la paternité est une expérience qui demande à la fois une présence au quotidien et une projection dans l'avenir et qui est faite de moments de tendresse, de soins, d'éducation au sens strict et, surtout, de partage avec la conjointe. De plus, l'implication professionnelle est examinée en regard même de l'implication auprès de l'enfant ; elle est mise en « compétition », pourrait-on dire, avec la présence auprès de ; l'enfant, ce qui dénote des changements par rapport aux générations précédentes. Enfin, en ce qui concerne le partage des tâches parentales, le modèle qui domine aujourd'hui leurs pratiques est celui de « partenaire parental » et non celui du pourvoyeur et de la ménagère ni même celui du « conjoint aidant ».; Have things changed all that much in terms of how fatherhood is conceptualized and exercised in daily life ? That is the question underlying this article. The author compares the findings of a recent analysis on certain aspects of the lived experiences of young fathers (under 25 years of age) with the results of studies undertaken over the past ten years, and replies in the affirmative. First of all, when considering the representations held of fathers or mothers, most of these young fathers believe that their role is a multi-faceted one, and that it is often identical to that of their spouse. According to young fathers, fatherhood is a dual experience that requires them to be present on a daily basis while also casting their eye on the future. This is an experience that is constructed out of affectionate moments, child-care duties, education in the literal sense, and especially out of shared experiences with their spouse. In addition, they question the degree to which involvement in a career should take precedence over involvement in their child's life. In other words, the former "competes" with their ability to be present in their child's daily life, which denotes a change from the attitudes of previous generations. Lastly, in terms of sharing parental duties, the model that governs young fathers' child-care practices nowadays is that of the "parental partner", not that of the provider and homemaker or that of the "helpful spouse".
