Commodity Indexed Securitization And Infrastructural Change: Turkey's Role In Emerging Economies, Som Dasgupta, Michael B. Brodsky Jan 1993

Commodity Indexed Securitization And Infrastructural Change: Turkey's Role In Emerging Economies, Som Dasgupta, Michael B. Brodsky

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

In view of these issues, this paper proposes an optimal approach to design and regulation of commodity contingent instruments for private enterprises. The design of these instruments is likely to significantly alleviate the capital constraints in emerging markets, particularly in Eurasia. A commodity contingent security usually consists of a combination of a traditional debt security (a bond) and several units of a financial instrument, the payoff of which is in some well-defined way linked to the price of a traded commodity. Although commodity contingent securitization can, in theory, be applied at both the national and the private level, the proposals …


The Utility Of Bilateral Investment Treaties In The Formulation Of Customary International Law, Bernard Kishoiyian Jan 1993

The Utility Of Bilateral Investment Treaties In The Formulation Of Customary International Law, Bernard Kishoiyian

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

In this paper, I propose to investigate the utility of BITs in the formulation of customary international law in the area of state responsibility for the protection of alien property. It is my thesis that the frenetic conclusion of BITs is occasioned by the uncertainty that pervades international investment law since the advent of the developing countries on the international scene, and secondly, that international law has not kept pace with the developments that have taken place in the last thirty years in foreign direct investment. To the extend that this is so, I contend that each BIT is nothing …

On The Elimination Of The Nato Entitlement, Vaughn A. Carney Jan 1993

On The Elimination Of The Nato Entitlement, Vaughn A. Carney

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

For the last twenty years the U.S. has been living on borrowed time and money; we have gotten something for nothing. Now we must confront the painful opposite: nothing for something. A radical shift in our financial commitment to NATO will go a long way toward easing this pain and shoring up the competitive position of the U.S. going forward into the twenty-first century.


Chinese Traditions Inimical To The Patent Law, The Symposium: Doing Business In China, Liwei Wang Jan 1993

Chinese Traditions Inimical To The Patent Law, The Symposium: Doing Business In China, Liwei Wang

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

These phenomena remind us of a common view that China's modernization of science and technology is "burdened by a number of constraints, primarily constraints in traditional culture and in the Marxist-Leninist one-party state." 5 More specifically, in discussing the patent law of the People's Republic of China (PRO), Beaumont claimed that the "two-fold problem in stimulating innovation" is "a residual mistrust of innovation as a result of years of foreign imperialistic colonization," and of "finding ways to encourage and reward innovation which are congruent with Marxist thought."6 This article asserts that China's traditional culture is probably as inimical to patent …


Wysko Investment Company V. Great American Bank: A New Attack On The Usefulness Of Letters Of Credit, Robert Jay Gavigan Jan 1993

Wysko Investment Company V. Great American Bank: A New Attack On The Usefulness Of Letters Of Credit, Robert Jay Gavigan

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The letter of credit has long been accepted as a valuable instrument of assured payment in international business. In Wysko Investment v. Great American Bank, however, an Arizona district court jeopardized the usefulness of the letter of credit transaction by enjoining payment to the beneficiary after the issuing party became insolvent.' This note addresses the issue of whether a bankruptcy court has the power to enjoin payment of a letter of credit issued by the debtor's principal, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 105(a), when the court finds the injunction necessary for the debtor's reorganization. Further, this note examines whether such …


Motor Freight Brokers: A Tale Of Federal Regulatory Pandemonium, Jeffrey S. Kinsler Jan 1993

Motor Freight Brokers: A Tale Of Federal Regulatory Pandemonium, Jeffrey S. Kinsler

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Most brokerage problems are traceable to the troubled history of freight brokers, which has been a constant struggle between regulation and deregulation. Arguably, brokers have been subjected to more extremist regulation than any other industry during the last fifty years. The pattern of extremism began when Congress imposed massive regulations on freight brokers as part of the Motor Carrier Act of 1935. The 1935 regulations completely stifled the U.S. brokerage industry. Forty-five years later, Congress moved to the other regulatory extreme when it passed the Motor Carrier Act of 1980,6 which virtually deregulated the brokerage industry The eased entry controls …
