Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

This book review considers two books on international organizations: (1) Margaret P. Karns & Karen A. Mingst, International Organizations: The Politics and Processes of Global Governance, and (2) Dan Sarooshi, International Organizations and Their Exercise of Sovereign Powers.

The review notes several features that set the Karns & Mingst book apart from other treatments of international organizations. First is a thoroughgoing commitment to an integrated view of international organizations. The book insists (and demonstrates) that knowledge of politics, theory, and history are all indispensable to a rich understanding of the problems and processes of global governance. Second, Karns …

Review Of "Nano-Hype: The Truth Behind The Nanotechnology Buzz", Michele L. Mekel

Michele L Mekel

The hype - both positive and negative - surrounding nanotechnology dwarfs its industry and its present panoply of products. No pun is intended by this statement, nor is it meant as a slight to the field. This phenomenon of nanotechnology hype is laid out in clever prose and in well-footnoted detail by David Berube, professor of communication studies in the Department of English at the University of South Carolina, in his book, "Nano-hype: The Truth Behind the Nanotechnology Buzz."

Building The Emotionally Learned Negotiator, Erin Ryan

Erin Ryan

This essay reviews three recent books on the significance of emotion in negotiation and dispute resolution (Fisher & Shapiro: BEYOND REASON: USING EMOTIONS AS YOU NEGOTIATE; Peter Ladd: MEDIATION, CONCILIATION AND EMOTION: A PRACTITIONER’S GUIDE FOR UNDERSTANDING EMOTIONS IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION; and Lacey Smith: GET IT! STREET-SMART NEGOTIATION AT WORK: HOW EMOTIONS GET YOU WHAT YOU WANT), situating each work within a theory of practice for emotionally learned negotiators.

Journal Articles

In volume 1, James Hitchcock provides a comprehensive historical treatment of all the U.S. Supreme Court cases involving the religion clauses. Volume 2 focuses on the broader “context of the continuing dialogue about the role of religion in public life” and its relationship to the Court’s interpretation of the religion clauses.

Book Review, Deborah Challener

Journal Articles

COURTIERS OF THE MARBLE PALACE is a compelling, informative book. As much as anything, it is a tremendous informational source for anyone interested in the Supreme Court. It is evident that the author has thoroughly researched the topic and provided the reader with a factual view of the past and present responsibilities of a Supreme Court law clerk. Because Peppers relies on principal-agent theory to develop his hypotheses and used exhaustive research to prove them, the book also appears to be objective.

Rethinking Interest Representation In The European Union. Review Of Law, Legitimacy And European Governance: Functional Participation In Social Regulation, By Stijn Smismans, Francesca Bignami

GW Law Faculty Publications & Other Works

This article reviews the book, Law, Legitimacy, and European Governance: Functional Participation in Social Regulation, by Stijn Smismans. Law, Legitimacy, and European Governance is part of a movement to reinvent the Economic and Social Committee and the form of interest group politics that originated there—what Smismans calls “functional participation.” Smismans argues that functional participation can contribute to the legitimacy of the Economic and Social Committee and that the constitutional debates concerning the construction of a supranational European polity have largely neglected this European project. The book assesses the full range of European bodies that were originally created to represent economic …
