(De)Legitimation At The Wto Dispute Settlement Mechanism, Cosette D. Creamer, Zuzanna Godzimirska Jan 2016

(De)Legitimation At The Wto Dispute Settlement Mechanism, Cosette D. Creamer, Zuzanna Godzimirska

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

International courts employ a variety of legitimation strategies in order to establish and maintain a sound basis of support among their constituents. Existing studies on the legitimating efforts and legitimacy of the World Trade Organization's (WTO) judicial bodies have relied largely on theoretical or normative priors about what makes them legitimate. In contrast, this Article directly connects the study of courts' legitimating efforts with their effects by empirically mapping the reception of the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism's (DSM) exercise of authority by the system's primary constituents--WTO Members. Using an original data set of WTO Member statements within meetings of the …


The Club Approach To Multilateral Trade Lawmaking, Nicolas Lamp Jan 2016

The Club Approach To Multilateral Trade Lawmaking, Nicolas Lamp

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The World Trade Organization (WTO) stands at the center of an emerging structure of global economic governance. Its rules affect important aspects of everyone's lives--how much people pay for the products that they purchase, what types of employment are open to them, and which medicines they can access. And yet, while the WTO was conceived as a "negotiating machine" that would develop rules in sync with an increasingly dynamic global economy, negotiations on a new set of global trade rules have now been deadlocked for over a decade. This impasse is all the more surprising in light of the fact …


On Territoriality And International Investment Law: Applying China's Investment Treaties To Hong Kong And Macao, Odysseas G. Repousis Sep 2015

On Territoriality And International Investment Law: Applying China's Investment Treaties To Hong Kong And Macao, Odysseas G. Repousis

Michigan Journal of International Law

To date, investor-state tribunals have been preoccupied with a range of issues revolving around the territorial application (territoriality) of international investment agreements (IIAs). The importance, as well as the various forms such issues take, has recently been highlighted in the decision of the Singapore High Court (SGHC) in Laos v. Sanum. In this case, the SGHC was asked by Laos to set aside an earlier arbitral award (in Sanum v. Laos), filed by a Macanese legal entity and rendered under the China-Laos bilateral investment treaty (BIT). In approaching the matter, the SGHC set aside the award on the grounds that …


Balancing National Public Policy And Free Trade, Diane A. Desierto Jul 2015

Balancing National Public Policy And Free Trade, Diane A. Desierto

Pace International Law Review

In the wake of the impasse between the World Trade Organization (WTO) and India regarding the ratification of the Protocol to the Trade Facilitation Agreement (TFA) that concluded during the Ninth WTO Ministerial Conference in Bali, Indonesia on December of 2013, WTO Director-General Roberto Azevedo admitted that while the WTO succeeds in resolving trade disputes and monitoring trade practices, it “has failed to deliver new multilateral results since its creation.” This systemic failure in the trade negotiations pillar of the WTO is evident to all of its 160 Members. It is evident from thirteen years of stalled negotiations under the …

The Lisbon Agreement: Why The United States Should Stop Fighting The Geneva Act, Danielle Dudding Jan 2015

The Lisbon Agreement: Why The United States Should Stop Fighting The Geneva Act, Danielle Dudding

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

In May 2015, members of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) held a Diplomatic Conference that resulted in the Geneva Act of the Lisbon Agreement on Appellations of Origin and Geographical Indications. The Act modified the Lisbon Agreement (originally created in 1958), extending its previous protection of appellations of origin to geographical indications as well. The United States, which remains a non-party to the Lisbon Agreement, has been adamantly against the expansion of the Agreement to geographical indications. This Note explores the issues surrounding the Geneva Act, the state of the law and international agreements leading up to the Act, …

China's Anti-Dumping Regime And Compliance With Anti-Dumping Principles: An Analysis Using Agricultural Dumping Case Studies, Adam Soliman May 2014

China's Anti-Dumping Regime And Compliance With Anti-Dumping Principles: An Analysis Using Agricultural Dumping Case Studies, Adam Soliman

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

The paper assesses China's anti-dumping regime, one of the important structures implemented by China in order to become a full member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Section One sets forth the WTO's anti-dumping principles as well as analyzes the differences between the WTO principles and the definition of "dumping" as understood by economists. In significant respects, the WTO principles allow situations that do not actually constitute dumping-in an economic sense-to be treated as "dumping," leading to the imposition of duties and sanctions. Next, the paper evaluates the degree to which the separate anti-dumping regimes of China and the U.S. …


Food Miles: Environmental Protection Or Veiled Protectionism?, Meredith Kolsky Lewis, Andrew D. Mitchell Jan 2014

Food Miles: Environmental Protection Or Veiled Protectionism?, Meredith Kolsky Lewis, Andrew D. Mitchell

Michigan Journal of International Law

Eat local. Such a small phrase yet such a loaded proposition. Buying food from nearby sources has become a popular objective. This aim is associated with helping farmers in one’s country or region; observing the seasonality of one’s location; eating fresher foods; striving for food security; and protecting the environment. One of the unmistakable messages of the “locavore” movement is that importing food—particularly food that comes from far away—causes environmental harm. The theory is that transporting food long distances results in the release of high levels of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere and is thus a dangerous contributor to …
