Trade And The Separation Of Powers, Timothy Meyer, Ganesh Sitaraman
Trade And The Separation Of Powers, Timothy Meyer, Ganesh Sitaraman
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
There are two paradigms through which to view trade law and policy within the American constitutional system. One paradigm sees trade law and policy as quintessentially about domestic economic policy. Institutionally, under the domestic economics paradigm, trade law falls within the province of Congress, which has legion Article I authorities over commercial matters. The second paradigm sees trade law as fundamentally about America’s relationship with foreign countries. Institutionally, under the foreign affairs paradigm, trade law is the province of the President, who speaks for the United States in foreign affairs. While both paradigms have operated throughout American history, the domestic …

Shadow Unilateralism: Enforcing International Trade Law At The Wto, Rachel Brewster
Shadow Unilateralism: Enforcing International Trade Law At The Wto, Rachel Brewster
Faculty Scholarship
This short essay briefly traces the evolution of trade law enforcement from the the GATT to the WTO regime. The WTO's Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU) is widely viewed as a major innovation from the GATT regime in that it subordinates unilateral enforcement of trade law to a rule-based system of multilateral enforcement. I recognize the successes of the WTO regime but the institution effective permits (if not encourages) the unilateral enforcement of trade law outside of the DSU framework Specifically, I examine how the DSU system only provides a prospective remedy - that is, the DSU permits retaliation only for …

At first blush, the subject matter of this paper would seem a particularly anomalous topic for discussion at a conference devoted to the jurisprudence of the U.S. Court of International Trade (“CIT”). After all, among the some four thousand published decisions the CIT has issued since its creation in 1980, relatively few have involved causes of action predicated explicitly on the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”). One might reasonably ask why we should bother devoting an entire panel discussion to an issue that so infrequently commands the CIT’s attention.
The first answer is that all is not as it seems, and …

Sovereignty By Subtraction: The Multilateral Agreement On Investment, Robert Stumberg
Sovereignty By Subtraction: The Multilateral Agreement On Investment, Robert Stumberg
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The proposed Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAl) represents a major step in the evolution of "sovereignty," which includes the power of a nation-state to govern without external controls. A panelist at the 1998 Cornell International Law journal Symposium introduced the MAl as an example of "multilateral sovereignty" to achieve commonly held goals of global economic integration. This perspective posits that the MAl is an exercise in sovereignty by subtraction, aiming to limit governing power rather than promote its joint exercise.
Its critics call the MAl a "slow motion coup d'etat," a "bill of rights for investors," a threat to sovereignty, …
