Transit Passage Regime Controversy Revisited:, Young K. Kim Jun 1992

Transit Passage Regime Controversy Revisited:, Young K. Kim

Young K Kim

In our contemporary international community, ensuring an unimpeded right of navigation and over-flight through those choke-pointed channels is vital not only to some western naval powers, but also to average industrialized countries. Any arbitrary restriction on straits transit would probably have serious negative effects on developed and developing countries alike. By the same token, any lawlessness in the adjacent territorial area of the straits resulting from the denial of coastal states' control would probably mean a serious disaster not only for the ships and aircraft in transit in those dense congestion, but also for the littoral administration in population control …

The New Earned Income Tax Credit: Too Complex For The Targeted Taxpayers?, Francine J. Lipman, James E. Williamson Jan 1992

The New Earned Income Tax Credit: Too Complex For The Targeted Taxpayers?, Francine J. Lipman, James E. Williamson

Francine J. Lipman

In this article, the authors examine the present administrative system for the earned income tax credit (EITC) especially the refinements resulting from enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA). After describing the problems created by the complexities of the new EITC, the authors conclude that the present system is not working well. They propose that Congress reform the law so that the credit can be used to reduce an employee's liability for Social Security taxes, and refund any excess credit through an addition to take-home pay. The authors believe that the proposed EITC could be administered through …

From Libertarianism To Egalitarianism, Justin Schwartz Jan 1992

From Libertarianism To Egalitarianism, Justin Schwartz

Justin Schwartz

A standard natural rights argument for libertarianism is based on the labor theory of property: the idea that I own my self and my labor, and so if I "mix" my own labor with something previously unowned or to which I have a have a right, I come to own the thing with which I have mixed by labor. This initially intuitively attractive idea is at the basis of the theories of property and the role of government of John Locke and Robert Nozick. Locke saw and Nozick agreed that fairness to others requires a proviso: that I leave "enough …


Big Bang Thermodynamical Faults, Milan Meszaros Jan 1992

Big Bang Thermodynamical Faults, Milan Meszaros

Milan Meszaros physicist

We previously showed some thermodynamical contradictions in standard cosmology on an axiomatic basis [Phys. Essays 3, 284 (1990)]. In the present paper the roots of thermodynamical contradictions in the standard hot model (SHM), which arise from cosmology, are investigated using the above-mentioned axiomatic basis. Furthermore, we illustrate inadequacies in the attempts at finding solutions to the examined anomalies [Ann. Phys. (Leipzig) 46, 153 (1989)].


The Unanswered Questions Of Christopherson V. Allied Signal Corporation, Richard O. Faulk Jan 1992

The Unanswered Questions Of Christopherson V. Allied Signal Corporation, Richard O. Faulk

Richard Faulk

In Christophersen v. Allied-Signal Corp. , the Fifth Circuit sitting en banc announced a controversial new test for evaluating the admissibility of scientific evidence. An earlier panel decision reversed a summary judgment for the defendant chemical manufacturers, holding that the testimony of the plaintiffs' expert regarding cancer causation was not so fundamentally unreliable that it should be excluded from jury consideration. On rehearing en banc, a divided court disagreed with the panel decision and affirmed the district court's summary judgment rendered on behalf of the chemical manufacturers. In general, the court required experts to base their opinions upon facts which …

Reforming The Reform Process: Privatization In Central And Eastern Europe, Ronald J. Daniels, Robert Howse Jan 1992

Reforming The Reform Process: Privatization In Central And Eastern Europe, Ronald J. Daniels, Robert Howse

Ronald J. Daniels

As communist regimes throughout Central and Eastern Europe have fallen one by one under the weight of economic failure and popular discontent, the task of transforming these countries into stable and vibrant liberal democratic societies has commanded the attention of many Western governments and international organizations. Given the rapid and extremely destabilizing deterioration in the levels of production and employment in each of the Newly Liberalizing Economies (NLCs), economic renewal has become an urgent priority of the transformation process. Initially, the greatest importance was attached to reforms involving stabilization and liberalization of prices, lowering of trade barriers, fiscal restraint, and …

The Extinction Of Nation-States, Ali Khan Jan 1992

The Extinction Of Nation-States, Ali Khan

Ali Khan

Hugo Grotius founded his theory of international law on the concept of territorial sovereignty. Over the centuries, territorial sovereignty has played a key role in the development of international legal order. The world has now been divided into nearly two hundred nation-states. The people are proud of their national identities and are willing to sacrifice their lives for their beloved nation-state. But just as dinosaurs have disappeared from the face of the earth, so will nation-states with sovereign borders. One Earth will rise again, free from the walls and fences that nations are building around their unsustainable sovereignty.
