Understanding The Nansen Passport: A System Of Manipulation, Kacey Bengel
Understanding The Nansen Passport: A System Of Manipulation, Kacey Bengel
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The aftermath of World War I, the "war to end all wars," left the world with as many new problems as it did resolutions. State powers tested and expanded the boundaries and interpretations of international law; in the end, there were the triumphant Allied Powers, the heavily wounded Central Powers, and millions of displaced individuals left adrift in the wake. Never before had the international community attempted to address the issue of refugees, and the product of the postwar efforts did not provide a complete solution. This paper will analyze the international community's] response to the massive refugee crisis and …
The Affordable Care Act And International Recruitment And Migration Of Nursing Professionals, Helen D. Arnold
The Affordable Care Act And International Recruitment And Migration Of Nursing Professionals, Helen D. Arnold
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Through its various provisions, the Affordable Care Act will insure more than thirty million Americans by January 1, 2014. This dramatic increase in coverage will have significant effects on both the U.S. economy and its healthcare system. Nursing professionals make up a large portion of the U.S. healthcare system and with a dramatic nursing shortage already in place, employers increasingly look abroad to fill nursing vacancies. Due to the increasing effects of globalization, foreign nurses have become an integral part of the U.S. healthcare system. This note argues that the increased coverage created by the Affordable Care Act will increase …

Recruiting "Super Talent:" The New World Of Selective Migration Regimes, Ayelet Shachar, Ran Hirschl
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The desire to be great, to make a lasting mark, is as old as civilization itself. Today, it is no longer measured exclusively by the size of a polity's armed forces, the height of its pyramids, the luxury of its palaces, or even the wealth of its natural resources. Governments in high-income countries and emerging economies alike have come to subscribe to the view that in order to secure a position in the pantheon of excellence, it is the ability to draw human capital, to become an "IQ magnet," that counts. Across the globe, countries are vying to outbid one …

Toward A World Migratory Regime, Raffaele Marchetti
Toward A World Migratory Regime, Raffaele Marchetti
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Increasing transnationalism challenges the predominant statist treatment of migration and citizenship. Global, indeed cosmopolitan, citizenship offers an alternative to open border policies and global migratory management that focuses on the extent to which political agents are free to move and join different societies. Multilayered citizenship and multileveled political membership encourages a supranational institution dedicated to global deliberation. Such a migratory regulatory system and new admission criteria developed under the universal membership regime ensure the grant of civil, social, and political rights to all migrants.
Law Writing, Immigration, And Globalization In The British Virgin Islands, Bill Maurer
Law Writing, Immigration, And Globalization In The British Virgin Islands, Bill Maurer
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In this article Mr. Bill Maurer addresses a fundamental tension
at work in the British Virgin Islands: while British Virgin Islanders
(BVIslanders) proudly term themselves a "law and order" people
and seek to distinguish themselves from other Caribbean peoples,
the territory remains as wedded as ever to its British rulers and the
West. Mr. Maurer first notes that when a colonial people begins to
view itself as essentially different from its rulers, it may begin a
concomitant move toward self-rule. He shows that while the BVI
exhibits many attributes of such a territory, BVIslanders consider
their ties to Britain a …
