The Threat Of Border Security On Indigenous Free Passage Rights In North America, Joshua J. Tonra

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This note will examine the development and current state of passage rights under United States (Part I), Canadian (Part II), and Mexican law (Part 111). Part IV of this note will then critically explore the current state of the law as it affects two tribes whose homelands are bisected by the United States' borders with its neighbors: the Mohawk Nation, along the U.S.-Canada border; and the Tohono O'odham, on the U.S.-Mexico border. The Note will conclude with an examination of a number of possible changes to border policies affecting the indigenous nations, and a proposal for a unified policy for …


Getting A Good Buy With A Little Help From A Friend: Turning To The United States To Go Forward With Australian Takeovers Regulation, James Mcconvill Jan 2006

Getting A Good Buy With A Little Help From A Friend: Turning To The United States To Go Forward With Australian Takeovers Regulation, James Mcconvill

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The idea behind this article is to unlock the hidden "genius" of Australian takeovers law. 1 This is to be achieved not by way of legislative reform, but rather by taking a fresh look at the law which already exists, in light of the structure of U.S. takeovers law and innovation in U.S. corporate law scholarship, along with the use of principles and concepts in marketing. It will draw upon the U.S. economic analysis of law and corporate law; more specifically, treating law as a product in a market. Accordingly, this makes it useful to draw upon principles of marketing …


Technology Transfer In The People's Republic Of China: An Assessment, Stanley J. Marcuss, Arthur R. Watson Jan 1989

Technology Transfer In The People's Republic Of China: An Assessment, Stanley J. Marcuss, Arthur R. Watson

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Perhaps the most striking aspect of the trading relationship between the United States and the People's Republic of China is its explosive growth over the last fifteen years. In 1973, the total value of bilateral trade between the U.S. and China was $805 million (up from a mere $5 million just two years earlier). In 1987, this figure reached $10.4 billion - an increase of over 1000 per cent. This growth notwithstanding, the United States is not a commanding presence in the PRC's overall trade picture. The U.S. share of total PRC imports in 1986 (almost $43 billion) is only …

Canadian Signal Piracy Revisted In Light Of United States Ratification Of The Free Trade Agreememt And The Berne Convention: Is This A Blueprint For Global Intellectual Property Protection?, Nancy R. Weisberg

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This note will examine the Canadian piracy problem in light of these recent developments. Next, it will analyze whether the FTA and the Berne Convention can provide an adequate means of preventing unauthorized retransmission of United States intellectual property in the future. Finally, this note will consider practicable alternatives, which would alleviate electronic piracy on a global scale. This note will conclude that if a practicable remedy can be enacted in Canada, then such a remedy could act as a blueprint for global implementation.

The Faces Of Japanese Labor Relations In Japan And The U.S. And The Emerging Legal Issues Under U.S. Labor Laws, Ronald C. Brown

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The so-called "traditions" of Japanese labor relations are being put into practice in the United States in adapted form by Japanese investors and are being adopted by U.S. companies as well. This Japanese-style labor relations is in effect - the "new labor relations" in the United States.


The United States-Canadian Automotive Trading Relationship And The Legality Of The Canadian Duty Remission Program, David A. Cohen Jan 1987

The United States-Canadian Automotive Trading Relationship And The Legality Of The Canadian Duty Remission Program, David A. Cohen

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The automotive industry influences the entire U.S. economy. This huge industrial structure directly affects over four million jobs in the United States. In terms of foreign trade in 1985, the United States exported approximately $6 billion worth of new passenger cars to foreign nations; 96 percent of those automobiles went to Canada. This is an illustration of the U.S. automotive industry's direct interest in the U.S.-Canadian trading relationship, and the desire to obtain the potential benefits of a "broadened trading relationship" between the two countries. Presently, the United States and Canada have a unique dutyfree automotive trading arrangement which is …


The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act And Antitrust: A Hollow Promise, Donald E. Dekieffer Jan 1979

The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act And Antitrust: A Hollow Promise, Donald E. Dekieffer

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Even when it has been "successfully" used, the FSIA has not been able to overcome any of the traditional substantive defenses used by foreign companies to insulate themselves from antitrust scrutiny. Foreign compulsion, sovereign immunity, and an act of state remain impregnable bastions to American plaintiffs injured by the effects of offshore conspiracies.


Japanese Attitudes Towards Commerical Agreements With The People's Republic Of China, Lewis Marks, Masaru Ono Jan 1979

Japanese Attitudes Towards Commerical Agreements With The People's Republic Of China, Lewis Marks, Masaru Ono

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

This article intends to demonstrate the similarity of Japanese and Chinese attitudes towards contractual agreements by contrasting Japan-.P.R.C. agreements with Japan-United States and Japan-third world agreements. This similarity of attitudes, the structural support framework for bilateral trade, technology, and after-sales service can explain Japan's success in trading with the P.R.C.
