Asia's Participation In Global Health Diplomacy And Global Health Governance, David P. Fidler
Asia's Participation In Global Health Diplomacy And Global Health Governance, David P. Fidler
Articles by Maurer Faculty
This article provides a framework for thinking about Asian approaches to and impact on global health diplomacy and governance that might contribute to more sophisticated analyses on Asia in global health politics, diplomacy, and governance. First, the article examines the "rise of Asia" and "rise of health" as overlapping but unconnected developments in international relations. Second, it analyzes how the shift of power and influence towards Asia, largely caused by China's and India's emergence as great powers; affects global health politics and potential Asian contributions to global health diplomacy and governance in the future. Third, the article looks at normative …
Eastphalia Rising: An Enquiry Into The Emergence Of An Asian Perspective On International Law And Global Governance, Sung Won Kim
Eastphalia Rising: An Enquiry Into The Emergence Of An Asian Perspective On International Law And Global Governance, Sung Won Kim
Maurer Theses and Dissertations
Interest in the possible impact of the rise of Asia in world affairs has been growing for a number of years. Asia’s emergence has become one of the most important developments in the post-Cold War international system, and it has drawn attention from scholars and practitioners who study the balance of power in international politics, the process of economic growth and competition, and the acceleration of globalization. Although definitions of what constitutes “Asia” differ, there is little disagreement that the epi-center for the rise of Asia sits in eastern and southeastern Asia, with China as the most prominent nation in …
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Opic, And The Retreat From Transparency, Blake Puckett
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, Opic, And The Retreat From Transparency, Blake Puckett
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
This article argues that the current intersection of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) is turning U.S. investment and aid policy in a direction that neither addresses corruption concerns, nor augments other U.S. foreign policy goals in the Caucasus and Central Asia, and perhaps more globally. The current regulatory system has caused OPIC to structure its investment projects in alternative forms that bypass anti-corruption regulations.W hile these alternatives serve to increase capital in developing economies, the distance they create between OPIC and the end-user fosters a lack of transparency and ultimately corruption. However, …

The Asian Century: Implications For International Law, David P. Fidler
The Asian Century: Implications For International Law, David P. Fidler
Articles by Maurer Faculty
Predictions that the 21st century will be the "Asian century" have sparked analytical interest from many disciplines but not international law. This article focuses on what implications "Asia rising" may have for international law in the 21st century. The article begins by looking at the 19th and 20th centuries as the European and American centuries respectively to assess the impact these centuries made on international law. The article then analyses possible meanings for an Asian century and frames such a century's implications for international law around the concept of a "Concert of Asia". The article argues that, through a "Concert …
Financing Telecommunications Projects In Asia: A Promising Regulatory Perspective, Rachelle B. Chong, Wendy Chow
Financing Telecommunications Projects In Asia: A Promising Regulatory Perspective, Rachelle B. Chong, Wendy Chow
Federal Communications Law Journal
Asia's telecommunications market has long been viewed as lucrative and fast growing. As the benefits of a competitive telecommunications market become apparent, many Asian governments recognize that global corporations require, and in fact demand, state-of-the-art telecommunications infrastructure. After several years of strong growth, however, the severe economic crisis that affected all industry segments in Asia caused investors to pause and reevaluate the risks involved in financing infrastructure projects. Despite the recent Asian economic crisis, the overall picture for Asian telecommunications infrastructure projects remains promising. Asian governments continue to liberalize their regulatory schemes, thus reducing regulatory and political risks to investors. …

Feminism, Globalization And Culture: After Beijing, L. Amede Obiora
Feminism, Globalization And Culture: After Beijing, L. Amede Obiora
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In this article, Professor Obiora begins with the premise that the
credibility of traditional legal frameworks has eroded, because the law
remains unable to relieve the oppressions and polarization between cultures,
even in the wake of global institutional transformations that seem to help the
oppressed, particularly women. Professor Obiora offers the Beijing Platform
for Action as a radical new solution for human rights protection, radical in
that it is one of the first declaratives to transcend the previous dichotomy of
issues among women by expressing a commitment to a global framework in
which to address these issues, particularly the feminization …

Strategic Sisterhood Or Sisters In Solidarity? Questions Of Communitarianism And Citizenship In Asia, Aihwa Ong
Strategic Sisterhood Or Sisters In Solidarity? Questions Of Communitarianism And Citizenship In Asia, Aihwa Ong
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
The Fourth World Conference on Women (Beijing 1995) has spawned a
Triumphant sense among Western/Northern feminists that they are forging a
strategic sisterhood with less privileged women in the South. Feminists from
metropolitan countries seek a new North-South alliance whereby they make
strategic interventions on behalf of third world women by putting pressure on
their governments. Professor Ong critiques strategic sisterhood on the
following grounds:
First, strategic sisterhood is based on individualistic notions of
transnational feminine citizenship, ignoring the historical and cultural
differences between women from the first and third worlds. In particular, the
concept ignores geopolitical inequalities whereby postcolonial …
