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 …
The Impact Of U.S. Trade Law On Government Policy Making In The Republic Of China, P. K. Chiang
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 …

The Gatt Uruguay Round: Its Significance For U.S. Bilateral Trade With Korea And Taiwan, Judith H. Bello, Alan F. Holmer
The Gatt Uruguay Round: Its Significance For U.S. Bilateral Trade With Korea And Taiwan, Judith H. Bello, Alan F. Holmer
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.
Section 301 And The Appearance Of Unilateralism, Warren Maruyama
Section 301 And The Appearance Of Unilateralism, Warren Maruyama
Michigan Journal of International Law
Despite extensive criticism, section 301 is a modest statute. It directs the United States Trade Representative (USTR), subject to the direction of the President, to take action if (1) the rights of the United States under a trade agreement are being denied, or (2) an act, policy, or practice of a foreign government is "unjustifiable" and burdens or restricts U.S. commerce. It also authorizes the USTR, again subject to the direction of the President, to act if (3) an act, policy, or practice of a foreign government is "unreasonable" and burdens or restricts U.S. commerce.

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 …

His intended audience includes not only lawyers, but political scientists, economists, government officials and others as well. While he acknowledges that his own "comparative advantage" is in the legal aspects of the field (p. 6), he places the legal concepts in their political and economic context to write a treatment that will be enlightening to readers from …
Trade Protectionism And Environmental Regulations: The New Nontariff Barriers, C. Ford Runge
Trade Protectionism And Environmental Regulations: The New Nontariff Barriers, C. Ford Runge
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This article reviews some economic and legal aspects of the growing role of environmental, health, and safety regulations operating as disguised barriers to trade. While this has always been a recognized problem in trade policy, the issue has gained new force as environmental policies move to the forefront of many national agendas. Because environmental standards have a growing national constituency, they are especially attractive candidates for disguised protectionism. International distinctions in the tolerable level of environmental risks are created because the weight attached to environmental standards tends to vary with the income levels of different countries. Incentives are created to …
