Sinclair","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3391646","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3391646","url":null,"abstract":"This paper seeks to move beyond the usual accountability framework of human rights law, focusing on one case of the World Bank Inspection Panel (WBIP) to consider other aspects of the relationship between human rights and international organisations in global governance. In particular, the paper makes two novel analytical moves. First, it conceptualises international organisations such as the WBIP as complex assemblages comprising diverse elements, thereby drawing attention to the manifold practices that connect the innumerable actors involved in constructing, processing, and contesting a WBIP complaint. Second, the paper widens the frame to examine the dynamics of authority at play between the various actors in a WBIP case. In this perspective, human rights appear not so much as a fixed set of standards against which WBIP seeks to hold the World Bank accountable for its actions, but rather as one among a number of vocabularies of authority deployed by the sundry entities in a range of complex interactions. As such, human rights are continually constructed, defined, and distinguished from other modes of discourse and practice in the making (and unmaking) of global governance.","PeriodicalId":218878,"journal":{"name":"Law & Society: International & Comparative Law eJournal","volume":"23 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132692127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises: Strengths and Weaknesses","authors":"Ali Yıldız","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3390443","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3390443","url":null,"abstract":"Multinational enterprises (MNEs) are both the propellant and outcome of globalization. In 2017, the top 100 global MNEs’ foreign operations represented 9 percent of world foreign assets, 17 percent of world foreign sales and 13 percent of foreign employment. Despite their significant importance and power over both international economy and well-being of people of present and future generations, there is not any conventional international law that regulates rights and obligations of the MNEs. The very first initiative to produce such a rule is the OECD Declaration on International Investment and Multinational Enterprises. The OECD Guidelines, with all of its strengths and weaknesses, is the only government-backed international instrument for responsible business conduct with a built-in non-judicial grievance mechanism. Therefore, despite all its weaknesses, the OECD Guidelines and its implementation is quite valuable for sustainable development, well-being of people of present and future generations, environmental and social progress worldwide, human and workers’ rights and so on. However, it is also clear that it needs to be improved with a prompt and broad reform. In this paper, the researcher examines the OECD Guidelines from a human rights perspective, introducing the existing legal framework, discussing its strengths and weaknesses, and concluding with certain recommendations.","PeriodicalId":218878,"journal":{"name":"Law & Society: International & Comparative Law eJournal","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124580786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Por diversas razones, el enfoque del gobierno nacional se ha dirigido hacia la obtención de los fines fiscales que se llevarían a cabo con la generación de este documento, pero ha relegado a un segundo plano lo referente al título valor que caracteriza la factura. Quizás por esto, a la fecha de publicación de este artículo, esto es abril de 2019, no se cuenta con una regulación suficiente para realizar las operaciones de factoring a través de los sistemas de negociación electrónicos. Y si bien es cierto que con este fin se expidió el Decreto 1349 de 2016, el cual establece una serie de reglas de circulación, dicho decreto aún no se ha puesto en marcha, dado que la Ley 1231 de 2008 y otras normas referentes a los títulos valores se encuentran vigentes, y estas en su mayoría se contemplaron en su momento para regular únicamente la circulación del título valor como documento físico. En este sentido, se evidencian diferentes problemáticas que de no ser reguladas oportunamente por el legislador podrían generar inconvenientes en el futuro para la factura electrónica como título valor y en consecuencia para las operaciones de factoring.","PeriodicalId":218878,"journal":{"name":"Law & Society: International & Comparative Law eJournal","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124989227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flaaen","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3374918","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3374918","url":null,"abstract":"We analyze several rounds of U.S. import restrictions against washing machines. Using retail price data, we estimate the price effect of these import restrictions by comparing the price changes of washers with those of other appliances. We find that in response to the 2018 tariffs on nearly all source countries, the price of washers rose by nearly 12 percent; the price of dryers—a complementary good not subject to tariffs—increased by an equivalent amount. Factoring in the effect of dryers and price increases by domestic brands, our estimates for the 2018 tariffs on washers imply a tariff elasticity of consumer prices of between 110 and 230 percent. The 2016 antidumping duties against China which accounted for the overwhelming majority of U.S. imports – led to minor price movements due to subsequent production relocation to other export platform countries. Perhaps surprisingly, the 2012 antidumping duties against Korea led to relocation of production to China, actually resulting in lower washer prices in the United States. We find that our measure of the tariff elasticity of consumer prices may differ in sign and magnitude from conventional pass-through estimates which are based on a regression of country-specific import price changes on country-specific tariff changes. Production relocation effects, price changes by domestic brands, and price changes of complementary goods all contribute to the differences between these measures.","PeriodicalId":218878,"journal":{"name":"Law & Society: International & Comparative Law eJournal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130249763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the increasing global attention to the operation of SOEs and the significant influence exerted by SOEs on international trade, the new chapter of the mega- FTA arguably provides important guidance and a useful platform for future discussions for new trade norms concerning SOEs. While offering a first stride in the right direction, the new chapter also includes ambiguities and uncertainties as regards key concepts and principles that could potentially render full implementation by contracting parties difficult and elusive. The chapter also contains provisions that would arguably lead to complex and controversial analyses of market indicia in a way that has not been conducted or tested in existing WTO Agreements or FTAs. Should proper opportunities arise, key provisions of the TPP SOE Chapter merit more in-depth discussion for elaboration and clarification, and more importantly, for consistency with existing norms of international trade. Regardless of the future of the TPP, these discussions will help develop new norms to regulate SOEs in other trade agreements in future negotiations.","PeriodicalId":218878,"journal":{"name":"Law & Society: International & Comparative Law eJournal","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117220170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
