Patriotism For Profit And Persuasion: The Trademark, Free Speech, And Governance Problems With Protection Of Governmental Marks In The United States, Malla Pollack
Malla Pollack
“Governmental marks” are words or phrases which involve the identity of a social group that is partly defined in terms of its citizenship in a government-institution. The power to name a social group (especially one from which exit is difficult) confers enormous power over the group’s members. Legally classifying such words as trademarks commodifies them, increasing the namer’s power: both by giving the word monetary value and by providing the mark-holder with the legal right to prevent others from manipulating the word’s meaning.
Destination marketing employing governmental marks has become ubiquitous. The municipal governments of both New York City and …
The Law And Policy Of Online Privacy: Regulation, Self-Regulation Or Co-Regulation?, Dennis D. Hirsch
The Law And Policy Of Online Privacy: Regulation, Self-Regulation Or Co-Regulation?, Dennis D. Hirsch
Dennis D Hirsch
The Internet poses grave new threats to information privacy. Search engines collect and store our search queries; Web sites track our online activity and then sell this information to others; and Internet Search Providers read the very packets of information through which we interact with the Internet. Yet the debate over how best to address this problem has ground to a halt, stuck between those who call for a vigorous legislative response and those who advocate for market solutions and self-regulation. In 1995, the European Union member states began to build a third approach into their data protection laws, one …
How Regulatory Frameworks Fight Cancer: Two Examples From The United States And The European Union, Louise G. Trubek, Thomas R. Oliver, Chih-Ming Liang, Matt Mokrohisky, Toby Campbell
How Regulatory Frameworks Fight Cancer: Two Examples From The United States And The European Union, Louise G. Trubek, Thomas R. Oliver, Chih-Ming Liang, Matt Mokrohisky, Toby Campbell
Louise G Trubek
Integrated networks of doctors, patients, and hospitals are a major technique of cancer governance. They enable stakeholders to pool information and resources and achieve systematic learning. Two groups, the childhood cancer group in the US and the Europe Against Cancer initiative, are examples of network governance. Both demonstrate learning processes, production of new data and dissemination, financial support and engagement of all stakeholders. Why have these integrated networks been successful while so many others have failed? Because both are embedded within regulatory frameworks that ensure that networks work properly. Integrated networks are vulnerable when the frameworks fail to provide the …

John H. Farrar
The global financial crisis has presented many regulatory challenges as jurisdictions struggle to effectively address systemic risk. This article, which constituted a plenary address at the Corporate Law Teachers Association Conference, 2010, traverses the range of regulatory measures that have been implemented in the corporate governance and prudential risk management fields with a focus upon developments in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Participatory Rural Appraisal, Ganesh Chandra
Participatory Rural Appraisal, Ganesh Chandra
Ganesh Chandra
Participation, empowerment and inclusion have become the new development buzzword. There has been a range of interpretations of the meaning of participation in development. Participatory development starts from the premise that it is important to identify and build upon strengths already present in communities. Perhaps the most widespread appearance of participation in mainstream development has been seen in the form of participatory methodologies of research, intended to gather a wide range of information from local people at their livelihoods, needs, and strengths, at the same time as 'empowering' them through a process of collaborative analysis and learning. PRA is a …
Financial Crisis Containment And Its Implications For Institutional And Legal Reform, Seraina N. Gruenewald
Financial Crisis Containment And Its Implications For Institutional And Legal Reform, Seraina N. Gruenewald
Seraina N. Gruenewald
This article analyzes financial crisis containment from a governance perspective. It depicts containment decision making by governments as a complex technical process of different stages. Deviating from the existing well-worn paradigms, the article argues that efficient crisis containment requires a clear allocation of responsibilities with explicit objectives and powers, proper channels of accountability and more transparency. It models a governance framework, the core of which is a crisis containment council. Shared responsibility and accountability on the part of the council members as they seek crisis containment would incentivize them to collaboratively decide on containment policies that correspond to the greatest …
In Defence Of Transnational Domestic Labor Regulation, David J. Doorey
In Defence Of Transnational Domestic Labor Regulation, David J. Doorey
David J. Doorey
“Transnational domestic labor regulation” (TDLR) is unilateral regulation introduced by a national government that is designed to influence labor practices in foreign jurisdictions. Many governments already use a variety of measures to try and influence foreign labor practices. TDLR has the potential to empower foreign workers and influence the balance of power in foreign industrial relations system in ways that might lead to improvements in labor conditions over time. Particularly interesting is the potential for TDLR to harness or steer the many private sources of labor practice governance already active in shaping labor conditions within global supply chains. However, whether …
Accountability In The Generation Of Governance Indicators, Nikhil K. Dutta
Accountability In The Generation Of Governance Indicators, Nikhil K. Dutta
Nikhil K. Dutta
Governance indicators are finding broader use in investment and aid, making them subject to the same accountability concerns that have been raised with respect to other forms of global administration. This paper suggests two hypotheses for how accountability levels in the generation of governance indicators are set: a Demand Hypothesis, under which demands for accountability by indicator users and targets should be proportional to the stakes riding on indicators, and a Supply Hypothesis, wherein indicators compete for users by providing heightened transparency and reason-giving. While flaws in both Hypotheses are found, the Supply Hypothesis ultimately has more explanatory power – …
