Memo To The Sec On The Proposed Rule On Disclosure Of Payments By Resource Extraction Issuers, Perrine Toledano
Memo To The Sec On The Proposed Rule On Disclosure Of Payments By Resource Extraction Issuers, Perrine Toledano
Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Staff Publications
CCSI strongly supports the transparency of contracts and tax flows. CCSI shares the belief of many stakeholders that transparency is essential to leverage extractive industries for sustainable development and is in the mutual interest of all stakeholders. However, some industry players continue to voice the concern that increased transparency would be harmful for their business. Therefore, CCSI is working to also establish the business case for transparency.
In one such case, some industry players have been lobbying against the regulations developed by the Security and Exchange Commission to implement the mandatory disclosure provisions of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform …
The Precautionary Principle In Australia: Policy, Law And Potential Precautionary Eias, Warwick Gullett
The Precautionary Principle In Australia: Policy, Law And Potential Precautionary Eias, Warwick Gullett
Warwick Gullett
The precautionary principle has been adopted in such a widespread fashion that it is now difficult to find in either the international environmental arena or countries with advanced environmental protection frameworks an environmental policy document, a new environmental law, or even a political statement about environmental management that does not include a reference to the principle or reflect some of the core ideas of the precautionary concept. References to the principle can be found in documents produced by organizations such as the European Environment Agency, the World Trade Organization, and of course the United Nations; in numerous environmental treaties ranging …

Deepwater Drilling: Law, Policy, And Economics Of Firm Organization And Safety, Mark A. Cohen
Deepwater Drilling: Law, Policy, And Economics Of Firm Organization And Safety, Mark A. Cohen
Vanderbilt Law Review
Nathan Richardson 64 Vand. L. Rev. 1853 (2011) Although the causes of the Deepwater Horizon spill are not yet conclusively identified, significant attention has focused on the safety-related policies and practices-often referred to as the safety culture-of BP and other firms involved in drilling the well. This Article defines and characterizes the economic and policy forces that affect safety culture and identifies reasons why those forces may or may not be adequate or effective from the public's perspective. Two potential justifications for policy intervention are that: (1) not all of the social costs of a spill may be internalized by …
Smoked Success? Social, Cultural, And Legal Changes In The United States, Japan, And France Have Led To A Decline In Tobacco Use. Yet, Teenagers Refuse To Budge!, Dalila V. Hoover
Smoked Success? Social, Cultural, And Legal Changes In The United States, Japan, And France Have Led To A Decline In Tobacco Use. Yet, Teenagers Refuse To Budge!, Dalila V. Hoover
Dalila V Hoover
Once considered a part of everyday life, tobacco consumption has become a global public health crisis that has transcended national borders. By the end of 2011, tobacco will have killed nearly six million people, including more than 600,000 of people exposed to tobacco smoke. If current smoking patterns continue, the toll will nearly double by 2030 with more than 8 million deaths. To safeguard the public’s health, the United States, Japan, and France have taken action to change the acceptability of smoking. Although they have adopted a different approach, they have successfully altered and redefined their cultural perception of tobacco …

Requirements For A Renewables Revolution, Felix Mormann
Requirements For A Renewables Revolution, Felix Mormann
Faculty Scholarship
This Article identifies and analyzes the obstacles presently barring the rise of renewables, evaluates the role of the current policy favorite emission pricing, and offers design recommendations for a comprehensive U.S. renewables policy.
Successful climate change mitigation requires a timely shift to renewable sources of energy, such as sunlight, wind or tides, to decarbonize today’s high-carbon electricity sector. But market pull alone is not strong enough. This Article discusses the most widely cited economic barriers and identifies and evaluates additional obstacles related to the electricity sector’s regulatory framework.
Emission pricing is largely considered the most efficient policy to drive the …
Immobilizing Conceptual Debates, Jonas Claes
Immobilizing Conceptual Debates, Jonas Claes
Human Rights & Human Welfare
In “Think Again: Failed States,” James Traub argues that “state failure” is a failed concept. Prioritizing efforts to prevent or address state fragility, weakness, or failure may seem impractical given the conceptual breadth of this systemic challenge. Like globalization, human security, or climate change, state failure contains so many aspects that it becomes analytically useless. But the need to rethink this garbage-can concept—everything can be thrown in—does not keep us from addressing the litany of well-understood challenges subsumed within.

The Federal Government’S Ability To Respond To A Major Terrorist Attack: Issues, Concerns And Inadequacies In The Disaster Law Construct, M. Jonathan Gil
The Federal Government’S Ability To Respond To A Major Terrorist Attack: Issues, Concerns And Inadequacies In The Disaster Law Construct, M. Jonathan Gil
Michael J Gil
The cunning and zeal of the world’s terrorist organizations require that this country prepare itself for large-scale disaster relief operations. As it stands, the Stafford Act, as well as federal and local government policies are lacking. The federal government has floundered in past situations, and Americans have died as a result. In order to remedy these shortcomings, the government should take two different stances: hands on, and hands off. The hands-on approach is designed to address the shortfalls of past disaster response and the current system, while the hands-off approach is designed to allow the entire relief operation to operate …
Eliciting An Emotional Response: An Analysis Of Revenge And The Criminal Justice System, Daniel Johnson
Eliciting An Emotional Response: An Analysis Of Revenge And The Criminal Justice System, Daniel Johnson
Daniel Johnson
This essay analyzes the role of revenge, if any, in the criminal justice system today. In particular it focuses on the propriety of victim impact statements, predominately in relation to a defendant's opportunity to produce mitigating evidence at trial. Through the course of the evaluation, the paper looks at the psychological effects, both positive and negative, of our current criminal justice system in relation to other, revenge-based systems.
Generic Wish-Lists For State-Centric Policies, Edzia Carvalho
Generic Wish-Lists For State-Centric Policies, Edzia Carvalho
Human Rights & Human Welfare
The Central America depicted in the article under review resembles a region visited by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—colonial Conquest, civil War, Famine and other natural disasters, and poverty, disease and Death. Added to this list of woes are the recent drug-fueled conflict, democratic instability, weak state capacity, and the socio-economic fallout of the economic recession in the United States. While the first half of the article records these problems, the author shifts gears in the second half and provides an array of responses to these challenges, with a forceful recommendation that states in the region focus their efforts …
Eminent Domain In The Wake Of The Kelo Decision, Matthew J. Rogers
Eminent Domain In The Wake Of The Kelo Decision, Matthew J. Rogers
Honors Theses
The controversial Supreme Court decision, Kelo v. The City of New London, allowed a local government to utilize eminent domain to transfer land from one private entity to another in order to enhance economic development. In response, state governments rushed to pass legislation in order to curtail the use of eminent domain. State governments, however, struggled to pass meaningful eminent domain legislation, since many powerful forces, such as major corporations, stood in their way. Opponents of eminent domain claim that the politically weakest in our society, namely the poor and racial minorities, are saddled with the resulting hardship emanating from …
Economic Policy After A Lost Decade--From Over-Spending To Innovation, Timothy M. Kaine
Economic Policy After A Lost Decade--From Over-Spending To Innovation, Timothy M. Kaine
University of Richmond Law Review
In this article, I want to focus on one aspect of our economic recovery-namely, how do we grow an economy without relying upon debt-fueled overconsumption? I argue that the magnitude of the 2007-2009 collapse was based significantly on unsustainable spending that had propped up the previous expansion. National policy during the first years of the last decade turned a sizable national surplus into a huge deficit through war spending, tax cuts, and expansion of public programs that were not paid for.The spending patterns of American families followed a similar pattern in which traditional savings rates shrunk precipitously while family debt …

Corporate, Political, And Academic Perspectives On Tennessee Higher Education Accountability Policy, Andrew Quentin Morse
Masters Theses
The purposes of the research are (1) to identify the similarities and differences among corporate, political, and academic leaders in Tennessee on postsecondary education accountability policy and (2) to investigate ways for improving accountability policy as evidenced by the various stakeholders. The two following research questions will be adapted from the larger, ongoing study by Bogue et al. (2009) on accountability:
· What differences and similarities exist among corporate, political, and academic stakeholders on the issues of collegiate mission and issues of accountability definition and evidence?

(Re)Constituting The Immigrant Body Through Policy: A Rhetorical Analysis Of The Narratives Within The Discourses Of The Development, Relief, And Education For Alien Minors Act (Dream Act), Emily Rae Ironside
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Using the testimonies surrounding the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors Act (DREAM Act) as a primary case study, this project provides a rhetorical investigation of the interplay between narratives, nation building, national identity, policymaking, and the American immigrant. This project first identifies the grand narrative of exclusionary nationalism as the primary narrative constituting the American identity. Then, this project examines the rhetoric of policymakers to demonstrate how an Anglo-Saxonized, elitist notion of American identity is rhetorically constituted by assimilationist, racist, xenophobic, and classist discourses. Moreover, it argues policymakers maintain the narrative dominance of exclusionary nationalism through restrictive immigration …

China And The New Asia: Policy Recommendations, Tasha N. Haug
China And The New Asia: Policy Recommendations, Tasha N. Haug
Senior Honors Theses
The People’s Republic of China is an indispensable political and economic force in Asia. With the majority of the United States’ foreign economic interests invested in the Asia-Pacific region, the leading role that China is taking is a major concern. The Asia-Pacific region is strategically important to the US. How US policy makers craft foreign policy toward Asia has a direct impact on US involvement in the region. Unless the US becomes more invested in Asia, develops a comprehensive understanding of China’s role in the region, and proactively pursue strategic relationships, US influence in Asian affairs will become a thing …
How Public Schools Can Constitutionally Halt Cyberbullying: A Model Cyberbullying Policy That Survives First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, And Due Process Challenges, Naomi Harlin Goodno
How Public Schools Can Constitutionally Halt Cyberbullying: A Model Cyberbullying Policy That Survives First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, And Due Process Challenges, Naomi Harlin Goodno
Naomi Harlin Goodno
There have been all too many recent cases where children are taking their lives because of cyberbullying. Schools, courts, and legislatures are struggling with how to deal with such tragedies. Imagine two public school students, Joe and Jane. Joe punches Jane during class. The school is certainly within its legal rights to discipline Joe. Assume, instead, Joe punches Jane while both are walking home from school. The school cannot discipline Joe because the act took place off-campus. Now, assume instead, that Joe, while at home and using his own laptop, creates a website about Jane stating that he wished she …
Learning From Our Past To Help Save Our Future: Historical Public Health Crises And How These Lessons Will Help Solve Obesity, Kate M. Emminger
Learning From Our Past To Help Save Our Future: Historical Public Health Crises And How These Lessons Will Help Solve Obesity, Kate M. Emminger
Kate M Emminger
The obesity epidemic continues to plague the United States. Debates regarding strategies to solve the obesity crisis are constant but little has been accomplished by public health officials. Obesity is a multi-faceted, stigmatized problem, but it is not beyond the reach of public health. To prove that public health strategies must be utilized to solve the obesity crisis, this paper makes a comparative analysis between past successful public health campaigns and the obesity epidemic. Enlightening parallels exist between the bubonic plague, tobacco cessation and obesity. The bubonic plague parallels obesity because the plague lacked a pill or vaccine cure, was …

Collective Bargaining In The Shadow Of The Charter Cathedral: Union Strategies In A Post B.C. Health World, Michael Macneil
Collective Bargaining In The Shadow Of The Charter Cathedral: Union Strategies In A Post B.C. Health World, Michael Macneil
Dalhousie Law Journal
For the first twenty-five years after the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was enacted, it appeared that it would have little impact on Canadian labour laws. The Supreme Court of Canada took the view that the guarantee of freedom of association in the Charter did not include a right to strike and did notprovide protection for collective bargaining. Common law rules regulating picketing did not come within the scope of the Charter's rules on freedom of expression. Academic commentators were divided on whether this was a good or a bad thing, some espousing the hope that the Charter could …

Non-Majority Union Representation Conforms To Ilo Freedom Of Association Principles And (Potentially) Promotes Inter-Union Collaboration: New Zealand Lessons For Canada, Mark Harcourt, Helen Lam
Dalhousie Law Journal
North American union certification violates workers' freedom of association, a fundamental human right well established by the International Labour Organization (ILO); by denying workers the right to be represented when a majority of their co-workers does not favour a union. In Canada, the Supreme Court has drawn on ILO standards to recognize a constitutional right to bargain collectively and organize as part of freedom of association under section 2(d) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. However, such recognition of the ILO principles has, as yet, to translate into legislation that would provide non-exclusive, non-majority union representation, at least in …
Gimme Shelter, Robert Leckey
Gimme Shelter, Robert Leckey
Dalhousie Law Journal
Highlighting the family home's significance as shelter this paper challenges the prevailing view of the demands of the equality guarantee in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms regarding unmarried cohabitants. In Nova Scotia (Attorney General) v. Walsh, the Supreme Court of Canada rejected the claim that it was discriminatory to restrict rules dividing matrimonial property to married couples. By contrast, on many views it is discriminatory to exclude cohabitants from a support obligation. Scholars and judges assume that Walsh upholds all statutory rules regarding married spouses and their property, including measures protecting the family home as shelter But Walsh …

The Taxpayer’S Burden From Product-Related Harm, W. Jonathan Cardi, Ruth Ruttenberg, Estye Ross
The Taxpayer’S Burden From Product-Related Harm, W. Jonathan Cardi, Ruth Ruttenberg, Estye Ross
W. Jonathan Cardi
Hundreds of billions of dollars are spent every year in the public sector as a result of death, injury, and illness associated with products. The taxpayer takes on this burden, a reality that ought to be considered by courts and policy makers when setting the standards for liability and levels of regulation governing products. Yet, to date, the government has made no attempt to trace specific government expenditures to product-related injuries. Indeed, due to the dearth of government data on the subject, no one to the authors’ knowledge has even constructed an estimate of product-related public expenditures. This article attempts …
The Abortion Informed Consent Debate: More Light, Less Heat, Nadia N. Sawicki
The Abortion Informed Consent Debate: More Light, Less Heat, Nadia N. Sawicki
Nadia N. Sawicki
State abortion informed consent laws – including those requiring physicians to disclose that abortion terminates the life of a “whole, separate, unique, living human being” or display ultrasound images to patients seeking abortions – are being adopted at a rapid pace. Health law scholars who oppose these laws uniformly criticize them as being fundamentally inconsistent with the doctrine of informed consent. This Article directly challenges this conventional approach. It argues that the doctrine of informed consent does not impose nearly as significant a barrier to abortion disclosure laws as many critics claim. Rather, the ethical and legal principles of informed …

Colonial Relics: Unearthing The Lingering Of Tyranny Of Colonial Discourse In U.S. –Caribbean Immigration Law And Policy, Glenys Spence
Glenys Spence
Immigration law is constantly evolving. It is one of the most dynamic and multi-faceted areas of law. Specifically, in the space of asylum and refugee law, practitioners, immigration judges and our appellate courts face a daunting task of reconciling the law with the plethora of human misery that flock to our shores. The laws are plagued with ambiguity and complexity, and the task of interpretation is a daunting one. As a result, legal interpretation by our immigration courts can leave immigrants to languish in “a field of pain and death.” This article will examine the politics of location inherent in …
