The Spanish Constitution Of 1978: Legislative Competence Of The Autonomous Communities In Civil Law Matters, Juan C. Palau, Jose W. Fernandez
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The Spanish Constitution of 1978 had to deal with the issues that emerged with the advent of a democratic regime following the death of General Francisco Franco in 1975.

Although both conclusions are open to dispute, the major question arises from the court's analysis of the constitutionality of the Coast Guard action. While a firm resolution of the confusion engendered by previous conflicting Fifth Circuit decisions is certainly desirable, the instant court's resolution fails to provide necessary analytical clarity.

International antitrust is one of the gourmet specialties on the menu of United States law. The combination of competition law, international law, and patent law, spiced with complex diplomatic and trade issues as well as a dash of foreign flavor, is irresistible to the connoisseur. The proof: even though few law schools offer a separate course in international antitrust law and few lawyers deal with the subject regularly, articles, hornbooks, …

While few commentators question the international status of the Community in relation to the Member States and those countries with which it has negotiated treaties, the question of whether the Common Market possesses a universally recognizable personality remains open. In determining the international status of the United Nations, the ICJ in the Reparations Case stated that fifty states, "representing the vast majority of the members of the international community, had the power in conformity with international law to bring into being an entity possessing an objective international personality and not only personality recognized by them alone.
