A Canadian Perspective On Fifty Years Of International Economic Law, J. Anthony Van Duzer
A Canadian Perspective On Fifty Years Of International Economic Law, J. Anthony Van Duzer
Dalhousie Law Journal
In 1970, “international economic law” (IEL) was not a distinct academic subject. Fifty years later, IEL has become an important and well-recognized field of legal enquiry, though its boundaries remain unclear. Globalization of trade and investment activity and the concomitant proliferation of trade and investment treaties over the last 50 years have been key drivers of academic interest in IEL and its transformation. The impacts of trade and investment on the protection of the environment and health, Indigenous, labour, and human rights, development, and other policy priorities have become significant subjects of academic discourse and are increasingly addressed in trade …

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed the frailties of economic relations across different aspects of the globalized network. From the national, through the sub-regional, to the regional to the international levels, questions have arisen regarding the seemingly interconnected, yet fractured socio-economic relationships in our modern societies. In this essay we shall focus on the trade and investment dimension of South-South relations that have been affected by the pandemic. In doing so, we shall reveal the (often overlooked or taken for granted) linkages with race in South-South relations. We identify the way(s) in which the Covid-19 pandemic has made obvious the latent …

Doing Development Differently: Reorienting Sino-African Trade And Investment Relations After The Pandemic, Olabisi D. Akinkugbe, Clair Gammage
Doing Development Differently: Reorienting Sino-African Trade And Investment Relations After The Pandemic, Olabisi D. Akinkugbe, Clair Gammage
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
This article explores the evolutive nature of Sino-African relations and questions how Chinese interventions may influence Africa’s development stories in a post-Covid world. We examine whether the crisis could serve as a catalyst for reorienting the strategic partnership between China and Africa away from debt diplomacy towards genuine partnership or a breaking apart of the long-standing relationship. This article presents three narratives to illustrate how the future direction of Sino-African relations may change and how this might enable Africa to ‘do development differently’.
Privacy, Trusts And Cross-Border Transfers Of Personal Information: The Quebec Perspective In The Canadian Context, Eloise Gratton, Pierre-Christian Collins Hoffman
Privacy, Trusts And Cross-Border Transfers Of Personal Information: The Quebec Perspective In The Canadian Context, Eloise Gratton, Pierre-Christian Collins Hoffman

Even where a trust contains an express choice of law clause providing that the laws of another province or country apply, Quebec conflict of laws rules may …

Lobster Fishery Licensing: Injustice And Muddling Through, Rod Snow
Dalhousie Law Journal
Lobster means different things to different people: for some it is the ultimate in gourmet dining; for the lobster fisherman it is the object of his labour and investment and the key to his lifestyle. There are over 20,000 lobster fishermen in Atlantic Canada who land approximately 36 million pounds of lobster at an annual landed value of about $40 million.' Lobster is Atlantic Canada's single most valuable fishery, more valuable than cod or herring. 2 Management of the lobster fishery is entrusted to the Fisheries and Marine Service of Environment Canada. A central aspect of their management programme has …
