The 1977 Ussr Constitution: A Document Of Social, National And International Consolidation, Andrew Sorokowski
The 1977 Ussr Constitution: A Document Of Social, National And International Consolidation, Andrew Sorokowski
UC Law SF International Law Review
Among the new features of the 1977 Soviet Constitution are provisions that strengthen the role of the Communist Party, redefine the powers of the Union Republics, and announce the foreign policy of the U.S.S.R. The author demonstrates that these principal features represent a consolidation of the U.S.S.R.'s power as a multinational party-state of world stature. Yet, this consolidation is a response to the centrifugal forces of social differentiation, non-Russian nationalism, and foreign Communist dissension, which threaten the ideal of Communist uniformity at home and abroad.

Broach Of Duty: The United States Foreign-Trade Zones Program In Transition, Daniel G. Durbin
UC Law SF International Law Review
The concept of the foreign-trade zone has undergone recent change in the United States. Under the founding legislation, foreign-trade zones were defined as areas where goods could be stored temporarily without being subject to many customs regulations. Today, the potential purposes and activities for which a zone can be utilized have been extended. The federal court decision in Armco Steel Corp. v. Stans, legislative amendments and policy statements by the Foreign Trade Zones Board have contributed substantially to this evolution. Certainly, observers of its early form would have difficulty recognizing the modern foreign-trade zone.

In his note, the author analyzes the usefulness of this decision in the extraterritorial applications of United States penal laws.
