Global Laws, Local Lives: Impact Of The New Regionalism On Human Rights Compliance, Stephen J. Powell, Patricia Camino Pérez
Global Laws, Local Lives: Impact Of The New Regionalism On Human Rights Compliance, Stephen J. Powell, Patricia Camino Pérez
Stephen Joseph Powell
Continuation of the brisk pace of international economic growth with its necessarily increased use of natural resources—often at unsustainable levels—and its higher levels of pollution—often at the cost of citizen health—combine with the rules of the global trading system to threaten human rights to health, to freedom from forced or child labor, to non-discrimination, to a fair wage, to a healthy environment, even to democratic governance and participation in the political process. As a result, in recent years a growing number of economists begrudgingly acknowledge the incontrovertible—although presently dysfunctional—linkage between trade and human rights and the need to integrate these …
The Role Of United States Trade Laws In Resolving The Florida-Mexico Tomato Conflict, Stephen J. Powell, Mark A. Barnett
The Role Of United States Trade Laws In Resolving The Florida-Mexico Tomato Conflict, Stephen J. Powell, Mark A. Barnett
Stephen Joseph Powell
For discussion purposes, we have been asked to assume that the agreement entered into in October 1996 between the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) and Mexican tomato exporters, which resulted in suspension of an antidumping investigation of tomatoes from Mexico, has ended. The new owner of many of Florida's winter vegetable producers, concerned with the continuing rise in market share represented by Mexican imports, is considering further action under the trade remedy and other laws. This article will discuss the potential role of the antidumping and countervailing duty laws in these deliberations, as well as the operation of the dispute …

Is The Wto Quietly Fading Away?: The New Regionalism And Global Trade Rules, Stephen J. Powell, Trisha Low
Stephen Joseph Powell
While scholars and governments alike view the liberalization of international trade as a positive development, they disagree on the medium that will accomplish this objective with the highest economic returns. Some experts believe that multilateralism through the 150+ member World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only way to achieve truly open and efficient trade. Others view multilateralism as but an aspiration and find that regionalism offers the only viable prospect for the meaningful further opening of markets. In light of what we label the "new regionalism," our paper explores in detail the positive and negative effects of regional trade arrangements …
The Cotton And Sugar Subsidies Decisions: Wto's Dispute Settlement System Rebalances The Agreement On Agriculture, Stephen J. Powell, Andrew Schmitz
The Cotton And Sugar Subsidies Decisions: Wto's Dispute Settlement System Rebalances The Agreement On Agriculture, Stephen J. Powell, Andrew Schmitz
Stephen Joseph Powell
As far back as David Ricardo's shattering insight as to comparative advantage in 1817, agriculture has enjoyed special favor in trade. The unique place of farming was so well established by the time the 1947 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ("GATT") was negotiated that GATT's tight disciplines on government interference with free trade not only exempted government protections to growers, but in fact were drafted to be fully consistent with the agricultural policies of the major signatories. While it would be an exaggeration to argue that GATT' s first half century was without impact on agricultural benefits, the sector …

Limiting Anticompetitive Government Interventions That Benefit Special Interests, D. Daniel Sokol
Limiting Anticompetitive Government Interventions That Benefit Special Interests, D. Daniel Sokol
D. Daniel Sokol
When government regulates, it may either intentionally or unintentionally generate restraints that reduce competition ("public restraints"). Public restraints allow a business to cloak its action in government authority and to immunize it from antitrust regulation. Private businesses may misuse the government's grant of antitrust immunity to facilitate behavior that benefits businesses at consumers' expense. One way is by obtaining government grants of immunity from antitrust scrutiny. A recent series of Supreme Court decisions has made this situation worse by limiting the reach of antitrust law in favor of sector regulation. This is true even though the Supreme Court refers to …

Us - Tuna: Implications For The Definition Of Technical Regulation And For Developing Countries, Henri Joel Nkuepo
Us - Tuna: Implications For The Definition Of Technical Regulation And For Developing Countries, Henri Joel Nkuepo
Henri Joel Nkuepo
Before US – Tuna, defining a technical regulation was less confusing. Developing countries could rely on the guidelines provided by both the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Panel could rely on the definition of technical regulation as explained in EC – Asbestos by the Appellate Body (AB). The paper at hand shows how the AB’s definition of a technical regulation in US – Tuna will affect future cases and examines its impact on developing countries’ understanding of Annex 1.1 of the Technical Barrier to Trade Agreement (TBT).

China's Anti-Dumping Regime And Compliance With Anti-Dumping Principles: An Analysis Using Agricultural Dumping Case Studies, Adam Soliman
China's Anti-Dumping Regime And Compliance With Anti-Dumping Principles: An Analysis Using Agricultural Dumping Case Studies, Adam Soliman
University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review
The paper assesses China's anti-dumping regime, one of the important structures implemented by China in order to become a full member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Section One sets forth the WTO's anti-dumping principles as well as analyzes the differences between the WTO principles and the definition of "dumping" as understood by economists. In significant respects, the WTO principles allow situations that do not actually constitute dumping-in an economic sense-to be treated as "dumping," leading to the imposition of duties and sanctions. Next, the paper evaluates the degree to which the separate anti-dumping regimes of China and the U.S. …

Trading Away Human Rights, Kaitlin Y. Cordes, Olivier De Schutter
Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Staff Publications
Trade negotiators in Singapore recently failed to finalize a deal on the long-awaited Trans-Pacific Partnership; they will soon have another chance to complete what would be the world’s largest regional free-trade agreement. But, given serious concerns that the TPP will fail to consider important human-rights implications, that is no cause for celebration.
