Trade And Tensions, Daniel J. Gifford
Articles
International disputes and tensions arise in situations where one nation is seeking its own economic betterment in ways that diminish the economic welfare of other nations. Prior to World War II, most nations deployed systems of tariffs and import quotas in unveiled attempts to protect their domestic in- dustries. Today, trading tensions are often generated by a range of government activities that limit imports or subsidize exports; yet the governments that impose these measures often rationalize them as policy measures that have no protectionist or other trading objective. The earlier trading model was a mer- cantilist one. Economic welfare was …
Challenging Delaware's Desirability As A Haven For Incorporation, Philip S. Garon, Michael A. Stanchfield, John H. Matheson
Challenging Delaware's Desirability As A Haven For Incorporation, Philip S. Garon, Michael A. Stanchfield, John H. Matheson
Articles
Whether a "race to the bottom" or a "race to the top," the competition among many states to encourage businesses to incorporate in their states has wide-ranging consequences for those businesses. Those consequences include the allocation of rights, powers, duties, and liabilities among corporate directors, officers, and shareholders. Despite the tendency to analyze this competition as a multi-state contest, empirical research shows that the "race" is actually a vast number of individual races between just two states at a time: the state in which the would-be corporation's principal office will be located and Delaware. Attorneys and their clients are regularly …

Raz, Authority, And Conceptual Analysis, Brian Bix
Raz, Authority, And Conceptual Analysis, Brian Bix
Articles
In "Authority: Revisiting the Service Conception," Joseph Raz reflects on his work on the nature of authority, defending much of what he has written on the subject, while offering some additional clarifications and modifications. I must leave to others a more direct assessment of Raz's views on authority, and the revisions he has suggested in this most recent paper. I will instead focus on some of the methodological considerations he discusses in this paper; in particular, I will compare and contrast Raz's discussion here about conceptual analysis and the concept of authority with his recent analyses of the conceptual analysis …
Blakely In Minnesota, Two Years Out: Guidelines Sentencing Is Alive And Well, Richard Frase
Blakely In Minnesota, Two Years Out: Guidelines Sentencing Is Alive And Well, Richard Frase
Articles
The Supreme Court's decision in Blakely v. Washington' has produced some changes in sentencing law and practice in Minnesota, but after two years the basic structure of the state's pioneering sentencing guidelines system remains intact. Blakely caused much initial concern and uncertainty, but the dire predictions2 of catastrophic change or major retreat from progressive sentencing policy have not been borne out. This article examines the ways in which critical policy choices made before and after Blakely helped to preserve the most important features of the Guidelines. Part I shows how the design, implementation, and pre-Blakely evolution of the Guidelines served …
