U.S. Trade Policy Toward The New Nics Of Southeast Asia, Linda Y.C. Lim
U.S. Trade Policy Toward The New Nics Of Southeast Asia, Linda Y.C. Lim
Michigan Journal of International Law
As export and economic growth in Korea and Taiwan has slowed since 1988, it has increased dramatically in several countries of Southeast Asia. Thailand, for one, is chalking up a second year of eleven percent real GDP growth in 1989 to become the fastest-growing economy in the world. Malaysia and even the Philippines are not far behind, with growth predicted to reach the six to eight percent range for the second or third year in a row. Even Indonesia's growth is rising above five percent for the first time since the oil price slump of the early 1980s. Manufactures now …

Overview: U.S.-Korea And U.S.-Taiwan Trade Law Issues In Comparative Perspective, Clyde D. Stoltenberg
Michigan Journal of International Law
Since the mid-1950s, the economies of Korea and Taiwan have achieved remarkable results, with annual growth rates of ten percent not unusual in some years. During the past couple of decades, they have relied heavily on export trade, particularly with the United States, to maintain rapid growth rates and continued economic development. In 1988, for example, Korea and Taiwan enjoyed a combined trade surplus with the United States of $21.6 billion on total trade of $68.4 billion.

The Impact Of U.S. Trade Law On Government Policy Making In The Republic Of China, P. K. Chiang
Michigan Journal of International Law
Since President Reagan signed the Omnibus Trade Act on August 23, 1988, the U.S. government has completed a series of investigations according to the provisions of the Act. Consultations aimed at forcing its trading partners to adjust their trade- policies which are regarded as unfair to U.S. trade have also been held in the past ten months or so. Being one of the most important trading partners of the U.S. – both in terms of its overall trade volume and its surplus with the U.S. – the Republic of China on Taiwan (ROC) seems to have become a target of …

Michigan Journal of International Law
This article reviews the choreography of U.S. trade policy, as reflected in the U.S. government's efforts to reconcile its objectives in the Uruguay Round with its actions in its bilateral relationships with Korea and Taiwan. It illustrates how developments in four key areas of the Round - protection of intellectual property, services, investment, and agriculture - and in bilateral trade negotiations are intended to be, and can be, complementary rather than contradictory.

International Trade And Investment Regulation: Developing Jurisprudence In Taiwan, Paul S.P. Hsu
International Trade And Investment Regulation: Developing Jurisprudence In Taiwan, Paul S.P. Hsu
Michigan Journal of International Law
Past and present economic development in the Republic of China has provided a model for a successful experiment whereby a society under a workable economic and social system with very limited natural resources makes the most of what it has. Yet, the momentum of the development will not permit the R.O.C. to rest at its present stage or to reminisce about past achievements. Clearly, many more stages of economic development lie ahead. Other industrially advanced nations that operate under similar limitations, such as the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland, have higher per capita income, better quality of life, and a more …

Comparative Development Strategies Of South Korea And Taiwan As Reflected In Their Respective International Trade Policies, J.W. Wheeler
Comparative Development Strategies Of South Korea And Taiwan As Reflected In Their Respective International Trade Policies, J.W. Wheeler
Michigan Journal of International Law
This paper examines the interplay of economic development and trade policies in South Korea and Taiwan. Although many differences exist between the two states, both have identified economic development as a central national policy goal linked explicitly to national security, even national survival. Both have targeted international trade as a key means of promoting economic development. Thus, trade policy, broadly defined, has served as one of the principal components of their economic development strategies. Of course, many other factors impinge upon trade policy formation - the national imperatives against which all policy must be weighed, economic opportunities and constraints, the …
European Community Trade Policies Vis-À-Vis Korea And Taiwan In The Eighties: A Comparative Perspective, Jean-François Bellis
European Community Trade Policies Vis-À-Vis Korea And Taiwan In The Eighties: A Comparative Perspective, Jean-François Bellis
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article will review the trade policies of the European Community towards Korea and Taiwan over the past ten years. This time period has been chosen for two reasons. In the first place, ten years ago, on November 28, 1979, the Tokyo Round of multilateral trade negotiations was concluded. At that time, the Tokyo Round was the most comprehensive GATT negotiating round ever, both in terms of trade value affected and in terms of its coverage of topics. An interesting question, therefore, is to what extent the 1979 commitments to trade liberalization were actually kept. Secondly, during the last decade …
