Laying Down The "Brics": Enhancing The Portability Of Awards In International Commercial Arbitration, Benjamin C. Mccarty
Laying Down The "Brics": Enhancing The Portability Of Awards In International Commercial Arbitration, Benjamin C. Mccarty
Benjamin C McCarty
The drafters of the 1958 New York Convention intended Article V(2)(b) to be interpreted narrowly, and while most pro-arbitration national courts do maintain narrowly defined areas of public policy that are sufficient for refusal of the recognition and enforcement of a foreign arbitral award, this is not always the case. Developing states and jurisdictions that maintain corrupt or inefficient judicial systems have shown a greater willingness to invoke the public policy exception for a broader, amorphous variety of reasons. This phenomenon has created a sense of unpredictability among international investors, arbitrators, and business executives as to the amount of deference …
Gandhi’S Prophecy: Corporate Violence And A Mindful Law For Bhopal, Nehal A. Patel
Gandhi’S Prophecy: Corporate Violence And A Mindful Law For Bhopal, Nehal A. Patel
Nehal A. Patel
AbstractOver thirty years have passed since the Bhopal chemical disaster began,and in that time scholars of corporate social responsibility (CSR) havediscussed and debated several frameworks for improving corporate responseto social and environmental problems. However, CSR discourse rarelydelves into the fundamental architecture of legal thought that oftenbuttresses corporate dominance in the global economy. Moreover, CSRdiscourse does little to challenge the ontological and epistemologicalassumptions that form the foundation for modern economics and the role ofcorporations in the world.I explore methods of transforming CSR by employing the thought ofMohandas Gandhi. I pay particular attention to Gandhi’s critique ofindustrialization and principle of swadeshi (self-sufficiency) …
Una Aproximación Neoinstitucionalista Al Derecho (Económico) Internacional, Daniel A. Monroy
Una Aproximación Neoinstitucionalista Al Derecho (Económico) Internacional, Daniel A. Monroy
Daniel A Monroy C
ResumenEste artículo indaga acerca de cómo el análisis económico del derecho (AED) puede servir a los juristas-internacionalistas para examinar ciertas cuestiones relevantes del derecho internacional (DI) en general y del derecho económico internacional (DEI) en específico. Concretamente, se sostiene la hipótesis de que la denominada “Nueva Economía Institucional” (NEI) representan una alternativa de aproximación económica consistente y que se ajusta de forma adecuada al contexto del DI. Para demostrar la hipótesis, el artículo sintetiza algunos conceptos propios de la NEI, y a partir de ellos trata de establecer sendos paralelos con cuestiones propias del DI. Los conceptos que se …
A Comparison Of The Jurisprudence Of The Ecj And The Efta Court On The Free Movement Of Goods In The Eea: Is There An Intolerable Separation Of Article 34 Of The Tfeu And Article Of 11 Of The Eea?, Jarrod Tudor
Jarrod Tudor
Article 11 of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and Article 34 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (“TFEU”) prohibit quantitative restrictions on the free movement of goods. The EEA is monitored by the European Free Trade Area Court (“EFTA Court”) and the TFEU is monitored by the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”). In theory, the EFTA Court and the ECJ should interpret Article 11 and Article 34 in the same manner in order to promote harmonization of the law on the free movement of goods and allow for further economic integration between EFTA and the EU. …
The Free Movement Of Capital In Europe: Is The European Court Of Justice Living Up To Its Framers' Intent And Setting An Example For The World?, Jarrod Tudor
Jarrod Tudor
The benefits to free movement of international financial flows are numerous but include an efficient asset market and the opportunity for economic growth and development for countries engaged in an agreement allowing for such freedom. The free movement of capital is one of the four pillars of the Treaty on the Function of the European Union (TFEU) along with the free movement of goods, services, and labor. Article 63 of the TFEU prohibits limitations on the free movement of capital while Article 65 of the TFEU allows for some exceptions. Not only does the free movement of capital doctrine suppose …
Domestic Judicial Defiance In The European Union: A Systemic Threat?, Arthur Dyevre
Domestic Judicial Defiance In The European Union: A Systemic Threat?, Arthur Dyevre
Arthur Dyevre
In a multi-level, non-hierarchical court system, where courts at the upper echelon do not have the power to reverse the decisions of courts at the lower level, judicial cooperation appears crucial to the effectiveness of the higher-level law. For this reason, recent decisions by national courts may seem to bode ill for the authority of EU law. In January 2012, the Czech Constitutional Court declared the decision of the Court of Justice in the Landtová case ultra vires. This came on the heels of other domestic rulings stressing the constitutional limits of integration. More recently, in February 2014, the German …
