The Criminal Law Of The People's Republic Of China (1997): Real Change Or Rhetoric?, Ian Dobinson Jan 2002

The Criminal Law Of The People's Republic Of China (1997): Real Change Or Rhetoric?, Ian Dobinson

Washington International Law Journal

The 1997 Criminal Law supposedly heralds the beginning of a new era in Chinese jurisprudence and criminal justice. There are doubts, however, over the degree to which the revisions are substantial or symbolic. On the one hand, it can be argued that by making the criminal justice system more rational and predictable, China is moving much closer to the "rule of law" as that term is understood in the West. On the other, it can be argued that the changes are mainly illusory and that, underneath the veneer of rhetoric, China's criminal justice system remains a crude and arbitrary tool …

China's Direct Marketing Ban: A Case Study Of China's Response To Capital-Based Social Networks, Michele A. Wong Jan 2002

China's Direct Marketing Ban: A Case Study Of China's Response To Capital-Based Social Networks, Michele A. Wong

Washington International Law Journal

China's State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued a circular on April 18, 1998 banning all forms of multi-level direct marketing, citing concerns with social stability and economic order. While the direct marketing ban was ultimately implemented in such a way as to allow those who engaged in network marketing to transition to retail sales, alleviating some of the violence of the protest to the ban, opposition to the ban has continued both domestically and abroad. Direct marketing organizations create tight-knit, extensive networks of individuals with similar economic interests. By assembling around a common economic interest, the group may also …

Land Policy And Adat Law In Indonesia's Forests, Kallie Szczepanski Jan 2002

Land Policy And Adat Law In Indonesia's Forests, Kallie Szczepanski

Washington International Law Journal

The Indonesian government's land laws and policies lead to displacement of and hardship for the indigenous peoples of the archipelago. The Basic Agrarian Law, Basic Forestry Law, and Spatial Planning Law all allow for expropriation of indigenous lands formerly governed under the adat legal system. In addition, the central government's policy of transmigration—the shifting of people from the populous Inner Islands of Java, Bali, and Madura to the Outer Islands—only increases the economic and cultural pressure on indigenous peoples of the Outer Islands. The hopelessness and anger that result from the marginalization of traditional adat societies fuel violent ethnic conflicts, …

Japan's Implementation Of The Oecd Anti-Bribery Convention: Weaker And Less Effective Than The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, David L. Heifetz

Washington International Law Journal

In November 1997, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD") adopted the Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions ("OECD Convention").

All member countries signed the OECD Convention and thus were committed to implement it via the passage of domestic legislation by December 31, 1999.

Patent Protection For Pharmaceuticals: A Comparative Study Of The Law In The United States And Canada, Mary Atkinson Jan 2002

Patent Protection For Pharmaceuticals: A Comparative Study Of The Law In The United States And Canada, Mary Atkinson

Washington International Law Journal

A fundamental purpose of patent law is to encourage the development of new inventions by granting to the inventor exclusivity in the marketplace for a limited period of time. Patent law in the area of pharmaceuticals is complicated by the responsibility of governments not only to encourage research and development of new drugs, but also to assure that new drugs are widely available and affordable, as well as safe and effective. Governments, influenced by market and political philosophies, design patent laws and drug regulatory schemes to meet these responsibilities. The United States has a well-developed pharmaceutical industry and private-payer health …
