Pride, Prejudice, And Japan's Unified State, Suzanne M. Sable Dec 2008

Pride, Prejudice, And Japan's Unified State, Suzanne M. Sable

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

Japan is undoubtedly one of the foremost economic powers in the world and is internationally recognized as a democratic leader among modern nations. The economy's rapid growth in the mid-twentieth century has been attributed to its booming technical industries, including its electronic and automobile industries. However, Japan is unique in that it has retained traditions associated with typically less advanced nations-namely, a regressive human rights agenda. Although cultural, ethnic, and social minorities continue to exist on Japanese soil today, Japan's social policy of Nihonjinron allows the majority of the population to disregard such minorities and perpetuate the government's vision of …

Institutional Aspects Of International Governance, Elisabeth Zoller Oct 1995

Institutional Aspects Of International Governance, Elisabeth Zoller

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

Professor Elisabeth Zoller discusses the domain and the methods of internationalg overnance. In PartI , she addresses the notion of the "international community." Professor Zoller argues that the international community is not really a community at all, but several "intertangled communities" with common interests. These common interests emerged as a result of several worldwide events, such as World War I and the Great Depression. The author asserts that common interests among nation states and priority setting are the two prerequisites necessary for international governance. In Part II, the authore xamines the methods of internationalg overnance, beginning with the proposition that …


Resolving Commercial Disputes In China: Foreign Firms And The Role Of Contract Law, Roy F. Grow Jan 1993

Resolving Commercial Disputes In China: Foreign Firms And The Role Of Contract Law, Roy F. Grow

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

It is not my intention to explicate China's Foreign Economic Contract Law (FECL), the Joint Venture Law (JVL), or the Foreign Enterprise Income Tax Law (FEITL). The analysis of these codes has been done in great detail by others.' Instead, I will examine the actual behavior of the most important actors governed by this set of laws-the Chinese and foreign enterprises that work with one another and which must find ways to resolve their competing claims. In this study, I will examine the tension between Chinese and foreign firms by focusing on several specific and limited questions having to do …


Public Law, Private Actors: The Impact Of Human Rights On Business Investors In China Symposium: Doing Business In China, Diane F. Orentlicher, Timothy A. Gelatt Jan 1993

Public Law, Private Actors: The Impact Of Human Rights On Business Investors In China Symposium: Doing Business In China, Diane F. Orentlicher, Timothy A. Gelatt

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Should companies invest at all in countries, like China, where severe human rights abuses are pervasive? If they do invest, should they restrict their operations to areas of the country that have a comparatively good human rights record? Are there basic principles that transnational companies should observe to ensure, at a minimum, that they do not become complicit in a host government's abrogation of universally-recognized human rights? Should such principles be enforced by Executive or congressional fiat, or should companies take primary responsibility for policing themselves? How can companies that wish to factor human rights considerations into their business decisions …


Pudong: Another Special Economic Zone In China?-An Analysis Of The Special Regulations And Policy For Shanghai's Pudong New Area, Bin Xue Sang Jan 1993

Pudong: Another Special Economic Zone In China?-An Analysis Of The Special Regulations And Policy For Shanghai's Pudong New Area, Bin Xue Sang

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The Open Door Policy instituted in the late 1970s marked the beginning of economic reform in the People's Republic of China ("China"). Leading these reforms was the establishment of five special economic zones i and the opening of fourteen coastal cities.2 These special economic zones ("SEZs") and coastal cities, located along the east coast of China, serve as "windows" to attract foreign investment and technology.' So far, each of the five SEZs and the fourteen coastal cities has been successful in achieving these goals.

Habeas Corpus In Peru: Myth And Reality, H. H. A. Cooper Jan 1971

Habeas Corpus In Peru: Myth And Reality, H. H. A. Cooper

Cleveland State Law Review

The purpose of the present article is not to criticize the laudable project of those whose object is to secure better protection for fundamental human rights, but rather to examine in detail the theory and practice of habeas corpus in one Latin American country, Peru, and to demonstrate that the greatest encroachments on human rights come not from political tyranny, as is popularly imagined, but from the malfunctioning of the legal system itself, against which even the most perfectly conceived habeas corpus is quite ineffective. It is trite but true that a legal system is only as effective as the …
