Ozymandias As Community Project: Managerial/Corporate Social Responsibility And The Failure Of Transparency, Claire Moore Dickerson

Claire Moore Dickerson

Transparency is ineffectual as a contraint when the relevant society accepts what it sees. Far from encouraging compliance with international norms, national governments reflect a short-term perception of national interest.

Responding To Terrorism: How Must A Democracy Do It? A Comparison Of Israeli And American Law, Jonathan Grebinar

This Comment compares the Israeli and American laws that sanction controversial responses to terrorism.

It thus affirmed that Quebec could not secede without the agreement of at least the Houses of the federal Parliament and some number of provincial legislative assemblies. Prime Minister Chretien declared the next day that the judgement was a "victory for all …
