Trade, Intellectual Property, And The Development Of Central And Eastern Europe: Filling The Gatt Gap, Anne D. Waters
Trade, Intellectual Property, And The Development Of Central And Eastern Europe: Filling The Gatt Gap, Anne D. Waters
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
A major obstacle encountered by the formerly Communist states of Central and Eastern Europe as they convert to market economies is the lack of necessary capital. To raise that capital, these states are largely dependent on foreign investors. Inadequate protection of intellectual property in the formerly Communist states, however, may deter foreign investment. This Note examines Central and Eastern Europe's need for capital and the effect that the quality of intellectual property protection may have on its ability to obtain capital. The Author concludes that, in order for the new economies to survive, not only must the states of Central …
Banning The Cultural Exclusion: Free Trade And Copyrighted Goods, S. I. Strong
Banning The Cultural Exclusion: Free Trade And Copyrighted Goods, S. I. Strong
Faculty Publications
For centuries people have expressed themselves through creative works of art and literature, and since 1557 artists and authors have been able to protect their rights to their creative works through various national copyright laws. National copyright laws basically grant a monopoly in the use of the work to its creator. Copyrighted goods, however, are often easily transported across national boundaries, and thus national copyright laws may provide inadequate copyright protection in the international marketplace. The necessity for international copyright protection has been met to some extent by copyright conventions. International copyright conventions, like national copyright laws, define the scope …

The United States Export Control Laws And Regulations, Minzhi He
The United States Export Control Laws And Regulations, Minzhi He
LLM Theses and Essays
The current system of United States export controls began with the Export Control Act of 1949. Following World War II, Congress passed this legislation to establish a strategic embargo against communist nations in an attempt to control trade to further the national security and foreign policy interests of the West. In 1969, Congress reformed the export control laws by passing the Export Administration Act of 1969 – which contained no inherent limits. However, the increasing tension between the U.S. business interests and the national security and foreign policy interests made Congress once again alter the legislation and the Export Administration …
Incised Marks (Post-Firing) On Aegean Wares, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld
Incised Marks (Post-Firing) On Aegean Wares, Nicolle E. Hirschfeld
Classical Studies Faculty Research
The practice of incising potmarks into LH and LM III vessels after firing is not only distinctive but also a peculiar and limited Cypriot phenomenon. A close examination of the types of vessels marked in this way and their distribution should provide some clues to patterns of trade between the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean. The work I present here is still very much in progress, and I welcome suggestions and criticisms.
What Will Happen To The Critters, William Snape
What Will Happen To The Critters, William Snape
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
On September 16, 1993, United States President Bill Clinton and his counterparts in Mexico and Canada signed the environmental supplement to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This environmental agreement addresses two main issues: enforcement of domestic environmental laws through possible trade sanctions and environmental cooperation among the three Parties-both to be implemented by a newly created Commission on Environmental Cooperation (CEC). Although increased environmental cooperation possesses no legal mandate per se and has been characterized by some as "green window-dressing," the CEC's authority to examine virtually any environmental issue related to trade is precedent setting. For example, the …

Enforcement Of Environmental Laws Under A Supplemental Agreement To The North American Free Trade Agreement, William Snape
Enforcement Of Environmental Laws Under A Supplemental Agreement To The North American Free Trade Agreement, William Snape
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: Enforcement of environmental laws is one of the key issues in the debate over the relationship between trade and environment in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Without uniformly strong enforcement in all three NAFTA nations, there is the potential for in- creased migration of "dirty" industries to nations with lax enforcement, and for increased environmental degradation. Furthermore, industries subject to lax enforcement do not have to internalize environmental compliance costs and so have a competitive advantage over their international rivals. This article discusses various approaches to encouraging enhanced enforcement of environmental laws as one component of a …

The North American Free Trade Agreemet And United States Employment., Roger W. Wallace, Max Scoular
St. Mary's Law Journal
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will create new opportunities for United States firms and workers while simultaneously protecting United States workers over a 15-year timeframe. The benefits of NAFTA include eliminating conditions that currently encourage or require United States firms to invest south of the border, establishing free trade in services, and eliminating non-tariff barriers which impede United States merchandise exports to Mexico. Furthermore, NAFTA would provide an improved and expanded regional trade and investment base resulting in a boost to the global competitiveness of US products. NAFTA would also increase trade liberalization with Mexico and maintain Mexico …
The Earth As Eggshell Victim: A Global Perspective On Domestic Regulation, Alfred C. Aman
The Earth As Eggshell Victim: A Global Perspective On Domestic Regulation, Alfred C. Aman
Articles by Maurer Faculty
In the now famous case of Vosburg v. Putney, the Wisconsin Court enunciated the common law doctrine since known as the "eggshell skull" or "thin skull" rule: you take your victim as you find him. The thin skull rule is a productive starting point for a dialogue on the place of law in any effort to control (or reverse) the cumulative damage to the planet's ecosystem. Any such dialogue requires a global perspective that fuses international and domestic approaches to law. Environmental law must assess not only the level of assault against the earth, but also the risk of the …
