The Conundrum Of Wto Accession Protocols: In Search Of Legality And Legitimacy, Julia Ya Qin Jan 2015

The Conundrum Of Wto Accession Protocols: In Search Of Legality And Legitimacy, Julia Ya Qin

Law Faculty Research Publications

Accession to the World Trade Organization differs from that of other international organizations in one major aspect: the WTO may prescribe more stringent rules for acceded members, depending on the result of individual accession negotiations. These country-specific rules are set out in the protocols of accession and now form a significant part of WTO law. However, questions concerning the legality and legitimacy of such rules remain to be answered. The accession protocols effectively modify the provisions of the WTO multilateral trade agreements, but the legal basis for so doing has never been properly explained and the relationship between the accession …

Mitigating Disaster: A Communitarian Response, Robert M. Ackerman Jan 2008

Mitigating Disaster: A Communitarian Response, Robert M. Ackerman

Law Faculty Research Publications

In this essay, I present a communitarian view as to how we might best respond to disaster, and in particular, to losses suffered by the direct victims of disaster. My focus will be on financial compensation to disaster victims, which admittedly occupies only a small part of the spectrum of disaster response.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration And The Beauty Of Surprise: A Symposium Introduction, Robert M. Ackerman, Nancy A. Welsh

Law Faculty Research Publications

The rapid changes in technology and society are destabilizing old occupations, while the newly emerging ones are still in a state of chaos.

How can we live up to the demands of our job and the expectations of society without denying the needs of our personal identities? What resources can we draw on, as powerful, often contradictory forces cause stress, doubt, and guilt to creep into the performance of our work?


Structure, Legitimacy And Nafta’S Investment Chapter, Charles Hendrickson Brower Ii Jan 2003

Structure, Legitimacy And Nafta’S Investment Chapter, Charles Hendrickson Brower Ii

Law Faculty Research Publications

In this Article, Professor Brower examines the investment chapter of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). He argues that the relevant treaty provisions lack a substantial measure of textual clarity. In addition, he argues that ad hoc tribunals based on the commercial arbitration model have generated incoherent doctrine and are relatively less accountable, transparent, and accessible than permanent tribunals. Furthermore, he argues that the NAFTA Parties and their courts so far appear to place a higher priority on the pursuit of narrow self-interest than on the principled administration of international governance. Collectively, these circumstances help to explain the frequency …
