Decisionmaking And Dispute Resolution In The Free Trade Area Of The Americas: An Essay In Trade Governance, Frank J. Garcia Jan 1997

Decisionmaking And Dispute Resolution In The Free Trade Area Of The Americas: An Essay In Trade Governance, Frank J. Garcia

Michigan Journal of International Law

This Article examines certain theoretical and structural issues to be resolved in creation of the FTAA's governing institutions, and proposes an outline for these institutions, drawing upon regime theory's analysis of international organizations, the range of existing trade institutions found among the hemisphere's RTAs, and indications of the Summit countries' present goals and interests. The Article begins by summarizing Kenneth Abbott and Duncan Snidal's concept of "mesoinstitutions," a new regime theory tool for identifying the roles played and benefits conferred by 1Os in international relations. Parts I.B and I.C then apply mesoinstitutions theory to the primary governance mechanisms of the …

Part I examines the meaning of "advice and consent" in the Treaty Clause. It discusses the origins of the phrase "advice and consent," the history of the drafting of the Treaty Clause, and the implications of the Framers' decision to include the Treaty Clause in Article II of the Constitution.

Sex Offender Commitments: Debunking The Official Narrative And Revealing The Rules-In-Use, Eric S. Janus Jan 1997

Sex Offender Commitments: Debunking The Official Narrative And Revealing The Rules-In-Use, Eric S. Janus

Faculty Scholarship

Sex offender commitment laws present courts with a difficult choice: either allow creative efforts to prevent sexual violence or enforce traditional constitutional safeguards constraining the power of the state to deprive citizens of their Iiberty. Three state supreme courts have deflected this hard choice while upholding sex offender commitment schemes. As part of their ""official narrative"" that legitimizes sex offender commitments, the courts claim that society can have prevention and still maintain the primacy of the criminal justice system. This narrative neutralizes the conflict in values by claiming that sex offender commitments are just like mental illness commitments, a small, …

A New Approach To Transnational Insolvencies, Robert K. Rasmussen Jan 1997

A New Approach To Transnational Insolvencies, Robert K. Rasmussen

Michigan Journal of International Law

Part I of this article sets forth the general problems associated with transnational bankruptcies. Part II then shows that, from an efficiency standpoint, the optimal solution would be to allow firms to select, at the time of incorporation, which set of bankruptcy rules will govern in the event of financial distress. Part III examines the transnational bankruptcy problem under the assumption that each nation will continue to dictate the content of its bankruptcy laws. The accepted wisdom is that under this assumption, the best solution to transnational insolvencies is for all countries to adopt a rule whereby the home jurisdiction …

Multiprocessor Out-Of-Core Ffts With Distributed Memory And Parallel Disks, Thomas H. Cormen, Jake Wegmann, David M. Nicol Jan 1997

Multiprocessor Out-Of-Core Ffts With Distributed Memory And Parallel Disks, Thomas H. Cormen, Jake Wegmann, David M. Nicol

Computer Science Technical Reports

This paper extends an earlier out-of-core Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method for a uniprocessor with the Parallel Disk Model (PDM) to use multiple processors. Four out-of-core multiprocessor methods are examined. Operationally, these methods differ in the size of "mini-butterfly" computed in memory and how the data are organized on the disks and in the distributed memory of the multiprocessor. The methods also perform differing amounts of I/O and communication. Two of them have the remarkable property that even though they are computing the FFT on a multiprocessor, all interprocessor communication occurs outside the mini-butterfly computations. Performance results on a small …

Fact Books

I am proud to introduce the sixth annual Southwestern Oklahoma State University Fact Book. It provides a ready source of information to answer frequently asked questions about the University and its operations. Unless otherwise noted, the information in this Fact Book came from computer-generated reports that are printed following the tenth class day of each fall semester. Because of student fluctuations during the semester, numbers will not match other published enrollment numbers that may be based on enrollment at the end of a semester.

The Formalization Of A Leadership Workshop, Lorraine Leguillon Jan 1997

The Formalization Of A Leadership Workshop, Lorraine Leguillon

Honors Capstones

The seminar is intended to be an interesting and challenging leadership workshop for the undergraduate management majors of Northern Illinois University. Our goal is to better prepare the students for the real-life business environment by becoming aware of their own style of leadership and the style of other, well-known leaders. The workshop examines the concepts and practices of leadership and pays particular attention to contemporary research findings about leadership, the practice of leadership, and leadership skill development. If the feedback from the first workshop is positive, I would like to see the seminar be expanded so it is available to …


Keynote Colloquy: Finding Justice In The Internet Dimension, Hon. Alex Kozinski Jan 1997

Keynote Colloquy: Finding Justice In The Internet Dimension, Hon. Alex Kozinski

Seattle University Law Review

The Internet community—just like all other speech communities—ought to be afforded First Amendment protections. I don't see any reason why Internet speech should be treated any less favorably than other kinds of speech. But the vastly overblown claim that the communications medium somehow deserves to be put outside normal legal constraints--because it's so global, or because it's so different—is self-defeating. It substitutes generalities and sentiments for real thinking. The kind of analysis we've seen at this conference—the kind of debate we've had here—is very useful, because we're talking about the specifics of what legal constraints should be allowed. Not whether …
