The Emergence Of Hybrid International Commercial Courts And The Future Of Cross Border Commercial Dispute Resolution In Asia, Firew Tiba 2016 Loyola University Chicago, School of Law

The Emergence Of Hybrid International Commercial Courts And The Future Of Cross Border Commercial Dispute Resolution In Asia, Firew Tiba

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

The bulk of international commercial disputes are resolved by national courts. In Asia, regional international arbitration centres in places such as Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo have also been partaking in these exercises albeit at varying levels of popularity. While commercial arbitrations remain popular, the influence of these bodies in driving convergence has been questioned. This has been in part due to the confidential nature of their awards and their ad hoc nature. The uptake of international commercial instruments in the region is growing, but the extent of harmonization of international commercial law remains weak. Even in countries such …

Trump's Foreign Policy: Realist Economic Nationalism, Eric Engle 2016 Loyola University Chicago, School of Law

Trump's Foreign Policy: Realist Economic Nationalism, Eric Engle

Loyola University Chicago International Law Review

This article presents newly-elected President Trump's proposed foreign policies, contextualizing them in the greater picture of U.S. global strategy. It argues that Trump's proposed foreign policies are largely a salutary reaction against repeated neoconservative errors, perpetrated by both Republicans and Democrats. However, like the younger President Bush, Trump pursues a unilateral approach to international relations. Trump's unilateralism risks repeating some of the unilateralist errors of the younger Bush. Moreover, Trump's policies to restrict immigration, raise wages, introduce tariffs, and pursue protectionist policies, if in fact implemented, will prove economically disastrous and will fail to deliver the promised prosperity for ordinary …


Deference To The Executive, Julian Arato 2016 University of Michigan Law School

Deference To The Executive, Julian Arato

Book Chapters

This chapter examines the practice of deference to the executive, by national courts, in the context of interpreting treaties. When faced with an issue of treaty interpretation, to what extent must a national court engage in its own independent analysis, and to what extent ought the court give weight to interpretations advanced by the executive branch? And if deference to the executive is permissible as a matter of international doctrine, what considerations ought to guide the manner of deference, and the determination of how much deference is appropriate? I argue that international law does not formally preclude national judicial deference …


An Assessment Of Recent Trade Law Developments From An Animal Law Perspective: Trade Law As The Sheep In Wolf's Clothing?, Charlotte Blattner 2016 University of Basel

An Assessment Of Recent Trade Law Developments From An Animal Law Perspective: Trade Law As The Sheep In Wolf's Clothing?, Charlotte Blattner

Animal Law Review

Further development within the field of animal law seems to be at an impasse, lost among the potential paths presented by its traditional influences: international treaty law, domestic animal welfare regulations, and trade law. First, classical elements of global animal treaty law are limited to preservationist aspirations, insusceptible to the questions of how animals are treated or how they cope with their environment. Second, animal welfare regulation is understood as a matter confined to national territories. In cross-border dialogue, animal matters have been reduced to allegations of imperialism, which is not conducive to furthering animal interests. Third, animals are regarded …

International Investment Law And The Extractive Industries Sector, Lise Johnson, Jesse Coleman 2016 Columbia Law School, Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment

International Investment Law And The Extractive Industries Sector, Lise Johnson, Jesse Coleman

Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment Staff Publications

Since the 1990s, international investment law has been rapidly evolving, resulting in a complex web of over 3,000 investment treaties. These treaties have been used to challenge a wide range of host state actions and inactions that have allegedly negatively affected foreign investors or investments. Those challenges, in turn, expose host states to potentially significant financial costs, and can restrict the ability of such states to maximize the benefits, and limit the environmental and social harms, that can result from the exploitation of natural resources. This briefing note provides an introduction to international investment law, with a view to assisting …

Forced Migration After Paris Cop21: Evaluating The "Climate Change Displacement Coordination Facility", Phillip Dane Warren 2016 Columbia Law School, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law

Forced Migration After Paris Cop21: Evaluating The "Climate Change Displacement Coordination Facility", Phillip Dane Warren

Sabin Center for Climate Change Law

Climate change represents, perhaps, the greatest challenge of the twenty-first century. As temperatures and sea levels rise, governments around the world will face massive and unprecedented human displacement that international law currently has no mechanism to address. While estimates vary, the scope of the migration crisis that the world will face in the coming decades is startling. In addition to losing their homes, climate change migrants, under current law, will encounter a refugee system governed by a decades-old Refugee Convention that offers neither protection nor the right to resettle in a more habitable place. Armed with the most recent developments …


Delegating Peace Enforcement Missions- But To Whom? What The U.N.'S Recent Recommendation Reveals About Today's Crisis In Legitimate Actors For Robust Peace Operations, Karima Tawfik 2016 University of Michigan Law School

Delegating Peace Enforcement Missions- But To Whom? What The U.N.'S Recent Recommendation Reveals About Today's Crisis In Legitimate Actors For Robust Peace Operations, Karima Tawfik

Michigan Law Review Online

This Essay argues that in assessing whether or not to move towards the U.N. panel’s proposed model that champions regional actors and ad hoc coalitions over the U.N. itself, the international community must weigh the marginal costs and benefits of this plan. This essay follows the U.N. panel’s call for the international community to derive lessons from the past by examining three case studies where regional actors and ad hoc coalitions, rather than the U.N., have embarked on peace enforcement missions. It argues that if the international community chooses to follow the U.N. panel’s recommendation on deferring to regional actors …


Clash Of Cultures: Epistemic Communities, Negotiation Theory, And International Lawmaking, S. I. Strong 2016 University of Missouri School of Law

Clash Of Cultures: Epistemic Communities, Negotiation Theory, And International Lawmaking, S. I. Strong

Faculty Publications

This Article seeks to illuminate a number of truths about the current deliberations at UNCITRAL by applying the concept of epistemic communities to the UNCITRAL negotiation process. This analysis will help various participants, including state delegates, inter-governmental organizations (IGOs), and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), appreciate the dynamics at issue in the treaty deliberations and thereby improve negotiation techniques and outcomes.' In particular, this Article considers how disparities between different epistemic communities involved in the UNCITRAL process could affect the shape and future of the proposed convention and whether the clash of cultures could prove fatal to the development of a new …
