Can U.S. Antitrust Laws Open International Markets?, Spencer Weber Waller
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
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
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. It then gives an overview of the major criticisms of the mail-order bride industry, the international problems created by the practice of trafficking women as brides, and the failure of current regulations in the United States and the Philippines (or the lack thereof) to address these problems. 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
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
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 …
