Provincial International Status Revisited, Thomas A. Levy

Dalhousie Law Journal

The question as to whether the Canadian provinces possess international status caused much ink to flow in Canadian legal discourse from 1965 to 19681. Although the practical problems incident to an alleged provincial international personality remain with us in the mid 1970's, the lawyers have maintained a low profile from 1968 to 1971. In 1971 Anne-Marie Jacomy-Millette's doctoral dissertation was published as L'introduction et l'application des trait~s internationaux au Canada.2 In 1973 Ivan Bernier's magisterial doctoral thesis was published under the title International Legal Aspects of Federalism.3 Although no new ground was broken, Professor Bernier stated the existing comparative and …

Nuclear Tests Case: Australia V. France; New Zealand V. France, L. L. Herman

Dalhousie Law Journal

In two separate judgments of December 20, 1974, the majority of the International Court of Justice3 held that the objectives of both Australia and New Zealand in ending French nuclear testing in the South Pacific had been accomplished by virtue of various public announcements made on behalf of the French government that, following the conclusion of the 1974 series of tests, France would revdrt to underground testing. Since the objectives of both applicants had been accomplished, and consequently the issues had been resolved, the Court was of the view that it was no longer called upon to give a decision …

Scholarly Works

This article will focus on the legal environment within the State in regard to foreign investment and trade. In making this survey it is also necessary to note briefly the full context in which foreign investment and trade is accomplished. The State cannot act or fail to act in areas dictated by the economic, political, and social philosophies held by its citizens. Likewise, the State cannot act in areas in which the Federal Government has acted pursuant to the United State Constitution. Among the areas in which the State is prohibited or preempted from acting are foreign affairs, especially in …

A Report On Certain Recent Legal Developments In The International Monetary Fund, Joseph Gold

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In the recent past, the main activity of the International Monetary Fund in connection with the development of international law has been the negotiation and drafting of an amendment of the Fund's Articles of Agreement. The present report deals primarily with that activity, but also comments on the sixth general review of the quotas of member states in the Fund.

On August 15, 1971, the United States, having decided to free itself from certain constraints that had become unacceptable and to exercise greater autonomy for national policies, suspended the convertibility into gold or other reserve assets of balances of United …

Recent Decisions, Susan A. Shands

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This case presented the district and circuit courts with the problem of how to maneuver the forum's conflict of laws rules in order to apply Texas law to an injury caused by a defective product manufactured in Texas when the injury occurred on foreign soil. On a policy basis, the lower courts did make the more equitable decision in applying Texas law. Viewed under one commentator's test, both lower courts were applying the law that would give the most predictable and uniform results, maintain international and interstate order, simplify the judicial task, advance the forum's interest, and apply the better …

Parity Codetermination In West German Companies And International Law, Wilhelm Wengler

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

German Law on joint stock companies, in conformity with that of nearly all other countries, has long provided that the organs of the joint stock company (Aktiengesellschaft) consist either exclusively of the shareholders themselves (i.e., the general meeting of shareholders) or are elected by them (i.e., the Aufsichtsrat or supervisory board), or that such an elected organ in turn appoint another organ (i.e., the Vorstand or executive board). Ever since the "old" Labor Management Relations Act (Betriebsverfassungsgesetz) of October 11, 1952, however, only two-thirds of the membership of the supervisory boards of the larger joint stock companies are elected by …

Multinational Collective Bargaining--Myth Or Reality?

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The expansion of the multinational corporation (MNC) has precipitated an international aspect of labor with important consequences for the relationship between employers and employees. Basically, there is an inherent conflict between the objectives of the MNC and the labor union. The MNC endeavors to organize its operations for production where costs are lowest and sales where prices are highest. Given good coordination, the MNC can manage its activities to take advantage of cost differences in labor, capital, tax rates, and market conditions. On the other hand, the labor union seeks to have the MNC return the greatest net benefit to …

Legal And Economic Incentives For Foreign Direct Investment In The Southeastern United States, Paul S. Dempsey

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The United States of America may well be the most attractive area for investment in the entire world. Foreign investment, although failing to play a dominant role in the American economy, has nevertheless enjoyed a substantial and significant growth in recent years. This contemporary acceleration may be attributed to a number of factors, including, for example: (a) America's enormous pool of skilled and well educated labor; (b) the narrowing of the gap between the cost of United States and foreign labor; (c) the abundance of domestic energy and other raw materials; and (d) the relative docility of the United States …
