Preemption In The 21st Century: What Are The Legal Parameters?, Paul Williams, Scott Lyons, Tali Neuwirth
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
While there has been significant political discussion as to the utility and/or risks associated with the doctrine of preemption, the legal debate has to date been fairly limited. Few if any have sought to define the legal parameters of the doctrine. The purpose of this article is to help define the appropriate legal parameters for use of the doctrine. This article will first review the strategic rationale for preemption, and a detailed definition of the modern doctrine. This will be followed by a review of the United States’ government’s legal rationale and a review of the emerging legal debate before …

Establishing A Stable Democratic Constitutional Structure In Iraq: Some Basic Considerations, Paul Williams
Establishing A Stable Democratic Constitutional Structure In Iraq: Some Basic Considerations, Paul Williams
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
As the situation in Iraq continues to stabilize, the people of Iraq will turn to the task of reconstituting an Iraqi state. One of the first steps in this process will be to design, agree upon, and implement a new constitutional structure. While drafting a new constitution is a difficult and contentious process for any country, the challenges are substantially magnified for Iraq given its complex mosaic of ethnic and religious identities, the history of repression under Saddam Hussein, the necessary presence of American forces, and Iraq’s complex relations with its neighboring states.
The overriding tension faced by the drafters …

Development Decision Making And The Content Of International Development Law, Daniel D. Bradlow
Development Decision Making And The Content Of International Development Law, Daniel D. Bradlow
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
International development law deals with the rights and duties of states and other actors in the development process. As the consensus view of the development process disintegrated during the 1970s and 1980s, the agreement on the content of international development law also began to break down.

The first, the traditional view, maintains that development is about economic growth, which can be distinguished from other social, cultural, environmental, and political development issues in society. The second, the modern view, maintains that development is an integrated process of change involving intertwined economic, social, …
