Why Some Developing Countries Are Better Placed Than the International Monetary Fund To Develop Policy Responses to the Challenges of Global Capital
Get PDFThe International Monetary Fund’s track record on developing policy to govern theinteraction of developing countries and global capital is not strong. Argentina was an IMF posterchild throughout the 1990s. Its economy imploded in 2001. The Brady Plan provided a resolutionfor the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s. Yet the Plan was conceived not by the IMF, but byBrazil and Mexico. Chile successfully charted its own course through the turbulent 1990s with theadroit use of home-grown capital controls. Likewise, Malaysia charted its own course out of the1997 Asian crisis more advantageously than nations that implemented IMF programs and withpolicies the IMF vehemently opposed.

The Article concludes that maritime terrorism can be handled by balancing the interestsof the littoral states and user states, while respecting the sovereignty of the littoral states andaccepting the idea of burden sharing

Get PDFSlavery and the slave trade continue to exist in our time. ThisArticle evaluates and considers the relevance of U.S. laws concerning themaritime slave trade and how they might usefully be adapted to twentyfirstcentury situations. There are three potential areas in which revisedmaritime slave trade legislation would be of use: (1) in curbing the
remnants of the classic slave trade, (2) in helping disrupt the organizedsmuggling of refugees, and (3) in providing jurisdiction over maritimehostage situations involving vessel passengers or crew
