Recent Development: Amenability Of Foreign Corporations To United States Employment Discrimination Laws, Kevin C. Tyra
Recent Development: Amenability Of Foreign Corporations To United States Employment Discrimination Laws, Kevin C. Tyra
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
As the Linskey court noted, the existence of employment exemption provisions in over thirty commercial treaties, if liberally construed, would create a loophole in Title VII enforcement. Given the ever-increasing number of United States employees of foreign-owned corporations, liberal treaty constructions could decrease the scope of Title VII.
Nevertheless, the effect on international commerce must be considered. Although equal employment opportunity is a laudable goal, this goal may conflict with the values of other cultures, as it did with the culturally-based organization and management philosophy of the C. Itoh Co. A more prudent approach to the problem of subsidiaries might …

The Transfer Of Technology To Latin America, Gabriel M. Wilner
The Transfer Of Technology To Latin America, Gabriel M. Wilner
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This paper focuses on the contractual acquisition of foreign technology through licenses and other contractual arrangements as contrasted with the technological components in the usual direct investment. Such investment is made either in the form of the wholly-owned subsidiary of the transnational corporation or as part of a joint venture. The use of technology as a major component of direct investment has been discouraged over the years, although this trend was reversed in Chile after 1977.
Modern legislation and practice in the regulation of technology transfer is characterized in the several Latin American countries possessing such a regime by administrative …
United States Regulations And Acquisitions, Robert J. Radway
United States Regulations And Acquisitions, Robert J. Radway
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Will protectionist sentiment in the United States result in the imposition of barriers ultimately impeding the flow of this foreign technology, or will the realities of reciprocity soften the restrictive legislation in some of the developing countries which are increasingly becoming technology exporters? It is clear that the international economic system becomes increasingly interdependent each year. What is ever more apparent is that trade flows, international capital movements, and the transnational transfer of technology are inextricably interrelated with other issues involved in the Global Dialogue, such as the role of energy in development, (including petroleum and alternate sources), the stabilization …
Antitrust And International Know-How, Joel Davidow
Antitrust And International Know-How, Joel Davidow
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
It has been rumored that some political strategists would like to channel negotiations between developed countries of the North and developing countries of the South toward a trade-off allowing unrestricted access to Northern technology in exchange for decartelized supplies and prices for Southern raw materials. Each side would give away some of its heritage in exchange for improved access to the primary asset of the other. The negotiation shave faltered. In regard to many crucial issues they have never really begun, and in some respects the two sides have moved further apart over time. The classical economist sees no reason …

Unctad's Draft Code Of Conduct On The Transfer Of Technology: A Critique, James W. Skelton, Jr.
Unctad's Draft Code Of Conduct On The Transfer Of Technology: A Critique, James W. Skelton, Jr.
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
UNCTAD's fourteenth plenary meeting on May 6, 1980, produced the latest of several attempts to draft such a code. The document is entitled "Draft International Code of Conduct on the Transfer of Technology" (Draft Code), and this draft will be the primary subject of analysis in this article. The drafters of the code face a number of problems, the least of which is the ultimate determination of the code's legal character and, consequently, its legal effect. This determination and other problem areas confronting the drafters, including the code's special preferences for developing countries, the core chapter on restrictive practices, and …
Technology Transfer As An Issue In North/South Negotiations, Homer O. Blair
Technology Transfer As An Issue In North/South Negotiations, Homer O. Blair
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
For a number of years, negotiations have been taking place on an international scale, usually under the auspices of the United Nations or one of its specialized agencies, on a wide variety of subjects involving technology transfer between the developed countries (the North) and the less developed or developing countries (the South). Three primary groups are involved in the United Nations negotiations. The first is known as the Group of 77, which now includes more than 120 developing countries, including countries in South and Central America, Africa, and Asia. Within this group the degree of development varies from countries such …

Domestic International Sales Corporations (Discs): How They Provide A Tax Incentive For Exports, Garrison R. Cox
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Note examines the logical and empirical validity of the reasons for the passage of the DISC legislation. Basically, the DISC legislation was prompted by the negative trade balance in 1971, a novel phenomenon in post-World War II United States. Providing a tax break on producers' export income was viewed as a way of reducing trade deficits by stimulating exports. On its surface, using "tax expenditures" to reach this goal seems logical, or at least benign. But when one considers that the primary thrust of the legislation was to encourage small producers to enter the export market, the logic of …
