The Globalizing State, Alfred C. Aman Oct 1998

The Globalizing State, Alfred C. Aman

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

he primary purpose of this Article is to consider the relationship of globalization to domestic law, a topic that, for the most part, has been neglected by the legal literature to date. In so doing, this Article shall develop the concept of the globalizing state, a theory of the state based on states' new roles in furthering global competitiveness, as well as the transformative effects of these new roles on the state itself. This Article refers to globalization as an interpretive approach to issues no longer classifiable--or even understandable--in terms of classic dichotomies of domestic and global, public and private, …


Infinity Within The Brackets, Annelise Riles Aug 1998

Infinity Within The Brackets, Annelise Riles

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The ethnographic subjects of this article are UN-sponsored international conferences and their legal documents. Drawing upon fieldwork among Fiji delegates at these conferences, in this article I demonstrate the centrality of matters of form, as distinct from questions of “meaning,” in the negotiation of international agreements. A parallel usage of documents and of mats among Fijian negotiators provides a heuristic device for exploring questions of pattern and scale in the aesthetics of negotiation.


Extraditing Mexican Nationals In The Fight Against International Narcotics Crimes, Joshua S. Spector Jun 1998

Extraditing Mexican Nationals In The Fight Against International Narcotics Crimes, Joshua S. Spector

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In recent years, Mexican narcotics trafficking has become a major threat to the security of the Americas. Mexican narco-traffickers have used their wealth and violence to corrupt political and judicial systems and avoid effective prosecution or penalty in Mexican courts. Historically, Mexico has refused to extradite its nationals in reliance on Mexican law prohibiting the extradition of nationals in all but "exceptional" cases. This Note argues that Mexico should take a step toward controlling the cross-border narcotics trade and recognize international drug trafficking as an "exceptional" crime. Upon recognizing narcotics crimes as "exceptional," Mexico should then begin extraditing Mexican narco-traffickers …

Internationally Guaranteed Constitutive Order: Cyprus And Bosnia As Predicates For A New Nontraditional Actor In The Society Of States, Thomas D. Grant Jan 1998

Internationally Guaranteed Constitutive Order: Cyprus And Bosnia As Predicates For A New Nontraditional Actor In The Society Of States, Thomas D. Grant

Florida State University Journal of Transnational Law & Policy

The purpose of this article is to discuss two state building projects in comparative perspective--one attempted in Cyprus from 1960 to 1963, and another in Bosnia begun in 1995 and still under way. In cooperation with local parties, segments of the international community undertook in both Cyprus and Bosnia to establish constitutive structures that could accommodate mutually antagonistic ethnic groups in a single state and secure a position for the state in international society. Faced with problems similar in several essential aspects, the framers of the Bosnian constitutive structures of 1995, and their forebears in Cyprus in 1960, formulated similar …
