A Free Trade Agreement Between The United States And Mexico: The Right Choice, Jesus Silva, Richard K. Dunn Nov 1999

A Free Trade Agreement Between The United States And Mexico: The Right Choice, Jesus Silva, Richard K. Dunn

San Diego Law Review

In this Article, Messrs. Silva and Dunn demonstrate that the intended Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the United States and Mexico is a natural and necessary step in the two countries' economic relations. Their approach is to trace the steps which have led to the FTA and to analyze the evolution and progression of Mexican economic, legal, and political polices which have reached a point permitting and necessitating a trade pact. An agreement between the two countries is both logical and compelled though it will have permanent consequences and potential obstacles. Nevertheless, the agreement must be implemented and with an …


International Fisheries Management: A Comparative Analysis Of Legal Approaches To Management In The Context Of Polar Fisheries Regimes, Stuart Bruce Kaye Oct 1999

International Fisheries Management: A Comparative Analysis Of Legal Approaches To Management In The Context Of Polar Fisheries Regimes, Stuart Bruce Kaye

PhD Dissertations

This thesis examines the management of marine living resources in international law. The thesis considers the development of the two principal approaches to fisheries management. The first approach is based upon maximising the yield of particular stocks, and is reflected in the content of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. It has evolved out of fisheries management theory developed since the 1950s, and focuses upon extracting the maximum harvest of a particular stock while still permitting that stock's biological regeneration. The second approach uses the precautionary principle, and may include management directed at the entire …

The Emergence Of Integrated Coastal And Ocean Management In Canada's Oceans Act: Challenges Of Integrating Fragmented Resource Sectors In Georges Bank, Nova Scotia And Hecate Strait, British Columbia, Gloria Chao Jan 1999

The Emergence Of Integrated Coastal And Ocean Management In Canada's Oceans Act: Challenges Of Integrating Fragmented Resource Sectors In Georges Bank, Nova Scotia And Hecate Strait, British Columbia, Gloria Chao

LLM Theses

For a good part of the last fifty years, Canadian oceans governance has consisted of single-sectoral and multi-jurisdictional regulation of oceans uses. This fragmented governance régime has proven ill-equipped to address multisectoral resource use conflicts, which necessitate the integration of various interdependent sea use relationships. As early as the 1970s, international fora and documents began developing the notion of integrated coastal and ocean management [hereinafter ICOM] as an approach to international and national oceans governance in order to address sea use conflicts. Canada's adoption of ICOM as a national approach was a slow process. It was only in 1996, with …

Federal Common Law In Admiralty: An Introduction To The Beginning Of An Exchange, Joel K. Goldstein Jan 1999

Federal Common Law In Admiralty: An Introduction To The Beginning Of An Exchange, Joel K. Goldstein

All Faculty Scholarship

Most scholars and practitioners of admiralty law have long relied upon two central assumptions regarding their subject. First, they have understood that uniformity was a requisite of maritime law such that, generally speaking, national, rather than state, law governed most maritime events and transactions. Second, they have believed that in order to preserve the uniformity of maritime law, federal admiralty courts are empowered to fashion federal common law.[1] The commitment to these related propositions has been attested to or illustrated by a collection of Supreme Court decisions.[2] For instance, in Southern Pacific Co. v. Jensen,[3] the case that stands as …
