Trade And Inequality: Economic Justice And The Developing World, Frank J. Garcia
Trade And Inequality: Economic Justice And The Developing World, Frank J. Garcia
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Article attempts to lay the foundation for such a framework in the area of international trade law. More specifically, this Article develops the argument that the principle of special and differential treatment, a key element of the developing world's trade agenda, plays a central role in satisfying the moral obligations that wealthier states owe poorer states as a matter of distributive justice.

The Desirability Of Agreeing To Disagree: The Wto, Trips, International Ipr Exhaustion And A Few Other Things, Vincent Chiappetta
Michigan Journal of International Law
This Article proposes a procedural and substantive approach specifically designed to achieve this result.

The Cross-Border Rules represent a somewhat ungainly attempt to placate U.S. investors by bending the Williams Act tender offer rules using exemptions for certain transactions.
