En noviembre de 1999, ITCENIT ha publicado un informe que analiza el impacto de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y comunicaciones en la economía de la Argentina. Advierte sobre la oportunidad económica que la Argentina está desaprovechando al no estar preparada para ingresar en la Era de la Información, y del riesgo que corre de quedar notablemente retrasada con respecto a otros países. Este trabajo, resultado de tres años de reflexiones, ha sido especialmente preparado para sugerir ideas al nuevo gobierno que asumía en diciembre de 1999, e incluye una propuesta concreta con el fin de introducir en nuestra …

Critical Space Theory: Keeping Local Geography In American And European Environmental Law, Robert R.M. Verchick
Critical Space Theory: Keeping Local Geography In American And European Environmental Law, Robert R.M. Verchick
Robert R.M. Verchick
Recently, legal scholars have begun to explore the meaning and significance of geographic space in law within the United States and internationally, a project highlighted in a 1996 Stanford Law Review symposium. Much of this discussion draws implicitly and explicitly on critical legal theory in approaching geographic themes -- suggesting the beginning of what the author calls "Critical Space Theory." This article uses Critical Space Theory to address the legal significance of geography in relation to two environmental issues in the United States and the European Union: (1) transborder waste transportation and (2) judicial standing. Each issue raises questions of …
Same-Sex Domestic Violence, Nancy J. Knauer
Same-Sex Domestic Violence, Nancy J. Knauer
Nancy J. Knauer
Same-sex domestic violence is a difficult topic. The LGBT communities have been reluctant to discuss same-sex domestic violence for fear of validating negative stereotypes and detracting from the push for legal recognition of such relationships. The relative silence on this issue continues despite the fact that individuals in same-sex relationships are more likely to be abused by their partners than beaten in an act of anti-gay violence. and despite legislative efforts to restrict domestic violence laws to cover only different-sex couples. The political downside of discussing same-sex domestic violence is obvious. Anti-gay organizations invoke same-sex domestic violence to bolster their …
Critical Of Race Theory: Race, Reason, Merit And Civility, Nancy Levit
Critical Of Race Theory: Race, Reason, Merit And Civility, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
A hazard lurks in any but the most careful representation of another's viewpoint. Call it "slippage" or the "essentialist error," the point is that communication rarely does complete justice to its object. The problem is compounded when the communication is mediated. We all know that between a story and its retelling, something will get lost in translation. Consider feminism, gay legal theory, and critical race theory, and their depictions in academic journals and the popular media. Newspapers and news magazines have recently published a spate of academic trash talk accusing critical race theorists of "playing the race card" and indulging …

The Community Reinvestment Act: Questionable Premises And Perverse Incentives, Vincent D. Rougeau, Keith N. Hylton
Vincent D. Rougeau
Having just passed the twentieth anniversary of the enactment of the Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA" or "Act"), this is an appropriate time to take stock of the effectiveness of the legislation and to consider whether it continues to be useful as a tool for addressing the problems of neighborhood decline and discrimination in the lending market. Although discrimination in lending and the decline of certain inner-city neighborhoods is a problem that the CRA has not been able to solve, most observers would agree that the situation has improved since the mid-1970s. In particular, there has been notable progress toward the …

Separating Equals: Educational Research And The Long Term Consequences Of Sex Segregation, Nancy Levit
Separating Equals: Educational Research And The Long Term Consequences Of Sex Segregation, Nancy Levit
Nancy Levit
The article imports into the legal literature for the first time the full range of single sex education research, from this country and others, and examines sociological research that has been omitted from the debate. Rarely do proponents consider what educational and social effects sex-exclusive schooling will have on boys. Rarer still is any consideration of the effect of educational segregation in a society that is already relentlessly segregated by sex. While the educational research regarding the efficacy of single sex schools is mixed at best, the sociological research is absolutely clear that separation on the basis of identity characteristics …
New Migration And Racism In Cyprus: The Racialisation Of Migrant Workers, Nicos Trimikliniotis
New Migration And Racism In Cyprus: The Racialisation Of Migrant Workers, Nicos Trimikliniotis
Nicos Trimikliniotis
This paper sets out to examine the processes of racialisation of temporary migrant or 'foreign' labour in Cyprus, a country traditionally exporting migrants but recently transformed into one of hosting migrants. It considers policies and rights relating to migrant workers and examines discourses around migration found in the Greek Cypriot press and magazines. It also examines the role of employers and trade unions in the racialisation of migrant workers. It considers how conceptualisations of ‘race’ and racism, and their interrelation with class, are useful in understanding and explaining the processes by which the people are excluded, inferiorised and exploited.
