Economic Perspectives On Trade In Professional Services, Jagdish N. Bhagwati
Economic Perspectives On Trade In Professional Services, Jagdish N. Bhagwati
Faculty Scholarship
This paper will bring an economist's perspective to bear on three questions raised at this conference by some of the other important contributions:
- How are services different from goods;
- What implications do these differences have for the rules we seek to negotiate to free trade in services; and
- How can we induce the key developing countries, such as Brazil, Egypt and India, which have generally opposed liberalization of trade in services, to support it?
Answers to these questions will naturally bear critically on the narrower question of international trade in professional, and especially legal, services, since recommendations and decisions on …

Banning The Bomb: Law And Its Limits, Lori Fisler Damrosch
Faculty Scholarship
We can all agree with the contributors to this volume that nuclear weapons present the threat of unimaginable devastation that could bring an end to civilization and even to life on this planet. The grim calculations and stark images come back again and again, but they cannot be repeated too often: over 50,000 weapons in the United States and Soviet arsenals, each with a destructive force dwarfing the explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki; radiation effects producing indescribable suffering and death; environmental damage that defies quantification or prediction; the specter of nuclear winter rendering the earth uninhabitable. No rational being can …
Equity Joint Ventures In China: New Legal Framework, Continuing Questions, Stanley B. Lubman
Equity Joint Ventures In China: New Legal Framework, Continuing Questions, Stanley B. Lubman
Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies
Foreigners participating in equity joint ventures in the PRC since such investments were authorized in 1979 have encountered a variety of problems. New legal institutions have been established to provide a framework for joint ventures but their reach and interpretation of the new rules in practice are still often uncertain. Changes in policy have affected, and will continue to affect, the operation of both joint ventures and the new legal rules. Potential investors need contractual protection against changes in laws, regulations and policies which may affect the joint venture. Some specific issues of importance to foreign investors in China include …
Technology Transfer In China: Policies, Practice And Law, Stanley B. Lubman
Technology Transfer In China: Policies, Practice And Law, Stanley B. Lubman
Hong Yen Chang Center for Chinese Legal Studies
The legal and practical aspects of technology transfer are of increasing importance as China's international economic relations expand. Chinese legislation on aspects of such transfers are beginning to appear and this paper discusses relevant regulations particularly the Technology Import Contract Regulations of May 1985. Practical issues include Chinese interest in up-to-date technology and comprehensive technical documentation, valuation of the technology to be transferred, payment terms, the terms and costs of technical training, and acceptance tests of the products manufactured using the transferred technology. Patent infringement and protection of proprietary information are also issues of concern to companies involved in technology …
The Iran-United States Claims Tribunal 1981-1983, Lori Fisler Damrosch
The Iran-United States Claims Tribunal 1981-1983, Lori Fisler Damrosch
Faculty Scholarship
It is in the nature of publishing schedules that this volume of papers presented at a colloquium in April of 1983 was printed in 1984, distributed in 1985, and reviewed in an issue to appear in early 1986. Those who have actively followed the work of the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal are necessarily familiar with a large portion of the contents of this book. Not only were three of the seven chapters previously published elsewhere, but much of the descriptive and some of the analytical material throughout the book has been dealt with in a more timely fashion in the …
