Securing The Peace Dividend In The Middle East: Amending Gatt Article Xxiv To Allow Sectoral Preferences In Free Trade Areas, David R. Karasik Jan 1997

Securing The Peace Dividend In The Middle East: Amending Gatt Article Xxiv To Allow Sectoral Preferences In Free Trade Areas, David R. Karasik

Michigan Journal of International Law

How should Middle East nations structure their future economic relationships to secure their peaceful reconciliation while simultaneously fulfilling their WTO obligations? This note suggests two solutions to this quandary. First, the newly emerging bloc of peace-declaring nations in the Middle East should consider establishing a regional free trade area. However, instead of reducing the tariffs of "substantially all" of the region's products as would normally be required by Article XXIV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 9-the authoritative provision regulating free trade areas-this note argues that a Middle East free trade area should reduce trade barriers only …

The Theory Of The Firm And The Theory Of The International Economic Organization: Toward Comparative Institutional Analysis, Joel P. Trachtman Jan 1997

The Theory Of The Firm And The Theory Of The International Economic Organization: Toward Comparative Institutional Analysis, Joel P. Trachtman

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Debates regarding the competences and governance of interna- tional economic organizations such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the European Union (EU) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFFA) seem to grow more polarized. Academic lawyers, political scientists and economists seem to add little light to these heated debates. The purpose of this paper is to examine the theory of the firm and related transaction cost-based literatures of new institutional economics (NIE),4 law and economics (L&E) and industrial organizations (IO),' and the application of their analytical techniques to the linked problems of competence and governance of international economic organizations …


The Role Of Consensus In Gatt/Wto Decision-Making, Mary E. Footer Jan 1997

The Role Of Consensus In Gatt/Wto Decision-Making, Mary E. Footer

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The most striking aspect of the new World Trade Organization (WTO)' is the extent to which it preserves and consolidates the body of law and practice which has evolved out of the development of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)2 and related instru- ments. Such preservation and consolidation is deliberate as the pre- amble to the Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization (Marrakesh Agreement) makes clear.3 The mechanism chosen for the transition from the GAT-T to the WTO was designed to provide a degree of continuity, stability and thereby predictability in the multilateral trading system. Its occurrence …


"Trade And": Recent Developments In Trade Policy And Scholarship - And Their Surprising Political Implications, Jeffrey L. Dunoff Jan 1997

"Trade And": Recent Developments In Trade Policy And Scholarship - And Their Surprising Political Implications, Jeffrey L. Dunoff

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Lately, I've been thinking about the richly suggestive phrase "trade and." What does it mean? Is it shorthand for new topics on the expanded trade agenda, such as "trade and environment" or "trade and intellectual property"? Does it describe new movements in legal scholarship on trade issues? How is it similar to, or different from, "law and"? Until fairly recently, most scholarship about international trade law fell within a relatively well-defined domain. The substantive focus of this traditional scholarship' typically has been on a series of tradi- tional, core "trade" issues: tariffs, quotas, most-favored-nation treat- ment, nondiscrimination, permissible safeguards and …


Dispute Resolution As A Catalyst For Economic Integration And An Agent For Deepening Integration: Nafta And Mercosur?, Cherie O'Neal Taylor Jan 1997

Dispute Resolution As A Catalyst For Economic Integration And An Agent For Deepening Integration: Nafta And Mercosur?, Cherie O'Neal Taylor

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

An economic integration arrangement between nations cannot exist without the creation of the necessary institutions. Any free trade, customs union or common market agreement1 must have, at a minimum, political institutions and a dispute settlement mechanism. The political institutions are necessary to allow the countries to reach decisions about how to implement the treaty obligations and objec- tives and to oversee that implementation. The dispute settlement mechanism is needed to resolve disputes that may arise over the meaning and application of the agreement's legal obligations and objectives. A dispute settlement mechanism is crucial to the viability of an economic integration …


From Diplomacy To Law: The Juridicization Of International Trade Relations, Arie Reich Jan 1997

From Diplomacy To Law: The Juridicization Of International Trade Relations, Arie Reich

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This article deals with the development of law; i.e., the evolution of a legal regime in a field which prior thereto was not subject to law. It is my view that such a process took place in recent decades in the area of trade relations between sovereign nations. The period since World War II, and particularly recent years, is marked by the clear development of a conventional legal regime which regulates trade re- lations among the majority of countries of the world, as expressed by the multiplication of legal norms and the strengthening of the binding nature of these norms …


Trade Protection In The New Millennium: The Ascendancy Of Antidumping Measures, Christopher F. Corr Jan 1997

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This article will first examine why the antidumping law will become the weapon of choice for import protection in the new millennium. It then will provide an overview of the antidumping regulatory regime, and the controversy it has engendered. Finally this article will discuss the compli- ance measures that global exporters should consider in order to avoid anti- dumping liability in the future.


Assessing Apec's Role In Economic Integration In The Asia-Pacific Region, Merit E. Janow Jan 1997

Assessing Apec's Role In Economic Integration In The Asia-Pacific Region, Merit E. Janow

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

This article examines the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum as a new institution to promote economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region. APEC does not lend itself to straightfor- ward definition. Formed only recently in 1989, APEC is currently comprised of 18 member "economies"1 and is organized around a set of intergovernmental meetings. Its very nomenclature, APEC, lacks a descriptive noun.2


Direct Effect Of International Economic Law In The United States And The European Union, Ronald A. Brand Jan 1997

Direct Effect Of International Economic Law In The United States And The European Union, Ronald A. Brand

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

One of the most difficult problems in the study of international law is determining when a rule of law applies to a given situation. This problem has two dimensions: (1) determining what the rule of law is and (2) determining when and how it is applied. The first di- mension, though complex, is the subject of Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice,' and the starting point for most dis- cussions of international law.2 Though it may be difficult to establish the existence of a rule of international law, particularly in the absence of a treaty, …


Gunboat Diplomacy In The Northwest Atlantic: The 1995 Canada-Eu Fishing Dispute And The United Nations Agreement On Straddling And High Migratory Fish Stocks, Derrick M. Kedziora Jan 1997

Gunboat Diplomacy In The Northwest Atlantic: The 1995 Canada-Eu Fishing Dispute And The United Nations Agreement On Straddling And High Migratory Fish Stocks, Derrick M. Kedziora

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

In March 1995, Canadian gunboats seized and impounded a Spanish fishing trawler and cut the nets of another Spanish boat for alleged violations of international quotas and regulations governing the fishing of Greenland Halibut in the international waters of the North Atlantic.1 Spain and the European Union (EU) responded by alleging that the Canadians violated international law and committed an act of piracy by seizing a foreign ship in international waters.2 The EU threatened to impose economic sanctions against Canada, and the Spanish government responded by sending its own gunboats into the North Atlantic.3 The stage was set for a …

Foundation-Building For Western Hemispheric Integration, Frederick M. Abbott Jan 1997

Foundation-Building For Western Hemispheric Integration, Frederick M. Abbott

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

The United States is embarked upon an ambitious program of western hemispheric economic integration about which its domestic body politic is decidedly ambivalent. The process in which the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was approved in 1993 re- vealed deep divisions between the major political parties and their various interest group constituencies concerning the appropriate scope of an economic integration agenda. The Mexican peso crisis that began in December 1994 provoked a deep crisis of confidence regarding Mexico's readiness to participate in a mature economic partnership with the United States and Canada. Subsequent revela- tions relating to corruption infecting …


Networks In International Economic Integration: Fragmented States And The Dilemmas Of Neo-Liberalism, Sol Picciotto Jan 1997

Networks In International Economic Integration: Fragmented States And The Dilemmas Of Neo-Liberalism, Sol Picciotto

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Current discussions of "globalization" afford an opportunity to. reflect on the development of the modern international system and its governance as well as to evaluate prospects and strategies for the fu- ture. However, the term "globalization" is ambiguous. It conceals di- verse and sometimes conflicting trends and strategies; it appears to project a post-Cold War optimism of increasing global unity and pros- pects for a new world order based on a strengthened framework of international institutions. Nonetheless, tendencies towards fragmen- tation exist, in addition to an increasing awareness of diversity and, perhaps, global disorder. Certainly, efforts are being made to …


Trade Policy And Election-Year Politics: The Truth About Title Iii Of The Helms-Burton Act, Leslie R. Goldberg Jan 1997

Trade Policy And Election-Year Politics: The Truth About Title Iii Of The Helms-Burton Act, Leslie R. Goldberg

Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business

Part I of this comment chronicles the historical events leading to the promulgation of the Helms-Burton Act. Part II provides an overview of Ti- tle I of the Helms-Burton Act. Part I then analyzes Title III and de- scribes why Title III will not protect the property rights of U.S. citizens or deter enough foreign business investment in Cuba to expedite the collapse of Castro's regime. Next, Part IV details the it-for-tat legal retaliation that has stemmed from Title I's enactment, and Part V discusses the legality of Title mI's private right of action. Finally, Part VI recommends that Title …

Developing A "Transnational" Law For International Sales: The Vienna Convention's Treatment Of Trade Usages, Ainhoa Veiga-Torregrosa Jan 1997

Developing A "Transnational" Law For International Sales: The Vienna Convention's Treatment Of Trade Usages, Ainhoa Veiga-Torregrosa

LLM Theses and Essays

The 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG or Vienna Convention), conceived for worldwide acceptance, sets forth a uniform set of rules aimed at regulating some of the issues that, in an international sales contract, are likely to arise between the parties to such international transaction. The extent to which the substantive solutions that the Vienna Convention provides with the aim of filling in gaps within international sales contracts, are to achieve the standing of a predictable, global, and uniform legal background for these contracts, is the question to be treated in this paper …


The Dispute Settlement Systems Of Wto And Nafta - Analysis And Comparison, Patrick Specht Jan 1997

The Dispute Settlement Systems Of Wto And Nafta - Analysis And Comparison, Patrick Specht

LLM Theses and Essays

The aim of this thesis is to determine whether the dispute settlement institutions of the WTO and the NAFTA meet the standard, to compare the two systems, and to evaluate them. An issue that should be dealt with first is the question of comparability. Is it possible to compare the WTO and the NAFTA regarding their conflict resolution procedures? Or are they too different because one agreement works on the global level and the other on a regional one? Their institutions and their scope may differ, but they are still conducive to comparison because the underlying structure of these two …

Investment Disputes And Jurisdiction Of The International Center For Settlement Of Investment Disputes (Icsid), Vakhid Yakubjanovitch Saparov Jan 1997

Investment Disputes And Jurisdiction Of The International Center For Settlement Of Investment Disputes (Icsid), Vakhid Yakubjanovitch Saparov

LLM Theses and Essays

This thesis will analyze one of the ways in which disputes arising from developed countries' investment activities in the developing countries are decided. The issues of investment and disputes are of great importance to the developed countries as well as to developing countries. The scope of the issues gives rise to a multitude of questions of national and international law in an interdependent world economy. International investment attracts the close attention of international law because it brings the movement of people and financial resources from one country to another and such movement gives rise to a potential risk for conflict …
