Regulatory Mismatch In The International Market For Legal Services, Carole Silver Jan 2003

Regulatory Mismatch In The International Market For Legal Services, Carole Silver

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The increasingly international reach of law owes part of its momentum to individual lawyers and law firms that function as carriers of ideas, processes and policies. U.S. lawyers are important participants in this expanding influence of law, both in the public sphere in areas such as human rights and in private areas, such as regulation of business. They work as representatives of both U.S. clients and foreign organizations and governments, bringing their basic mindset, shaped by education and practice experiences, into their dealings with foreign lawyers as they connect in a variety of roles, from co- and opposing counsel, to …


Vietnam’S Antitrust Legislation And Subscription To E-Asean: An End To The Bamboo Firewall Over Internet Regulation, 20 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 631 (2002), Robert Neil Wilkey Jan 2002

Vietnam’S Antitrust Legislation And Subscription To E-Asean: An End To The Bamboo Firewall Over Internet Regulation, 20 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 631 (2002), Robert Neil Wilkey

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

As a result of an unprecedented congestion of its Internet and mobile phone communications, many technocrats in Vietnam trace such problems to government policy driven by security concerns. Therefore, the author in this article analyzes Vietnam's regulatory response to Internet technology. The author first discusses the historical background of Vietnam's management and regulatory policy over the Internet. He argues that the policy is essentially the result of socialist assumptions of the state's dominant role in the country's economic growth. Under its 1997 decree regarding Internet usage, the General Director of the General Postal Bureau has the exclusive authority and primary …

Antitrust In Japan: The Original Intent, Harry First Feb 2000

Antitrust In Japan: The Original Intent, Harry First

Washington International Law Journal

This Article examines the "original intent" of those involved in drafting Japan's Antimonopoly Act, passed in 1947. Japanese sources generally assume this legislation to be pure American invention, a foreign transplant that the Japanese did not understand and that was improperly imposed on a country in which antitrust was, and continues to be, irrelevant. Drawing on original Occupation documents, however, this Article shows that negotiators from Japan's government understood perfectly well what the legislation was about. More than understanding, the government of Japan in fact drafted the statute that was finally enacted, and its provisions reflect the success Japan's negotiators …

Articles

The article examines the international community's use of media intervention in Bosnia following the Dayton Peace Accords, highlighting the establishment of mechanisms to regulate and influence media to prevent ethnic conflict.

Financing Telecommunications Projects In Asia: A Promising Regulatory Perspective, Rachelle B. Chong, Wendy Chow Dec 1999

Financing Telecommunications Projects In Asia: A Promising Regulatory Perspective, Rachelle B. Chong, Wendy Chow

Federal Communications Law Journal

Asia's telecommunications market has long been viewed as lucrative and fast growing. As the benefits of a competitive telecommunications market become apparent, many Asian governments recognize that global corporations require, and in fact demand, state-of-the-art telecommunications infrastructure. After several years of strong growth, however, the severe economic crisis that affected all industry segments in Asia caused investors to pause and reevaluate the risks involved in financing infrastructure projects. Despite the recent Asian economic crisis, the overall picture for Asian telecommunications infrastructure projects remains promising. Asian governments continue to liberalize their regulatory schemes, thus reducing regulatory and political risks to investors. …

Cross-Border Bank Branching Under The Nafta: Public Choice And The Law Of Corporate Groups, Eric J. Gouvin Jan 1999

Cross-Border Bank Branching Under The Nafta: Public Choice And The Law Of Corporate Groups, Eric J. Gouvin

Faculty Scholarship

This Article examines a question left unresolved after the negotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA): whether the banks of the member countries should be permitted to engage in the business of banking in the other member countries simply by branching across national borders. Under present law, the United States permits branching subject to extensive restrictions, while Canada and Mexico permit access to their banking markets only by acquisition or establishment of institutions chartered in their countries. While the NAFTA does not provide for unfettered branching across national borders, article 1403(3) of the NAFTA left the issue of …


The Role Of Market Power In Vertical-Agreement Doctrine: U.S. Antitrust And Ec Competition Law Compared, Jens H. Quellmalz Jan 1999

The Role Of Market Power In Vertical-Agreement Doctrine: U.S. Antitrust And Ec Competition Law Compared, Jens H. Quellmalz

LLM Theses and Essays

This LL.M. thesis provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of the role of market power in vertical-agreement doctrine under United States antitrust law and European Community competition law, tracing the doctrinal development from the Sherman Act's Section 1 and the landmark decision in Continental T.V. v. GTE Sylvania through the adoption of the EC's new single block exemption regulation (Commission Regulation No. 2790/1999). Topics include the rule-of-reason and per se dichotomy, the burden-shifting model developed by U.S. lower courts, the theoretical underpinnings of market power measurement (including the Lerner Index and the structural approach of market definition), and the influence of …

Are Tuna And Dolphins The Same? A Rule Of Reason Approach To Resolve The Trade And Environment Conflict, Anantha K. Paruthipattu Jan 1997

Are Tuna And Dolphins The Same? A Rule Of Reason Approach To Resolve The Trade And Environment Conflict, Anantha K. Paruthipattu

LLM Theses and Essays

Trade and environment are both primary values in an ecologically and economically interdependent world; unleashing trade without regard to environmental impact is as detrimental as guarding the environment at the expense of trade and development. Tuna and dolphins have come to symbolize the policy struggle between trade and environment. In early 1990, the United States banned the import of tuna from Mexico and other countries that were fishing in a manner that damaged dolphins in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean. Mexico challenged this ban before a GATT Panel, which ruled against the United States and held that the tuna ban …

The United States Implementing Legislation Of The Uruguay Round Agreement On Antidumping: Its Problems And Effects On The Bilateral Trade Relation Between The United States And Korea, Changdong Shin Jan 1996

The United States Implementing Legislation Of The Uruguay Round Agreement On Antidumping: Its Problems And Effects On The Bilateral Trade Relation Between The United States And Korea, Changdong Shin

LLM Theses and Essays

Antidumping laws were designed to protect domestic industries from unfair predatory price discrimination from foreign companies, yet these laws are often alleged to be used to protect domestic industries from competition. The U.S. has not been a stranger to these accusations since the 1980s as the U.S.’s trade deficit grew. The Uruguay Round negotiations were aimed at ending this protectionist use of antidumping laws, but many issues were left unsettled by the Uruguay Round antidumping agreement. In particular, interpretation of the agreement is deferred to each country primarily. Thus, the Dispute Settlement Body of the WTO can only determine a …

Regulations On Bid Rigging In Japan, The United States And Europe, Naoaki Okatani Mar 1995

Regulations On Bid Rigging In Japan, The United States And Europe, Naoaki Okatani

Washington International Law Journal

This article provides a comparative perspective on bid rigging in Japan, the United States and Europe. It emphasizes the differences in both institutional structure as well as policy and business culture in the three jurisdictions, particularly in terms of antitrust and criminal law enforcement. It notes the greater tolerance of bid rigging in Japan in the case of construction contracts for public works.


Competition And Trade Policy: Antitrust Enforcement: Do Differences Matter?, John O. Haley Mar 1995

Competition And Trade Policy: Antitrust Enforcement: Do Differences Matter?, John O. Haley

Washington International Law Journal

This article deals with the question of differences in competition policy enforcement regimes in Japan, Europe and the United States. In answer to the question "Do differences matter?", the author concludes that they matter less than conventional wisdom suggests at least in terms of "fairness" and effectiveness. The article challenges the widely held views that Japan's competition rules are ineffectively enforced and that U.S. antitrust enforcement, especially treble damage actions, have had an unfair impact on foreign firms. The article concludes with recommendations for greater cooperation between trade regulation and antitrust enforcement authority in the United States and among competition …

It begins with a historical overview of the fundamental differences between the economies of Japan and the U.S., as well as Japan through the postwar period and the contrasting contexts in which competition laws were enacted in each country. It offers a brief outline of the historical development of Japanese competition law, from the enactment of the Antimonopoly Law through amendments and defining judicial interpretations. The article then focuses on coverage, sanctions, and …
