Efficiencies And Merger Review In Canada, The European Community, And The United States, Mark A.A. Warner
Efficiencies And Merger Review In Canada, The European Community, And The United States, Mark A.A. Warner
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article examines economic efficiencies analysis in the merger review processes of Canada, the European Community, and the United States.

This trend has been spurred by the increasing acceptance of efficiency-based economics in competition policy generally and in merger policy particularly. The author, nevertheless, asks whether efficiency-based merger analysis also may create new jurisdictional conflicts among national merger enforcement authorities. For instance, a state concerned with its own domestic competitiveness might emphasize domestic efficiency gains in …

Extraterritorial Application Of Title Vii: The Foreign Compulsion Defense And Principles Of International Comity, Mary C. St. John
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
With an increasing number of United States corporations locating and affiliating overseas and United States citizens seeking employment with multinational corporations, the debate over the extraterritorial application of United States discrimination laws has attracted greater international attention.

The foreign compulsion defense, however, limits the scope of Title VII's application abroad and raises the issue of whether U.S. corporations can claim this defense when foreign …
