A History Of Gatt Unfair Trade Remedy Law--Confusion Of Purposes, John J. Barceló Iii
A History Of Gatt Unfair Trade Remedy Law--Confusion Of Purposes, John J. Barceló Iii
John J. Barceló III
This paper presents an analytical history of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy law in GATT and its member countries. In recent years this body of ‘unfair trade remedy’ law has flourished in the western trading system. Important trading countries have adopted new or expanded anti-dumping and anti-subsidy laws and imposed trade-blocking remedies under them more frequently than ever before. I try to explain in this essay how and why these laws--which I view as protectionist--have prospered and become so rooted in GATT and its member countries.
Subsidies And Countervailing Duties--Analysis And A Proposal, John J. Barceló Iii
Subsidies And Countervailing Duties--Analysis And A Proposal, John J. Barceló Iii
John J. Barceló III
The author recommends a new scheme for regulating the use of government subsidies and countervailing duties in international trade, an area presently regulated by the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. He contends that these rules should be based to a large extent on principles of free trade and economic efficiency. In addition to setting out proposed regulations, the author analyzes the strength and weaknesses of free trade theory and of the present GATT rules regarding subsidies and countervailing duties.

Is The Wto Quietly Fading Away?: The New Regionalism And Global Trade Rules, Stephen J. Powell, Trisha Low
Stephen Joseph Powell
While scholars and governments alike view the liberalization of international trade as a positive development, they disagree on the medium that will accomplish this objective with the highest economic returns. Some experts believe that multilateralism through the 150+ member World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only way to achieve truly open and efficient trade. Others view multilateralism as but an aspiration and find that regionalism offers the only viable prospect for the meaningful further opening of markets. In light of what we label the "new regionalism," our paper explores in detail the positive and negative effects of regional trade arrangements …

Antidumping And Cotton Subsidies: A Market-Based Defense Of Unfair Trade Remedies, Nadia E. Nedzel
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
This article argues that trade remedies, problematic though they may be, provide a legal framework in which litigation can and must be promulgated to protect the benefits of a global market economy.
The Transformation Of World Trade, Joost Pauwelyn
The Transformation Of World Trade, Joost Pauwelyn
Michigan Law Review
This Article contests the traditional view of the evolution of the world trade system. Rather than a unidirectional process of legalization focused exclusively on the system's normative structure, Part I of the Article, "The Explosion of the GATT Club," recounts the transformation from GATT to WTO as a bidirectional interaction between law and politics; in particular, between the system's legal-normative structure and its political, decision making branch Part II of this Article, "The Threat of a WTO Fortress," challenges the view that a choice must be made between politics and law or, put differently, between, on the one hand, democratic …
Legal Services And The Doha Round Dilemma, Sydney M. Cone Iii.
Legal Services And The Doha Round Dilemma, Sydney M. Cone Iii.
Articles & Chapters
This article examines the nexus between two international topics, namely, trade negotiations, and regulation of the cross-border practice of law. Admittedly, this nexus is not found at a conventional crossroads. Legal services lie somewhat at the periphery of international trade measured in terms of the global value of goods, services and investment used to define major international economic relationships, or to define priorities in the formulation of national and transnational economic policies. Moreover, trade negotiators hardly figure amongst the principal regulators having responsibility for the professional conduct of individuals and firms engaged in the practice of law.
Notwithstanding the somewhat …
Are Tuna And Dolphins The Same? A Rule Of Reason Approach To Resolve The Trade And Environment Conflict, Anantha K. Paruthipattu
Are Tuna And Dolphins The Same? A Rule Of Reason Approach To Resolve The Trade And Environment Conflict, Anantha K. Paruthipattu
LLM Theses and Essays
Trade and environment are both primary values in an ecologically and economically interdependent world; unleashing trade without regard to environmental impact is as detrimental as guarding the environment at the expense of trade and development. Tuna and dolphins have come to symbolize the policy struggle between trade and environment. In early 1990, the United States banned the import of tuna from Mexico and other countries that were fishing in a manner that damaged dolphins in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean. Mexico challenged this ban before a GATT Panel, which ruled against the United States and held that the tuna ban …

The World Trade Organization's Agreement On Government Procurement: Expanding Disciplines, Declining Membership?, Bernard Hoekman, Petros C. Mavroidis
Faculty Scholarship
The Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) – originally negotiated during the Tokyo Round – was renegotiated for the second time during the Uruguay Round. It is one of the WTO's so-called Plurilateral Agreements, in that its disciplines apply only to those WTO Members that have signed it. In contrast to most of the other Tokyo Round codes – e.g., the agreements on technical barriers to trade (standards), import licensing, customs valuation, subsidies, and antidumping – the GPA could not be 'multilateralized'. With the reintroduction of agriculture and textiles and clothing into the GATT, procurement has therefore become the major 'hole' …

Why A Private Right Of Action Against Dumping Would Violate Gatt, Roger P. Alford
Why A Private Right Of Action Against Dumping Would Violate Gatt, Roger P. Alford
Journal Articles
Despite its other successes, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) has been criticized as being anything but successful in the antidumping arena. In particular, industries in the United States argue that GATT has failed to control dumping effectively and that alternative forms of relief are needed to counteract this unfair trade practice. The root of their concerns is the prospective nature of the existing remedy. Since antidumping duties are assessed only after a violation has been detected, dumping is essentially a risk-free, no-lose proposition, giving foreign exporters a free "first bite at the apple." The absence of monetary …
State Buy-American Laws - Is There A Judicial Solution?, George C. Lamb, Iii
State Buy-American Laws - Is There A Judicial Solution?, George C. Lamb, Iii
Vanderbilt Law Review
State buy-American statutes are among the most peculiar of legislative responses to problems of unemployment and low levels of economic growth in the United States. Designed to decrease unemployment among American workers by promoting the development of American industry, the statutes typically require that purchasers of goods to be used in state-subsidized projects prefer products manufactured in America over those made in foreign countries, often regardless of price or quality.' State buy-American statutes are presently in effect in a number of states, despite criticism that they constitute devices of economic protectionism for domestic goods and barriers to a unified United …
