  • Amazon's Antitrust Paradox
    LINA M. KHAN Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox abstract. Amazon is the titan of twenty-first century commerce. In addition to being a re- tailer, it is now a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment service, a credit lender, an auction house, a major book publisher, a producer of television and films, a fashion designer, a hardware manufacturer, and a leading host of cloud server space. Although Amazon has clocked staggering growth, it generates meager profits, choosing to price below-cost and ex- pand widely instead. Through this strategy, the company has positioned itself at the center of e- commerce and now serves as essential infrastructure for a host of other businesses that depend upon it. Elements of the firm’s structure and conduct pose anticompetitive concerns—yet it has escaped antitrust scrutiny. This Note argues that the current framework in antitrust—specifically its pegging competi- tion to “consumer welfare,” defined as short-term price effects—is unequipped to capture the ar- chitecture of market power in the modern economy. We cannot cognize the potential harms to competition posed by Amazon’s dominance if we measure competition primarily through price and output. Specifically, current doctrine underappreciates the risk of predatory pricing and how integration across distinct business lines may prove anticompetitive. These concerns are height- ened in the context of online platforms for two reasons. First, the economics of platform markets create incentives for a company to pursue growth over profits, a strategy that investors have re- warded. Under these conditions, predatory pricing becomes highly rational—even as existing doctrine treats it as irrational and therefore implausible.

  • Issue Brief Template
    9 February 2010 No. 3 WESTERN SAHARA Expected Council Action In February the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General for Western Sahara, Christopher Ross, will coordinate a meeting between Morocco and the Polisario Front. This meeting follows the UN’s proposal to hold informal direct talks over the status of Western Sahara. The Security Council is not expected to take any action in February, but members are watching developments closely bearing in mind that the mandate of the UN peacekeeping operation MINURSO, expires in April. Key Recent Developments On 2 February, the Secretary-General issued a statement welcoming the parties' decision to agree to the proposal for informal talks made by his Special Envoy. The talks will take place on 10-11 February outside New York and allow the parties to renew each other’s positions on Western Sahara, including: • Morocco's proposal that Western Sahara should be an autonomous region within Morocco; and • Polisario Front’s position that the territory’s final status can only be decided in a referendum that includes independence as a legitimate option. In December 2009 some Council members requested a briefing from the Secretariat on Western Sahara. The briefing was agreed upon just before Christmas but has not been scheduled as of this writing. On 30 April 2009, the Council extended the mandate of the UN Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) through resolution 1871. The Council also called on the parties to continue negotiations in good faith, with a view to achieving political solution. MINURSO has been in place since 1991.

  • Law-And-Political-Economy Framework: Beyond the Twentieth-Century Synthesis Abstract
    JEDEDIAH BRITTON- PURDY, DAVID SINGH GREWAL, AMY KAPCZYNSKI & K. SABEEL RAHMAN Building a Law-and-Political-Economy Framework: Beyond the Twentieth-Century Synthesis abstract. We live in a time of interrelated crises. Economic inequality and precarity, and crises of democracy, climate change, and more raise significant challenges for legal scholarship and thought. “Neoliberal” premises undergird many fields of law and have helped authorize policies and practices that reaffirm the inequities of the current era. In particular, market efficiency, neu- trality, and formal equality have rendered key kinds of power invisible, and generated a skepticism of democratic politics. The result of these presumptions is what we call the “Twentieth-Century Synthesis”: a pervasive view of law that encases “the market” from claims of justice and conceals it from analyses of power. This Feature offers a framework for identifying and critiquing the Twentieth-Century Syn- thesis. This is also a framework for a new “law-and-political-economy approach” to legal scholar- ship. We hope to help amplify and catalyze scholarship and pedagogy that place themes of power, equality, and democracy at the center of legal scholarship. authors.

    From Nonproliferation to Regional Talks, then to Collective Security and Deterrence The Third North Korean Nuclear Crisis from a Historical Perspective From Nonproliferation to Regional Talks, then to Collective Security and Deterrence The Third North Korean Nuclear Crisis from a Historical Perspective Hideya Kurata (National Defense Academy of Japan) uring the past quarter century, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, North Korea) nuclear problem has posed an intermittent threat to the international community. The crisis in the early 1990s and that in the early to mid-2000s are respectively labeled the first and the second nuclear crisis, followed by the ongoing Dthird nuclear crisis, but the structure and dynamics of these crises are not uniform. The third nuclear crisis has come with issues that could not be resolved in the two earlier crises. I. Regional Nonproliferation Treaty Arrangements: Adopting NPT Regime Norms North Korea’s attempt to conclude a bilateral peace agreement to replace the 1953 Military Armistice Agreement with the United States – excluding Republic of Korea (ROK, South Korea) and China -- has been fairly consistent since the middle of the Cold War. The United States has refused to accept the offer, regarding it as a means to render the US-South Korea alliance impotent through the disbanding of the United Nations Command in Korea, a legacy of the Korean War, and as a means to provoke the withdrawal of US forces from South Korea. Breaking this precedent of no US-DPRK bilateral talks was what followed the declaration by North Korea in 1993 to withdraw from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT).

  • Living Simultaneity
    Living Simultaneity Simultaneity Living Semi-secular individuals, those who are neither religious nor unreligious, seldom get the attention of scholars of religion. Here, however, they stand at the center. Th e interviewees live in the same Stockholm neighborhood and it is their ways of talking about and relating to religion that is analyzed and described. Simultaneity is one particular feature in the material. Th is concept emphazises a ‘both and’ approach in: the way the respon- dents ascribe meaning to the term religion; how they talk about themselves in relation to diff erent religious designations and how they interpret experiences that they single out as ‘out-of-the- ordinary’. Th ese simultaneities are explained and theorized through analyses focusing on intersubjective and discursive processes. Th is work adds to a critical discussion on the supposedly far-reaching secularity in Sweden on the one hand and on the incongruence and inconsistency of lived religion on the other. In relation to theorizing on religion and religious people, this study off ers empirical material that nuance a dichotomous under- standing of ‘the religious’ and ‘the secular’. In relation to method- ology it is argued that the salience of simultaneity in the material shows that when patterns of religiosity among semisecular Swedes are studied there is a need to be attentive to expressions of com- plexity, contradiction and incongruity.

  • Governance Reform and the Judicial Role in Municipal Bankruptcy Abstract
    CLAYTON P. GILLETTE & DAVID A. SKEEL, JR. Governance Reform and the Judicial Role in Municipal Bankruptcy abstract. Recent proceedings involving large municipalities such as Detroit, Stockton, and Vallejo illustrate both the utility and limitations of using the Bankruptcy Code to adjust municipal debt. In this Article, we contend that, to resolve fully the distress of a substantial city, municipal bankruptcy needs to provide more than simple debt reduction. Debt adjustment alone does nothing to remedy the fragmented decision making and incentives for expanding municipal budgets that are ingrained in municipal governance structures and that often underlie municipal distress. Unless bankruptcy also addresses governance dysfunction, the city faces a return to financial distress. Indeed, this Article demonstrates that governance restructuring has long been an essential element of corporate bankruptcy and that, given the monopoly position of local governments as providers of local public goods, it is even more important in the municipal bankruptcy context. Some might argue that reducing a city’s debt is the best that bankruptcy courts can offer, due to concerns that a more comprehensive approach would, among other things, interfere with state sovereignty and exceed the statutory authority that the Bankruptcy Code grants to courts. In our view, these concerns do not withstand scrutiny. Based on a careful analysis of the origins of the current municipal bankruptcy provisions, as well as an assessment of recent Supreme Court jurisprudence, we argue that governance reform is permitted even under existing law, and point out that minor adjustments to municipal bankruptcy law would make this conclusion even clearer. To be sure, the states themselves, rather than a bankruptcy court, ideally should be the ones to effect municipal governance reform.
