The Shipping Act Of 1984: Bringing The United States In Harmony With International Shipping Practices, Martha L. Cecil

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

To place the Shipping Act of 1984 in context, this Comment begins by outlining the development of ocean liner conferences and the economics of liner operations. It then describes the changes in case law that increased foreign carriers' exposure to antitrust liability and caused foreign governments to enact retaliatory blocking statutes in an effort to protect their nationals from the extraterritorial application of United States laws. The major portion of the Comment then analyzes the Shipping Act of 1984 and compares the provisions that are responsive to international shipping practices with those that remain in conflict with generally accepted shipping …

Export Trade Certificates Of Review: Will Efficacy Be Permitted?, John A. Maher, Nancy J. Lamont

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

A vital concept explicit in the Export Trading Company Act (ETCA) and implicit in its Title III is that the time has come for American export cartelism. This is in response to a world in which international trading does not routinely honor the competition principles to which the United States ordinarliy adheres. Despite various successful and unsuccessful attempts, it is not America's job to reform the world. It is foolish to expect American companies to compete in world markets on terms other than those which govern their competitors.

Some Aspects Of United States-Korean Trade Relations, Tae Hee Lee

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

What follows is a general orientation for lawyers to the most pressing problems affecting United States-Korean trade relations. Most of these problems are not traditionally legal in the narrow sense. Instead, they result from major differences in Korean and American economic and political policies, as well as the even greater cultural and economic differences between the two countries.

I have titled what follows an overview - an aerial photograph of the terrain - showing the main features of the geography. These features, however, cannot be presented all at once as in a photograph, but must be presented ad seriatim in …

The Extraterritorial Application Of The Export Administration Act Of 1979, Peter T. Knopf

LLM Theses and Essays

This thesis deals with the major legal issues of the gas pipeline embargo. It is not an abstract treatise on extraterritoriality under international law, but a legal expertise on the legality of the unique measures imposed in 1982. It also tries to point out the legal trends as indicated by the recent publications. The first part of the thesis examines to what extent some European firms were affected by the American embargo. The second part examines whether the President had the authority under the Export Administration Act of 1979 to impose the far-reaching extraterritorial restrictions. It concludes that the President …

Transition From The Domestic International Sales Corporation To The Foreign Sales Corporation: Form Without Substance, Elizabeth A, Horsman

Penn State International Law Review (1982 - 2011)

This Note will first address the Domestic International Sales Corporation (DISC) mechanism for providing incentives to foreign export traders and the benefits enjoyed by DISC users. The discussion will then shift to an examination of criticisms levied against the DISC provisions by domestic and European sources. The next section will outline the Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC) legislation, and the following section will analyze its applicability to General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Council Rulings on the DISC. Finally, this Note will conclude that the FSC provisions will also draw GATT-EC attack as "illegal" trade practices by the United States.

Book Review, I. I. Kavass

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The legal aspects of international contracts for the sale of goods are intrinsically complex. First, the negotiation and performance of international contracts must frequently be conducted at a distance and with the assistance of many intermediaries. The rights and obligations of parties to an international sale are usually more manifold than those of a purely domestic sales transaction, and the effect and scope of these international rights and obligations must be determined by sophisticated mercantile rules which are not present in all legal systems. Second, because an international sales transaction extends beyond the boundaries of one country, it is invariably …

State Trading: Its Nature And International Treatment, Edmond M. Ianni

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

At least six considerations compel a review of the international practice of state trading. First, state trading is practiced widely throughout the world and embraces at least one quarter of world trade. From a domestic perspective, United States trade with state trading countries continues to grow and, therefore, is directly relevant to the United States national interest. Second, increasing international economic interdependence has augmented the role of state trading in international trade by the inducements of economic necessity and efficiency. Third, recent Eastern European trends toward greater private economic autonomy have facilitated trade relations between free market countries and state …

Appellations Of Origin: The Continuing Controversey, Lori E. Simon

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Appellations of origin (appellations d'origine) are geographical denominations that indicate a product's origin, as well as particular distinctive and renowned qualities associated with the location. Because of the singularity of these titles, the disparity in national laws, and the potential for infringement of the rights associated with the names, protection of appeallations of origin continues to be a controversial topic in international trade law. The debate over protection of appellations of origin primarily stems from conflicting national economic interests and divergent fundamental conceptions of the purpose of protecting trade names. It is entangled further by cultural, linguistic, and historical differences …

An Overview Of The Japanese Legal System, Elliott J. Hahn

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Trade between the United States and Japan is growing at such a rapid pace that it is incumbent on those involved in private international law to be well-versed in the Japanese legal system. This Article is inteded to be of service to one weeking an overview of that system. The basic lesson for the reader is that the legal system is that the legal system of Japan differs significantly from that of the United States. This difference arises from disparate views of Americans and Japanese as to the fundamental purpose of a legal system. Upon reflection, it is perhaps not …

United States International Competitiveness And Trade Policies For The 1980s, Dan Quayle

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

A new wave of protectionism is upon us and its undertow, if not the wave itself, constitutes a serious threat to the Western alliance. This "neo-protectionism" differs from familiar past practices relying heavily on higher tariffs; it is more often charactierized by the use of more subtle ploys such as dumping, subsidization, and the erection of difficult marketing requirements for foreign traders.

United States Trade Policy Toward Foreign Commodity Markets: A Critique, John V. Rainbolt

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

New trading instruments and a concommitant increase in volume in United States future markets during the past decade has overshadowed somewhat a parallel market expansion involving foreign commodity exchanges serving an expanded United States and international customer base.

A Method For Analyzing The Effect Of Competition On Restricting Imports, Benjamin I. Cohen

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The President is authorized, pursuant to Section 203 of the Trade Act of 1974, to restrict imports of a commodity when these imports are the principle cause of injury to United States firms producing the same article. In such an "escape clause" proceeding, the President is to take into account, inter alia, "the effect of import relief on consumers... and on competition in the domestic markets for such articles."
