The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act And Antitrust: A Hollow Promise, Donald E. Dekieffer

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

Even when it has been "successfully" used, the FSIA has not been able to overcome any of the traditional substantive defenses used by foreign companies to insulate themselves from antitrust scrutiny. Foreign compulsion, sovereign immunity, and an act of state remain impregnable bastions to American plaintiffs injured by the effects of offshore conspiracies.

Alcoa Steamship Co. V. M/V Nordic Regent: Narrowing The Scope Of Inquiry In Forum Non Conveniens, R. George Weitz

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Increases in the amount and complexity of international trade and changes in jurisdictional rules over the last thirty years have often resulted in American courts serving as forums for suits involving non-residents. Very often these suits are the result of transactions that have occurred abroad and may be governed by foreign law as well. Obvious difficulties confront a party compelled to defend in a foreign court. Problems such as unfamiliarity with the language or legal process, unavailability of witnesses, or expenses incurred in bringing evidence from another country have led foreign defendants to seek dismissal of suits on the grounds …

Reconciling National Interests In The Regulation Of International Business, Stanley J. Marcuss, Dale P. Butland

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

In an increasingly integrated world where political and economic issues are deeply intertwined, the regulation of international business activity raises complex problems in international law. The existence of the multinational corporation, which is possessed of multiple identities and therefore subject to the jurisdiction of both "home" nations, where it is headquartered, and "host" nations, where its subsidiaries are located, makes the potentiality of jurisdictional disputes among nations particularly acute. While attempts to apply United States law to American foreign subsidiaries virtually ensures conflicts among jurisdictions, excusing subsidiaries from compliance with domestic law could seriously undermine comprehensive regulatory activity. It could …

Trends In International Business Law: Towards A New Ethnocentricity?, Detlev F. Vagts

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Many legal practitioners and academicians who are sensitive to changes within the area of international business law have sighted signals of a trend toward greater ethnocentricity in the United States. Whether such a trend exists is not an issue that can be disposed of categorically, for the signals must be interpreted in light of the institution in question and the sector of economic activity involved. Moreover, an accurate resolution of the issue requires a comparison of the current signals with those of previous periods. Indeed, the post-Smoot-Hawley Tariff era of the late 1930's and the older mercantilist epoch were periods …

The Future Of Free Enterprise: Can It Survive Government Interventionism?, Baron Edmond De Rothschild

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Free enterprise is the indispensable prerequisite for personal freedom, which I dare believe is still highly valued by most people. Hence, it is also the only economic system which is compatible with the democratic governments of Europe and America. However, the vitality of free enterprise is being threatened by government interventionism on both sides of the Atlantic. In Europe, this manifests itself in taxation, nationalization, restrictive policies, subsidization, labor laws, and the growth of the public sector. In America, we find much of the same, excepting nationalization. In order to restore vigor to the weakened private sector, we must return …

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Data concerning the international transfer of technology, particularly in the area of unpatented know-how, are relatively scarce. In this article, Mr. Bleeke and Professor Rahl present the results of one of the first empirical studies conducted in this field. The study, in which signifcant information was gathered from United States corporate licensing attorneys and executives, is focused upon the extent to which territorial and field-of-use restrictions are necessary to facilitate the international transfer of unpatented know-how. The results provide a clearer picturefor both policy makers and practitioners in the field.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act: Problems Of Extraterritorial Application, Shelley O'Neill

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, an amendment to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), criminalizes bribery of foreign officials and requires audit controls and accurate reporting of transactions by United States companies. By enacting the legislation, Congress condemned foreign bribery as distorting trade and investment, undermining public confidence in United States enterprise, and damaging foreign relations. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also opposed corporate bribery as a threat to managerial accountability to shareholders. President Carter, while signing the legislation, emphasized its basic policy considerations.

The Act responded to increasing revelations concerning the widespread practice …

In Search Of An International Solution To Bribery: The Impact Of The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Of 1977 On Corporate Behavior, Steven M. Morgan

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Since enactment, the FCPA has been criticized for its ambiguity, pitfalls, and underlying policy weakness. For instance, a payment of $10,000 to a customs official by X Corporation in order to speed a shipment of perishables through customs would be a legal facilitating payment under the FCPA. Under the same circumstances, however, a $100 payment to a Cabinet minister who has the discretionary power to clear the shipment will subject the X Corporation to a million dollar fine and expose the guilty company officer, director or employee to a jail term of up to five years for violating the FCPA. …
