Brexit, The Misrepresentation Of Democracy, And The Rock Of Gibraltar, James J. Friedberg

Law Faculty Scholarship

This short essay makes three points regarding Brexit that have not been widely considered in public or academic debate.

Mickey Goes To France: A Case Study Of The Euro Disneyland Negotiations, Lauren A. Newell

Law Faculty Scholarship

Euro Disneyland (since renamed Disneyland Resort Paris) in Marne-la-Vallée, France was declared a success even before it was built, and yet it narrowly escaped a humiliating bankruptcy after opening.

Through a case study of the negotiations, this article reveals why the reality proved so different from the expectations. It concludes with advice for how The Walt Disney Company — and, by implication, any multinational firm — should …
