Feminism, Globalization And Culture: After Beijing, L. Amede Obiora
Feminism, Globalization And Culture: After Beijing, L. Amede Obiora
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In this article, Professor Obiora begins with the premise that the
credibility of traditional legal frameworks has eroded, because the law
remains unable to relieve the oppressions and polarization between cultures,
even in the wake of global institutional transformations that seem to help the
oppressed, particularly women. Professor Obiora offers the Beijing Platform
for Action as a radical new solution for human rights protection, radical in
that it is one of the first declaratives to transcend the previous dichotomy of
issues among women by expressing a commitment to a global framework in
which to address these issues, particularly the feminization …

Science And International Regulatory Convergence, Jeffery Atik
Science And International Regulatory Convergence, Jeffery Atik
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
National regulation is frequently premised on scientific assump- tions; much of regulatory design is based on scientific findings. Con- sumer product, food and drug and workplace safety standards all depend on a scientific assessment of the risks faced by the public and of the efficacy of an adopted measure in addressing these risks. Build- ing codes, waste disposal protocols and mandated immunization of school children all proceed from the technical recommendations of the scientific community. In current Western society, a regulatory measure lacking a scien- tific basis will be subject to criticism and perhaps ridicule; it may be struck down …
Accountability And International Lawmaking: Rules, Rents And Legitimacy, Paul B. Stephan
Accountability And International Lawmaking: Rules, Rents And Legitimacy, Paul B. Stephan
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The domain of legal rules laid down by international bodies has grown enormously. Laws that have an international source influence a far larger portion of the world's commerce today than they did sixty or even twenty years ago. The enhanced significance and conse- quences of these laws raises an important question: What safeguards do we employ to increase the chances that they will do some good? More specifically, what processes hold international lawmakers ac- countable for their decisions?
Book Review: Has Globalization Gone Too Far? By Dani Rodrik. Washington, D.C, Paul B. Stephan
Book Review: Has Globalization Gone Too Far? By Dani Rodrik. Washington, D.C, Paul B. Stephan
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
To this debate comes Dani Rodrik, an economist on the faculty of Har- vard's John F. Kennedy School of Government. In his brief and intriguing book, Has Globalization Gone Too Far?,2 he seeks to make the race-to-the- bottom story respectable for those who take economics seriously. Rather than preaching radical opposition to globalization, however, he proposes moderate and incremental resistance. He outlines policy responses to what he argues are legitimate concerns about the growth of the world economy, encouraging targeted trade barriers based on a demonstrated national con- sensus about legitimate and illegitimate means of production. I will begin by …
The Worldwide Banning Of Schmiergeld: A Look At The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act On Its Twentieth Birthday, Stanley Sporkin
The Worldwide Banning Of Schmiergeld: A Look At The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act On Its Twentieth Birthday, Stanley Sporkin
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Many cynics viewed the United States' attempt to ban all forms of cor- porate bribery as another example of the federal government's taking on the role of Don Quixote and tilting at windmills. While the law may not have been taken seriously when it was first enacted, it is clear that it has assumed a prominent place among our federal criminal laws. According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, the FCPA remains "the world's toughest law against foreign bribes."9 This article will provide background as to how the law was conceived and will discuss the law's present …
Designing An Fcpa Compliance Program: Minimizing The Risks Of Improper Foreign Payments, Daniel L. Goelzer
Designing An Fcpa Compliance Program: Minimizing The Risks Of Improper Foreign Payments, Daniel L. Goelzer
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Every U.S. company, public or private, that conducts operations out- side of the United States should devote serious consideration to creating and implementing an Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA" or "Act") compli- ance program. In this context, an "FCPA compliance program" means a single, documented, corporate plan designed to reduce the likelihood that the company will engage in violations of the anti-bribery provisions of the FCPA, and to detect such violations and bring them to the attention of sen- ior management, if they occur.' A well-designed compliance program has obvious importance in educating employees concerning their responsibili- ties in this …
