Microcredit As Model: A Critique Of State/Ngo Relations, Celia R. Taylor

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

This article argues that in an era of globalization, increased cooperation between States and NGOs is essential. While states will continue to dominate, globalization presents problems that go beyond the individual and even collective capacity of States. It uses microcredit, the practice of providing access to capital and other financial services sums of money to traditionally disadvantaged groups pioneered by the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh as a model for productive collaboration between States and NGOs. It assesses the roadblocks to such a collaborative model, and argues that careful attention to incentives and structure can overcome those hurdles and help all …

China’S Cautious Participation In The Un Human Rights Regime, Greg Moore

Human Rights & Human Welfare

A review of China, the United Nations, and Human Rights: The Limits of Compliance, by Ann Kent. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1999. 328pp.

Now We Know About Pinochet, But Where Do We Go From Here?, Gerald Robert Pace

Human Rights & Human Welfare

A review of Chile Under Pinochet: Recovering the Truth. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press (Pennsylvania Studies in Human Rights), 1999. 296pp.

General Augusto Pinochet, who served as military and civil leader of Chile from 1973 until 1990, forged perhaps one of the most authoritarian regimes ever to govern in the Western Hemisphere. Spearheading the violent coup d’état that ousted socialist President Salvador Allende, Pinochet not only achieved power, but also created a personalistic dictatorship bolstered by a military run governmental bureaucracy to secure his rule. And indeed, this combination perpetuated Pinochet’s seventeen-year tenure.

Think Globally, Act Locally: The Role Of State And Local Ballot Initiatives In International Environmental Law, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Ballot initiatives are generally seen as a local phenomenon, and consequently have rarely been examined from an international perspective. Thus, the subcategory of international environmental initiatives is small. However, in the last thirty years, the use of ballot initiatives has increased in the United States. 17 With the expanding globalization of society, more and more ballot initiatives may have an impact on international environmental issues. Some of these international environmental ballot initiatives will pass and may become enforceable laws. Others may be invalidated if they are preempted, either by federal laws or by the federal government's control over the field …
