Is Georgia On Their Minds?--Some Legal Aspects Of Investment And Trade By Foreign Business Enterprises, Gabriel M. Wilner, Terry K. Smith

Scholarly Works

This article will focus on the legal environment within the State in regard to foreign investment and trade. In making this survey it is also necessary to note briefly the full context in which foreign investment and trade is accomplished. The State cannot act or fail to act in areas dictated by the economic, political, and social philosophies held by its citizens. Likewise, the State cannot act in areas in which the Federal Government has acted pursuant to the United State Constitution. Among the areas in which the State is prohibited or preempted from acting are foreign affairs, especially in …

Report On The Internal Training Program Of Zambia’S Department Of Taxes, Richard Pomp

Faculty Articles and Papers

This report covers a review of the internal training program of Zambia’s Department of Taxes in 1975 and offers numerous suggestions for improvement. The report begins with a brief description of the courses of study in the training program, followed by a discussion of problem areas of the three main components of each course (field training, classroom instruction, and examinations) with recommendations for reform. After noting a general dissatisfaction with the quality of trainees the Tax Department attracts, the report suggests two main avenues for improvement. One avenue is establishing working conditions that attract and keep high-quality individuals. The other …


On Understanding Chinese Law And Legal Institutions, Stanley B. Lubman Jan 1976

On Understanding Chinese Law And Legal Institutions, Stanley B. Lubman

Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies

Our unfamiliarity with Chinese legal institutions and policies toward law causes misunderstanding of the role of law in the People's Republic of China. The present unimportance of the formal legal system has deep historical reasons. As China's economy becomes more complex, regularity should increase, although it will remain controversial. In commercial contracts with the West, custom performs the role of law.

The Turkish Aid Ban: Review And Assessment, A. A. Fatouros Jan 1976

The Turkish Aid Ban: Review And Assessment, A. A. Fatouros

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In this article, A.A. Fatouros places the U.S. aid-embargo to Turkey in the context of jurisdiction (executive vs. legislative powers) rather than in the context of ideological differences between the two camps. If, as the writer claims, the final concessions to the executive branch by Congress had been predictable, could we conclude that the executive branch is on the road to recovery? And if that is the case, is the Congressional ratification of the recent agreement between Kissinger and Turkey a foregone conclusion? There is of course such a possibility. To avert it, the opponents of the aid and the …


The Value Of Comparative Constitutional Law, Donald P. Kommers Jan 1976

The Value Of Comparative Constitutional Law, Donald P. Kommers

Journal Articles

The publication of an English translation of a notable decision by a major foreign tribunal' is a fitting occasion on which to discuss the value of comparative constitutional law as a subject of academic study and as a legal discipline of valid current applicability. When referring to comparative constitutional law, I am speaking mainly of case law and most particularly of judicial decisions handed down by national tribunals empowered to review the constitutionality of legislative and executive acts.

The Politics Of Lawmaking: Problems In International Maritime Regulation: Innocent Passage V. Free Transit, George P. Smith Ii Jan 1976

The Politics Of Lawmaking: Problems In International Maritime Regulation: Innocent Passage V. Free Transit, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

Free transit and innocent passage as internationally recognized maritime rights present few problems. Complexities arise when some states - dissatisfied with innocent passage because of alleged weaknesses in its operation and implementation - seek to modify or completely transform this right into the broader right of free transit through certain territorial waters in international straits in disregard of coastal state needs. Other states assert there can be neither a re-evaluation nor a modification of the right of innocent passage and the right of free transit until agreement is first reached on the extent of expanded fishing rights and rights for …
