A Complicated Alchemy: Theorizing Identity Politics And The Politicization Of Migrant Remittances Under Donald Trump's Presidency, Stephen Wilks
A Complicated Alchemy: Theorizing Identity Politics And The Politicization Of Migrant Remittances Under Donald Trump's Presidency, Stephen Wilks
Cornell International Law Journal
Using law to conscript financial technology in aid of state goals is not new. Financial institutions have long been subject to myriad legal and regulatory reporting requirements designed to combat money laundering, enforce economic sanctions, support tax compliance, and interdict the financing of terrorism. Trump's particular approach to this tradition, however, seeks to capitalize on a particularly toxic convergence of race, class, economics, and globalization. America is not alone in its recent experience with surges in right wing, nationalist populism. Globalism's winds have posed challenges to those who have enjoyed the benefits of protectionist trade policies that no longer exist, …

Rethinking Free Trade, Fernando L. Leila
Cornell Law School Inter-University Graduate Student Conference Papers
This paper examines the present theories and shortcomings of current free trade policy, and the consequences thereof, which promote protectionist behavior among countries on an international scale. Theoretically, free trade should encourage progress within the global community. However, developing countries, with astonishing growth rates, like Brazil, China or India, have based their economies on opposing economic policies, closer to mercantilism than liberalization or free trade, allowing for poor countries to question whether free trade is the right way to improve their economies. Furthermore, a huge gap exists between what developed countries preach and what they practice, presenting a major obstacle …

Undocumented Migrant Workers In A Fragmented International Order, Chantal Thomas
Undocumented Migrant Workers In A Fragmented International Order, Chantal Thomas
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
This Paper tries to show the effects of a central challenge of contemporary global governance: the "interaction between normative orders that are fundamentally different in their underlying conceptual structure." The argument is that the dynamics of globalization create and accentuate particular social phenomena as well as efforts towards coordinated regulation of these phenomena, but that the latter are far from sufficient to meet the former. A further assertion is that global relations and distributions of power determine the operation of this fragmented framework. Social vulnerability is reflected in and reinforced by it. As such, the undocumented migrant worker challenges, in …
