State Antitrust Enforcement: Politics or Economics?
No full textAntitrust enforcement on the federal level has clear partisan influences; Democrats usually support expansive enforcement regimes while Republicans oppose them. On the state level, the ideological divide appears muddled. State attorneys general, who are mostly elected officials, are responsible for initiating lawsuits. This study seeks to determine whether state attorneys general mirror their federal counterpart in enforcing antitrust law on a partisan basis or whether unique state variables such as economic factors overwhelm ideological motivations. Public choice theory dictates politicians prioritize re-election and will adhere to constituent interest, thus providing the theoretical foundation for why politicians may tailor antitrust enforcement to their voters. Using panel data from all fifty states from 2009-2023, political factors seem irrelevant to whether a state attorney general is a plaintiff on a competition law case while economic indicators such as median household income and unemployment rate robustly predict enforcement. The implications are plentiful: state attorneys general might be gaining autonomy, the nature of antitrust lawsuits could be shifting, and the same political party may have different ideologies contingent upon the constituency

Presidential Influence on the Bureaucracy: The Curious Case of Lina Khan
No full textHow effective can a president be in promoting his or her policies through the bureaucracy? Most theories postulate the president has influence – via appointees, budgeting, and executive orders. This paper unpacks the president’s influence on the bureaucracy by analyzing President Biden’s effect on antitrust, particularly with regards to addressing labor concerns. Biden appears to depart from previous presidential administrations due to his heightened emphasis on labor’s need for protection and antitrust law as the optimal vehicle for helping workers. The data, pulled from federal and state court antitrust cases since 2000, relies on textual analysis with regards to the frequency of labor terminology. President Biden’s dedication towards deconcentrating the labor market appears to increase labor considerations in antitrust suits, as the data demonstrate a rise in terms related to labor during the Biden Administration. Labor terminology was increasing throughout the past two decades but experienced a bump in its rate of increase during President Biden’s first term. Hence, the president’s effects on antitrust and the bureaucracy appear persuasive based on the considered evidence. These findings indicate the bureaucracy is swayed by political headwinds, making consistent regulation difficult
Eating my words: Linguistic politics in India
No full textLanguage learning is common preparation for much anthropological fieldwork, but the choices researchers make in this area are distinctly political. Prompted by a chance encounter while studying Hindi, the author reflects on this realisation in view of the numerous languages spoken in India, the interactions involved in hospital-based research, and the place of language in Indian politics more broadly
Climate Litigation Update
No full textThe views of individuals and communities impacted by climate change do not always align with the views of governments, corporations and other enterprises regarding the extent of those enterprises’ obligation to contribute to efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change. In such circumstances, an increasingly common – and increasingly effective – option for the impacted individuals and communities is to commence climate litigation against the recalcitrant enterprises. In this paper the author outlines the various strategies being adopted in climate litigation and evaluates their effectiveness in a series of recent judicial decisions, both local and international, relating to climate change generally and its impact upon coastal cities in particular

Contracting without Paper
No full textThis paper examines the contract simplification effort currently undergoing review and modification in the Department of the Army. This effort has led the author to explore the state of the art of contracting and what changes will have to be made to methods of contracting to keep pace with the commercial marketplace in the next decade.
The computer is becoming as common as the telephone in every office. The use of the computer seems to be unlimited, ranging from games to sending and receiving electronic mail and transfer of large sums of money to and between bank accounts. This paper provides what the author perceives is the step-by-step advancement needed by the Government in the use of computers to transition from formal paper contracts transported by mail to the paperless contracting transported by telephone lines or satellite to contractors and between contractors and Government agencies.
This paper explains the author\u27s concept of the various elements of paperless contract evolution which must be achieved to allow the release of solicitations via computers, contractor submission of bids via computers, and the eventual award of contracts by the same means
