U.S. Federalism And Spanish Autonomy – Lessons From U.S. Federalism For The External Activities Of Substate Entities, Antonio F. Perez
U.S. Federalism And Spanish Autonomy – Lessons From U.S. Federalism For The External Activities Of Substate Entities, Antonio F. Perez
Scholarly Articles
This article will focus on a narrow aspect of the larger question of the effect of international economic integration and increased international security on the national legal order of complex states, such as the United States and Spain. At first glance, the United States and Spain have rather different systems of constitutional law concerning the relationship between the center and periphery. Nonetheless, as this article will argue, it is revealing to explore the recent responses of theories as different as U.S. federalism and Spain's system of autonomous communities to the new international environment in the crucial area of the external …

Convergence And Competition: The Case Of Bank Regulation In Britain And The United States, Heidi Mandanis Schooner, Michael Taylor
Convergence And Competition: The Case Of Bank Regulation In Britain And The United States, Heidi Mandanis Schooner, Michael Taylor
Scholarly Articles
Our article considers whether the existence of a global banking market has resulted in the convergence of bank supervisory policy among different nationally-based regulatory regimes. In particular, we consider whether regulatory authorities in the United States and Great Britain, as providers of regulatory services, compete on the basis of the "net regulatory benefit" (NRB) that they provide to their respective regulatees, i.e., banks. After a detailed examination of the history of bank regulation in the US and UK, we observe that there is no clear trend towards convergence by competition. We find that, while regulatory competition may play an important …

Finally, Part III makes observations and draws conclusions regarding the processes examined in Part II.
Sovereignty, Freedom, And Civil Society: Toward A New Jerusalem, Antonio F. Perez
Sovereignty, Freedom, And Civil Society: Toward A New Jerusalem, Antonio F. Perez
Scholarly Articles
Jerusalem has become a symbol of the world's past. In one sense, of course, it is holy ground to three of the world's great historical religions. The very identity of Muslims, Christians, and Jews are bound up in stories in which the city of Jerusalem plays a large, and sometimes central, role. But Jerusalem is also a symbol of the past in a much different way. Much like today's system of states, the debate concerning sovereignty over Jerusalem is a prisoner of the history of international law-a history that has been told in the language of absolute and undivided sovereignty …

Fundamental Constitutional Rights In The New Constitutions Of Eastern And Central Europe, Rett R. Ludwikowski
Scholarly Articles
The goal of this article is to review the efforts of the drafters. This study analyzes the process of drafting the new bills of rights against the background of the Western experience. The paper consists of two parts. The first examines the genesis of American and European constitutional protection of human rights, including the socialist concept of the bill of rights. The second is an analysis of basic constitutional rights as provided in several new constitutions and constitutional drafts of the countries of former Soviet dominance.

Constitution Making In The Countries Of Former Soviet Dominance: Current Development, Rett R. Ludwikowski
Constitution Making In The Countries Of Former Soviet Dominance: Current Development, Rett R. Ludwikowski
Scholarly Articles
The article consists of two parts. The first is the update of constitutional transformation in the region experiencing the retreat from communism. The organization of this part requires some explanation. The part breaks down into two separate chapters on constitution-drafting in former Soviet Republics and in the new democracies of East-Central Europe. As the former Soviet republics existed within the same statehood until the end of 1991, it seemed appropriate to assemble comments on political developments in the former U.S.S.R in one subchapter examining the end of Gorbachev's era and the process of the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent …

Offenders Abroad: The Case For Nationality-Based Criminal Jurisdiction, Geoffrey R. Watson
Offenders Abroad: The Case For Nationality-Based Criminal Jurisdiction, Geoffrey R. Watson
Scholarly Articles
When a host state does not prosecute a U.S. national who commits a violent crime abroad, the United States does not exercise jurisdiction. Should the United States eschew nationality jurisdiction, when it may provide the only basis for prosecution? Part II of this article traces the evolution of nationalitybased criminal jurisdiction in U.S. law and asserts that the United States has in fact embraced such jurisdiction in the past, usually to ensure that U.S. offenders abroad were tried by U.S. courts rather than foreign tribunals. Part III examines the current U.S. jurisdictional scheme, which relies on foreign states to prosecute …

The French Declaration Of The Rights Of Man And Citizen And The American Constitutional Development, Rett R. Ludwikowski
The French Declaration Of The Rights Of Man And Citizen And The American Constitutional Development, Rett R. Ludwikowski
Scholarly Articles
The thorough examination of the influence of the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen on constitutions has long awaited proper implementation. The importance of the French act has never been questioned but its multi-sided impact has not been satisfactorily evaluated.
With respect to the American Constitution, this problem merits a specially comprehensive study. Although the American and French politics at the end of the eighteenth century were carefully examined, the links between the constitutional developments of both countries has never been researched exhaustively. The reasons seem to be threefold. First, with exception of the American Constitution, the …
The Beginning Of The Constitutional Era: A Bicentennial Comparative Study Of The American And French Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski
The Beginning Of The Constitutional Era: A Bicentennial Comparative Study Of The American And French Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski
Scholarly Articles
This article is intended only to be introductory. The author is quite aware that the period surrounding the creation of the American Constitution has been profoundly studied; thorough analysis has been provided concerning both the origin and historical development of the American Constitution, as well as the intellectual background of the "founding generation." Characteristically, these studies have focused on the "American constitutional tradition," which means that they have been limited to little more than two centuries of colonial experience.
This essay follows a different vein of inquiry. The author's purpose is not to add another article to the numerous works …

Two Firsts: A Comparative Study Of The American And The Polish Constitutions, Rett R. Ludwikowski
Scholarly Articles
This article is only an introductory study to further inquiry. It focuses on the first two constitutions in the world: the American Constitution of 1787 and the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791. Furthermore, the emphasis of this essay will be disposed of in a different manner than in the above mentioned studies. The author's purpose is not to add another article to the numerous works already devoted to American Constitutional development; instead, the following remarks will emphasize Polish constitutional history, and treat the American constitutional experience as a background for comparison.

The Plight Of The Genetically Handicapped Newborn: A Comparative Analysis, George P. Smith Ii
Scholarly Articles
Confusion and controversy surround efforts to re-evaluate and, thus, redefine the extent to which governmental intrusion should be allowed in the doctor-patient relationship vis-a-vis the treatment or non treatment of genetically handicapped, at risk infants. The purpose of this article is to present a succinct comparative analysis of the medical-legal posture in Britain and the United States and from this analysis to develop a construct to aid the physician and the family in making decisions concerning the administration or the withholding of treatment for genetically defective newborns.

Student Participation In University And Law School Governance, George P. Smith Ii
Scholarly Articles
To gain a better perspective for analysis of the present extent of student participation in university governance, it will be helpful to examine the experiences of several countries in Western Europe. This Article will examine the means by which American law schools have permitted reasonable student participation without threatening the academic freedom of law school faculties, a threat which the European experience reminds us is very real.
