The World Trade Constitution, John O. Mcginnis, Mark L. Movsesian Dec 2000

The World Trade Constitution, John O. Mcginnis, Mark L. Movsesian

Articles

Conventional wisdom holds that the World Trade Organization (WTO) necessarily poses a threat to sovereignty and representative government within its member nations. Professors McGinnis and Movsesian refute this view. They argue that the WTO can be understood as a constitutive structure that, by reducing the power of protectionist interest groups, can simultaneously promote international trade and domestic democracy. Indeed, in promoting both free trade and accountable government, the WTO reflects many of the insights that inform our own Madisonian Constitution. Professors McGinnis and Movsesian reject recent proposals to grant the WTO regulatory authority, endorsing instead the WTO's limited adjudicative power …


The Protection Of Well-Known Marks In Taiwan: From Case Study To General Theory, Kung-Chung Liu Nov 2000

The Protection Of Well-Known Marks In Taiwan: From Case Study To General Theory, Kung-Chung Liu

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Although the use of trademarks in China can be traced back over one thousand years (Liu's needle shop with the "white rabbit" mark ca. A.D. 960-1126), a statutory regulation of trademarks was not undertaken until very late in the Qing dynasty, and this only happened due to foreign pressure.' In 1904, the British Herd helped draft the "Shang Piao Chu Ts'e Shih Pan Chang Ch'eng," which never took effect.2 In 1923, the government promulgated the Trade Mark Act and in 1927 the "Ch'iian Kuo Chu Ts'e Chii Chu Ts'e T'iao Li."3 In 1930, the "New Trade Mark Act," 4 which …

The Political Economy Of Global Multilateralism, John O. Mcginnis Oct 2000

The Political Economy Of Global Multilateralism, John O. Mcginnis

Articles

Many conservatives (at the least the subset who are classical liberals) approve of global multilateral trade agreements and allied agreements that keep global capital markets open. Conservatives, however, tend to be openly skeptical of other global multilateral agreements, be they environmental accords, human rights conventions, military pacts, or an agreement on an international criminal court. In this paper I offer the beginnings of a framework of sound political economy that justifies these divergent intuitions and shows that they are rooted in more than just a reflexive liking for trade combined with a disdain for the environment, human rights, criminal justice, …

The Role Of The United Nations And Recognition In Sovereignty Determinations: How Australia Breached Its International Obligations In Ratifying The Tmor Gap Treaty, Michael Shane French-Merril Jul 2000

The Role Of The United Nations And Recognition In Sovereignty Determinations: How Australia Breached Its International Obligations In Ratifying The Tmor Gap Treaty, Michael Shane French-Merril

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) decision in the *Case Concerning East Timor*, highlighting the tension between factual sovereignty and legal principles in international law. It argues that the ICJ's dismissal of Portugal's case against Australia due to lack of jurisdiction underscored the limitations of international adjudication in resolving sovereignty disputes. The case raises critical questions about the recognition of sovereignty acquired through force, the role of erga omnes obligations, and the UN's role in territorial disputes.


Television Satellite Broadcasting In Russia After The Financial Crash Of 1998: The Allure And Adversity For Western Companies, Daniel E. Rosen Jul 2000

Television Satellite Broadcasting In Russia After The Financial Crash Of 1998: The Allure And Adversity For Western Companies, Daniel E. Rosen

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the legal and economic challenges faced by Western satellite broadcasters investing in Russia, particularly in light of the current economic crisis. While Russian media laws, such as the Mass Media Law and the Law on Television and Radio Broadcasting, initially created a favorable investment environment, their ambiguities and the government’s broad interpretive powers pose significant risks. The analysis highlights the need for Western companies to carefully weigh the potential benefits of investment against the heightened risks stemming from political, economic, and legal uncertainties.

Democracy, Science, And Free Trade: Risk Regulation On Trial At The World Trade Organization, Robert Howse Jun 2000

Democracy, Science, And Free Trade: Risk Regulation On Trial At The World Trade Organization, Robert Howse

Michigan Law Review

Among the most common critiques of globalization is that it increasingly constrains the ability of democratic communities to make unfettered choices about policies that affect the fundamental welfare of their citizens, including those of health and safety, the environment, and consumer protection. Traditionally, free trade rules were about constraining border measures such as tariffs and quantitative restrictions on imports. Increasingly, however, such rules include requirements and constraints addressed directly to domestic regulation. For example, a country's policies with respect to intellectual property rights or its regulatory approach to network industries, such as telecommunications, may now be fundamentally shaped by rules …

Reconciling Trade And Environment: A Legal Analysis Of European And North American Approaches, Bradly J. Condon Apr 2000

Reconciling Trade And Environment: A Legal Analysis Of European And North American Approaches, Bradly J. Condon

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article examines the differing approaches of the European Union (EU) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in reconciling trade liberalization with environmental protection. While the EU employs a proportionality principle that prioritizes environmental protection over trade in cases of conflict, NAFTA uses a least-trade-restrictive principle to balance these interests. The analysis highlights that both systems reflect distinct political, economic, and legal frameworks but could benefit from learning each other's strengths and addressing their respective weaknesses.


No More "This For That"? The Effect Of The Oecd Convention On Combating Bribery Of Foreign Public Officials In International Business Transactions, Lisa Miller Apr 2000

No More "This For That"? The Effect Of The Oecd Convention On Combating Bribery Of Foreign Public Officials In International Business Transactions, Lisa Miller

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions represents a significant step toward harmonizing international legal standards to criminalize bribery, aiming to create a level playing field for global business. However, the Convention's effectiveness is tempered by potential loopholes and disparities in national implementations, highlighting the need for further refinement to address enforcement gaps and ensure equitable outcomes.


Enhancing Economic Cooperation: A Regional Arbitration Centre For Asean?, Pearlie Koh Apr 2000

Enhancing Economic Cooperation: A Regional Arbitration Centre For Asean?, Pearlie Koh

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

Economic co-operation within ASEAN can be said to have seriously begun only at the beginning of the nineties. Prior to that, it was well known that, ASEAN as a co-operative grouping, had existed mainly with a political and strategic focus. It is with this focus that ASEAN managed to establish and maintain cohesiveness through the years despite the shaky beginnings of what has been described as a 'brittle alliance' borne of a common fear of communism. And it is with this focus that ASEAN, as a regional grouping, has generally been hailed as a success.
