Today there are an estimated 230 satellite campuses operating globally, a figure that excludes franchises, partnerships, “twinning” agreements, and many failed attempts (Cross-Border Education Research Team, n.d.).

This occurred despite authoritative advice against such restrictions from the World Health Organization (WHO). During a public health emergency such as Ebola, the airplane sits at a site of regulatory uncertainty as it falls within the scope of two specialist and overlapping domains of international law; the WHO International Health Regulations (2005) and the Convention on International Civil Aviation. We explore how legal technicalities and objects, by promoting functional interactions between these two specialized regimes of law, were utilized to deal with this uncertainty. We show how the form and function of these mundane tools had a significant impact; assimilating aviation further into the system of global health security as well as instrumentalizing the aircraft as a tool of disease surveillance. This encounter o...

For a number of reasons situations involving transnational cooperation have received little judicial scrutiny. This article examines human rights concerns associated with the rapidly expanding field of transnational education, an activity frequently reliant on inter-state cooperation. By re-examining the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, the legal obligations of countries engaged in public activity overseas are explored. The analysis is structured around a case study on the oversight of a European education facility affected by Bahrain's controversial response to pro-reform protests.
