Insource The Shareholding Of Outsourced Employees: A Global Stock Ownership Plan, Robert C. Hockett

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

With the American economy stalled and another federal election campaign season well underway, the “outsourcing” of American jobs is again on the public agenda. Latest figures indicate not only that claims for joblessness benefits are up, but also that the rate of American job-exportation has more than doubled since the last electoral cycle. This year’s political candidates have been quick to take note. In consequence, more than at any time since the early 1990s, continued American participation in the World Trade Organization, in the North American Free Trade Agreement, and in the processes of global economic integration more generally appear …

It-Apas - Vertical Harmonization Of Transfer - Pricing Standards, Richard Thompson Ainsworth

Faculty Scholarship

The World Customs Organization (WCO) and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have begun considering the harmonization of transfer pricing norms among income tax, customs and VAT regimes. Two conferences have been organized in May of 2006 and 2007.

These conferences have concluded so far: (a) that more analysis is needed; (b) that harmonization will require adjustments on all sides; and (c) that pilot projects (real world statutory and administrative efforts to harmonize) or case studies in harmonization (hypothetical fact patterns) are needed to facilitate consideration. This paper assesses the three basic paths being pursued at the present …

Can A State Or A Head Of State Claim The Benefit Of Immunities In Case An International Crime Has Been Committed?, Brigitte Stern

ILSA Journal of International & Comparative Law

I propose to deal with a topic which is at the crossroads of what I see as the main tension in international law today. This is the tension-not to say more-between state sovereignty, on one side, and the protection of the human rights of individuals on the other.

International Trade And Insolvency Law: Is The Uncitral Model Law On Cross-Border Insolvency An Answer For Brazil? (An Economic Analysis Of Its Benefits On International Trade), Locatelli, Fernando

Fernando Locatelli

THE promotion of free international trade and the development of global financial markets have resulted in significant changes to the structure and dynamics of commercial relations in the last three decades. International integration among economies has been a useful tool for achieving economic growth. Consequently, most economies are interdependent, and business has been made among traders located in different jurisdictions.

Investors and enterprises have moved toward new boundaries seeking new markets. Companies have radically changed their structures as a means of maximizing profits. Nowadays multinational companies are a common feature, owning assets and assuming obligations in various countries. As a …

Is Fame All There Is? - Beating Global Monopolists At Their Own Marketing Game, 40 Geo. Wash. Int'l L. Rev. 123 (2008), Doris E. Long

UIC Law Open Access Faculty Scholarship

In the global economy of the twenty-first century, "coca-colanization" has become a painful economic reality for developing nations. With new branding strategies and a legal protection regime that favors the famous marks of global monopolists, local businesses are not only losing market share, they are also losing their ability to compete in a new environment where leveraged marks often have little relevance to the actual value of the products or services for local consumers. To counter these trends, and add rationality to the global trademark regime, developing countries must develop new strategies and a conscious policy that not only values …

The launch of the Indian Journal of International Economic Law by the students at the National Law School of India University is a milestone. It fills an important lacuna in India's study of WTO law and should begin to provide us with informed perspectives on the evolving WTO jurisprudence excessively dominated by the perceptions and objectives of policymakers in powerful developed countries and by the activism of the gigantic, financially-flush NGOs like Friends of the Earth and Oxfam reflecting the viewpoints of their origin and location.
