Kelemahan Undang-Undang Hak Cipta Dalam Melindungi Ekspresi Budaya Tradisional, Amalia Karunia Putri
Kelemahan Undang-Undang Hak Cipta Dalam Melindungi Ekspresi Budaya Tradisional, Amalia Karunia Putri
"Dharmasisya” Jurnal Program Magister Hukum FHUI
The Indonesian perspective on materiality is concrete that is communal. Laws and regulations relating to the protection of Traditional Knowledge and Traditional Cultural Expressions in Indonesia have not been able to properly support the development of Traditional Knowledge and Traditional Cultural Expressions. The number of rules regarding inventory scattered in several laws has apparently not been able to connect with one another to make Traditional Knowledge and Traditional Cultural Expressions develop. Therefore, apart from protection efforts, it is also important to use it in the framework of protecting traditional knowledge itself. Because Traditional Cultural Expressions are one of the identities …
Enforcing Intellectual Property Rights: A Methodology For Understanding The Enforcement Problem In China, Justin Mccabe
Enforcing Intellectual Property Rights: A Methodology For Understanding The Enforcement Problem In China, Justin Mccabe
The University of New Hampshire Law Review
[Excerpt] “Intellectual property rights are neither protected nor enforced in strict uniformity throughout the world. However, it can be said that in most developed countries, intellectual property is preciously guarded, as evidenced by a plethora of intellectual property statutes, penalties for infringement, and consistent attempts to convince less developed nations to adopt strong—or stronger—intellectual property protections. Despite continued vigilance by developed countries in bringing about increased international harmony among intellectual property regimes, some developing countries sustain questionable enforcement policies. What the driving force is behind intellectual property enforcement policies—or more appropriately, the lack thereof—is a matter of disagreement. In order …
How Does Culture Count In Legal Change?: A Review With A Proposal From A Social Movement Perspective, Setsuo Miyazawa
How Does Culture Count In Legal Change?: A Review With A Proposal From A Social Movement Perspective, Setsuo Miyazawa
Michigan Journal of International Law
We have in this volume four articles on legal change in China and Japan written by four distinguished authors. These articles vary with regard to subject state, specificity of issues, and breadth of analytical scope. They commonly discuss one factor, however: culture. The purpose of this Comment is to examine the way each article uses culture in its explanations of legal change. The Comment concludes with a brief suggestion, from a social movement perspective, on employing culture as an explanatory tool in a non-essentialist way.

Law And Culture In China And Japan: A Framework For Analysis, John O. Haley
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Comment is divided into two parts. The first sets forth a series of definitional propositions intended for a more general analysis of the interrelationships of law and culture. The second comprises an introduction to the evolution of legal institutions that enables us to understand better the reception and development of Western legal institutions in East Asia and provides context for the four articles and their individual and collective insights.

Comparative Constitutionalism In A New Key, Paul W. Kahn
Comparative Constitutionalism In A New Key, Paul W. Kahn
Michigan Law Review
Law is a symbolic system that structures the political imagination. The "rule of law" is a shorthand expression for a cultural practice that constructs a particular understanding of time and space, of subjects and groups, as well as of authority and legitimacy. It is a way of projecting, maintaining, and discovering meaning in the world of historical events and political possibilities. The rule of law - as opposed to the techniques of lawyering - is not the possession of lawyers. It is a characterization of the polity, which operates both descriptively and normatively in public perception. Ours, we believe, is …
The New Imperialism: Violence, Norms, And The "Rule Of Law", Rosa Ehrenreich Brooks
The New Imperialism: Violence, Norms, And The "Rule Of Law", Rosa Ehrenreich Brooks
Michigan Law Review
The past decade has seen a surge in American and international efforts to promote "the rule of law" around the globe, especially in postcrisis and transitional societies. The World Bank and multinational corporations want the rule of law, since the sanctity of private property and the enforcement of contracts are critical to modern conceptions of the free market. Human-rights advocates want the rule of law since due process and judicial checks on executive power are regarded as essential prerequisites to the protection of substantive human rights. In the wake of September 11, international and national-security experts also want to promote …
Puerto Rico: Cultural Nation, American Colony, Pedro A. Malavet
Puerto Rico: Cultural Nation, American Colony, Pedro A. Malavet
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This Article articulates a theory of Puerto Rican cultural nationhood that is largely based on ethnicity. In linking ethnicity and citizenship, it is imperative, however, to avoid the evils of ethnic strife and balkanization, while celebrating rather than imposing difference; community consciousness cannot degenerate into fascism.
