Foundation-Building For Western Hemispheric Integration, Frederick M. Abbott
Foundation-Building For Western Hemispheric Integration, Frederick M. Abbott
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The United States is embarked upon an ambitious program of western hemispheric economic integration about which its domestic body politic is decidedly ambivalent. The process in which the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was approved in 1993 re- vealed deep divisions between the major political parties and their various interest group constituencies concerning the appropriate scope of an economic integration agenda. The Mexican peso crisis that began in December 1994 provoked a deep crisis of confidence regarding Mexico's readiness to participate in a mature economic partnership with the United States and Canada. Subsequent revela- tions relating to corruption infecting …

Dispute Resolution As A Catalyst For Economic Integration And An Agent For Deepening Integration: Nafta And Mercosur?, Cherie O'Neal Taylor
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
An economic integration arrangement between nations cannot exist without the creation of the necessary institutions. Any free trade, customs union or common market agreement1 must have, at a minimum, political institutions and a dispute settlement mechanism. The political institutions are necessary to allow the countries to reach decisions about how to implement the treaty obligations and objec- tives and to oversee that implementation. The dispute settlement mechanism is needed to resolve disputes that may arise over the meaning and application of the agreement's legal obligations and objectives. A dispute settlement mechanism is crucial to the viability of an economic integration …
Networks In International Economic Integration: Fragmented States And The Dilemmas Of Neo-Liberalism, Sol Picciotto
Networks In International Economic Integration: Fragmented States And The Dilemmas Of Neo-Liberalism, Sol Picciotto
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Current discussions of "globalization" afford an opportunity to. reflect on the development of the modern international system and its governance as well as to evaluate prospects and strategies for the fu- ture. However, the term "globalization" is ambiguous. It conceals di- verse and sometimes conflicting trends and strategies; it appears to project a post-Cold War optimism of increasing global unity and pros- pects for a new world order based on a strengthened framework of international institutions. Nonetheless, tendencies towards fragmen- tation exist, in addition to an increasing awareness of diversity and, perhaps, global disorder. Certainly, efforts are being made to …
New Players For The Old Tobacco Game: The Czech Republic And Romania; It's Time To Change The Rules, Susan Meyer
New Players For The Old Tobacco Game: The Czech Republic And Romania; It's Time To Change The Rules, Susan Meyer
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Cigarette and tobacco advertisements have become a part of life in the Czech Republic and Romania. In the Czech Republic, Camel cigarettes, manufactured by R.J. Reynolds, sponsored weddings in which taxis bearing the Camel logo transported guests from the wed- ding to the reception.' In Romania, Kent cigarettes, manufactured by British and American Tobacco Company (BAT), sponsored the ex- tremely popular television show "Dallas."3 Unfortunately, the health consequences of cigarette use, which lead to the annual death of three million people around the world,4 have also become a part of daily life. In 1995, almost 20% of the Czech Republic's …
"Trade And": Recent Developments In Trade Policy And Scholarship - And Their Surprising Political Implications, Jeffrey L. Dunoff
"Trade And": Recent Developments In Trade Policy And Scholarship - And Their Surprising Political Implications, Jeffrey L. Dunoff
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Lately, I've been thinking about the richly suggestive phrase "trade and." What does it mean? Is it shorthand for new topics on the expanded trade agenda, such as "trade and environment" or "trade and intellectual property"? Does it describe new movements in legal scholarship on trade issues? How is it similar to, or different from, "law and"? Until fairly recently, most scholarship about international trade law fell within a relatively well-defined domain. The substantive focus of this traditional scholarship' typically has been on a series of tradi- tional, core "trade" issues: tariffs, quotas, most-favored-nation treat- ment, nondiscrimination, permissible safeguards and …

Next, Part IV details the it-for-tat legal retaliation that has stemmed from Title I's enactment, and Part V discusses the legality of Title mI's private right of action. Finally, Part VI recommends that Title …
