Do Investment Treaties Prescribe A Deferential Standard Of Review, Anna T. Katselas
Do Investment Treaties Prescribe A Deferential Standard Of Review, Anna T. Katselas
Michigan Journal of International Law
The dramatic rise in foreign investment in recent decades has brought with it a corresponding increase in the number of bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and, in turn, the number of international investment disputes arising under those treaties. Investment treaty arbitration is the predominant method used to settle those disputes and has certain advantages for both foreign investors and host states compared to available alternatives, but it can tread on delicate issues typically within the domaine rieservd of states. The concern about due regard for sovereign interests in this context is far from purely academic. In the past twenty years, the …
Scaling "Local": The Implications Of Greenhouse Gas Regulation In San Bernardino County, Hari M. Osofsky
Scaling "Local": The Implications Of Greenhouse Gas Regulation In San Bernardino County, Hari M. Osofsky
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Essay analyzes local climate regulation in San Bernardino County as a window into the complexities of defining a local scale in an interconnected world. In so doing, it aims to contribute to the Symposium's broader dialogue about "Territory Without Boundaries" and the Panel's more specific discussion of "Urban Territory in a Global World." As a purely territorial matter, U.S. cities and counties differ substantially in their sizes, the quantity and physical characteristics of their land, the size and density of their populations, and the needs of their citizens. Structurally, these localities remain administrative subunits of states, but they also …
The Shifting Border Of Immigration Regulation, Ayelet Shachar
The Shifting Border Of Immigration Regulation, Ayelet Shachar
Michigan Journal of International Law
While American immigration law is still largely informed by the doctrine of plenary power, which holds that "[a]dmission to the United States is a privilege granted by the sovereign" (as the Supreme Court asserted in Knauff more than fifty years ago), what has dramatically changed in recent years is the location of "our gates," which no longer stand at the country's territorial edges. Instead, the border itself has become a moving barrier, a legal construct that is not tightly fixed to territorial benchmarks. This shifting border of immigration regulation, as we might call it, is selectively utilized by national …
What's Your Sign? -- International Norms, Signals, And Compliance, Charles K. Whitehead
What's Your Sign? -- International Norms, Signals, And Compliance, Charles K. Whitehead
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Article proposes a new approach to understanding state compliance with international obligations, positing that increased interaction among the world's regulators has reinforced network norms, as evidenced in part by a greater reliance among states on legally nonbinding instruments. This Article also begins to fill a gap in the growing scholarship on state compliance by proposing a better framework for understanding how international norms influence senior regulators and how they affect both state decisions to comply as well as levels of compliance.
Interpreting Urugual Round Agreements Act Section 102(B)'S Safeguards For State Sovereignty: Reconciling Judicial Independence With The United States Trade Representative's Policy Expertise, Brandon Johnson
Michigan Journal of International Law
In this Note, I address the concerns of one aspect of this academic commentary-the claim that the WTO Agreement may cause a tectonic shift in domestic regulatory power, away from the states and toward the federal government and/or the WTO. I argue that while the concerns about the loss of national sovereignty are exaggerated, there is a very real threat to the sovereignty of the States. Congress was aware of this danger and included a variety of provisions designed specifically to protect state sovereignty from federal encroachment in the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), the federal legislation incorporating the WTO …
Ec Customs Classification Rules: Should Ice Cream Melt?, Edwin A. Vermulst
Ec Customs Classification Rules: Should Ice Cream Melt?, Edwin A. Vermulst
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Article will demonstrate that these classification conflicts seldom have definitive solutions by examining European Community (EC or Community) classification rules in light of the international framework. This approach is justified because the EC's customs classification system, centered on the Combined Nomenclature (CN), is based on the most commonly used international system of classification, the Harmonized System (HS).
The International Court Of Justice And Administrative Tribunals Of International Organizations, Joanna Gomula
The International Court Of Justice And Administrative Tribunals Of International Organizations, Joanna Gomula
Michigan Journal of International Law
This paper will explore the origins of the Court's unusual system of review and underscore some of its problems. Surprisingly, this issue has not been adequately expounded, although occasionally different authors have discussed particular problems, such as the participation of individuals in proceedings before the Court.
The Internationalization Of The Securities Markets: Preface To A Symposium, Joel Seligman
The Internationalization Of The Securities Markets: Preface To A Symposium, Joel Seligman
Michigan Journal of International Law
This preface begins by tracing certain of the initial steps taken by the SEC in the internationalization of securities trading. Regulations involving issuers of new securities are discussed in two contexts. First, when foreign private issuers offer securities into the United States, and second, when securities are simultaneously offered in the United States and abroad. The preface concludes by introducing each of the articles in this symposium.
The Changing Structure Of The Securities Markets And The Securities Industry: Implications For International Securities Regulation, Aulana L. Peters, Andrew E. Feldman
The Changing Structure Of The Securities Markets And The Securities Industry: Implications For International Securities Regulation, Aulana L. Peters, Andrew E. Feldman
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article addresses the impact internationalization has had on the world's securities markets with a particular focus on its role in forcing change in the structure of those markets. Part I describes the forces involved in the internationalization process, and analyzes capital movement and other phenomena that demonstrate the extent of internationalization. Next, it reviews the structural changes that securities markets and the securities industry have made in response to the internationalization process. Part II analyzes the measures regulators have taken to address the implications of those developments. Part III discusses the October Market Break and how it illustrates the …
Securities Regulation In The International Marketplace: Bilateral And Multilateral Agreements, Daniel L. Goelzer, Anne Sullivan, Robert Mills
Securities Regulation In The International Marketplace: Bilateral And Multilateral Agreements, Daniel L. Goelzer, Anne Sullivan, Robert Mills
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article examines the experience of the SEC in securities regulation with respect to the international securities markets, focusing first as background upon recent developments in those markets, and then on the actual regulation of issuer disclosure, the trading markets, and enforcement in general. In each of the latter three areas, the article will consider the Commission's direct domestic actions in response to international trade, and compare those with international approaches to establish standards in these areas. This comparison demonstrates that international cooperation can, and should, develop new protections and predictable, common themes of regulation, for disclosure, market regulation, and …
Hidden Agenda: The Expansion Of Product Scope In International Trade Proceedings, Timothy A. Harr
Hidden Agenda: The Expansion Of Product Scope In International Trade Proceedings, Timothy A. Harr
Michigan Journal of International Law
Part II of this Article examines current legal standards. It concludes that U.S. product scope rulings are nominally made pursuant to a set of objective legal/factual standards, but that because of the breadth of these standards, the Commerce Department has considerable discretion in making such decisions. Part III examines recent Commerce Department product scope rulings, which highlights a policy goal of prevention of evasion by foreign suppliers. The Department, which technically has no authority to expand the product scope and no formal authority to consider evasion, is uncomfortable with this current situation. This has caused the Administration to propose amendments …
Proposals For Change In The Administration Of The Antidumping Act, Stephen L. Gibson
Proposals For Change In The Administration Of The Antidumping Act, Stephen L. Gibson
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article suggests changes that might be made in the administration of the existing Act to improve the efficiency of investigations and the fairness of determinations under the Act in its present form. Most of these suggestions are addressed to the Treasury Department's fair value investigation, with only a few comments on the International Trade Commission injury investigation phase. The ITC has developed a framework for injury investigations that appears generally to be both workable and acceptable to interested parties. Treasury's fair value investigation, on the other hand, has tended to be more controversial. This stems in part from the …
The Standard Of Injury In The Resolution Of Antidumping Disputes, Edward J. Krauland
The Standard Of Injury In The Resolution Of Antidumping Disputes, Edward J. Krauland
Michigan Journal of International Law
When a private party files a dumping complaint, the Antidumping Act of 1921 provides a two-step procedure for examining an alleged infraction by a foreign exporter. First, the Department of the Treasury must determine if imports are being marketed within the United States at less than fair value (hereinafter LTFV). If Treasury makes an affirmative determination, the International Trade Commission (ITC) must then determine if a United States industry is being injured, is likely to be injured, or is prevented from being established by reason of the LTFV sales. If any of these forms of injury is found, an antidumping …
Gilmore: An Antidumping Proceeding As Cost-Price Comparison, Fred A. Rodriguez
Gilmore: An Antidumping Proceeding As Cost-Price Comparison, Fred A. Rodriguez
Michigan Journal of International Law
In the usual dumping case, a producer sells his product abroad at prices lower than those at which the same product is sold in the domestic market (country of origin). But dumping is also possible in other circumstances. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (hereinafter GATT) and the Antidumping Code (hereinafter the Code) recognize dumping where, in the absence of a domestic price, the price in the export market is lower than the price for a comparable product in a third country market. If neither a domestic nor a third country price is available, these international agreements provide that …
