Governability And Accountability In Brazil: Dilemma Of Coalitional Presidentialism, 2013 The University of Texas at El Paso
Governability And Accountability In Brazil: Dilemma Of Coalitional Presidentialism, Taeko Hiroi
Taeko Hiroi
This article seeks to answer an important puzzle in Brazilian politics: What explains the legislative struggles and defeats by a president who holds a large congressional base? In the post-democratization period, most Brazilian presidents have amassed large congressional bases of support by forming governing coalitions comprised of various legislative parties. Conventional wisdom would indicate that large legislative bases would facilitate presidents to pursue their legislative agenda. However, successive presidents have faced legislative obstruction, gridlock, and defeats in Congress. This article shows how Brazil’s political institutions engender the perpetual need for presidents to create multiparty coalitions to navigate through the system …

Attracting Fdi: The Chilean Government's Role Promoting Renewable Energy, 2013 Rutgers University - Newark
Attracting Fdi: The Chilean Government's Role Promoting Renewable Energy, Kyle Herman
Dr. Kyle S. Herman
The development and implementation of renewable energy power plants is important for Chile in order to increase energy security, supply remote mines with electricity, and eventually decrease energy costs. The Chilean government has promoted renewable energy and attracted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to develop large-scale renewable energy projects. However, the policies cannot sufficiently attract FDI in unproven renewable energies such as Concentrated Solar Power, though it is proven elsewhere. This paper examines the Chilean government’s renewable energy policies, related government agencies, and the extent that these provide a stable backdrop for FDI in large-scale renewable energy projects. Following that summary, …

Extraterritorial Criminal Jurisdiction Under The Antitrust Laws, 2013 University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School
Extraterritorial Criminal Jurisdiction Under The Antitrust Laws, Herbert J. Hovenkamp
All Faculty Scholarship
The Ninth Circuit may soon consider whether challenges to antitrust activity that occurs abroad must invariably be addressed under the rule of reason, which will make criminal prosecution difficult or impossible.
When antitrust cases involve foreign conduct, the courts customarily appraise its substantive antitrust significance only after deciding whether the Sherman Act reaches the activity. Nevertheless, "jurisdictional" and "substantive" inquiries are not wholly independent. Both reflect two sound propositions: that Congress did not intend American antitrust law to rule the entire commercial world and that Congress knew that domestic economic circumstances often differ from those abroad where mechanical application of …

Offensive Cyber: Superiority Or Stuck In Legal Hurdles?, 2013 University of Texas at Dallas
Offensive Cyber: Superiority Or Stuck In Legal Hurdles?, Jan Kallberg
Jan Kallberg
In recent years, offensive cyber operations have attracted significant interest from the non-Defense Department academic legal community, prompting numerous articles seeking to create a legal theory for cyber conflicts. Naturally, cyber operations should be used in an ethical way, but the hurdles generated by the legal community are staggering. At a time when the United States has already lost an estimated $4 trillion in intellectual property as a result of foreign cyber espionage, not to mention the loss of military advantage, focusing on what the United States cannot do in cyberspace only hinders efforts to defend the country from future …

Smart Power: What It Is, Why It’S Important, And The Conditions For Its Effective Use, 2013 Wesleyan University
Smart Power: What It Is, Why It’S Important, And The Conditions For Its Effective Use, Giulio M. Gallarotti
Giulio M Gallarotti
The concept of soft power and its corollary smart power have generated great attention, not only in scholarly circles but in policy areas and popular dialogue on issues of power. Few scholarly concepts have made such an impact on the public and policymakers around the globe, especially those in the U.S. Both President Barrack Obama in a speech on foreign policy in the Middle East and North Africa and Hillary Clinton in her confirmation hearing as Secretary of State explicitly used the term in talking about an optimal foreign policy for the U.S. The scholarly attention to the concepts has …
The Discursive Construction Of Japanese Identity And Its Haunting Others, 2013 Florida International University
The Discursive Construction Of Japanese Identity And Its Haunting Others, Yoshiko Yamada
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation examined the formation of Japanese identity politics after World War II. Since World War II, Japan has had to deal with a contradictory image of its national self. On the one hand, as a nation responsible for colonizing fellow Asian countries in the 1930s and 1940s, Japan has struggled with an image/identity as a regional aggressor. On the other hand, having faced the harsh realities of defeat after the war, Japan has seen itself depicted as a victim. By employing the technique of discourse analysis as a way to study identity formation through official foreign policy documents and …

In less than a month, peaceful Tunisian and Egyptian protesters ousted two of the most authoritarian rulers of the Arab world. The human and economic costs: a total of about 1100 people dead (300 in Tunisia and 800 in Egypt) and some decline in economic growth. These were the dignity revolutions. In contrast, the Syrian peaceful uprising quickly turning into armed rebellion is now 22 months old with over 60,000 people (civilians, rebels, security and military officers, women and children) dead, more than 4,000,000 persons displaced from their homes, and destruction estimated at $70 billion. This is now, without doubt, …

Chilean Renewable Energy Investment Potential With Technology Transfer, 2013 Rutgers University - Newark
Chilean Renewable Energy Investment Potential With Technology Transfer, Kyle Herman
Dr. Kyle S. Herman
For potential for investment in Chilean renewable energy investment is promising. After the Chicago boys effectively transformed the Chilean economy into a haven for FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) during the 1980’s, government laws have aligned definitively with neo-liberal policy—in other words, open markets, incentives for investors, public-private partnerships and consistent injections of capital into its financial markets. This article explore these components and highlights investment potential and offers policy advice.
