Property Outlaws, Eduardo Peñalver, Sonia Katyal Jan 2007

Property Outlaws, Eduardo Peñalver, Sonia Katyal

Articles

Most people do not hold those who intentionally flout property laws in particularly high regard. The overridingly negative view of the property lawbreaker as a "wrongdoer" comports with the status of property rights within our characteristically individualist, capitalist, political culture. This reflexively dim view of property lawbreakers is also shared, to a large degree, by property theorists, many of whom regard property rights as a relatively fixed constellation of entitlements that collectively produce stability and efficiency through an orderly system of ownership. In this Article, Professors Peihalver and Katyal seek partially to rehabilitate the reviled character of the intentional property …

On Wal-Mart: Doing Good By Doing Nothing, Richard A. Epstein Jan 2007

On Wal-Mart: Doing Good By Doing Nothing, Richard A. Epstein

Articles

The major success of Wal-Mart has brought forth an unprecedented amount of criticism of the firm and its business practices. In this Article I subject Wal-Mart's critics to the same scrutiny that they bring to the firm itself, and conclude that virtually all of their charges are overblown and misdirected. In emphasizing the supposed dislocations that Wal-Mart's has had on the settled expectations of certain communities, the critics fail to take into account the positive benefits that the firm supplies its customers in the form of quality goods at low prices and the positive spillovers they provide by revitalizing poor …

Coastal ecosystems are increasingly dominated by humans. Consequently, the human dimensions of sustainability science have become an integral part of emerging coastal governance and management practices. But if we are to avoid the harsh lessons of land management, coastal decision makers must recognize that humans are one of the more coastally dependent species in the biosphere. Management responses must therefore confront both the temporal urgency and the very real compromises and sacrifices that will be necessary to achieve a sustainable coastal ecosystem, one that is economically feasible, socially just, and ecologically sound.

Petit Apartheid And The ''Tb" Syndrome: Police Racial Profiling Of Chicana/O Youths In San Jose, California, Robert Koehler Jan 2007

Petit Apartheid And The ''Tb" Syndrome: Police Racial Profiling Of Chicana/O Youths In San Jose, California, Robert Koehler

Ethnic Studies Review

I like to go out on Friday nights and Saturday nights and join up with my homies and walk around the hot spots and get some food. I like to check out the girls and see if I can get something going with them. But every weekend the cops stop me. What the fuck for? I go to school everyday and get treated like a criminal and then, when I want to step out of my house...I get treated like a criminal again! I have never been arrested for nothing! But I always get stopped for walkin' down the street. …

Preemption, Agency Cost Theory, And Predatory Lending By Banking Agents: Are Federal Regulators Biting Off More Than They Can Chew , Christopher L. Peterson Jan 2007

Preemption, Agency Cost Theory, And Predatory Lending By Banking Agents: Are Federal Regulators Biting Off More Than They Can Chew , Christopher L. Peterson

American University Law Review

A pitched battle is currently being waged for control of the American banking industry. For over a hundred years, the federal and state governments have maintained a complex, but relatively stable truce in their contest for power. At the beginning of our republic, state governments were the primary charterers and regulators of banks. In the wake of the Civil War, the National Bank Act created parity between federal and state banks, cementing the notion of a dual banking system that endured through the twentieth century. But in the past five years, the federal government has increasingly used its powers under …

Race, Redistricting, And Representation, Guy-Uriel Charles Jan 2007

Race, Redistricting, And Representation, Guy-Uriel Charles

Faculty Scholarship

This Essay, which was written for the Ohio State Law Journal's symposium on Election Law and the Roberts Court, examines the Court's decision in League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) v. Perry. The Essay explores two ways of reading LULAC: first as a racial representation case and second as a case concerned with representation itself. The essay argues that politics not race is the majority's worry in LULAC and that the case is the first application of Justice Kennedy's representation rights concept first introduced in Vieth.

Transborder Industrialization In The Framework Of Singapore's Regionalization Strategy: The Case Of Singapore's Gambit In Vietnam, Caroline Yeoh, Victor Sim, Wilfred Pow Ngee How Jan 2007

Transborder Industrialization In The Framework Of Singapore's Regionalization Strategy: The Case Of Singapore's Gambit In Vietnam, Caroline Yeoh, Victor Sim, Wilfred Pow Ngee How

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Infrastructure can be unreliable and administration subject to corruption in Asia’s rapidly emerging economies. This context presented Singapore with unique opportunities to export its expertise to locations where these attributes are less certain, through the provision of superior infrastructure, the ability to negotiate investment concessions and, where existing, through the links to influential business groups in the investment location. This strategic initiative is further premised on the perception that Singapore’s positive reputation with multinationals, as well as ‘guanxi’, or connections, with Asian business networks, will give the industrial-township projects a marketing advantage. Their progress is a litmus test of Singapore’s …

Japan Pakistan Economic Relations: Challenges And Opportunities From Japan’S New Economy, Seiji Kojima Jan 2007

Japan Pakistan Economic Relations: Challenges And Opportunities From Japan’S New Economy, Seiji Kojima

Business Review

I have various reasons to discuss the economic relations between Japan and Pakistan today. First, one of the most important and urgent tasks that the Pakistani Government faces is of course to achieve a robust and stable economic growth, thereby enabling to eradicate poverty from this country. As the largest bilateral donor and a major trade partner of Pakistan, it would be quite natural for Japan to place importance on the economic aspect of the relations with Pakistan. Second, this is an institute of business administration, and I imagine that the audience will show interest in the economic side of …

A Cenozoic History Of The Central Arctic Ocean, Matthew Aaron O'Regan Jan 2007

A Cenozoic History Of The Central Arctic Ocean, Matthew Aaron O'Regan

Open Access Dissertations

This dissertation comprises a series of studies that use sedimentary records combined with regional geophysics to explore and expand our understanding of the central Arctic Ocean throughout the Cenozoic. Recovered from the Lomonosov Ridge during the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 302 (Arctic Coring Expedition; ACEX), the sediment cores provide the only long term marine geologic record from the central Arctic Ocean and offer the first means for integrating and reinterpreting over 30 years of predominantly geophysical data collection. Results from a stress history analysis reveal that there is no evidence for largescale erosional events in the sediments from the …

Archaeology In Palestine: The Life And Death Of Albert Glock, Katherine Lamie Jan 2007

Archaeology In Palestine: The Life And Death Of Albert Glock, Katherine Lamie

Nebraska Anthropologist

This paper provides a critical examination of the dynamic connection between archaeological research and programs of political and religious agendas in Israel and Palestine. This examination contributes to recent discipline-wide discussions concerning the powerful impact of archaeological research in areas of political and religious turmoil. The first section of this paper notes the absence of an Islamic counterpart to Biblical archaeology. While there is no archaeology that attempts to prove literal interpretations of the Qur'an, the rather complex archaeology advanced by Albert Glock (1984; 1994; 1995) serves to meet the needs of marginalized Palestinian villagers. Yet Glock's experience with the …

Glimpses Of Wilsonianism: United States Involvement In Nicaragua During The Coolidge Era., Steven R. Hall Jan 2007

Glimpses Of Wilsonianism: United States Involvement In Nicaragua During The Coolidge Era., Steven R. Hall

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

The military occupation of Nicaragua was one of the Calvin Coolidge administration’s most unpopular foreign policies. Upon the death of President Warren G. Harding in 1923, Coolidge inherited the White House and a Nicaraguan withdrawal plan set up years earlier. As planned, the United States monitored the Nicaraguan national elections in 1924, and withdrew its occupation force in 1925. When the country collapsed into civil war a few months later, the Coolidge administration ordered the Marines back into Nicaragua to restore order. Coolidge and his Secretary of State, Frank B. Kellogg, argued the occupation was necessary to protect American economic …

Determination Of Diel Chemical Cycle Presence Within Abandoned Coal Mine Drainage Streams In Harrison County, West Virginia., Michael Jay Smilley Jan 2007

Determination Of Diel Chemical Cycle Presence Within Abandoned Coal Mine Drainage Streams In Harrison County, West Virginia., Michael Jay Smilley

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Diel (24-hour) cycling of dissolved ions has been linked to various mechanisms such as fluctuations in temperature and photosynthetically-mediated pH. Yttrium and the rare earth elements (YREE) appear to fluctuate in response to temperature. After selecting a field site based on pH and temperature screening, five sampling events were undertaken: each involved hourly or bihourly sampling with concurrent stage, pH and temperature logging. For all events, YREE increased during the nighttime and decreased during the daytime. Dissolved Fe and Mn exhibited similar trends at one of the two sampled locations. Speciation models suggest that sulfate and carbonate-bound YREE species dominate …

The Dynamic Integration Of Distributed Gis Through Semantic Web Services., Xuan Shi Jan 2007

The Dynamic Integration Of Distributed Gis Through Semantic Web Services., Xuan Shi

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

While interest in the GIS community has traditionally “been almost entirely on the sharing of data” (Goodchild, 2003), Web Service, a solution of software interoperability, is regarded as the “future of geoprocessing” (Hecht, 2002). While data interoperability and data semantics has long been examined in the community of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), exploring the way for the effective sharing of GIS methods and tools is a completely new effort, although such a theme was only talked. Enabling the dynamic integration of geospatial data and geoprocessing functions and resources over heterogeneous systems and platforms through the cutting-edge technology of semantic Web …

Scotland: The New Melting Pot?, Alexandria Rovatsos Jan 2007

Scotland: The New Melting Pot?, Alexandria Rovatsos

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Discussion of population issues increasingly centers on the low fertility rates common in much of the developed world. As a result of these low fertility rates and increased longevity, populations across much of Europe are getting older and in many cases declining in size. In response, governments with low fertility rates have implemented a variety of policies to maintain their population. While many countries have tried to boost fertility, Scotland had opted for a less popular approach, i.e. pro-immigration. This thesis focuses on Scotland and the policy implemented by the government to combat low fertility.

Support By Migrants To Their Elderly Parents In Rural Cambodia And Thailand: A Comparative Study, Zachary Zimmer, Kim Korinek, John Knodel, Napaporn Chayovan Jan 2007

Support By Migrants To Their Elderly Parents In Rural Cambodia And Thailand: A Comparative Study, Zachary Zimmer, Kim Korinek, John Knodel, Napaporn Chayovan

Poverty, Gender, and Youth

Internal migration in Southeast Asia raises questions about strains upon traditional systems of support for older adults. While remittances to parents’ households play a role in rural household economies, uncertainty remains regarding whether and under what circumstances children interact with their elderly parents. This paper focuses on the adult children of older persons living in rural Cambodia and Thailand and examines the determinants of personal visits, monetary remittances, and more general forms of household support. Analyses consider ways in which geographically distant children support parents, the extent to which characteristics of parents, children, and households enhance or detract from these …

Blackbeards Of The Twenty-First Century: Holding Cybercriminals Liable Under The Alien Tort Statute, Jennifer J. Rho Jan 2007

Blackbeards Of The Twenty-First Century: Holding Cybercriminals Liable Under The Alien Tort Statute, Jennifer J. Rho

Chicago Journal of International Law

This Comment explores whether cybercrime constitutes a violation of the law of nations under the ATS. It argues that certain acts of cybercrime may be actionable, but cybercrime as a whole has not yet reached the level of a customary international norm. Part I presents Sosa's approach for recognizing a customary international norm as a private right of action under the ATS. Part II discusses the rising significance of cybercrime and international efforts to thwart it. Part III analogizes cybercrime to one of Sosa's paradigm offenses against the law of nations-piracy-and argues that cyberspace should be viewed as the modern …

Seeking Justice For Victims In Darfur: The Darfur Legal Training Program, Genevieve A. Cox, Jerome C. Roth

Fordham International Law Journal

With relatives displaced from their homes and a fiancée who was arbitrarily imprisoned and abused in Darfur, Hayat comes to her work with victims in the refugee camps with a personal stake. ... This commitment to human rights defense and victims' advocacy led Hanifa and eight of his Sudanese colleagues to the Darfur Legal Training Program (the "Program"), a first-of-its-kind seminar in June of 2007 led by the American Bar Association Litigation Section (the "Section"), with funding from the MacArthur Foundation. ... The Program brought these lawyers to London for a week to train with a faculty of American trial …

Was Jesus Illegitimate? The Evidence Of His Social Interactions, James F. Mcgrath Jan 2007

Was Jesus Illegitimate? The Evidence Of His Social Interactions, James F. Mcgrath

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This article examines the social status of the historical Jesus in relation to recent studies that place Jesus into the social category of an illegitimate child. After surveying the evidence with respect to the situation of such individuals in first century Mediterranean and Jewish society, we shall proceed to examine whether Jesus' implied social status (as evidenced by accounts of his adult social interactions) coheres with what one would expect in the case of someone who bore the stigma of that status. Our study suggests that the scandal caused by Jesus' association with the marginalized clearly implies that he did …
