The Puzzle: The Internet is a wonderful innovation, allowing people around the world to communicate, trade, and obtain services. Convenient and rich in choices and opportunities, the Internet is tremendously attractive to buyers. Naturally, businesses are flocking to the Internet. The warning has been sounded that those who do not stake a claim in this incredible new communication medium will be left behind to perish. Yet, with all the enthusiasm, many buyers hesitate to take a serious plunge. Businesses are told repeatedly that they must obtain their customers' trust, yet find it more difficult to gain this trust in cyberspace …

The Harmonization Of Competition Laws Worldwide, Michael George Egge
The Harmonization Of Competition Laws Worldwide, Michael George Egge
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
We have experienced nothing short of an explosion in competition law enactment and enforcement over the last several years. Today, more than eighty countries have competition laws, with the majority of these enacting competition legislation for the first time in the 1990s. With these new laws come new, or in some cases renewed, enforcement efforts against commercial behavior viewed as posing threats to the competitive process. Even in jurisdictions that have developed a tradition of competition law enforcement, like the European Community and the United States, the influence of competition law in everyday commercial decision-making has increased dramatically.

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works
The paper presents an outline of the issues and a preliminary appraisal of the use of trade sanctions by the World Trade Organization (WTO) as a means of promoting compliance by parties.

Many commentators have suggested using trade sanctions analogously in other IGOs, or alternatively broadening trade rules so that the sanctions can be used for other purposes, such as enforcing basic human rights. The paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of the use of such compliance sanctions by the WTO and concludes that …

Switzerland & The International Trade In Art & Antiquities, Michele Kunitz
Switzerland & The International Trade In Art & Antiquities, Michele Kunitz
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Recently, Switzerland has proposed a law that would significantly tighten its regulation of the antiquities trade. The draft law seeks to comport Swiss law with the broad goals of international conventions on the protection and transfer of cultural property. However, given Switzerland's past reluctance to curtail the illicit trade in antiquities, it remains unclear whether this measure will pass or if passed, whether the law would be adequately enforced. The primary aim of this Comment is to detail the history of international law as it pertains to cultural property and draw attention to the Swiss role in fostering the illicit …
