Gattmembership For China?, Donald C. Clarke Jan 1994

Gattmembership For China?, Donald C. Clarke

Seattle University Law Review

This Article will explore some of the conflicts between the premises of the GATT and China's current economic, legal, and political structure, as well as the extent to which China's institutions are moving in a GATT-compatible direction. It will conclude that while GATT membership would in itself promote the reforms that would make China's institutions more compatible with the GATT, such reforms are the object of considerable domestic opposition.

The North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta): Good For Jobs, For The Environment, And For America, Thomas J. Schoenbaum Dec 1993

The North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta): Good For Jobs, For The Environment, And For America, Thomas J. Schoenbaum

Scholarly Works

Although NAFTA's impact is primarily economic, it will also have a profound political impact, especially on relations between Mexico and the United States. In coming to the decision to seek a free trade agreement with the United States, Mexico has already made important political decisions: to jettison its defensive nationalism and fear of United States domination; to reform and liberalize its economic system; and to pave the way for democratizing its political institutions. The United States, in turn, has long sought a solid foundation to overcome its often prickly relationship with its southern neighbor and other Latin American nations. Eliminating …

Trade, Intellectual Property, And The Development Of Central And Eastern Europe: Filling The Gatt Gap, Anne D. Waters Nov 1993

Trade, Intellectual Property, And The Development Of Central And Eastern Europe: Filling The Gatt Gap, Anne D. Waters

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

A major obstacle encountered by the formerly Communist states of Central and Eastern Europe as they convert to market economies is the lack of necessary capital. To raise that capital, these states are largely dependent on foreign investors. Inadequate protection of intellectual property in the formerly Communist states, however, may deter foreign investment. This Note examines Central and Eastern Europe's need for capital and the effect that the quality of intellectual property protection may have on its ability to obtain capital. The Author concludes that, in order for the new economies to survive, not only must the states of Central …

Protection, Not Protectionism: Multilateral Environmental Agreements And The Gatt, Betsy Baker

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Preventing The Theft And Illegal Export Of Art In A Europe Without Borders, Kimberly A. Short Oct 1993

Preventing The Theft And Illegal Export Of Art In A Europe Without Borders, Kimberly A. Short

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The opening of internal borders within the European Community presents tremendous opportunity for European economic growth. Yet with all the potential benefits come many problems. Increased illegal art trafficking is one of these problems. This Note examines European treaties, laws of the individual EC Member States, and Community-wide treaties and regulations designed to prevent the theft and illegal export of art. The Note discusses how the differing interests of the Member States have prevented agreement on legislation to protect art and resulted in measures inadequate to protect Europe's vast art treasures. After analyzing the latest EC regulatory attempt to protect …

A Survey Of Intellectual Property Issues In China-U.S. Trade Negotiations Under The Special 301 Provisions, Qiao Dexi Jul 1993

A Survey Of Intellectual Property Issues In China-U.S. Trade Negotiations Under The Special 301 Provisions, Qiao Dexi

Washington International Law Journal

On January 16, 1992, the United States and China signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) committing China to provide improved protection for U.S. intellectual property rights (PRs) in China. Though the MOU is based on the special 301 provisions of the U.S. Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, it may be regarded as being largely a continuation of the IPRs provisions of a 1979 bilateral trade agreement. This articleanalyzes IPRs under the special 301 provisions, with reference to specific issues of patents, trademarks and copyrights. In conclusion, the following points are emphasized. 1) The MOU will apparently solve intellectual …

Special 301: An Effective Tool Against Thailand's Intellectual Property Violations, Preeti Sinha May 1993

Special 301: An Effective Tool Against Thailand's Intellectual Property Violations, Preeti Sinha

Washington International Law Journal

Special 301 of the 1988 Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act grants the United States Trade Representative the authority to target countries that do not adequately protect intellectual property rights. The USTR has been investigating and negotiating with several countries, including Thailand, in an effort to improve intellectual property protections for American products. As a result, Thailand has instituted noteworthy changes in its copyright and patent laws. This Comment recommends that the USTR continue to negotiate with Thailand, and that the USTR continue to exert pressure on Thailand. This Comment also suggests that because Thailand has taken steps to improve protection …

French & Sec Securities Regulation: The Search For Transparency And Openness In Decisionmaking, Keith D. Nunes, Louis Vogel, Chris X. Linn, Peter C. Kostant May 1993

French & Sec Securities Regulation: The Search For Transparency And Openness In Decisionmaking, Keith D. Nunes, Louis Vogel, Chris X. Linn, Peter C. Kostant

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In this Article, the authors retrace the history and development of France's securities markets. The authors find that the French markets have become dynamic and diverse in the wake of their modernization. In contrast to the passivity of the United States regulatory regime, the authors demonstrate that the role of French regulators is more aggressive and intrusive. The authors also note that, through directives seeking to coordinate the policies of member states, the European Economic Community serves as the world's leading securities regulator. The authors conclude that French securities laws have been successful in improving disclosure and market efficiency. But …

Implications Of The Single European Act On European Community Law-Making: A Modest Step Forward, Barbara C. Potter May 1993

Implications Of The Single European Act On European Community Law-Making: A Modest Step Forward, Barbara C. Potter

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

In this Article, Ms. Campbell Potter discusses the interaction of the European Community (EC) institutions and the effect the Single European Act (SEA) will have on EC law-making. Specifically, the author notes that the SEA provisions for expanded use of the qualified majority vote and the new cooperation procedure for passage of legislation have changed the balance of power among EC institutions and should facilitate enactment of EC legislation. Ms. Campbell Potter believes that the SEA will continue to be successful as long as Member States do not recklessly invoke "vital national interest" veto powers and as long as the …
