A Comparison Between The Constitutional Protections Against The Imposition Of Involuntary Expatriation And A Taxpayer's Right To Disclaim Citizenship, Terri R. Reicher
A Comparison Between The Constitutional Protections Against The Imposition Of Involuntary Expatriation And A Taxpayer's Right To Disclaim Citizenship, Terri R. Reicher
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Note examines both sides of the coin: the constitutional protections given the individual fighting to retain his citizenship will be compared with the burdens, particularly the tax consequences, imposed on individuals wanting to relinquish citizenship. Section II examines the classic constitutionally-based expatriation material. It discusses the legislative history of expatriation law, including the 1978 amendments to the INA, reviews the major expatriation case law, and concludes with an analysis of Vance v. Terrazas, the most recent Supreme Court pronouncement on the nature of the "voluntary" conduct required to constitute expatriation. Section III deals with the tax aspects of expatriation. …
Anticompetitive Practices In Great Britain: Expanded Enforcement Under The Competition Act 1980, Carol B. Swanson
Anticompetitive Practices In Great Britain: Expanded Enforcement Under The Competition Act 1980, Carol B. Swanson
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The current antitrust laws are scattered among numerous statutory provisions. The British approach to antitrust laws is expressed in separate attacks on restrictive practices as opposed to broad attacks on monopolies and mergers. Restrictive agreements are controlled through a public registration process and reviewed by a specially-created court. Resale price maintenance is banned through similar procedures. Monopolies and mergers are investigated differently, with entire market sectors referred to a commission especially designed to determine whether a monopoly or merger operates against the public interest. This overall statutory structure is both too narrow, and too broad. It is too limited because …

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. Political pluralism, the relationship between church and state, and the official language of the Spanish state were among the dilemmas facing the Constitutional Commission. Yet the historically sensitive issue of the autonomy of the Spanish regions proved to be the most troublesome. Title VIII of the Constitution provides a political compromise in resolution of this issue although scholars and politicians, including some constitutional draftsmen, have criticized the ambiguity of this title. …

Venezuela Revisited: Foreign Investment, Technology, And Related Issues, Robert J. Radway, Franklin T. Hoet-Linares
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
A brief history of foreign investment in Venezuela is necessary to understand recent changes in Venezuelan foreign investment policy. The development of selected industrial sectors, including principally petroleum and mining, but also agriculture, electric power, manufacturing, banking, and insurance, has played a significant role in shaping Venezuelan foreign investment policy. The laws, policies, and their application can then be reviewed in practical terms to provide the practitioner with an understanding of the stated objectives of the host government within the context of Third World movements toward greater control over economic activities.

Recent Decision, Duane A. Wilson
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has taken the instant opportunity to write an essay on the law of search and seizure on the high seas. Applying Ramsey, the majority found authority for the Coast Guard action, either under section 89(a) or through the consent of the Panamanian Government. 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.

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
On June 7, 1981, the State of Israel conducted an aerial attack on the Iraqi nuclear reactor known as Tamuz I located near Baghdad. The attack was carried out by F15 and F16 aircraft supplied by the United States. The reactor was damaged severely and three Iraqi civilians and one French technician were killed. On June 8 Israel announced the attack and described it as an act of legitimate self-defense, claiming Iraq planned to construct nuclear weapons. On the same day the Republic of Iraq requested an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council to consider what it described …

Tax Havens, Charles R. Irish
Tax Havens, Charles R. Irish
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Opinions about tax havens cover a wide spectrum. Some suggest tax havens present an unacceptable face of capitalism and inflict considerable damage on the economies of nonhaven countries. Others argue that havens offer relief from oppressive taxes and other regulations which inhibit the free and efficient flow of capital; and still others hold the view that tax haven status may act as a catalyst for economic development. Obviously, the opinions vary according to whether a person is a tax collector in a non-haven country, a taxpayer engaged in international business activities, or a government policymaker in a haven country.

The Concepts Of Similarity And Indirect Protection Under Eec Treaty Article 95: The Alcohol Cases, Steven R. Swanson
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
One of the purposes of the Common Market is to create a single economic unit in which the sector that produces a particular good most efficiently will do so while driving out less efficient industries. This maximizes the use of scarce monetary, raw material, and labor resources. For example, assuming that there are no trade barriers, if the Italians can produce grapes more cheaply than the Germans, they will do so and export the grapes to Germany. Conversely, Germany may be able to export cars if it can produce them more efficiently and cheaply than the other Common Market states. …

Because the standards in the new Export Act are similar to those in the Webb Act, the precedents under the Webb Act will remain important for interpreting the new legislation. Furthermore, a review of the Webb Act and of the alternatives proposed over the years gives an insight into the reasoning behind having an export exception to the antitrust laws...

Draft International Anticounterfeiting Code: Neo-Realism As A Vehicle For Analyzing The Effect Of Nonsignatories' Perceptions On The Development Of An Anticounterfeiting Norm, Shari D. Olenick
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
NOTE -
The United States, the European Common Market (EEC), Canada, and Japan are currently considering a draft convention entitled "Agreement on Measures to Discourage the Importation of Counterfeit Goods' (hereinafter referred to as the Anticounterfeiting Code or Code) which is designed to minimize the international problem posed by counterfeit merchandise. This Note highlights the international legal significance of the counterfeiting problem. Previous attempts to confront the problem provide the backdrop for a tripartite analysis which treats the following issues in the proposed Code: workability questions evident from an initial examination of the Code; the Code as a norm-creating vehicle; …

Updating The Antitrust Guide On International Operations, Eleanor M. Fox
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Since the enactment of the antitrust laws, policy makers, scholars, and business executives have debated whether the United States antitrust laws chill export and investment abroad. The terms of the debate have not changed significantly for more than a decade. The law and the government's enforcement policies, however, have changed. Since the United States Department of Justice issued its Guide on Antitrust and International Operations (Guide) on January 26, 1977, law and enforcement policy have become more hospitable to private business decisions that would increase exports and foreign investment.
This Article attempts to update the Guide. It is confined largely …

Recent Development: Procedure--Right To A Jury Trial In Actions Against Corporations Owned By Foreign Governments, William A. Zan Blue
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Three federal circuit courts of appeals recently have held that United States citizens are not entitled to a jury trial in an action against a commercial corporation owned by a foreign government. The Second, Third, and Fourth Circuit Courts of Appeals agree that the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), the sole basis for federal subject matter jurisdiction, provides only for nonjury trials in legal actions against commercial corporations owned by a foreign government. These courts also agree that this statutory denial of a jury trial does not abridge a citizen's seventh amendment right. These decisions are important because of the …

Those who have commented on the Webb-Pomerene Act can be divided into two groups: (1) those who support the Act and would retain it or even expand its scope; and (2) those who oppose the Act and would repeal or weaken it. The first group believes that application of the antitrust laws to the foreign activities of United States companies impairs their ability to compete in the world market. The second group rejects this contention and considers the Webb-Pomerene Act to be unjustifiably inconsistent with the legal framework of free competition...

With the advent of Project Capstone in 1980, the United States Army adopted a master European war plan which committed virtually every Army National Guard and Army Reserve unit to a large-scale field army for use in the European Theater of Operations. The plan was designed to combat a hypothetical offensive by tank-heavy Warsaw Pact forces through the centuries-old Fulda Gap invasion route in the central region of the Federal Republic of Germany, or through the relatively vulnerable North German Plain.
Actions by Warsaw Pact troops in Poland and Afghanistan increase the likelihood that United States contingency war planning will …

This Article explores the underlying propositions that the United States antitrust agencies have created a barrier to the export of United States industrial goods or have impeded their domestic manufacture with respect to this nation's major trading partners. We conclude that neither proposition is well supported by solid evidence, although improved cooperation among Government and business and a less litigious climate are desirable in this area as well as all other industry-government relations." This Article first considers the impact of antitrust enforcement on the export or overseas distribution stage of United States domestic producers and then turns to the effect …
