A Comparative Study Of Gmo Labeling And Liability Systems In The Us, Eu, And South Korea: The Circumstances And A Future Potential For Harmonization, Moonsook Park
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
With the remarkable development of GMOs, GMO trade has also increased. The different attitudes on GMOs among the countries all over the world, specifically the US, EU, and South Korea, have the potential to create international trade conflicts. In order to mediate the conflicts, reasonable labeling and liability systems need to be established to prevent potential GMO risks. The Biosafety Protocol regarding the transboundary movement of GMOs exists to resolve such tensions, but it fails to sufficiently solve the problems and provide clear regulations concerning GMO labeling and liability systems.
A successful GMO labeling and liability system should emphasize the …
Private Governance Of Knowledge: Societally-Crafted Intellectual Properties Regimes, Dan Wielsch
Private Governance Of Knowledge: Societally-Crafted Intellectual Properties Regimes, Dan Wielsch
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The evolutionary challenge global society faces is the decentralized development of legal rules that multilaterally protect social autonomies from violating each other. At the national level, democratic constitutions provide for the resolution of conflicts between different normative worlds, although the focus here is certainly on the protection of autonomies from political encroachment. However, political constitutions make sure that legal orders consider a plurality of normative perspectives. In contrast, international lawmaking can exclusively link to a specific social rationality, lacking any impartial forum for normative reconciliation. This is of special importance for the governance of intellectual resources. The incorporation of international …
What's In A Name?: Geographical Indicators, Legal Protection, And The Vulnerability Of Zinfandel, Stephen M. Jurca
What's In A Name?: Geographical Indicators, Legal Protection, And The Vulnerability Of Zinfandel, Stephen M. Jurca
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This note explores the issues countries face when one party allegedly takes unfair economic advantage of foreign competitors in an increasingly global market by broadly interpreting international product labeling laws in its favor. The United States' widespread use of the term "champagne" in its domestic sparkling wine industry is just one example of how "genericide"-the process by which a popular brand name becomes so commonly used that the term is no longer protected by intellectual property law-negatively affects trade relations and hampers economic growth. This note focuses on the dangers of genericide in the marketplace, most specifically, the international wine …

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 …
Navigating The Turbulent Waters Connecting The World Trade Organization And Corporate Social Responsibility, Gustavo Ferreira Ribeiro
Navigating The Turbulent Waters Connecting The World Trade Organization And Corporate Social Responsibility, Gustavo Ferreira Ribeiro
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This paper uses the metaphor of a fisherman's journey into the World Trade Organization (WTO) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) "seas" to explore the relationship between them. It is intended to provide the reader with a basic understanding of this relationship. An argument can be made that the WTO and CSR waters are not connected at all: the WTO is an intergovernmental organization regulating rights and duties of its members (mainly states), while CSR concerns primarily non-governmental initiatives dealing with corporate behavior, such as voluntary codes of conduct and certification processes involving social and environmental standards. However, this paper explores …
Democratization: The Contribution Of Fair Trade And Ethical Trading Movements, Janet Dine
Democratization: The Contribution Of Fair Trade And Ethical Trading Movements, Janet Dine
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
De-democratization and institutional corruption threaten equality among the expanding global market community. International treaties have been largely unsuccessful because they are designed to favor the more politically and economically advantaged players. In addition to meeting these challenges, there are many additional benefits to be gained from adopting the principles of the Fair Trade and Ethical Trading movements. Finally, international law has an obligation to integrate the principles of social and ethical trading movements to prevent the autonomous powers and transnational corporations from dominating the traditional, less powerful markets and so that welfare increases for all.
Democracy and the Transnational Private …
Lawyers As Sanctifiers: The Role Of Elite Law Firms In International Business Transactions, John Flood
Lawyers As Sanctifiers: The Role Of Elite Law Firms In International Business Transactions, John Flood
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Globalization has fundamentally accelerated and altered business transactions. The search for low labor costs and cheap raw materials has led to a proliferation of international transactions, and large, international law firms are called on to participate in complex transactions helping business tap into sources of finance around the world for investment. This article first examines the theoretical underpinnings of international legal practice, taking into account the historiography of U.S. and U.K. law firms. Part II describes the economic and political factors behind law firms' rise. Part III analyzes the success of the common law, as expressed through contract, at the …
The New Politics Of Linkage: India's Opposition To The Worker's Rights Clause, Kevin Kolben
The New Politics Of Linkage: India's Opposition To The Worker's Rights Clause, Kevin Kolben
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This article examines why India has opposed a World Trade Organization (WTO) workers' rights clause, and calls for a new way of thinking about international institutions and the link between trade and labor rights. Many labor rights supporters argue that labor rights principles should be integrated into the WTO, either via the addition of a workers' rights clause or through a 'judicial" reading of labor rights values into the existing WTO framework. But India has led a large block of developing countries in opposing any link between labor rights and the WTO. This opposition has been based primarily on economic …

The Changing Face Of Privacy Protection In The European Union And The United States, Fred H. Cate
The Changing Face Of Privacy Protection In The European Union And The United States, Fred H. Cate
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Among the wide variety of national and multinational legal regimes for protecting privacy, two dominant models have emerged, reflecting two very different approaches to the control of information. The European Union has enacted a sweeping data protection directive that imposes significant restrictions on most data collection, processing, dissemination, and storage activities, not only within Europe, but throughout the world if the data originates in a member state. The United States has taken a very different approach that extensively regulates government processing of data, while facilitating private, market-based initiatives to address private sector data processing.
Under the EU data protection directive, …

The Puzzling Relationship Between Trade And Environment: Nafta, Competitiveness, And The Pursuit Of Environmental Welfare Objectives, Ileana M. Porras
The Puzzling Relationship Between Trade And Environment: Nafta, Competitiveness, And The Pursuit Of Environmental Welfare Objectives, Ileana M. Porras
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is often claimed to be a "promising beginning" for the reconciliation of trade and environment. Professor Porras, however, suggests that the form that "reconciliation" takes in NAFTA is extremely problematic. Harmonization of standards to facilitate the free flow of trade is a familiar trade goal. NAFTA's provisions regarding environmental standards, however, are not a straightforward requirement to harmonize standards. Rather, NAFTA recognizes state autonomy in standard setting, on the one hand, while requiring a form of upward harmonization, on the other. According to Professor Porras, the result of such an arrangement is the …
Border Crossings: Nafta, Regulatory Restructuring, And The Politics Of Place, Ruth Buchanan
Border Crossings: Nafta, Regulatory Restructuring, And The Politics Of Place, Ruth Buchanan
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Professor Buchanan begins her paper by questioning whether
recent economic and political shifts towards notions of
"globalization" (e.g., the NAFTA) have failed to consider the
politics or economics of change in particular places. Her prime
example of a "place" where integration is illogically forced against
a background of differentiation is the U.S.-Mexico border region.
Through the scope of a "regulatory complex" (a complex of legal,
institutional, regulatory, and social orderings), she departs from the
common view of the NAFTA as a productive tool of North American
integration, and instead views the NAFTA as exacerbating
"differences between localities, industries, and labor …
