Pudong: Another Special Economic Zone In China?-An Analysis Of The Special Regulations And Policy For Shanghai's Pudong New Area, Bin Xue Sang
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The Open Door Policy instituted in the late 1970s marked the beginning of economic reform in the People's Republic of China ("China"). Leading these reforms was the establishment of five special economic zones i and the opening of fourteen coastal cities.2 These special economic zones ("SEZs") and coastal cities, located along the east coast of China, serve as "windows" to attract foreign investment and technology.' So far, each of the five SEZs and the fourteen coastal cities has been successful in achieving these goals.

The History Of The Patent Harmonization Treaty: Economic Self-Interest As An Influence, R. Carl Moy
The History Of The Patent Harmonization Treaty: Economic Self-Interest As An Influence, R. Carl Moy
Faculty Scholarship
How shall the United States decide whether to adopt the Patent Harmonization Treaty? What questions shall we ask? Whose answers shall we trust? What sources of information can provide us with the background needed for these inquiries? This article offers a framework in which to ask, and begin to answer, these questions. It focuses on the international community's past efforts to harmonize the law of patents. It asserts not only that history provides context, but also, that the same history yields lessons directly applicable to many of the treaty's basic issues. Section I discusses the immediate history of WIPO's efforts …

Regulatory Competition In Securities Markets: An Approach For Reconciling Japanese And United States Disclosure Philosophies, James D. Cox
Regulatory Competition In Securities Markets: An Approach For Reconciling Japanese And United States Disclosure Philosophies, James D. Cox
UC Law SF International Law Review
U.S. mandatory disclosure requirements are far more demanding in breadth and detail than those of Japan. However, as this Article suggests, a good deal of diversity, and even laxity, can coexist within mutually agreed upon principles for fair competitive regulation. This Article attempts to provide a framework for efficient regulatory competition between the two countries' markets by focusing on "managerial opportunism"!-an expression identifying a wide range of possible concerns that may influence an issuer's choice among markets. The author suggests appropriate measures for disclosure could minimize differences between securities markets, and as a result minimize the role managerial opportunism plays …
Fraud And Insider Trading In American Securities Regulation: Its Scope And Philosophy In A Global Marketplace, Donald C. Langevoort
Fraud And Insider Trading In American Securities Regulation: Its Scope And Philosophy In A Global Marketplace, Donald C. Langevoort
UC Law SF International Law Review
The principal antifraud provision of securities law in the United States is rule lOb-5. Fraud consists of either a material misstatement reasonably calculated to influence the investing public or silence when an independent duty to speak arises because of prior conduct or a pre-existing fiduciary duty. Judicial theories pursuant to this rule such as the "abstain or disclose" theory and the "misappropriation" theory constitute the major part of U.S. insider trading law. The author contends that the two main tests used to determine when rule lOb-5 rule is applicable, the "effects test" and the "conduct test," are too broad and …

Transnational Investment By Institutions, David L. Ratner
UC Law SF International Law Review
In recent years two significant trends have occurred in securities markets-institutionalization and internationalization. This Article discusses the interaction of these two trends. In particular, the Article explores the effect of current regulatory structures on institutional investment in foreign securities markets. Other factors which may inhibit foreign investment such as tax concerns, disclosure requirements, and liquidity concerns are also discussed.
Japanese Business Disclosure And Accounting Requirements, Hideaki Sudo
Japanese Business Disclosure And Accounting Requirements, Hideaki Sudo
UC Law SF International Law Review
The trend toward a global securities market has been hindered by divergent national accounting and auditing standards. The increasing international focus of Japanese business and the diversification of Japanese corporations has highlighted the need for Japanese accounting standards to become more consistent with international standards. The author examines the progress Japan has made since 1986 in harmonizing their accounting and auditing standards with international practices. The author also examines recent revisions to Japanese security reporting regulations which make them more compatible with similar U.S. regulations.
Securities Malfeasance In Japan: The Need For An Independent Organization To Monitor Insider Trading, Price Manipulation, And Loss Compensation, Wataru Horiguchi
Securities Malfeasance In Japan: The Need For An Independent Organization To Monitor Insider Trading, Price Manipulation, And Loss Compensation, Wataru Horiguchi
UC Law SF International Law Review
Illegal and unfair business practices such as insider trading, price manipulation, and loss compensation have plagued the Japanese stock market. Existing Japanese regulations prohibiting insider trading have proven ineffective due to lax enforcement. Laws against price fixing have rarely been enforced because the conditions necessary for the application of these rules are vague and the rules are difficult to apply. Prohibition of loss compensation has been weak because the Ministry of Finance possesses too much discretion and maintains too close a relationship with the securities firms. The author suggests creating an independent committee in Japan much like the SEC in …

Constitutional Development In South Africa And The Role Of The Namibian Constitutional Model, Craig Gross
Constitutional Development In South Africa And The Role Of The Namibian Constitutional Model, Craig Gross
UC Law SF International Law Review
South Africa and Namibia share a similar heritage as ethnically and racially pluralistic societies with a white minority exercising complete political and economic control over a black majority. In 1990, after gaining independence from South Africa, Namibia adopted a progressive, democratic constitution. In South Africa, negotiations are currently underway to end years of white rule and formulate a new constitution extending full political rights to all citizens. This Note examines the salient features of the Namibian Constitution. The Note also discusses the various proposals for a South African Constitution, with particular emphasis on electoral laws and the structure and power …
Extraterritorial Application Of U.S. Antitrust Laws To Other Pacific Countries: Proposed Bilateral Agreements For Resolving International Conflicts Within The Pacific Community, Seung Wha Chang
UC Law SF International Law Review
The basic antitrust statutes of the United States, such as the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, and the Federal Trade Commission Act, all possess some form of extraterritorial jurisdiction. Based upon the "effect doctrine," formulated by Judge Learned Hand in United States v. Aluminum Co. of America, the extraterritorial reach of U.S. courts under these statutes is broad. Applying the liberal standard of the "effects doctrine," federal courts more often than not have found jurisdiction over conduct occurring outside the United States by foreign corporations. This Article analyzes the international conflicts resulting from extraterritorial enforcement of the antitrust laws of …
Scapegoat For The Trade Deficit: Does Eec Antitrust Treatment Of Joint Ventures Place The United States At A Competitive Disadvantage, Dana W. Hayter
Scapegoat For The Trade Deficit: Does Eec Antitrust Treatment Of Joint Ventures Place The United States At A Competitive Disadvantage, Dana W. Hayter
UC Law SF International Law Review
This Note critiques a proposal by Professors Jorde and Teece of the University of California at Berkeley, California, to exempt joint ventures from the United States' antitrust laws. The professors contend that their proposal emulates the EEC exemption procedure under Article 85(3) of the Treaty of Rome, and that the United States must adopt their proposal to compete with the EEC. This Note questions both assertions. The Jorde and Teece proposal would exempt a wide variety of agreements between competitors from civil and criminal liability with a minimum of initial review, without empirical support, and with little subsequent supervision. By …

Subsidiarity And The European Community, George A. Bermann
Subsidiarity And The European Community, George A. Bermann
UC Law SF International Law Review
Subsidiarity has become one of the most puzzling buzzwords behind recent developments in the European Community. At its most fundamental level, it mandates that accomplishment of a legitimate governmental objective should be a responsibility of the lowest level of government capable of effectively addressing the challenge. In the context of the European Community, subsidiarity is a principle of power-sharing between the Community institutions and the Member States. More specifically, it stands for the proposition that Community institutions should exercise the power vested in them by the Community Treaties and legislation only to the extent that the Member States are unable …

Employee Rights In The European Community: A Panorama From The 1974 Social Action Program To The Social Charter Of 1989, Roger J. Goebel
UC Law SF International Law Review
Social policy is one of the most important areas of European Community action. The EEC Treaty specifically mentions social goals and the European Court of Justice recognizes the social as well as economic aims of the unification process. Traditionally, social legislation has been adopted pursuant to article 100 of the EEC Treaty with its generic grant of power to harmonize laws in order to achieve the common market-with article 119 serving as authority for legislation implementing equal pay for men and women. The Social Action Program adopted by the Council of Ministers in 1974 provided much needed political endorsement for …
Going To England: Irish Abortion Law And The European Commnuity, David Cole
Going To England: Irish Abortion Law And The European Commnuity, David Cole
UC Law SF International Law Review
Until recently, Ireland outlawed abortion altogether, subject only to the defense of strict necessity. However, Ireland may now be bringing its abortion policies into line with the more liberal policies of the majority of other European nations, most of which permit abortion. This Article explores the recent changes in Ireland's attitude toward abortion. In particular, this Article examines the interplay of European and domestic Irish forces in the struggle for reproductive rights in Ireland from 1983, the year Ireland adopted a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to life of the unborn, to the present. The author proposes that the impetus …
Chinese Asylum Applications Under U.S. Immigration Policy: Firm Resettlement In Hong Kong, Frannie S. Mok
Chinese Asylum Applications Under U.S. Immigration Policy: Firm Resettlement In Hong Kong, Frannie S. Mok
UC Law SF International Law Review
The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) possesses a wide range of discretionary powers in determining whether to grant political asylum to aliens that enter the United States. One of the factors used in exercising discretion is determining whether an alien has been "firmly resettled" in a third country before applying for asylum in the United States. This Note focuses on the problems with using "firm resettlement" as a discretionary device in denying asylum to Chinese aliens who temporarily stayed in Hong Kong before arriving in the United States. The Note argues that current immigration laws that permit INS officials …

Public Law, Private Actors: The Impact Of Human Rights On Business Investors In China Symposium: Doing Business In China, Diane F. Orentlicher, Timothy A. Gelatt
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
Should companies invest at all in countries, like China, where severe human rights abuses are pervasive? If they do invest, should they restrict their operations to areas of the country that have a comparatively good human rights record? Are there basic principles that transnational companies should observe to ensure, at a minimum, that they do not become complicit in a host government's abrogation of universally-recognized human rights? Should such principles be enforced by Executive or congressional fiat, or should companies take primary responsibility for policing themselves? How can companies that wish to factor human rights considerations into their business decisions …
