Avanzando En La Integración De América Latina: Elementos Jurídico - Económicos Para La Construcción De Una Propuesta En Materia De Convergencia, Iván A. Rojas V

Iván Rojas V

En un escenario comercial caracterizado por el auge de Acuerdos de Libre Comercio (ALC) en América Latina y el mundo – conocido como Spaghetti Bowl – la búsqueda de alternativas para la reducción de la complejidad jurídica y económica que implica la proliferación de ALC, es en la actualidad uno de los temas relevantes en el contexto académico y político regional.
Existen algunos estudios, iniciativas y propuestas preliminares para abordar el tema de la convergencia en América Latina y el Caribe, como discusiones y aportes teóricos de expertos y entidades locales y regionales que son un insumo fundamental para la …

Does P2p Have A Future? Perspectives From Singapore, Cheng Lim Saw, Winston T. H. Koh

Cheng L Saw

On 16 November 2004, the Singapore Parliament passed the Copyright (Amendment) Act (Act 52 of 2004) to amend the Copyright Act 1987 (the 'Act').1 These amendments, being the most extensive since the Act was last revised in 1999 and passed pursuant to Singapore’s obligations under the IP Chapter of the United States – Singapore Free Trade Agreement ('USSFTA'), came into force in Singapore on 1 January 2005. Not long before this, Parliament had already amended the Act by increasing the term of protection for authors' works to life plus 70 years (up from 50 years) and for sound recordings, cinematograph …

Una América Varias Integraciones: Retos De La Integración Latinoamericana Desde La Fragmentación Y La Convergencia., Iván A. Rojas V

Iván Rojas V

Durante los últimos años la dinámica de la integración mundial se ha trasladado de los procesos multilaterales al auge de los procesos bilaterales. La aparición de numerosas negociaciones traducidas en Tratados de Libre Comercio (TLC), en particular en América Latina y el Caribe con el resto del mundo, han generado un entramado y superposición de TLC y por ende de compromisos jurídico económicos en materia comercial y no comercial (Spaghetti Bowl), que hacen cada vez más compleja las relaciones comerciales, y el papel de los Estados en la administración de los tratados, el respeto de los compromisos internacionales y las …


Foucault And American Foreign Policy During 2001 Bush Era, Kyle S. Herman Feb 2011

Foucault And American Foreign Policy During 2001 Bush Era, Kyle S. Herman

Dr. Kyle S. Herman

In this paper I discuss the theory of power structures written by Michel Foucault in “Docile Bodies: Discipline”1 and relate this to George Bush’s Foreign policy agenda (roughly around 2001) in accordance with the Cheney Report described by Michael Klare in his book “Blood and Oil.”

Don’T’ Know Much About History: Constitutional Text, Practice, And Presidential Power, David A. Schultz Dec 2010

Don’T’ Know Much About History: Constitutional Text, Practice, And Presidential Power, David A. Schultz

David A Schultz

Assertions of presidential supremacy and power in affairs often invoke history, including events during the administration of George Washington, to defend their assertions. This article raises some questions regarding what we can learn from history for constitutional argument. It concedes generally that historical facts can support or buttress constitution argument, but more specifically it contends that acts undertaken by George Washington are problematic assertions for presidential power, especially those that assert “supremacist” or broad if not exclusive claims for presidential foreign policy authority. To do that, this article first describes how history is employed as constitutional argument for presidential power. …


The Ghost In The Global War On Terror: Critical Perspectives And Dangerous Implications For National Security And The Law, Nick J. Sciullo Dec 2010

The Ghost In The Global War On Terror: Critical Perspectives And Dangerous Implications For National Security And The Law, Nick J. Sciullo

Nick J. Sciullo

In this Article, I set out to discuss the dangerous implications of the Global War on Terror (GWOT) and, more generally, the at- tempts of the United States government to address notions of terror- ism and its effect on the safety of the United States and world citizens. I am primarily concerned with engaging a poststructuralist critique of the GWOT to strengthen legal discussions of terrorism and national security policy. While many in the legal academy have focused on particular issues relating to terrorism, I will engage in a macro-level analysis of the way the legal academy conceptualizes terrorism—not how …
