A Sociological Approach To The Negotiation Of Military Base Agreements, Ryan M. Scoville Jul 2006

A Sociological Approach To The Negotiation Of Military Base Agreements, Ryan M. Scoville

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

The United States is involved in a substantial reconfiguration of its overseas military bases that requires negotiating new base agreements with prospective host nations and amending old agreements with others. U.S. officials must grapple with the effects of anti-base social movements during this process. However, if history is any indication, these officials are unlikely to succeed fully.

Bond Covenants And Creditor Protection: Economics And Law, Theory And Practice, Substance And Process, William Wilson Bratton Mar 2006

Bond Covenants And Creditor Protection: Economics And Law, Theory And Practice, Substance And Process, William Wilson Bratton

Articles

This article examines contractual protection of unsecured financial creditors in US credit markets. Borrowers and lenders in the United States contract against a minimal legal background that imposes the burden of protection on the lender. A working, constantly updated, set of contractual protections has emerged in response.
