Enforcement And The Evolution Of Cooperation, George W. Downs
Enforcement And The Evolution Of Cooperation, George W. Downs
Michigan Journal of International Law
The purpose of this article is to broadly characterize the political economy or institutionalist theory of enforcement and to present data that is at least a first step toward evaluating the managerial and transformationalist critiques. The first section will present a short, schematic summary of the role of enforcement as it is currently viewed in the "new institutions" or political economy literature in international relations. While doubtless familiar to many readers, this is an important point of departure. A notable portion of the debate about the role of enforcement continues to stem from differences in terminology and from the fact …

The Role Of Human Rights In Global Securtiy Issues: A Normative And Institutional Critique, Douglas Lee Donoho
The Role Of Human Rights In Global Securtiy Issues: A Normative And Institutional Critique, Douglas Lee Donoho
Michigan Journal of International Law
The purpose of this article is to evaluate the institutional and normative capacity of international human rights to effectively serve such enhanced roles in global peace and security matters. In particular, the analysis focuses on key normative and institutional weaknesses in the existing U.N. human rights system and addresses their implications for the roles which human rights might serve to enhance peace. By describing some of the system's fundamental weaknesses, this analysis also indicates important areas for reform within the U.N. system.
The International Law Of State Responsibility: Revolution Or Evolution?, Pierre-Marie Dupuy
The International Law Of State Responsibility: Revolution Or Evolution?, Pierre-Marie Dupuy
Michigan Journal of International Law
After briefly summarizing the classical doctrine of state responsibility, Part One will discuss whether extending compensation to the harmful consequences of certain hazardous activities necessarily involves the recognition of a "liability for lawful conduct" without any link to traditional ideas of state responsibility. Part Two, starting again from responsibility for wrongful acts, will discuss whether raising a new category, the breach of an "essential obligation" or "international crimes," confers not only an obligation to make reparations, but a right, in both the victim state and the non-victim states, to sanction the responsible state.
Normative Surrender, Jerome B. Elkind
Normative Surrender, Jerome B. Elkind
Michigan Journal of International Law
It is submitted, at the risk of being accused of idealism, that those who most conspicuously don the mantle of realism are also guilty of normative sloppiness, a form of sloppiness which deserves the name "normative surrender" because it concedes large areas of the law to the will and whim of States. This article will examine the phenomenon of normative surrender and provide some examples of it.
Import Restraints And Industrial Performance: The Dilemma Of Protectionism, Walter Adams
Import Restraints And Industrial Performance: The Dilemma Of Protectionism, Walter Adams
Michigan Journal of International Law
It is the thesis of this article that the remedies for the import problem-- quotas, orderly marketing agreements, trigger price systems, and the like-do not provide adequate mechanisms for insuring acceptable industry performance or protecting the public interest. Instead of compelling--or even promoting-the kind of structural and behavioral changes which are imperative if an industry is to overcome its competitive infirmities, these protectionist devices, more often than not, are likely to have precisely the opposite effect, i.e., perpetuate the very infirmities that caused the industry's plight to begin with. In short, an ailing organism is not prepared for the …
An Administrator's Look At Antidumping Duty Laws In United States Trade Policy, Peter D. Ehrenhaft
An Administrator's Look At Antidumping Duty Laws In United States Trade Policy, Peter D. Ehrenhaft
Michigan Journal of International Law
Trade policymakers, like military strategists, are often "fighting the last war." Our present antidumping law was passed in 1921. It was a reaction to trade problems perceived in the years during and after World War I. The related countervailing duty law harks back to an even earlier era. Since their enactment we have tinkered with each. Administration of both statutes has been surrounded by extensive regulations and a body of unwritten practice. But solving the trade problems of today-if that is what we are doing-with this elaborate legal corpus will not necessarily provide us with a sensible guide to the …
