The Economic Case For Labor Standards: A Layman’S Guide, Thomas I. Palley Jan 2001

The Economic Case For Labor Standards: A Layman’S Guide, Thomas I. Palley

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

The place of labor standards in the global economy has figured prominently in recent discussions of trade and globalization. Labor standards figured prominently in the Seattle meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1999, and they promise to figure prominently in discussions about a proposed Free Trade Area of Americas (FTAA). Labor standards represent a critical issue for both the American labor movement and the international trade union movement as they are central to making globalization work for working people.


An Essential Element Of Fair Trade And Sustainable Development In The Ftaa Is An Enforceable Social Clause, Terry Collingsworth Jan 2001

An Essential Element Of Fair Trade And Sustainable Development In The Ftaa Is An Enforceable Social Clause, Terry Collingsworth

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

Multinational companies (“MNCs”) and governments that are fantasizing about a Free Trade Area of the Americas (“FTAA”) should accept the reality that the FTAA is not politically viable for the time being unless the issues of labor rights and other social conditions are addressed in a manner demonstrating that these rights are consistent with commercial rights that are protected in careful detail in many pages of the draft FTAA agreement.


Does Free Trade Cause Hunger? Hidden Implications Of The Ftaa, Jonathan B. Wight Jan 2001

Does Free Trade Cause Hunger? Hidden Implications Of The Ftaa, Jonathan B. Wight

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

This division of labour, from which so many advantages are derived, is not originally the effects of any human wisdom, which forsees and intends that general opulence to which it gives occasion. It is the necessary, though very slow and gradual consequence of a certain propensity in human nature which has in view no such extensive utility; the propensity to truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another.

The Geography Of Injustice: Borders And The Continuing Immiseration Of California Agricultural Labor In Era Of "Free Trade", Don M. Mitchell Jan 2001

The Geography Of Injustice: Borders And The Continuing Immiseration Of California Agricultural Labor In Era Of "Free Trade", Don M. Mitchell

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business

Why is it that when the reigning ideology governing the expansion of “free trade” is anti-regulatory”, all agree that the movement of people, or rather laborers, must be carefully regulated? Indeed, why are borders strengthened for people just as states of the Western Hemisphere embark on a thorough reconfiguration, and even a dismantling, or borders for capital and goods.


The Developing Legal Infrastructure And The Globalization Of Information: Constructing A Framework For Critical Choices In The New Millennium Internet -- Character, Content And Confusion, Tomas A. Lipinski Jan 2000

The Developing Legal Infrastructure And The Globalization Of Information: Constructing A Framework For Critical Choices In The New Millennium Internet -- Character, Content And Confusion, Tomas A. Lipinski

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

This paper reviews recent attempts to extend traditional property rights and other information controls and regulations into new media, such as cyberspace, primarily the World Wide Web. It reviews developments in copyright, trademark, trademark dilution, misappropriation, trespass, censorship, tort, privacy and other legal doctrines as they are reflected in recent United States case law and legislation, and to a lesser extent, in international agreements. Legal problems often arise because there is a conflict of viewpoints in how to best characterize space on the Internet, specifically the World Wide Web. Some argue that traditional ownership rights should apply, or perhaps a …


Market Power And The Ftc, John C. Hilke Jan 2000

Market Power And The Ftc, John C. Hilke

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Although the DOJ/FTC Merger Guidelines provide a firm foundation for analyzing changes in prospective market power resulting from a proposed merger, the analysis does not focus on detecting or measuring market power that may already exist in the market. Further, antitrust enforcement is focused on anti-competitive mergers and unfair forms of competition. From an antitrust perspective, a firm that lawfully acquired market power does not commit an antitrust offense merely by exercising that power, unless it engages in unfair methods of competition to protect that power.


Affordable Internet Access For All Americans, Mark J. Maier Jan 1999

Affordable Internet Access For All Americans, Mark J. Maier

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

There are times in our history where new technologies burst onto the scene and have a major impact on our lives. We live in one such time. The Internet is revolutionizing how people and organizations interact with each other. Examples of these paradigm changes include how students are now being educated online with minimal face time with their teachers; governments are being forced to adapt to the new circumstance where once formidable geographical boundaries between countries are being lowered by information technology; and the military is realizing that it needs to harness this new technology or be defeated by it.

Mfn Relations With Communist Countries: Is The Two-Decade Old System Working, Or Should It Be Revised Or Repealed?, Taunya L. Mclarty

University of Richmond Law Review

Most Favored Nation ('MEN") trade status has been a cornerstone of U.S. trade policy since 1934, and it is extended to all nations except those specifically denied MFN status by U.S. law. Since 1934, the United States has used MFN status as leverage to further U.S. national security and foreign policy goals, and on a few occasions, has used it as a tool to obtain trade concessions.


Who Leads At Halftime?: Three Conflicting Visions Of Internet Privacy Policy, Karl D. Belgum Jan 1999

Who Leads At Halftime?: Three Conflicting Visions Of Internet Privacy Policy, Karl D. Belgum

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Concern about privacy on the Internet runs high, but the prescriptions for treatment vary widely. Privacy advocates seek different goals when formulating policy proposals. Some seek to protect individuals and society from the effects of loss of privacy, including the loss of human dignity. Others seek to encourage the development of online markets in personal information, so that consumers can profit from their own information, rather than giving it away. Still, others seek primarily to promote the growth of e-commerce, and see privacy fears as a threat to that goal. These goals are fundamentally inconsistent, and that inconsistency is obscured …


Is Nafta Up To Its Green Expectations? Effective Law Enforcement Under The North American Agreement On Environmental Cooperation, Beatriz Bugeda Jan 1999

Is Nafta Up To Its Green Expectations? Effective Law Enforcement Under The North American Agreement On Environmental Cooperation, Beatriz Bugeda

University of Richmond Law Review

On January 1, 1994, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the governments of Mexico, Canada and the United States went into effect. Together with this trade agreement, the governments of the three countries entered into a side agreement on the environment: the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC). This agreement, also known as the Environmental Side Agreement, responded to some of the concerns of NAFTA critics. Some environmentalists believed NAFTA would promote environmentally insensitive and uncontrolled growth, and others thought the liberalization of trade would be used as a means to preempt stringent domestic environmental regulations.

Priority Of Invention In United States Patents: From The Paris Convention To Gatt, John F. Carroll Iv

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

Imagine the following: It's New Year's Eve, 1994, and as twilight falls you start to clean off your desk and get ready to go home. On top of your "Out" tray is a copy of a patent application for American Corporation that you filed with the Patent and Trademark Office last week. A-Corp., one of your largest clients, is the nation's largest manufacturer of business office furniture. The patent application is for A-Corp's new "Security Cabinet," a device that protects sensitive computer disks and video- tapes from electromagnetic contamination. The Security Cabinet was unveiled at an office supply trade show …


Moderating Antitrust Subject Matter Jurisdiction: The Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act And The Restatement Of Foreign Relations Law (Revised), Daniel T. Murphy Jan 1986

Moderating Antitrust Subject Matter Jurisdiction: The Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act And The Restatement Of Foreign Relations Law (Revised), Daniel T. Murphy

Law Faculty Publications

Within the last several years two approaches have been taken to tempering the extraterritorial application of the United States antitrust laws. In October 1982 the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act of 1982 (the "FTAIA") was signed into law. In addition, for the past four years the American Law Institute has been engaged in an effort to revise thoroughly the Restatement of Foreign Relations Law of the United States. It is expected that this effort will culminate in May 1986 with the promulgation of the Restatement of Foreign Relations Law of the United States (Revised) (the "Restatement (Revised)"). These two efforts …


Brazil's Profit Remittance Law: Reconciling Goals In Foreign Investments, Jan Hoffman French Jan 1982

Brazil's Profit Remittance Law: Reconciling Goals In Foreign Investments, Jan Hoffman French

Sociology and Anthropology Faculty Publications

Promoting foreign investment is a goal of many developing nations. Along with the benefits of that investment, however, foreign participation in development creates problems such as balance of payments deficits caused by the repatriation of profits earned by the foreign investor. Brazil's profit remittance law is one effort to reconcile these problems. By providing for the registration of foreign investment and using a system of reinvestment incentives, the Profit Remittance Law seeks to promote foreign investment while avoiding the loss of capital which results when profits are remitted abroad. The author of this article describes and explains the Profit Remittance …


The Export Trade Association Act Of 1981--A Brief Analysis, Daniel T. Murphy Jan 1981

The Export Trade Association Act Of 1981--A Brief Analysis, Daniel T. Murphy

Law Faculty Publications

Concern over the dramatic competitive decline of the United States in the realm of free world exporting has led to the "introduction into the United States Senate of S. 144, the Export Trade Association Act of 1981, "[a] bill to encourage exports by facilitating the formation and operation of export trading companies, export trade associations, and the expansion of export trade services generally ... . m This bill contains two parts.

Self-Regulation-Panacea Or Pitfall?, William D. Dixon Jan 1968

Self-Regulation-Panacea Or Pitfall?, William D. Dixon

University of Richmond Law Review

Several recently announced Federal Trade Commission advisory opinions have revived anew the controversy surrounding what a businessman can and cannot do in the area of self-regulation. The reasons for the existence of the controversy can be readily understood, for on the one hand businessmen are being constantly urged by those within the federal government to clean their own houses before the Government is forced to do the job for them, and yet on the other they are faced with the specter of an antitrust prosecution if they do anything toward that end which they feel will be in any way …
