Can U.S. Antitrust Laws Open International Markets?, Spencer Weber Waller Jan 2000

Can U.S. Antitrust Laws Open International Markets?, Spencer Weber Waller

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The vigorous and non-discriminatory enforcement of antitrust law can contribute to promoting an international marketplace characterized by an open competitive process. However, antitrust law is, at best, a supporting player in constructing a liberal multilateral trading order, and is incapable of promoting any single country's exports. This article suggests a small, but important, role for United States antitrust law in promoting that competitive marketplace in conjunction with a developing wave of competition law around the globe.


Transnational Competition Law Aspects Of Mergers And Acquisitions, William M. Hannay Jan 2000

Transnational Competition Law Aspects Of Mergers And Acquisitions, William M. Hannay

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

As more and more U.S. companies engage in overseas operations, even the most routine merger or acquisition seems to have a transnational component which requires analysis and perhaps premerger notification under an increasing number of foreign "competition laws" (or what we call antitrust laws). An understanding of those competition rules has become an imperative for American lawyers.


Wives For Sale: The Modern International Mail-Order Bride Industry, Kathryn A. Lloyd Jan 2000

Wives For Sale: The Modern International Mail-Order Bride Industry, Kathryn A. Lloyd

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This comment begins by discussing the mail-order bride industry in the context of international human trafficking, focusing on traffic between the United States and the Philippines, and includes an overview of the current regulations that exist regarding this industry.

Finally, this comment calls for international regulation that would begin to address these problems, …


Foreword: The Rocky Road Toward The Rule Of Law In China: 1979-2000, James Hugo Friend Jan 2000

Foreword: The Rocky Road Toward The Rule Of Law In China: 1979-2000, James Hugo Friend

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This Twentieth Anniversary Issue of JILB again has a symposium on law in China entitled China Revisited: Examining the Rule of Law After Twenty Years." The impetus for the 2000 China Symposium is the unprecedented integration of China into the world economic community, evidenced by China's imminent entry into the World Trade Organization ("WTO").2 The road to China's integration into the WTO was paved by the U. S. Senate's recent vote, "the most significant advance in U.S.-China relations since President Nixon's 1972 visit,'13 which grants China permanent normalized trade relations without annual Congressional review. Although the Senate approval was expected, …


Bird In A Cage: Chinese Law Reform After Twenty Years, Stanley Lubman Jan 2000

Bird In A Cage: Chinese Law Reform After Twenty Years, Stanley Lubman

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

When I wrote in 1979, it was easy to summarize the state of Chinese legal institutions because they were so sparse. Although a judicial system had been created on the Soviet model in the 1950s, it had been politicized by the end of that decade after a brief period of liberalization, and then further wrecked by the Cultural Revolution. A new period of institution-building began in 1979; reconstruction of the courts began and the law schools, closed for a decade, reopened. Most fundamentally, the policies of the Chinese leadership seemed to promise, as I noted then, "attempts to conceptualize and …
