Amending The Natural Born Citizen Requirement: Globalization As The Impetus And The Obstacle, Sarah P. Herlihy

Chicago-Kent Law Review

With the rise of non-native-born American politicians, the natural born citizen requirement in the United States Constitution has received much publicity. This note examines the history and background of the requirement that our President be born in this country. This note then focuses on how the increase of globalization should compel Americans to pass a constitutional amendment to repeal the natural born citizen requirement and discusses the reasons why many Americans oppose such a constitutional amendment. The note then explores some of the current misconceptions about globalization and concludes that Americans' fears and misconceptions of globalization may very well prevent …

National Identity In A Multicultural Nation: The Challenge Of Immigration Law And Immigrants, Kevin R. Johnson, Bill Ong Hing

Michigan Law Review

Samuel Huntington's provocative new book Who Are We?: The Challenges to National Identity is rich with insights about the negative impacts of globalization and the burgeoning estrangement of people and businesses in the United States from a truly American identity. The daunting question posed by the title of the book is well worth asking. After commencing the new millennium with wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, U.S. military torture of Iraqi prisoners, indefinite detentions of U.S. citizens declared by the President to be "enemy combatants," and a massive domestic "war on terror" that has punished and frightened Arab, Muslim, and other …

Globalization And National Culture: Recent Trends Toward A Liberal Exchange Of Cultural Objects, Kurt G. Siehr

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In discussing trends toward liberal exchange of cultural objects, it must be stressed that the exchange should be a legal exchange. This, however, is not easy to define because legal systems differ with respect to the qualifications of legality of art trade. Since United States v. Schultz, there is less of a disparity between Europe and the United States as to the characterization of illegal excavations as a kind of theft in countries claiming that archaeological finds are state property. Also, with respect to export prohibitions, there is not much disagreement so far: in all countries, foreign export prohibitions are …

Comparative Perspectives On The Office Of Chief Justice, J. Clifford Wallace

Cornell International Law Journal

A comparative study of the duties & activities of Chief Justices indicates that there is considerable variability in the approach of Chief Justices to such things as judicial administration, oversight, & representation. Information was obtained from an informal survey of Chief Justices from 27 countries who were attending a June 2003 Conference of Chief Justices of Asia & the Pacific. Special attention is given to three key aspects of global judicial education: information transmission, training, & peer exchange. The survey responses indicated that Chief Justices encounter similar challenges & share common purposes; however, there are substantial differences in the extent …

Global Criminal Justice: An Idea Whose Time Has Passed, Jeremy Rabkin

Cornell International Law Journal

In this article in the Symposium on Milosevic & Hussein on Trial, the author argues that not only is global justice brain dead as a possible reality, but the concept was always an unreachable dream in a world with no global authority to be held accountable for the world's misery. Explanation of the author's assertions locates the source of the dream in the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), since it was the only truly international tribunal in history. The advantage of local or national justice over issues of moral hazard, challenges to justice, the political responsibility of …

Re-Membering Law In The Internationalizing World, Vivian Grosswald Curran

Hofstra Law Review

This article examines some of the challenges to understanding new, non-national legal configurations as contexts of origin color understandings and evaluations of legal standards allegedly shared across legal communities. It examines a case on assisted suicide, Pretty v. U.K., decided by the European Court of Human Rights. The case illustrates mechanisms of legal integration in the European court, followed by a process of dis-integration that occurred when the decision was reported to the French legal community. The French rendition reflected a legal community's inability to process common law information through civil law cognitive grids. The article addresses both the capacity …

Supporting Sustained Economic Development, Steven Radelet

Michigan Journal of International Law

There is no magic formula for sustained economic development in poor countries. Strategies that succeed in one country may not be appropriate in another. Yet there are several broad similarities across the countries that have been most successful in achieving development over the past forty years. This Article takes a very broad overview of economic development in low-income countries over this period and makes three basic points.

Beyond The Alien Tort Claims Act: Alternative Approaches To Attributing Liability To Corporations For Extraterritorial Abuses, Barnali Choudhury

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

At one time, the only social responsibility of a business was to increase its profits. During this period, businesses prized dictatorships for their ability to provide stable environments and consumers were not concerned with either where or by whom the shoes they wore were made. However, the increase in globalization changed perceptions. Multinational corporations ("MNCs") began to benefit immensely from globalization and those outside of the MNC environment started to realize that an MNC's profit gains brought about a corresponding responsibility to manage any adverse effects of producing those gains . Suddenly, a company's success was measured by factors other …
