Playing The Culture Card In Resisting Cross-Jurisdictional Transplants: A Comment On "Legal Processes And National Culture", John D. Jackson Apr 1997

Playing The Culture Card In Resisting Cross-Jurisdictional Transplants: A Comment On "Legal Processes And National Culture", John D. Jackson

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article critiques Oscar Chase's argument that cultural differences between nations, particularly Germany and the United States, pose formidable barriers to transplanting legal procedures from one jurisdiction to another. While acknowledging the importance of culture in shaping legal institutions, the analysis suggests that the influence of national culture on legal processes is more nuanced and less deterministic than Chase implies. It argues that legal systems are capable of change and adaptation, and that globalization and convergence of legal traditions may mitigate the predicted cultural misfit.


The Remoteness That Betrays Desire, Kenneth Anderson Jan 1997

The Remoteness That Betrays Desire, Kenneth Anderson

Book Reviews

This 1997 review in the Times Literary Supplement covered the then, as now, incendiary issue of the nude photography of children and adolescents. It reviewed photobooks by two leading photographers of children in the nude, Jock Sturges and David Hamilton. Sturges, an American, photographed mainly on nude beaches in France and Europe, often following the same families and children for years on end; he had been indicted on child pornography charges in the 1908s, although the jury took only a few minutes to find for him. Hamilton, British, has photographed in France and in various islands. The photography of child …

International Human Rights Standards On Sexual Violence Against Women As They Apply To Pornography, Claudia Giunta Jan 1997

International Human Rights Standards On Sexual Violence Against Women As They Apply To Pornography, Claudia Giunta

LLM Theses and Essays

The United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women was held in Beijing in September 1995, and represented an important step towards the achievement of equality for women. At the Conference, the progress made towards equality was acknowledged, but it was also acknowledged that many goals have not been achieved yet, and that cultural changes of fundamental importance remain to be made. Indeed, in many countries the cultural approach to violence and discrimination against women is quite fatalistic; they believe violence against women cannot be solved by laws. However, this approach overlooks the role played by societies in tolerating practices of …


The Issue Of The Legal Validity Of Using Economic Sanctions To Enforce Human Rights, Thomas Hailu Jan 1997

The Issue Of The Legal Validity Of Using Economic Sanctions To Enforce Human Rights, Thomas Hailu

LLM Theses and Essays

The international legal regime as it pertains to human rights is neither as established nor as definitive as it appears. It suffers from many disadvantages, the first and most important of which is the fact that the international legal regime has never been capable of effectively enforcing its rules or instituting appropriate remedies for its breaches. Some states have attempted to make up for this inability on behalf of international law by undertaking an enforcement mechanism either unilaterally or multilaterally; economic sanctions are often regarded as valuable tools of enforcement to be used against countries which are allegedly engaged in …
