The Treaty With Poland Concerning Business And Economic Relations: Does It Provide More Incentive To The American Investor?, Todd Ewing
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Among the reformed East European countries now embracing democratic notions, Poland has been the most aggressive in the effort to reach full-fledged democracy. These efforts are reflected by Poland's recent amendments to its foreign investment law and, most recently, the signing of a treaty with the United States in hopes of attracting American investors. This article briefly examines the role and content of this treaty in the context of the overall United States treaty program and, more importantly, determines whether the Treaty has the potential to stimulate U.S. investment above and beyond the incentives now in place under the foreign …
Money Laundering And Its Current Status In Switzerland: New Disincentives For Financial Tourism, Rebecca G. Peters
Money Laundering And Its Current Status In Switzerland: New Disincentives For Financial Tourism, Rebecca G. Peters
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
As a national source of tourism, the Swiss Alps are, at least in one sense, overshadowed by the banks and finance companies of Switzerland. Because of the relatively strict Swiss banking secrecy laws, the stability of the Swiss franc and the long-standing expertise of Swiss banks in currency trading, financial tourists in the past have relied with alarming consistency on Switzerland's financial system to "launder," i.e., introduce into the normal flow of legitimate capital, funds or assets stemming from illegal activities. Proof of Switzerland's status as a capital for financial tourism lies in the oft-observed coincidence that the trails of …

Joint Ventures, Antitrust, And Transnational Cartelization, Walter Adams, James W. Brock
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Joint ventures have fired corporate imaginations and captured the fancy of government officials, who perceive them as key weapons in the struggle to achieve global competitiveness. Characterizing the trend as corporate America's version of the singles bar, Business Week reports that in the current rage for "strategic alliances," scarcely a day passes without the announcement of another cooperative inter-corporate agreement. The London Economist reports that "just as the vogue for aggressive takeovers in America and Britain has come to an end, many of the world's biggest companies are scrambling to sign up joint-venture partners or to conclude an alliance with …

Guidelines For Mergers And Acquisitions In France, David J. Berger
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Recent developments in France, including the opening of French markets and the privatization of many of the companies nationalized in the early 1980s, have made France one of the leading countries for investment by American companies seeking to enter Europe prior to the unified European market in 1992. France's liberalization of foreign investment rules, as well as its lifting of foreign exchange controls, have further helped make French companies among the most attractive for both American and European investors.

Worker Rights In The Post-1992 European Communities: What "Social Europe" Means To United States-Based Multinational Employers, Donald C. Jr. Dowling
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The United States media have extensively covered the trade angle of the European Communities [EC] program to create a "single market" by the end of 1992. The media coverage has spotlighted the benefits the EC market will offer multinational corporations, such as the market's "economies of scale" and its 320 million consumer block.
