Canada’S Arctic Policy Framework: Governance Transformation In Nunavut, C. Mark Macneill
Canada’S Arctic Policy Framework: Governance Transformation In Nunavut, C. Mark Macneill
Sustainable Development Law & Policy
On August 28, 2017 Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau committed to a renewed relationship with Indigenous Peoples based on the recognition of rights, respect, co-operation and partnership. To accomplish this mission, major structural changes in how the Government of Canada engages and relates with Indigenous peoples across the country were co-developed with indigenous, territorial and provincial partners to form a new Arctic Policy Framework (APF). This has had major implications of departmental transformation, particularly for the former Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs (INAC), Nunavut. Regional Office (NRO), its staff, programs, and operations.

Indecency Regulation Of The Fcc And Censorship Law In Republic Korea: Comparison And Contrasts, Min-Soo "Minee" Roh
Upper Level Writing Requirement Research Papers
Regulating music on radio or television is not a straightforward process, as the music is comprised of lyrics of words. On top of the lyrics, any music performance has an additional layer of choreography and dress code. If any individual elements or combined elements is obscene or indecent, the government attempts to regulate broadcasting both music and performance. This leads to regulating general speech on communications and it requires this paper to look into regulation of broadcasting in general and specific examples of music broadcasting regulation on radio and television, particularly, in the United States (“States”) and in Republic of …
Foreign Investments And The Market For Law, Susan Franck
Foreign Investments And The Market For Law, Susan Franck
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
In this Article, Professors O'Hara O'Connor and Franck adapt and extend Larry Ribstein's positive framework for analyzing the role of jurisdictional competition in the law market. Specifically, the authors provide an institutional framework focused on interest group representation that can be used to balance the tensions underlying foreign investment law, including the desire to compete to attract investments and countervailing preferences to retain domestic policy-making discretion. The framework has implications for the respective roles of BITs and investment contracts as well as the inclusion and interpretation of various foreign investment provisions.
Conflating Politics And Development? Examining Investment Treaty Arbitration Outcomes, Susan Franck
Conflating Politics And Development? Examining Investment Treaty Arbitration Outcomes, Susan Franck
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
International dispute settlement is an area of ongoing evaluation and tension within the international political economy. As states continue their negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the efficacy of international arbitration as a method of dispute settlement remains controversial. Whereas some sing its praises as a method of protecting private property interests against improper government interference, others decry investment treaty arbitration (ITA) as biased against states. The literature has thus far not disentangled how politics and development contribute to investment dispute outcomes. In an effort to control for the effect of internal …
Through The Looking Glass: Understanding Social Science Norms For Analyzing International Investment Law, Susan Franck, Calvin Garbin, Jenna Perkins
Through The Looking Glass: Understanding Social Science Norms For Analyzing International Investment Law, Susan Franck, Calvin Garbin, Jenna Perkins
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
When social science methods are being employed in a new context — such as the assessment of international investment law — there is value in exploring the underlying assumptions and normative baselines of the enterprise. This article and response address critiques about the methodology of an article in the Harvard International Law Journal by: (1) describing the value of social science in international investment law; (2) replicating the research using new methodologies to conduct more than 20 new tests that were still unable to ascertain the existence of a reliable relationship between development status and outcomes on the basis of …

What The Swiss Miss (Review Of Friedrich Durrenmatt, Selected Writings), Kenneth Anderson
What The Swiss Miss (Review Of Friedrich Durrenmatt, Selected Writings), Kenneth Anderson
Popular Media
The Swiss playwright and novelist Friedrich Durrenmatt (1921-90) is remembered among English-language audiences primarily as the author of the 1956 play, The Visit of the Old Lady. He is, however, a leading playwright and novelist, primarily of detective fiction, of Europe and the German language in the post-war period. This review from the Wall Street Journal examines the full body of his work in a three volume selection of his writings published by the University of Chicago. One important consideration is Durrenmatt's place as a German language writer, yet Swiss, rather than German, following the horrors of the Second World …

The Limits Of Pragmatism In American Foreign Policy: Unsolicited Advice To The Bush Administration On Relations With International Nongovernmental Organizations, Kenneth Anderson
The Limits Of Pragmatism In American Foreign Policy: Unsolicited Advice To The Bush Administration On Relations With International Nongovernmental Organizations, Kenneth Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The Bush Administration has tended to see international nongovernmental organizations in a pragmatic way, as functionally the international equivalent of domestic "volunteer" organizations. This article argues that the Bush Administration ought to see international nongovernmental organizations as organizations seeking to substitute so-called "international civil society," on the one hand, and public international organizations, on the other, for the authority of democratically sovereign states. Looking beyond the particular issues on which international NGOs press political agendas - human rights, environmentalism, etc. - the function of international NGOs is to delegitimize democratic sovereignty in favor of liberal internationalism. The article argues that …
After Seattle: Public International Organizations, Non-Governmental Organizations (Ngos), And Democratic Legitimacy In An Era Of Globalization: An Essay In Contested Legitimacy, Kenneth Anderson
Working Papers
This working monograph (about 120,000 words) analyzes the relationship between public international organizations such as the United Nations system and international non-governmental organizations under conditions of globalization.It argues that international organizations and international NGOs are locked in an embrace of mutual legitimation, each giving the other important political legitimacy, in favor of liberal internationalism and at the expense of democratic sovereignty. The monograph argues that the legitimacy that each gives the other is based on flawed assumptions about the nature of civil society and "international civil society," on the one hand, and global governance and the possibilities of international, global …
The Ottawa Convention Banning Landmines, The Role Of International Non-Governmental Organizations And The Idea Of International Civil Society, Kenneth Anderson
The Ottawa Convention Banning Landmines, The Role Of International Non-Governmental Organizations And The Idea Of International Civil Society, Kenneth Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Establishment of the Ottawa Convention Banning Landmines was regarded by many international law scholars, international activists, diplomats and international organization personnel as a defining, 'democratizing' change in the way international law is made. By bringing international NGOs - what is often called 'international civil society' - into the diplomatic and international law-making process, many believe that the Ottawa Convention represented both a democratization of, and a new source of legitimacy for, international law, in part because it was presumably made 'from below'. This article sharply questions whether the Ottawa Convention and the process leading up to it represents and real …

Illiberal Tolerance: An Essay On The Fall Of Yugoslavia And The Rise Of Multiculturalism In The United States, Kenneth Anderson
Illiberal Tolerance: An Essay On The Fall Of Yugoslavia And The Rise Of Multiculturalism In The United States, Kenneth Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Introduction. Journalistic and scholarly accounts of the breakup of Yugoslavia contain, taken together, a curious contradiction. On the one hand, it is said, Yugoslavia was never anything more than a "bad dream,"' a flawed attempt to unify "from above" peoples who have historically hated one another. The immediate causes of the conflict are therefore simply centuries-old ethnic hatreds. The veneer of Yugoslav federal unity was nothing more than a myth, a cosmetic surface stripped away in a trifling by deeper and darker enmities. There are old scores to settle whether dating from the Second World War or from the fourteenth …
