Inaction As A State Response To The Coronavirus Outbreak: Unconstitutionality By Omission, Antonios Kouroutakis Jul 2022

Inaction As A State Response To The Coronavirus Outbreak: Unconstitutionality By Omission, Antonios Kouroutakis

Seattle University Law Review Online

The World Health Organization on March 11 declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. While the pandemic was spreading across the globe, governments were under pressure to respond. Still, some countries during the first wave of the pandemic, in their first reaction, did not put in place any emergency regulations. Such reaction, which was a policy option, was an intended omission as lawmakers and policy makers decided not to take action and such emergency omission was a novelty and a paradox in emergency situations. Moreover, I argue that during emergencies governments have a distinct duty to act, and I offer …

Antibiotic Development & Economic, Regulatory And Societal Challenges, Kevin Outterson, Christine Årdal, Manica Balasegaram, Ramanan Laxminarayan, David Mcadams, John Rex, Nithima Sumpradit

Faculty Scholarship

Antibiotic resistance is undoubtedly one of the greatest challenges to global health, and the emergence of resistance has outpaced the development of new antibiotics. However, investments by the pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology companies for research into and development of new antibiotics are diminishing. The public health implications of a drying antibiotic pipeline are recognized by policymakers, regulators and many companies. In this Viewpoint article, seven experts discuss the challenges that are contributing to the decline in antibiotic drug discovery and development, and the national and international initiatives aimed at incentivizing research and the development of new antibiotics to improve the …

Expanding Access To Remedies Through E-Court Initiatives, Amy J. Schmitz Jan 2019

Expanding Access To Remedies Through E-Court Initiatives, Amy J. Schmitz

Faculty Publications

Virtual courthouses, artificial intelligence (AI) for determining cases, and algorithmic analysis for all types of legal issues have captured the interest of judges, lawyers, educators, commentators, business leaders, and policymakers. Technology has become the “fourth party” in dispute resolution through the growing field of online dispute resolution (ODR), which includes the use of a broad spectrum of technologies in negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and other dispute resolution processes. Indeed, ODR shows great promise for expanding access to remedies, or justice. In the United States and abroad, however, ODR has mainly thrived within e-commerce companies like eBay and Alibaba, while most public …

Against Data Exceptionalism, Andrew Keane Woods Apr 2016

Against Data Exceptionalism, Andrew Keane Woods

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

One of the great regulatory challenges of the Internet era—indeed, one of today's most pressing privacy questions—is how to define the limits of government access to personal data stored in the cloud. This is particularly true today because the cloud has gone global, raising a number of questions about the proper reach of one state's authority over cloud-based data. The prevailing response to these questions by scholars, practitioners, and major Internet companies like Google and Facebook has been to argue that data is different. Data is “unterritorial,” they argue, and therefore incompatible with existing territorial notions of jurisdiction. This Article …


An International Legal Framework To Address Antimicrobial Resistance, Kevin Outterson, Steven J. Hoffman, John-Arne Rottingen, Otto Cars, Charles Clift, Fiona Rotberg, Göran Tomson, Anna Zorzet, Zain Rizvi Feb 2016

An International Legal Framework To Address Antimicrobial Resistance, Kevin Outterson, Steven J. Hoffman, John-Arne Rottingen, Otto Cars, Charles Clift, Fiona Rotberg, Göran Tomson, Anna Zorzet, Zain Rizvi

Faculty Scholarship

Antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat to global health. Currently it accounts for approximately 700,000 deaths annually, but is predicted to cause as many as 10,000,000 deaths by 2050 if nothing is done to address it. To effectively deal with this problem three areas must be addressed simultaneously: access, conservation, and innovation. However, solving issues of access, conservation and innovation at the same time requires new coordination and financing mechanisms, some of which must be organized globally. This bulletin outlines the possible role that a binding international legal framework can play in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.

The Who Emf Project: Legitimating The Imaginary Of Global Harmonization Of Emf Safety Standards, David Mercer Jan 2016

The Who Emf Project: Legitimating The Imaginary Of Global Harmonization Of Emf Safety Standards, David Mercer

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

An important topic for studies of STS and globalization are the ways “global” institutions create and attempt to implement health guidelines and safety standards to address risks associated with new technologies. In the following discussion this topic is examined through a case study of the activities of the World Health Organization’s Electric and Magnetic Field Project (WHO EMF Project).


The Neoliberal Governance Of Global Labor Mobility: Migrant Workers And The New Constitutional Moments Of Primitive Accumulation, Hironori Onuki Jan 2016

The Neoliberal Governance Of Global Labor Mobility: Migrant Workers And The New Constitutional Moments Of Primitive Accumulation, Hironori Onuki

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

One feature of the ''age of migration'' in which we live has been an increasing movement of labor from the Global South to the North, mainly in ''low-skill'' and low-wage jobs. This article examines how far and in what ways contemporary capital-driven migration-related policies in labor-receiving and labor-sending states have shaped the subjectivity of transnational migrant workers and their positioning in host societies. It does so through the notion of new constitutional moments of primitive accumulation that designates the production of social spaces for the commodification of labor through the implementation of specific migration policies by labor-receiving states in the …


Review Of "Transcultural Writers And Novels In The Age Of Global Mobility", Michael R. Jacklin Jan 2016

Review Of "Transcultural Writers And Novels In The Age Of Global Mobility", Michael R. Jacklin

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Mobility is a fact of contemporary life. Whether voluntary or forced, experiences of relocation are shaping the lives of millions and, increasingly, literature is turning to matters of transcultural and translingual identity that follow such relocations.


Data Beyond Borders: Mutual Legal Assistance In The Internet Era, Andrew K. Woods Jan 2015

Data Beyond Borders: Mutual Legal Assistance In The Internet Era, Andrew K. Woods

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

The global nature of today’s Internet services presents a unique challenge to international law enforcement cooperation. On a daily basis, law enforcement agents in one country seek access to data that is beyond their jurisdictional reach; as one industry analyst put it, there has been, “an internationalization of evidence.” In order to gain lawful access to data that is subject to another state’s jurisdiction, law enforcement agents must request mutual legal assistance (MLA) from the country that can legally compel the data’s disclosure. But the MLA regime has not been updated to manage the enormous rise of requests for MLA. …


Accounting For Nonconvergence In Global Wool Marketing Before 1939, David Merrett, Simon Ville Jan 2015

Accounting For Nonconvergence In Global Wool Marketing Before 1939, David Merrett, Simon Ville

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

From the mid-nineteenth century, raw wool became a global commodity as new producing countries in the Southern Hemisphere supplied the world's growing textile industries in the North. The selling practices of these big-five exporters - Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina, and Uruguay - ranged from auction through a hybrid of auction and private sale to exclusively private sale. We explore why these countries persisted with different marketing arrangements, contradicting two streams of literature on institutions: isomorphism and the new institutional economics. The article makes several important contributions through blending distinct branches of theory and by focusing on the international …


The Rise Of The Global South, The Imf And The Future Of Law And Development, Gabriel Garcia Jan 2015

The Rise Of The Global South, The Imf And The Future Of Law And Development, Gabriel Garcia

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Following the onset of the Asian Financial Crisis the world has witnessed a re-accommodation of the global financial system. In the particular case of middle-income countries they have disentangled themselves from the conditionality of the IMF and grown into more assertive actors in international forums, proposing new alternative mechanisms to become more financially independent and for the provision of development assistance. This article critically reviews the new reality by assessing the strategies deployed by developing countries to reduce the IMF's influence, and explores the potential consequences of the rise of middle-income nations for Law and Development.


Future Coastal Population Growth And Exposure To Sea-Level Rise And Coastal Flooding – A Global Assessment, Barbara Neumann, Athanasios T. Vafeidis, Juliane Zimmermann, Robert J. Nicholls Jan 2015

Future Coastal Population Growth And Exposure To Sea-Level Rise And Coastal Flooding – A Global Assessment, Barbara Neumann, Athanasios T. Vafeidis, Juliane Zimmermann, Robert J. Nicholls

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Coastal zones are exposed to a range of coastal hazards including sea-level rise with its related effects. At the same time, they are more densely populated than the hinterland and exhibit higher rates of population growth and urbanisation. As this trend is expected to continue into the future, we investigate how coastal populations will be affected by such impacts at global and regional scales by the years 2030 and 2060. Starting frombaseline population estimates for the year 2000, we assess future population change in the low-elevation coastal zone and trends in exposure to 100-year coastal floods based on four different …
