Global Antitrust From The Global South: A Comparative Law Void, Dina I. Waked
Global Antitrust From The Global South: A Comparative Law Void, Dina I. Waked
FIU Law Review
This paper discusses the attempts at creating an international antitrust regime from the perspective of the Global South. Today’s diffused competition laws, have arguably muted calls for an international antitrust regime. Given this diffusion, a global regime has indeed emerged. Within such a system, differentiated and selective antitrust enforcements are proposed as ways to achieve national public interest goals.

Regulatory Incentive Realignment And The Eu Legal Framework Of Bank Resolution, Andromachi Georgosouli
Brooklyn Journal of Corporate, Financial & Commercial Law
Risks associated with incentive misalignment are liable to seriously jeopardize the effectiveness of bank resolution, when not properly contained. This Article considers the management of misaligned incentives between regulators that are found in a vertical relationship of public governance. Using the EU legal framework of bank resolution as its case study, this Article explores the effectiveness of the quasi-enforcement powers of the Single Resolution Board (SRB) and, where relevant, of the European Banking Authority (EBA) as an incentive realignment legal technique. Two principal difficulties are identified: on the one hand, the problematic interinstitutional dynamic of the SRB and the EBA …

Harmonization, But Not Homogenization: The Case For Cuban Autonomy In Globalizing Economic Reforms, Heather Shreve
Harmonization, But Not Homogenization: The Case For Cuban Autonomy In Globalizing Economic Reforms, Heather Shreve
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Since 1959, Cuba has been an anomaly in the Western Hemisphere. From its fierce isolationism to its steadfast commitment to-communism and Fidel Castro, the Cuban model shunned many modern conventions and developments of the increasingly globalized world. However, in the last decade, subtle shifts in Cuban governance and control led some scholars to question if and how Cuba could participate in the modern, global economy. President Razil Castro answered the speculation in late 2010 with an announcement regarding Cuban economic modernization and, again, in 2011, as significant economic reforms were implemented. All of these changes beg the ultimate question: Can …

Reports & Public Policy Documents
In the European Union, copyright law is increasingly a matter for the European legislator. Member states retain ever less competence to regulate intellectual property rights.
This study critically examines the 'acquis communautaire' in the field of copyright and related (neighbouring) rights, focusing on the seven copyright specific directives, from the 1991 Software directive to the 2001 Information Society Directive. It also deals with distinct issues that are on the agenda of the EU: After reviewing arguments for and against the extension of the term of protection of phonograms (sound recordings), the authors conclude there is no convincing case for extending …
Conflicts In The Regulation Of Hostile Business Takeovers In The United State And The European Union, Barbara Ann White
Conflicts In The Regulation Of Hostile Business Takeovers In The United State And The European Union, Barbara Ann White
All Faculty Scholarship
This essay focuses on hostile business takeovers to illustrate the significance that cultural differences among nations can play in developing a harmonized European Union law. After 12 years of development, the EU Directive regulating hostile takeovers, to everyone’s surprise, was voted down in the EU Parliament in 2001. The EU Parliament consists of the member nations and the movement to defeat the Directive was led by Germany, which had just suffered a brutal hostile takeover of its largest company by British raiders.
The “harmonization” efforts within the EU (i.e., establishing uniform laws among the member nations) mirrors the federalism movement …
Free Movement Of Goods: A Comparative Analysis Of The European Community Treaty And The North American Free Trade Agreement, Pedro A. Perichart
Free Movement Of Goods: A Comparative Analysis Of The European Community Treaty And The North American Free Trade Agreement, Pedro A. Perichart
LLM Theses and Essays
The European Union is currently an economic union, which means that it has almost removed every internal barrier to trade, therefore achieving the free circulation of all factors of production (goods, services, capital, and persons) across the union. The North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) establishes a free trade area, with the main purpose of eliminating tariffs among its members, and to some extent, reducing other non-tariff barriers to facilitate the cross-border movement of goods. Despite their difference, both regions seek to achieve a certain degree of free movement when trading goods within their respective e internal markets. This study …

L'Intégration Juridique Et Le Droit Des Sûretés Réelles, Mauro Bussani
Mauro Bussani
Many inter-governmental and scholarly projects focus on the harmonization of the law of security interests. The aim of the paper is to present and evaluate the goals that these enterprises pursue, as well as the challenges they face. In order to do so, the paper first examines the main features of the above projects. It then proceeds to analyze, from a comparative point of view, what is similar and what is different between Western laws on security interests. Such a comparative survey sheds light, on the one hand, on the variety of legal solutions and (above all) cultural approaches one …
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.

Finally, the article discusses where we should go next in the quest to create greater harmony in a truly global marketplace.
Labor And The Global Economy: Four Approaches To Transnational Labor Regulation, Katherine Van Wezel Stone
Labor And The Global Economy: Four Approaches To Transnational Labor Regulation, Katherine Van Wezel Stone
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article examines the challenge to domestic labor regulation posed by the increasingly international economic and legal order. Part I analyzes the several ways in which increased global economic integration creates problems for labor. These problems include a decline in union bargaining power, a race-to-the-bottom in labor standards, and a weakening of labor's role as political actor. Part II identifies four approaches, or models, for transnational labor regulation that have emerged in the Western world in the past twenty years. These are: (1) preemptive legislation; (2) harmonization; (3) cross-border monitoring; and (4) extraterritorial jurisdiction. Part III explores the differences between …

The Termination Of Agency And Distributorship Agreements: A Comparative Survey, A.H. Puelinckx, H.A. Tielemans
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The termination of agency agreements in most EEC Member States is regulated by statute, while the termination of distributorship agreements, with the exception of Belgium, is governed by case law. Messrs. Puelinckx and Tielemans first survey the state of the law governing the termination of agency and distributorship agreements in the EEC Member States and then discuss the efforts of the EEC to harmonize the national laws of the Member States in the area of commercial representation. The authors conclude by supporting the EEC harmonization effort relating to the laws regulating agency agreements and by calling for further efforts to …
