Seeing Race As We Are: Avoiding, Arguing, Aspiring, Michael A. Cowan 2023 Centre for the Study of Social Cohesion, Department of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, Oxford University

Seeing Race As We Are: Avoiding, Arguing, Aspiring, Michael A. Cowan

New England Journal of Public Policy

Racial conflict in the United States pushes people to positions of argument or avoidance, more or less intensely and for varying lengths of time, depending on external events like the murder of George Floyd. Neither stance produces the conversations required to seek common ground and compromise around racial issues. Argument alone deepens divisions and avoidance leaves them to metastasize in the social body. In an attempt to go beneath these two positions, this article first explains the role and form of interpretation in all conflict and dispute resolution and how it is shaped. Then it examines the concepts and strategies …

The Sustainability Of The International Contract Between The Notions Of: “Pacta Sunt Servanda” And “Things Thus Standing”: Reflections On The Interpretative Power Of The Arbitrator, Imed Bejeoui 2023 King Faisal University

The Sustainability Of The International Contract Between The Notions Of: “Pacta Sunt Servanda” And “Things Thus Standing”: Reflections On The Interpretative Power Of The Arbitrator, Imed Bejeoui

مجلة جامعة الإمارات للبحوث القانونية UAEU LAW JOURNAL

The incidence of disruptive circumstances of the balance initially projected by the parties to an international contract may put an end to it or render it an excessively onerous load for one of the contracting parties. In that context, the role of the arbitrator is vital. The mission of the arbitrator is particularly problematic in the situation that the parties had not formally predicted for the changes probable to affect the performance of the contract in their agreement. The arbitrator will be asked to decide on the destiny of the contract confronted by execution difficulties. Supposedly, two alternatives are presented. …


The Flow Of Power: Addressing Asymmetric Flood Risk In The Upper Valley, Eric VR Hryniewicz 2023 Dartmouth College

The Flow Of Power: Addressing Asymmetric Flood Risk In The Upper Valley, Eric Vr Hryniewicz

Geography Undergraduate Senior Theses

Floods are the most damaging natural disasters in America. Land use change in upland watersheds can increase the probability and severity of floods (Bronstert, Niehoff, & Burger, 2002). When watersheds are divided by political and private property boundaries it leads to a misalignment of incentives in which downstream users lack recourse for upstream land use decisions contributing to flood risk. In this thesis, researchers interrogate the attributes of town officials and towns that determine what motivates town governments to act on flooding and what motivates and enables town officials to collaborate on planning and how do they collaborate in practice. …

The Use Of Arbitration Clauses By Social Media Websites: A Critique, Kavya Jha, Ananya Singh 2023 Pepperdine University

The Use Of Arbitration Clauses By Social Media Websites: A Critique, Kavya Jha, Ananya Singh

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

The arbitration clauses contained in the Terms of Services (ToS) of most social media websites mandate arbitration and the waiver of class arbitration.1 In light of this reality, this article seeks to analyze the legal position with respect to mandatory arbitration and class arbitration waiver in the United States, India, and European Union (EU). It compares and juxtaposes the respective positions in these three jurisdictions to find that whereas the United States has been pro-arbitration to the extent of being detrimental to consumer interest, India has adopted an overly protectionist approach, while the EU has adopted an effective model to …

Is There A Role For Conflict Photography In Conflict Resolution? It's Complicated, Joseph Clift 2023 Pepperdine University

Is There A Role For Conflict Photography In Conflict Resolution? It's Complicated, Joseph Clift

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

In this essay, I argue that conflict photography has an important and useful role in conflict understanding and resolution. While conflict images’ usefulness has been debated, I argue that its importance has not. I start with a description of conflict photography and then provide a short historical account of the camera and its use in documenting conflicts. Next, I discuss conflict resolution and present examples of conflict resolution strategies. I then present evidence of how conflict photography can be a useful tool to support some of those strategies. Afterwards, I discuss the complicated nature of conflict photography’s usefulness. I conclude …

Managing Multiplicity: Consolidating Parallel Arbitration Proceedings For Renewal Energy Disputes, Francesca Pinto 2023 Pepperdine University

Managing Multiplicity: Consolidating Parallel Arbitration Proceedings For Renewal Energy Disputes, Francesca Pinto

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Arbitration Rules, considered the most widely used set of ad hoc rules in international arbitration, do not contain any provisions on consolidating parallel proceedings. Considering the complex, multiparty, and multiple-contract nature of renewable energy investment and development, the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules should implement consolidation provisions that explicitly address consolidation for related arbitration proceedings and—in some circumstances—enforce consolidation regardless of whether all parties consent. Part II of this article provides an overview of transactions related to the investment, development, and operation of renewable energy projects. Part III identifies the risks of parallel …

Arbitration—From Sacred Cow To Golden Calf: Three Phases In The History Of The Federal Arbitration Act, Katherine V.W. Stone 2023 Pepperdine University

Arbitration—From Sacred Cow To Golden Calf: Three Phases In The History Of The Federal Arbitration Act, Katherine V.W. Stone

Pepperdine Dispute Resolution Law Journal

For the past twenty-five years, without much fanfare, arbitration law has remade the civil justice system in the United States. As now interpreted, the Federal Arbitration Act (the ‘FAA’) requires millions of consumers, workers, homeowners, credit card holders, rental car uses, hospital patients, and other ordinary people to forgo use of the courts to vindicate important rights. One development that has garnered particular attention is the tendency of corporations to include class action waivers in arbitration agreements, thereby preventing consumers and employees from aggregating small claims and litigating on a collective basis. While arbitration has become ubiquitous, it has also …


Judicial Review Of Teacher-School Board Grievance Arbitration: An Extended Empirical Analysis, Perry A. Zirkel 2023 Lehigh University

Judicial Review Of Teacher-School Board Grievance Arbitration: An Extended Empirical Analysis, Perry A. Zirkel

Arbitration Law Review

In recent years, the overall state law framework for teacher-school board collective bargaining has undergone limited revisions. The basic distribution has been that approximately two-thirds of the state laws authorize collective bargaining for public school teachers, with the remaining state laws either silent or prohibitive. During the past fifteen years, a few states have curtailed or eliminated their applicable laws, with the leading respective examples being Wisconsin and Tennessee, and at least one state, Virginia, shifting in favor of collective bargaining.

The courts have added few direct revisions. The Supreme Court’s ruling that agency shop provisions in public sector collective …
