Chinese Contract Formation: The Roles Of Confucianism, Communism, And International Influences, Amy Lee Rosen May 2013

Chinese Contract Formation: The Roles Of Confucianism, Communism, And International Influences, Amy Lee Rosen

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

China has opened its doors to the world so understanding Chinese contract law is crucial to succeeding in international business transactions. The United States and China are both signatories to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), and both nations have declared that neither are bound under Article 1(1)(b), which means that if a contractual conflict arises, the domestic law of either nation may apply when interpreting the contract. China only requires offer and acceptance whereas the United States requires mutual assent and consideration, so contract interpretation may be problematic. Beyond offer and acceptance, …

Horizons Of Inclusion: Life Between Laws And Developments In Rio De Janeiro, Maria Clara Dias, Luis Eslava Apr 2013

Horizons Of Inclusion: Life Between Laws And Developments In Rio De Janeiro, Maria Clara Dias, Luis Eslava

University of Miami Inter-American Law Review

In this article we explore current debates about social inclusion in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. Through a comparison of two initiatives that aim to redress socio-economic segregation in Rio, we analyse the ontological position that these programs adopt towards their subjects, paying particular attention to the programs’ assumptions regarding the legality and development status of residents in informal neighbourhoods. Our aim is to demonstrate how some social inclusion programs recognize and respect the diversity and life experience of marginalized subjects, whereas other nominally successful programs do not achieve such objectives. In our view, such recognition ensures that …

Assessing Legal Advocacy To Advance Roma Health In Macedonia, Romania, And Serbia, Tamar Ezer Jan 2013

Assessing Legal Advocacy To Advance Roma Health In Macedonia, Romania, And Serbia, Tamar Ezer

Articles

Across Europe, Roma suffer extreme marginalisation, negatively impacting their health. Many cannot access healthcare at all. For others, the health system is a hostile place. At the same time, good legal frameworks are in place to protect health rights, and there is increasing recognition of systemic violations experienced by Roma. Essential to building on this momentum and closing the gap between standards and implementation is Roma ability to conduct legal advocacy. Since 2010, the Open Society Foundations has supported Roma engagement in Macedonia, Romania and Serbia in the following advocacy strategies: i) legal empowerment, ii) documentation and advocacy, iii) media …
