Fourth, I will examine the various methods by which their …

German Reunification: The Effect On International Joint Ventures, Leonard P. Feldman

Florida Journal of International Law

The German Democratic Republic (GDR or East Germany) and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG or West Germany) have reunified economically. Western businessmen who seek to invest in Germany have prepared for virtually any possibility, including overnight revision of business plans and concepts. While some citizens who remain in the GDR clash with newly forming opposition parties, many East German residents flee daily to the FRG. Yet within the first few months since the Berlin Wall fell, East-West business partners have signed and negotiated numerous cooperative agreements.

One such cooperative agreement which the GDR and FRG currently are promoting is …

Garcia And Judicially-Imposed Constitutional Protections Of State Sovereignty: The Australian Experience, John E. Eichhorst, Ronald C. Mccallum

Florida Journal of International Law

This article addresses the question of what part courts should play in preserving the states’ role in the federation by focusing upon Australia’s experience in this regard. The High Court of Australia’s efforts to confine federal legislative powers in order to protect areas of state sovereignty is relevant to American constitutional law in that the relationship between federal and state powers in the Australian Constitution is similar to that created by the U.S. Constitution. The influence of the American model upon the constitutional structure of the Australian federation is confirmed by evidence of the intent of the Australian constitutional framers …

A Contemporary Theory Of Humanitarian Intervention, R. George Wright Jun 2022

A Contemporary Theory Of Humanitarian Intervention, R. George Wright

Florida Journal of International Law

The question of humanitarian intervention is not new. Coercive intervention by a foreign power into the arguably internal affairs of a sovereign state, for allegedly humanitarian reasons, has always been controversial. Whether, or under what circumstances, such intervention is permitted by international law has been widely disputed. If there is any consensus, it is that such intervention should generally be prohibited by international law, or should at least be narrowly restricted by various substantive and procedural limitations.

This article will argue, however, that such a restrictive approach to humanitarian intervention is no longer appropriate. It makes diminishing historical sense given …
