Bumper Cars: Themes Of Convergence In International Regulation, Michael P. Malloy Jan 1992

Bumper Cars: Themes Of Convergence In International Regulation, Michael P. Malloy

McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles

In this Article, Professor Malloy examines the convergence of regulatory standards among international regulators, suggesting that the dynamic of financial services regulation can best be understood as a conceptualized version of the bumper cars ride at an amusement park. While Professor Malloy suggests that a certain degree of convergence has already occurred in international regulation, thus decreasing the number of “bumps” in the ride, he also recognizes that much of this convergence remains prospective rather than actual, and currently is dominated by a pattern of regionalized regulation. Professor Malloy argues that, unless a converged pattern of regulation continues to develop, …


Negotiation Of International Agreements: Legal And Practical Problems In The Third World Countries, Kuwayaway Stephen Stephen Jan 1992

Negotiation Of International Agreements: Legal And Practical Problems In The Third World Countries, Kuwayaway Stephen Stephen

LLM Theses and Essays

The purpose of this study was to investigate problems in negotiation of international agreements in Third World countries, to shed light on the salient features in negotiation agreements between developed and developing countries, and to propose measures to assess the situation. This study provides detailed description and techniques used in negotiating these agreements in international negotiations. The study reveals that when negotiating within unequal bargaining power, the weak party stands to lose because it enters the agreement without free will; consequently, the agreement becomes unenforceable. Three factors have been identified as being obstacles to freedom of contract, ie. The unequal …

The Process Of Peace-Making Following Operation 'Desert Storm', Sompong Sucharitkul

Publications

On August 2, 1990, the whole world witnessed an unprecedented event in modern history, the unprovoked invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi armed forces. The invasion itself was historic in the sense that in this day and age it was still possible for one militarily powerful Asian Arab State to invade and overrun its relatively weaker sister State and to proceed to declare its annexation without fear of adverse reactions from the international community. That the Iraqi leaders miscalculated United States reactions and subsequent world-wide repercussions no one could today gainsay. Nor indeed could anybody deny Iraq's overestimation of its own …

The Case For Self-Determination, Guyora Binder Jan 1992

The Case For Self-Determination, Guyora Binder

Journal Articles

This lecture offers an analysis and defense of the right of self-determination of peoples. The argument begins by analyzing self-determination into its universalist and nationalist components. The universalist component of self-determination is satisfied wherever institutions of government are majoritarian. The nationalist component of self-determination is satisfied to the extent that institutions of government are identified with particular communities. The universalist compoent is now widely recognized as an authoritative principle of international law. The nationalist component remains controversial, particularly outside of the particular context of the dismantling of European colonial empires. The lecture proceeds to defend the nationalist component by attacking …


The International Law Of The Environment From The U.S. Perspective: A Case Study: The U.S. And Mexico, Robert Summers Jan 1992

The International Law Of The Environment From The U.S. Perspective: A Case Study: The U.S. And Mexico, Robert Summers

Faculty Articles

The subject of public international law is vast, rich and varied, thus offering the potential to explore many interrelated topics ranging from the lofty philosophical precepts of positivist and naturalist thought to the technical intricacies of international business transactions. Many of these topics are also historically relevant to the long and often inclement history of Mexican-U.S. relations. These include the law of war, peace and neutrality, self-determination, territory, recognition, and diplomatic and consular privileges and immunities. Regrettably, the allotment of time and space for the subject of public international law in the Joint Venture Program does not allow discourse on …

Exchange Loss Damages And The Uniform Foreign-Money Claims Act: The Emperor Hasn't All His Clothes, Ronald A. Brand Jan 1992

Exchange Loss Damages And The Uniform Foreign-Money Claims Act: The Emperor Hasn't All His Clothes, Ronald A. Brand

Articles

In 1989, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws approved a new Uniform Foreign-Money Claims Act. This Act is designed to change and clarify the law regarding judgments on obligations denominated in a foreign currency. It does so by recognizing that old rules preventing judgment in a foreign currency - developed in times of a strong dollar - are inappropriate. Unfortunately, in seeking fairness for plaintiffs when the U.S. dollar is weak, the Act replaces rigid old rules with stiff new rules that fail to address the basic issue of appropriate damages for exchange rate losses. While the …

Interpreting Sacred Texts: Preliminary Reflections On Constitutional Discourse In China, Janet Ainsworth Jan 1992

Interpreting Sacred Texts: Preliminary Reflections On Constitutional Discourse In China, Janet Ainsworth

Faculty Articles

The 1982 Constitution of the People's Republic of China provides the foundation for a nation governed by the rule of law rather than by Party fiat. It remains unclear whether and to what extent this ambitious Constitution will be implemented in practice. In her article, Professor Ainsworth asserts that the way in which Western scholars to date analyzed Chinese constitutions demonstrates the ethnocentric assumptions inherent in Western scholarship. Professor Ainsworth suggests that Chinese constitutional discourse needs to be understood in a Chinese context, requiring a historical study of the traditional Chinese exegetical methodology used in interpreting the Confucian Classics. This …


Offenders Abroad: The Case For Nationality-Based Criminal Jurisdiction, Geoffrey R. Watson Jan 1992

Offenders Abroad: The Case For Nationality-Based Criminal Jurisdiction, Geoffrey R. Watson

Scholarly Articles

When a host state does not prosecute a U.S. national who commits a violent crime abroad, the United States does not exercise jurisdiction. Should the United States eschew nationality jurisdiction, when it may provide the only basis for prosecution? Part II of this article traces the evolution of nationalitybased criminal jurisdiction in U.S. law and asserts that the United States has in fact embraced such jurisdiction in the past, usually to ensure that U.S. offenders abroad were tried by U.S. courts rather than foreign tribunals. Part III examines the current U.S. jurisdictional scheme, which relies on foreign states to prosecute …

The Extraterritorial Application Of Antitrust Laws: The United States And European Community Approaches, Roger P. Alford Jan 1992

The Extraterritorial Application Of Antitrust Laws: The United States And European Community Approaches, Roger P. Alford

Journal Articles

This Arti­cle compares the differing approaches of the United States and the European Community as they wrestle with the question of how to regulate foreign anticompetitive activity. More specifically, this Arti­cle highlights the distinctive features of the U.S. "effects doctrine" and the European Community's "implementation approach" and ana­lyzes the differences that exist between the two systems. Only the U.S. doctrine openly provides for the consideration of international comity concerns, but both approaches have been used liberally to assert jurisdiction over foreign defendants. Part II of this Article pro­vides a background to the subject by briefly outlining the traditional bases of …
