Purpose – Electronic commerce or e-commerce constitutes a commercial activity on the rise. Although it has many advantages, there are several lingering factors that prevent its consolidation, such as the lack of trust of the potential consumer/user. In order to overcome that obstacle, instruments of self-regulation were created in the field of advertising. Firms that wish to distinguish themselves favorably against their competitors have the option of adopting those instruments, which play a praiseworthy role regarding the target audience and constitutes a considerable improvement of consumer rights. However, on occasions, problems arise in the market when those systems of self-regulation bind third parties that did not voluntarily enter into a contract. This paper tackles the question of if self-regulation of advertising in the net can be put in place should it affects the honor of the third party not committed with the fair-practices document. Methodology/approach/design – In this article, we will refer to the particularities that arise from a case concerning the Chilean Law no. 20,168, of 2007, on unfair competition and self-regulation of advertising in the Internet pertaining WOM, Movistar, Entel, Claro and Virgin. Findings – The Chilean Law no. 20,168, of 2007 contributes to the goal of discouraging conduct contrary to good faith or good practices in advertising in conjunction with codes of conduct that have been approved in the field related to the systems of self-regulation.

Resumen: El presente artículo analiza la eficacia e interacción de los diferentes mecanismos de la autorregulación o del Soft law en el Comercio internacional contra las prácticas comerciales desleales y/o la competencia desleal. Mecanismos que siempre han sido controvertidos por su naturaleza no vinculante entre otros aspectos. Se trata de poner de relieve ciertos pros y contras de estos mecanismos, su relación con el hard law o las normas del Comercio internacional en las que se ha incluido cierta tutela contra lo que en estas instancias se entiende cómo competencia desleal en el mercado internacional (por ejemplo, el artículo 10 bis CUP incluido en el Tratado ADPIC y algunas disposiciones del Tratado GATT). Por medio de esta relación, que, a pesar de no estar todavía reconocida a nivel institucional, existe y puede mejorar la tutela contra las prácticas comerciales desleales dotándoles de mayor fuerza vinculante ante los tribunales en el ámbito de la litigación transfronteriza, tratando en el artículo la infracción de los mecanismos de la autorregulación, en especial, de lo que se conoce cómo Responsabilidad Social Corporativa y el Compliance, como un posible acto de competencia desleal en cuanto a poder considerarlas, obligaciones de tipo extracontractual.Palabras clave: competencia desleal, prácticas comerciales desleales (B2B-B2C), autorregulación, Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC), compliance, mercado internacional, Hard law, Soft law, OMC, GATT, ADPIC, artículo 10 bis CUP, códigos de conducta.Resumen: El presente artículo analiza la eficacia e interacción de los diferentes mecanismos de la autorregulación o del Soft law en el Comercio internacional contra las prácticas comerciales desleales y/o la competencia desleal.

These mechanisms, as it well known, are considered as quite controversial, taking into account their non-binding legal nature. It will be emphasized, despite the above mentioned, that these mechanisms actually, have a strong relationship with certain mechanisms of hard law set out in the International Trade Law which recognize the protection, up to a certain degree, against the unfair competition in the globalized market such as the Article 10 bis PC included in the TRIPS and some provisions of the GATT.  Hence, it will be analysed the infraction of soft law rules against unfair competition, namely of the Social Corporate Responsibility and Compliance as a potential act of unfair competition such as a non-contractual obligation. In doing so, it could be reinforces these mechanisms with a more binding nature before the Courts, namely in international litigation against unfair competition.Keywords: unfair competition, unfair commercial practices (B2B-B2C) self-regulation, compliance, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), international market, soft law, hard law, WTO, Article 10 bis PC, GATT, TRIPs, Codes of conduct

This book is the first to theorize third party mediation in crises between regional nuclear powers. Its relevance flows from two of the most significant international developments since the end of the Cold War: the emergence of regional nuclear rivalries; and the shift from the Cold War’s bipolar context to today’s unipolar international setting. Moving away from the traditional bilateral deterrence models, the book conceptualizes crisis behavior as “brokered bargaining”: a three-way bargaining framework where the regional rivals and the ‘third party’ seek to influence each other to behave in line with their crisis objectives and in so doing, affect each other’s crisis behavior. The book tests brokered bargaining theory by examining U.S.-led crisis management in South Asia, analyzing three major crises between India and Pakistan: the Kargil conflict, 1999; the 2001-02 nuclear standoff; and the Mumbai crisis, 2008. The case studies find strong evidence of behavior predicted by the brokered bargaining framework. They also shed light on several risks of misperceptions and inadvertence due to the challenges inherent in signaling to multiple audiences simultaneously. Traditional explanations rooted in bilateral deterrence models do not account for these, leaving a void with serious practical consequences, which the introduction of brokered bargaining seeks to fill. The book’s findings also offer lessons for crises on the Korean peninsula, between China and India, and between potential nuclear rivals in the Middle East.
