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.

Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Globalization of the world has forced the evolution of international norms. Never before has the world been able to communicate so quickly across borders. Instantaneous global communication-the ability to send and receive not just e-mail messages, but documents, videos, and software-enables this instant communication.

Building A Strong Subnational Debt Market, Paul S. Maco
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Decentralization of responsibility for finance and growing infrastructure needs are two trends that are expected to stimulate a growth in government borrowing at the sub-national level. Statistics for the first half of 2000 show a significant increase in sub-national debt volume, with global public finance, excluding Canada and the United States, more than doubling that of the first half of 1999.
The Economic Case For Labor Standards: A Layman’S Guide, Thomas I. Palley
The Economic Case For Labor Standards: A Layman’S Guide, Thomas I. Palley
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
The place of labor standards in the global economy has figured prominently in recent discussions of trade and globalization. Labor standards figured prominently in the Seattle meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1999, and they promise to figure prominently in discussions about a proposed Free Trade Area of Americas (FTAA). Labor standards represent a critical issue for both the American labor movement and the international trade union movement as they are central to making globalization work for working people.

The Workers In The Globalized Economy: The European Way To The Foundation And Enforcement Of The Social Rights, Maurizio Del Conte
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
In recent years, a new term has spread like wildfire to become a catch-all word in a regions of the world-globalization. The word i ubiquitous, splashed in newspapers, dissected in essays and academic journals, bandied at symposiums, quizzed by the man in the street and shouted against by parching protesters.
An Essential Element Of Fair Trade And Sustainable Development In The Ftaa Is An Enforceable Social Clause, Terry Collingsworth
An Essential Element Of Fair Trade And Sustainable Development In The Ftaa Is An Enforceable Social Clause, Terry Collingsworth
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Multinational companies (“MNCs”) and governments that are fantasizing about a Free Trade Area of the Americas (“FTAA”) should accept the reality that the FTAA is not politically viable for the time being unless the issues of labor rights and other social conditions are addressed in a manner demonstrating that these rights are consistent with commercial rights that are protected in careful detail in many pages of the draft FTAA agreement.
Does Free Trade Cause Hunger? Hidden Implications Of The Ftaa, Jonathan B. Wight
Does Free Trade Cause Hunger? Hidden Implications Of The Ftaa, Jonathan B. Wight
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
This division of labour, from which so many advantages are derived, is not originally the effects of any human wisdom, which forsees and intends that general opulence to which it gives occasion. It is the necessary, though very slow and gradual consequence of a certain propensity in human nature which has in view no such extensive utility; the propensity to truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another.

An Oasis Or Just A Mirage: The Jericho Casino And The Future Of The Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process, Edward B. Miller
An Oasis Or Just A Mirage: The Jericho Casino And The Future Of The Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process, Edward B. Miller
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
More than seven years have passed since the signing of the historic peace agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (“P.L.O.”). While the final borders and powers of a Palestinian State are still being discussed by the parties to the agreement, the fact of Palestinian autonomy is an irreversible reality. As such, the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip has slowly been giving way to a self-governing Palestinian body which now administers most of the territories and nearly all of the Palestinian who reside therein.

The Geography Of Injustice: Borders And The Continuing Immiseration Of California Agricultural Labor In Era Of "Free Trade", Don M. Mitchell
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Why is it that when the reigning ideology governing the expansion of “free trade” is anti-regulatory”, all agree that the movement of people, or rather laborers, must be carefully regulated? Indeed, why are borders strengthened for people just as states of the Western Hemisphere embark on a thorough reconfiguration, and even a dismantling, or borders for capital and goods.
The Misappropriation Theory Under The Chinese Securities Law - A Comparative Study With Its U.S. Counterpart, Wenyan Ma
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
The first stock exchange in China, the Shanghai Stock Exchange, opened n December 1990. Since then, China’s securities market has been a journey of unprecedented development. However, the fledgling securities market is troubled by rampant securities fraud, evidence by Chinese officials’ open admission that investment in China’s securities market is very risky because of fraud and corruption. After a tortuous six-year drafting process, on December 29, 1998, the Chinese parliament passed the country’s first national Securities Law (“the Chinese Securities Law”), hoping to regulate the overwhelming fraud and corruption in China’s securities market. The Chinese Securities Law devoted one entire …
Comparative Law As A Comprehensive Approach: A European Tribute To Professor Jack A. Hiller, Bernhard Grossfield
Comparative Law As A Comprehensive Approach: A European Tribute To Professor Jack A. Hiller, Bernhard Grossfield
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
An aura of "malaise" hangs over the field of Comparative Law'- sometimes alluded to as the "drama" of Comparative Law (private and public). Indeed, the comparative scholar is often asked whether his work has any practical importance. This is the question he fears most. A German legal philosopher once criticized the whole approach as follows: "Nobody asks what comparative law is and how it should be pursued. Thus, it is less to build a new structure from the laws compared, but to leave an accumulation of raw bricks in a heap that will never be used." Still today it is …

Planning For High Net-Worth U.S. Persons Through The Use Of Offshore Life Insurance, J. Richard Duke
Richmond Journal of Global Law & Business
Sophisticated planning for the high net-worth United States citizens often includes the use of offshore variable life insurance. Such leading edge planning is accomplished through structures that provide income, gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer tax planning not available domestically. In addition to providing sophisticated tax and estate planning benefits, variable life insurance policies issued by foreign-based carriers have numerous economic advantages.
