Trips And Its Discontents, Peter K. Yu, Peter K. Yu
Trips And Its Discontents, Peter K. Yu, Peter K. Yu
Peter K. Yu
This Article traces the development of the TRIPs Agreement and explores why less developed countries were dissatisfied with the international intellectual property system. It also looks at the future challenges confronting these countries and what they need to do to preserve the goals and intentions behind the TRIPs negotiations. The Article begins by describing the four different narratives used to explain the origins of the TRIPs Agreement. It contends that, while none of these narratives is complete, each of them provides valuable insight into understanding the context in which the Agreement was created. The Article then explores why less developed …

Moving Beyond The Wto: A Proposal To Adjudicate Gmo Disputes In An International Environmental Court, Marguerite A. Hutchinson
San Diego International Law Journal

The third part of this Article analyzes the arguments put forward by both the United States and the E.U., which have defined the conflict between blocs of countries pushing GMOs abroad and those who persistently reject them. The fourth section evaluates the respective regulatory schemes imposed on GMOs by the United States and Europe, domestically and by international treaty. The success of these systems is evaluated in the fifth …
The Rome Statute: Global Justice And The Asymmetries Of Recognition, Hans Lindahl
The Rome Statute: Global Justice And The Asymmetries Of Recognition, Hans Lindahl
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
Given the emergence of challenges that are increasingly global in nature, and given the irreducible contingency of state borders, it would seem that justice must become global justice: justice that takes shape through a legal order that holds for all of humanity and everywhere. But is justice for all and everywhere possible? At issue, in this question, is not a rearguard defense of the state and state law. Instead, the question concerns the globality of global law and global justice. Is any legal order possible, global or otherwise, that organizes itself as an inside without an outside, that is, which …
Dictum On Dicta: Obiter Dicta In Wto Disputes, Henry S. Gao
Dictum On Dicta: Obiter Dicta In Wto Disputes, Henry S. Gao
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
This paper discusses an important legal issue raised by the United States in its recent attempt to block the reappointment of an Appellate Body member. According to the US, in some of his decisions, the member has made overreaching findings that amount to obiter dicta. As obiter dictum is a unique concept in the Common Law system, the US argument may only stand if the concept may be found in the WTO legal system as well. With a careful analysis of the concept of dicta in Common Law and a close examination of the effects of past panel and Appellate …

Does The United States Still Care About Complying With Its Wto Obligations?, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah
Articles
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) contains a provision that on its face appears to be a blatant violation of the WTO’s Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (SCM) rules. New IRC section 250 applies a reduced 13.125% tax rate to “foreign derived intangible income” (FDII), which is defined as income derived in connection with (1) property that is sold by the taxpayer to any foreign person for a foreign use or (2) services to any foreign person or with respect to foreign property. In other words, this category comprises exports for property and services, including royalties from the …
The Globalization Of United States Debt: The Real Impact Of China's Rise As A Creditor State, Michael R. Myers
The Globalization Of United States Debt: The Real Impact Of China's Rise As A Creditor State, Michael R. Myers
Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies
In this Note, I seek to answer a simple question: By owning a large quantity of United States debt, can a foreign country influence United States policies at home or abroad? To answer, I apply scholarship in financial leverage theory to China-the largest foreign holder of U.S. debt. As a result, I find no plausible threat of China using financial leverage against the United States.
Instead, I argue that the true impact of China's rise as a creditor state has been its ability to fundamentally undervalue its currency by investing in the sovereign debt of foreign nations. Such monetary policies …
Data At The Docks: Modernizing International Trade Law For The Digital Economy, Andrew D. Mitchell, Neha Mishra
Data At The Docks: Modernizing International Trade Law For The Digital Economy, Andrew D. Mitchell, Neha Mishra
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has been slow so far in responding to the various challenges arising from the integration of electronic commerce into cross-border trading activities. This slow response in the multilateral system is largely attributable to the complex, multifaceted nature of digital trade or electronic commerce, coupled with the conflict among countries on issues of Internet regulation and digital development. Nonetheless, international trade agreements, particularly at the WTO, play an important role in the creation of a secure, predictable, and trustworthy global regulatory framework for digital trade, and therefore, need to be reformed in a timely and meaningful …
International Order Between Governance And Contract, Harlan G. Cohen
International Order Between Governance And Contract, Harlan G. Cohen
Scholarly Works
What is international law for? Is the goal to achieve cooperation in providing global public goods, such as managing the environment, providing peace and security, alleviating poverty, controlling the spread of diseases, protecting basic human rights, and supplying best-practices and standards on health and labor? Or is it about managing conflict and competition between states and others by setting expectations and channeling disputes between them into agreed-upon fora for peaceful settlement?
These two types of purpose are often treated as complementary, with international institutions like the World Trade Organization (WTO) or United Nations often justified on both counts. But they …

China's Rise, The U.S., And The Wto: Perspectives From International Relations Theory, Jacques Delisle
All Faculty Scholarship
What do China’s dramatic economic rise, engagement with the World Trade Organization (“WTO”) (and other established features of the international economic legal order), and rising assertiveness in external relations tell us about China’s past and likely future relationship to status quo international economic legal institutions and the norms they instantiate? What do these developments indicate about prospects for those institutions and norms? In China’s Rise: How it Took on the U.S. at the WTO, Gregory Shaffer and Henry Gao offer, or point us toward, answers to these questions. They do so on a grander scale than their relatively modest …
