Should We Take Global Governance Seriously?, John R. Bolton

Chicago Journal of International Law

My thesis, as a convinced Americanist, is that these happy days are over. Like it or not, the Globalists have seized more readily the opportunities provided by the end of the Cold War to advance their agenda, building on an iceberg-like mass produced by years of writing, conference-going, resolution-passing and networking. In substantive field after field-human rights, labor, health, the environment, political-military affairs, and international organizations-the Globalists have been advancing while the Americanists have slept. Recent clashes in and around the United States Senate indicate that the Americanist party has awakened, and that the harm and costs to the United …

Un Wars, Us War Powers, John C. Yoo

Chicago Journal of International Law

Pressure on traditional notions of US sovereignty are nowhere clearer than in the area of national security. In a number of areas, such as arms control, the Clinton administration has sought to achieve US foreign policy goals through multilateral international institutions. Pursuing national security through international organizations confers certain advantages for US policymakers, such as allowing the United States to act under the aegis of multilateralism, which submerges the prominence of US national interests and allows for the use of collective military resources. Acting through such alliances, however, raises policy and constitutional difficulties that pose problems for US notions of …

Should International Human Rights Law Trump Us Domestic Law?, Jack Goldsmith

Chicago Journal of International Law

The human rights community has fiercely criticized the United States' failure to make international human rights treaties a source of law in the domestic realm. In this essay, I defend US practice against these criticisms. To focus the analysis, I simplify in two ways. First, I consider only the ICCPR, the most ambitious of the international human rights treaties. Second, I assume that the US practice of not incorporating the ICCPR into the domestic realm is legally valid under both international law and domestic constitutional law. I thus concentrate only on the policy question whether the US should apply the …

The Rechtsstaat As The Path Toward Unity In Liberty, Rainer Funke

Chicago Journal of International Law

In the beginning of the third millenium, Berlin, like so many times in its history, is sparkling with contrasts. Historical allusions and, at the same time, contradictions abound, especially in the city's center. Today's offices and conference rooms of the Freie Demokratische Partei ("F.D.P.") liberal-libertarian members of Parliament and its faction in the Bundestag, for example, are located in the former so-called Ministry of Justice of the Deutsche Demokratische Republik ("GDR"), in a building which, until 1945, was an annex to the German Reich's Ministry of the Interior. As late as the summer of 1989, few people would have envisioned …

The Political Economy Of Global Multilateralism, John O. Mcginnis

Chicago Journal of International Law

Many conservatives (at the least the subset who are classical liberals) approve of global multilateral trade agreements and allied agreements that keep global capital markets open. Conservatives, however, tend to be openly skeptical of other global multilateral agreements, be they environmental accords, human rights conventions, military pacts, or an agreement on an international criminal court. In this paper I offer the beginnings of a framework of sound political economy that justifies these divergent intuitions and shows that they are rooted in more than just a reflexive liking for trade combined with a disdain for the environment, human rights, criminal justice, …

Transnational Securities Fraud Regulation: Problems And Solutions, Joshua G. Urquhart

Chicago Journal of International Law

This comment will introduce the international antifraud enforcement problems created by the increasingly transnational securities markets. It will state and analyze existing American law and the likely path the law will take, especially with regard to the Internet. The piece will examine the implemented and proposed solutions to this global dilemma, and it will suggest that these measures are either ineffective or incomplete. Finally, the comment will propose a new solution-the creation of a set of binding international regulations for transnational. transactions that will give investors and markets sufficient protection from fraud while eliminating the current American hegemony.

Theater Missile Defense In Japan: Implications For The U.S.-China-Japan Strategic Relationship, Patrick M. O'Donogue Colonel

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

Colonel Patrick M. O'Donogue (U.S. Army War College class of 2000) considers a topic of key importance to U.S. national security. Perhaps no security matter (with the exception of National Missile Defense) is as contentious globally as Theater Missile Defense (TMD). The question of U.S. assistance to Japan to develop and deploy a TMD is particularly complex and controversial.

Exhaustion Of Administrative Remedies - New Dimensions Since Darby, William Funk

Pace Environmental Law Review

In this article, Professor Funk first summarizes the law of exhaustion of administrative remedies prior to the Supreme Court's groundbreaking decision in Darby v. Cisneros and then describes that decision and the Court's rationale for it. He notes that both litigants and agencies have been slow to recognize the effect of Darby, so that some agency regulations may still suffer the same flaws as those of the agency in Darby. Professor Funk next addresses the questions that Darby did not answer or which it raised and the responses of lower courts. Some of these questions have been resolved and some …

The Pattern Of Hearing Impairment Among Schoolboys In An Institute For Deaf Subjects, Mostafa A. Abolfotouh, Saeed A. Al-Ghamdi

Saudi Medical Journal

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to study the pattern of deafness among boys of Al-Amal Institutes for the Deaf in Abha, the capital city of Asir Region, Southwestern Saudi Arabia. METHODS: All students (n=155) were subjected to full otoscopic and audiometric examinations, and the type and degree of deafness were graded according to the recommendation of the British Society of Audiology. Computerized tomography scan was carried out to exclude congenital inner ear deformity, and specific Igm antibodies assay for TORCHS was carried out when the history of intrauterine infection was positive or suggestive. RESULTS: More than 97% of …

An Analysis Of Academic Reputation As Perceived By Consumers Of Higher Education, Michael J. Conard, Maureen A. Conard

WCBT Faculty Publications

A college's academic reputation (AR) plays a significant role in positioning the institution. Survey responses of college-bound high school seniors suggest that a majority of respondents view successful postgraduate careers as very important to the perception of AR and very likely to be attributed to a college with very good AR. A principle components factor analysis revealed three factors that describe the perception of AR (i.e., Academic Concerns, Campus Ethos, Practical Value). In a similar analysis three factors were found likely to be associated with very good AR (i.e., Curricular Concerns, Exclusivity, Career Preparation).

The President/Principal Model In Catholic Secondary Schools, William Dygert

Journal of Catholic Education

The purpose of this research about the president/principal model was to examine this emerging model of dual leadership in Catholic secondary schools in the United States to determine its forms, functions, and perceived advantages and disadvantages. The study was qualitative and gathered data by use of a survey. Based on the information gathered, dealing with the ever-increasing complexity of administering a Catholic secondary school by dividing the multiple administrative roles and responsibilities between two individuals, and in some cases more than two individuals, is a strategy that works. This division not only provides for academic leadership and the daily operation …

An End To Insanity: Recasting The Role Of Mental Disability In Criminal Cases, Christopher Slobogin

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

This article argues that mental illness should no longer be the basis for a special defense of insanity. Instead, mental disorder should be considered in criminal cases only if relevant to other excuse doctrines, such as lack of mens rea, self-defense and duress, as those defenses have been defined under modern subjectively-oriented codes. With the advent of these subjectively defined doctrines (a development which, ironically, took place during the same period that insanity formulations expanded), the insanity defense has outlived its usefulness, normatively and practically. Modern official formulations of the defense are overbroad because, fairly construed, they exculpate the vast …

從童話功能考察金庸武俠小說的敘事特色, Chun To Lau

Lingnan Theses

金庸武俠小說崛起於五六十年代的香港，旋即引起追讀熱潮。時至今日，它在海內外的學術界、傳播媒介依然享有巨大的號召力，秘密是甚麼呢？

金庸小說作為一種敘事文學，小說本身的敘事手法必然是很值得探討的課題。這篇論文就是從情節和人物的安排入手，研究金庸小說的敘事特色。

分析工具是俄國文學理論家普羅普（Vladimir Propp）的「童話功能」。他在《民間故事形態學》（Morphology of the Folktale）中，用一百個俄國童話作例子，證明俄國童話的內容儘管變化多端，但都是由三十一個功能按固定次序排列而成。此外，圍繞七組不同的功能，他又發現了七組人物。本文選取了金庸的八部長篇小說作研究對象，用普羅普的方法研究金庸小說的敘事特色。

論文分四個部分。第一章是緒論篇：先劃定研究的範圍，再探討武俠小說和童話的關係，然後概述普羅普的理論和學界對它的評價。第二章是應用篇：參照普羅普的理論，為八部小說勾勒可供比較的功能序列，並把主要的角色分成七類人物。第三章 是分析篇：分析功能的排列方式，並統計功能的出現次數，從而找出小說情節的基本結構和獨特趣味；另外，就上一章的人物分類，闡釋七種人物的異同。第四章是結論篇：最後就以上分析總結金庸小說的敘事手法，初步探討它吸引大量讀者的某些原因。

本論文希望排除個人的價值趣味和作品以外的社會因素，踏實、客觀地透視金庸小說的敘事特色，期望能成為金學研究的有機部分。

Implementation And Effects Of A Conflict Resolution Program In A Urban Middle School, Deborah A. Frison

Student Work

Conflict is the most crucial issue jeopardizing school safety in middle schools today. With escalating violence, a school-based program teaching conflict resolution skills may reduce disruption to an orderly environment and provide a peaceful alternative to violence. The primary purpose of this study was to identify and investigate possible effects of a conflict resolution program in an urban middle school. The secondary purpose was to examine the program ’s impact on students selected as conflict resolution managers. Data were collected from the total student body, and teachers, as well as conflict resolution managers. In this study, there was no decrease …
