Rule-Skepticism, "Strategery," And The Limits Of International Law, David Gray Jan 2006

Rule-Skepticism, "Strategery," And The Limits Of International Law, David Gray

Faculty Scholarship

This is a review essay of Eric Posner and Jack Goldsmith's fascinating book, The Limits of International Law. In the essay I provide an exegesis of the core argument of the book, which is that the conduct of states in fields occupied by international law is more powerfully described by game theory than by law talk. In particular, the authors argue that state conduct traditionally described in terms of obedience and violation is actually determined by self-interest modified by the strategic conditions of identifiable games; principally coincidence games, coordination games, coercion games, and iterated prisoner dilemmas. In the essay I …

Getting A Good Buy With A Little Help From A Friend: Turning To The United States To Go Forward With Australian Takeovers Regulation, James Mcconvill Jan 2006

Getting A Good Buy With A Little Help From A Friend: Turning To The United States To Go Forward With Australian Takeovers Regulation, James Mcconvill

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The idea behind this article is to unlock the hidden "genius" of Australian takeovers law. 1 This is to be achieved not by way of legislative reform, but rather by taking a fresh look at the law which already exists, in light of the structure of U.S. takeovers law and innovation in U.S. corporate law scholarship, along with the use of principles and concepts in marketing. It will draw upon the U.S. economic analysis of law and corporate law; more specifically, treating law as a product in a market. Accordingly, this makes it useful to draw upon principles of marketing …

Noncompliance And The International Rule Of Law, Jacob Katz Cogan Jan 2006

Noncompliance And The International Rule Of Law, Jacob Katz Cogan

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

Though it is said that compliance with international law is high, the international system contains few legislative, judicial, or executive processes analogous to those of States, and, consequently, the system's ability to self-correct and self-enforce is much more limited, creating gaps between aspiration and authority, procedures and policy. This Essay contends that noncompliance - particularly operational noncompliance - is a necessary component of less capable legal systems, such as international law. Though compliance, of course, is and should be the norm, those who discount operational noncompliance disregard the tension, which is acute in the international arena, between the necessity in …
