Success, Dominance, And Interoperability, Alan Devlin, Michael Jacobs, Bruno Peixoto
Indiana Law Journal
In September 2007, the European Court of First Instance (CFI) ruled that Microsoft violated the European Union's competition law by failing to provide certain of its rivals with proprietary computer protocols that would have enabled them to make their products fully "interoperable" with Microsoft's dominant operating system. In the process, the court suggested that an owner of certain kinds of dominant intellectual property is obliged to share its property with rivals to the extent necessary to allow those rivals to compete "viably" with the dominant firm. Thus, in theory, should protocol sharing fail to achieve the requisite degree of "viability, …

The Merits Of Global Constitutionalism, Anne Peters
The Merits Of Global Constitutionalism, Anne Peters
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Global constitutionalism is an agenda that identifies and advocates for the application of constitutionalist principles in the international legal sphere. Global constitutionalization is the gradual emergence of constitutionalist features in international law. Critics of global constitutionalism doubt the empirical reality of constitutionalization, call into question the analytic value of constitutionalism as an academic approach, and fear that the discourse is normatively dangerous because it is anti-pluralist, artificially creates a false legitimacy, and promises an unrealistic end of politics. This article addresses these objections. I argue that global constitutionalization is likely to compensate for globalization induced constitutionalist deficits on the national …

Defragmentation Of Public International Law Through Interpretation: A Methodological Proposal, Anne Van Aaken
Defragmentation Of Public International Law Through Interpretation: A Methodological Proposal, Anne Van Aaken
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Fragmentation of public international law (PIL) is perceived as a growing problem and answers to it are proliferating. International courts and tribunals are adjudicating ever more on issues that would be considered-were they not transnational or international in nature-constitutional problems. In national law, countervailing values, or intra-constitutional conflicts, are reconciled through a balancing of those values that is usually embedded in the application of the proportionality principle. A similar mechanism in PIL remains underdeveloped from a methodological point of view. This article aims to develop a methodological proposal for defragmentation through interpretation, drawing on legal theory, to be more precise …
Is There An International Environmental Constitution?, Daniel Bodansky
Is There An International Environmental Constitution?, Daniel Bodansky
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The surge of interest among international lawyers in "constitutionalism" represents one of several efforts to reconceptualize internationa governance; others include the research projects on global administrative law and legalization. The article applies the constitutionalist lens to international environmental law-one of the few fields of international law to which constitutionalist modes of analysis have not yet been applied. Given the protean quality oft he terms "constitution"and "constitutionalism,"t he article begins by unpacking these concepts. By disaggregating these concepts into a number of separate variables, which have more determinate, unambiguous meanings, we can answer the question, "Is there an international environmental constitution?", …
Civil Rights In International Law: Compliance With Aspects Of The "International Bill Of Rights", Beth Simmons
Civil Rights In International Law: Compliance With Aspects Of The "International Bill Of Rights", Beth Simmons
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
International law has developed what many might consider a constitutional understanding of individual civil rights that individuals can claim vis-à-vis their own governments. This article discusses the development of aspects of international law relating to civil rights and argues that if this body of law is meaningful, we should see evidence of links between acceptance of international legal obligation and domestic practices. Recognizing that external forms of enforcement of civil rights is unlikely (because doing so is not generally in the interest of potential "enforcers"), I argue that international civil rights treaties will have their greatest effect where stakeholders-local citizens-have …
When Common Interests Are Not Common: Why The Global Basic Structure Should Be Democratic, Andreas Føllesdal
When Common Interests Are Not Common: Why The Global Basic Structure Should Be Democratic, Andreas Føllesdal
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The global constitution-the fundamental international norms and structures that serve constitutional functions-should include mechanisms of democratic contestation and accountability. This central claim of global constitutionalism faces three objections extrapolated from arguments made by Andrew Moravcsik and Giandomenico Majone in debates about the democratic deficit of the European Union (EU): the global constitution only regulates issues of low salience for citizens; democratic control is explicitly counter to the self-binding system that international regulations aim to achieve; and the EU's track record suggests that democratic control at the international level may be unnecessary to ensure congruence between voters' preferences and actual regulations. …
Constitutionalization And The Unity Of The Law Of International Responsibility, André Nolkaemper
Constitutionalization And The Unity Of The Law Of International Responsibility, André Nolkaemper
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The law of international responsibility fulfills essentially two functions: reparation for injury and protection of the rule of law and global order. Notwithstanding the fundamental difference between these objectives, the law of international responsibility traditionally has been conceived in unitary norms consisting of a single set of principles that applies to all breaches of rules of international law. With the further development of international law that unity becomes difficult to maintain. On the one hand, there is an increasing need for a further refinement of liability principles for the determination of compensation for injury. On the other hand, the process …
On The Constitutionability Of Global Public Policy Networks, Petra Dobner
On The Constitutionability Of Global Public Policy Networks, Petra Dobner
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Global Public Policy Networks (GPPNs) are increasingly influential in the global policy-making process. According to the Global Public Policy Institute, GPPNs are cross-sectoral coalitions of actors from governments, international organizations, civil society, and private industry. In structure, these networks differ from traditional hierarchical organizations, but their primary functions-negotiation, coordination, rulemaking, and implementation-pick up the classic tasks of formal international organizations and intergovernmental cooperation.
The power and acceptance of these networks are based on the real or alleged expertise of their members, their former or current formal positions in national or international organizations or private industry, and their personal connections. Although …
Constitutionalism, Legal Pluralism, And International Regimes, Alec Stone Sweet
Constitutionalism, Legal Pluralism, And International Regimes, Alec Stone Sweet
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The international legal order, although pluralist in structure, is in the process of being constitutionalized. This article supports this claim in several different ways. In the Part L I argue that most accepted understandings of "constitution" would readily apply to at least some international regimes. In Part II,I discuss different notions of "constitutional pluralism," and demonstrate that legal pluralism is not necessarily antithetical to constitutionalism. In fact, one finds a great deal of constitutional pluralism within national legal orders in Europe. Part III puts forward an argument that the European Court of Justice, the European Court of Human Rights, and …
International Rule Of Law And Constitutional Justice In International Investment Law And Arbitration, Ernst-Ulrich Petersmann
International Rule Of Law And Constitutional Justice In International Investment Law And Arbitration, Ernst-Ulrich Petersmann
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Judicial administration of justice through reasoned interpretation, application and clarification of legal principles and rules is among the oldest paradigms of constitutional justice. The principles of procedural justice underlying investor-state arbitration remain controversial, especially if confidentiality and party autonomy governing commercial arbitration risk neglecting adversely affected third parties and public interests. There are also concerns that rule-following and formal equality of foreign investors and home states may not ensure substantive justice in the settlement of investment disputes unless arbitrators and courts take more seriously their customary law obligation of settling disputes in conformity with human rights obligations of governments and …
Multilayered Governance, Pluralism, And Moral Conflict, Thomas Cottier
Multilayered Governance, Pluralism, And Moral Conflict, Thomas Cottier
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The quest for multilayered governance faces the problem of endemic tensions and disagreements in international relations and doubts as to whether nations truly share common values upon which an international society can be solidly built. Values, however, are equally controversial within the nation-state. We find similar tensions within domestic and regional layers of governance. In any system of governance, diverging and competing values are inevitable. There are differences in degree, but not in principle, when comparing traits of domestic and international governance. Legal experience in the fields of human rights and international trade regulation indicates that under such conditions, procedures …

Shooting Blanks: The War On Tax Havens, Timothy V. Addison
Shooting Blanks: The War On Tax Havens, Timothy V. Addison
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The United States Treasury conservatively estimates that tax havens cost the United States over $100 billion annually in lost tax revenue. In response to this epidemic, the United States and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development entered into Tax Information Exchange Agreements with states considered to be tax havens. These agreements received widespread recognition as a means of remedying this growing problem. These agreements, however, are largely symbolic and provide very few additional weapons to combat tax evasion enabled by tax havens. As evidence of this, the estimated annual loss of tax revenue due to tax havens has increased …

A Look At Traditional Islam's General Discord With A Permanent System Of Global Cooperation, Meghan E. Tepas
A Look At Traditional Islam's General Discord With A Permanent System Of Global Cooperation, Meghan E. Tepas
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In today's world, nation-states do not operate in isolation. Rather, the myriad global organizations and cross-border treaties evidence that the post-World War II political climate is one of interconnectedness and cooperation between states. Against this backdrop, this Note surveys the tension between the current global world order and a strict adherence to traditional source-based application of Islamic law, Shari'a. The tension begins with the concept of statehood, seemingly absent in traditional Islam, and continues with the Islamic unification of religion and state and its limited role for a political leader. Using Iran as an example, this Note argues that political …

Restrictive Trade Measures Based On Extraterritorial Human Rights Violations: An Analysis Under Allocation Of Regulatory Jurisdiction And Transaction Costs, Gustavo Ferreira Ribeiro
Restrictive Trade Measures Based On Extraterritorial Human Rights Violations: An Analysis Under Allocation Of Regulatory Jurisdiction And Transaction Costs, Gustavo Ferreira Ribeiro
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
Are states entitled to take unilateral or collective trade measures in cases of extraterritorial human rights violations? Are states obligated to do so? The debate is often blurred by a multitude of legal, political, economic, and moral arguments that have, so far, produced many misunderstandings. On one hand, the human rights community alleges that the superiority of human rights resolves any conflict. On the other hand, the trade community fears the intrusion of human rights language and power within the trade regime, including multilateral regimes like the World Trade Organization.
While exploring the above issue, this dissertation unfolds in three …

Emerging Global Environmental Governance, N. Brian Winchester
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Environmental thinking and activism are steadily gaining widespread, even global acceptance, but are often in conflict with economic interests and international politics. Environmental priorities are further challenged by scientific uncertainty involving effects that in some cases will only become manifest far into the future. Nonetheless, accompanying this global environmental awakening has been an extraordinary number of international agreements on a wide range of critical environmental issues. While many of these environmental regimes lack adequate financial support and sanctions for non-compliance, they involve a variety of non-state actors, suggesting meaningful movement towards an evolving, complex form of global environmental governance. Indeed, …

Deliberative Democracy In Severely Fractured Societies, Adeno Addis
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The world is full of boundaries. Whatever their nature, boundaries provide the conditions for communal or individual identity and agency, and they make collective action possible. That very capacity to define and contain, however, allows boundaries to "close off possibilities of being that might otherwise flourish." Paradoxically, boundaries "both foster and inhibit freedom." This article explores how one particular boundary-ethnicity- has served both as an important source of identity and a cause of deep fracture in societies that this article calls "severely fractured." The purpose of the article is to explore what institutional structures and processes might be appropriate to …
An Essay On The Emergence Of Constitutional Courts: The Cases Of Mexico And Columbia, Miguel Schor
An Essay On The Emergence Of Constitutional Courts: The Cases Of Mexico And Columbia, Miguel Schor
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This essay explores the emergence of the Mexican Supreme Court and the Colombian Constitutional Court as powerful political actors. Mexico and Colombia undertook constitutional transformations designed to empower their respective national high courts in the 1990s to facilitate a democratic transition. These constitutional transformations opened up political space for the Mexican Supreme Court and the Colombian Constitutional Court to begin to displace political actors in the tasks of constitutional construction and maintenance.
These two courts play different roles, however, in their respective democratic orders. Mexico chose to empower its Supreme Court to police vertical and horizontal separation of powers whereas …
