The United States And Iran – Decades Of Animosity: An Analysis Of The Path To The Current Conflict, Patrick Mcdade Jan 2012

The United States And Iran – Decades Of Animosity: An Analysis Of The Path To The Current Conflict, Patrick Mcdade

University of Baltimore Journal of International Law

Lost in the international debate raging around Iran’s burgeoning nuclear weapons program is the deep and complex history that exists between the United States and Iran, as well as the legal rights and responsibilities that exist between the two nations. A thorough examination of the intensely adversarial relationship that has developed over the past sixty years must be undertaken before any path to a diplomatic solution is likely to succeed. The historical evidence clearly shows that Iran’s animosity towards and distrust of the United States is entirely justified, and the United States’ mistrust of Iran is equally well-grounded. Due these …

Shake Table Testing Of A Utility-Scale Wind Turbine, Ian Prowell, Chia Ming Uang, Ahmed Elgamal, J. Enrique Luco, Lanhui Guo

Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

Structural response characteristics and modal parameters are presented for base shaking imparted in two configurations, both parallel (configuration 1) and perpendicular (configuration 2) to the axis of rotation of the rotor. Results are summarized for a series of progressively stronger motions imparted in configuration 1, with analysis identifying damage sources leading to an overall loss in stiffness. Two sources of …


The New Global Human Community, Rafael Domingo Jan 2012

The New Global Human Community, Rafael Domingo

Chicago Journal of International Law

Under the impact of globalization, the international community is in the process of evolving into a new community made up of new members, inspired by new principles, and based on new ideas. The first part of this Article aims to justify the existence of this emerging community using four arguments that can be summarized by the Latin terms dignitas, usus, necessitas, and bonum commune. The second part argues that the new global human community has four features: that it comprises persons, not nation-states; that it is universal in nature; that membership in it is compulsory; and that it is incomplete …


China's Indigenous Innovation Policies Under The Trips And Gpa Agreements And Alternatives For Promoting Economic Growth, S. James Boumil Iii Jan 2012

China's Indigenous Innovation Policies Under The Trips And Gpa Agreements And Alternatives For Promoting Economic Growth, S. James Boumil Iii

Chicago Journal of International Law

China's intricate web of Indigenous Innovation policies affords preferences in government procurement to certain high-technology products whose intellectual property is owned or registered in China. While the the policies were intended to strengthen China's national economy, they have been heavily criticized, notably by the US and the EU, as a strategic attempt to commercialize non-Chinese proprietary ideas in China and as a trade barrier that harms all stakeholders in the world marketplace. Although China's State Council recently committed the county to repealing several key Indigenous Innovation measures, the extent to which Indigenous Innovation preferences will be implemented by the local …


Harnessing The Cloud: International Law Implications Of Cloud-Computing, Vineeth Narayanan Jan 2012

Harnessing The Cloud: International Law Implications Of Cloud-Computing, Vineeth Narayanan

Chicago Journal of International Law

For decades, with the advent of better and faster computer chips, processor speed has grown exponentially, and with it, the demand for computing power. Now, as that growth slows due to technological bottlenecks, the world will look to solutions like cloud-computing to ensure that the ever-increasing demand of computing power is met. Thus, the need for efficient, reliable, and powerful cloud-computing services will lead to and necessitate global cloud-computing service providers. But their vitalness will also bring cloud-computing under the scrutiny of government regulation, as countries struggle to ensure that the data of their citizenry is protected. This Comment explores …


Looking To Fill An International Regulatory Gap: Brazil Brings The Issue Of Exchange Rates And Trade Before The World Trade Organization, Antonia F. Pereira, Silas W. Allard Jan 2012

Looking To Fill An International Regulatory Gap: Brazil Brings The Issue Of Exchange Rates And Trade Before The World Trade Organization, Antonia F. Pereira, Silas W. Allard

Emory International Law Review

Concern over the relationship between exchange rates and trade has a long history in both international law and economics. This concern has manifested itself in two primary ways: first, as a worry about the impact of currency fluctuation on trade flows and, second, as a worry about the impact of currency manipulation on fairness in the international trading regime. While there is no consensus on how to address the problems created by the relationship of exchange rates and trade, this lack of consensus has done nothing to diminish states' concerns over the impact of currency fluctuation and manipulation on trade.


Adjudicating The Intersection Of Marital Immigration, Domestic Violence, And Spousal Murder: China-Taiwan Marriages And Competing Legal Domains, Sara L. Friedman Jan 2012

Adjudicating The Intersection Of Marital Immigration, Domestic Violence, And Spousal Murder: China-Taiwan Marriages And Competing Legal Domains, Sara L. Friedman

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies

Cross-border marriages and other forms of family reunification dominate officially recognized migratory flows around the world today, and they offer the most widely recognized path to naturalized citizenship in destination countries. At the same time, however, transnational marriages may also rest on shaky foundations precisely because immigrant spouses depend on their citizen partner for legal status. When marriages fail due to domestic violence, they expose the incompatibility of different legal domains organized around domestic violence prevention and immigration regulation. This Article examines the legal conflicts that emerged in response to a recent case in Taiwan involving an immigrant wife from …
