NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AS AMICI CURIAE in INTERNATIONAL LAW-MAKING a Dissertation Presented To
GLOBAL LAW ENTREPRENEURS: NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AS AMICI CURIAE IN INTERNATIONAL LAW-MAKING A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of the Science of Law by Anna Dolidze August 2013 © 2013 Anna Dolidze GLOBAL LAW ENTREPRENEURS: NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AS AMICI CURIAE IN INTERNATIONAL LAW-MAKING Anna Dolidze, J.S.D. Cornell University 2013 Increased participation of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in international lawmaking is hardly questioned in scholarship. NGOs use different means to affect international lawmaking, including acting as complainants and providing legal advice to the petitioners. However, in what particular way do NGOs influence international lawmaking? The dissertation answers this question by examining how NGOs utilize the procedural instrument of amicus curiae intervention before international tribunals. The dissertation shows that amicus curiae interventions by NGOs have become commonplace in international adjudication. In general, amicus curiae participation procedure serves as a legitimacy-enhancing mechanism for international tribunals. Scholars agree that in order to maintain legitimacy the international tribunals must stay cognizant of the values and preferences of stakeholders. Amicus intervention procedure is one of the mechanisms through which tribunals gather information about the values and attitudes of constituencies and communities subject to their lawmaking. Moreover, NGOs as amicus interveners act as “global law entrepreneurs”: they provide the tribunals with information as well as continuously support international lawmaking and advocate for its expansion. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Anna Dolidze is an Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Western Ontario. Dolidze's research interests are in international law, human rights, and law and development.

ELISABETTA GRANDE* Legal Transplants and the Inoculation Effect: How American Criminal Procedure Has Affected Continental Europe† This Article is a critique of the widely held idea that European criminal procedures have been “Americanized.” During the last few de- cades, European continental criminal procedures underwent extensive reforms and the American adversary system often became the reference model for this overhaul. Nevertheless, this Article demonstrates that the transfer, rather than producing an actual diffusion of American legal institutions in Europe and making the European criminal proce- dure systems more adversarial, has resulted instead in its opposite— i.e., in the fortification of the non-adversary civilian structure and its tenets. It is my speculation that this occasioned what I propose to call an “inoculation effect,” which, in a Gramscian sense, is theoretically explainable as a “counterhegemonic” move. To prove my argument, I discuss the impact of some transferred features of American criminal procedure on the receiving Europe- an context.

Comparative Law Edited by Mauro Bussani and Ugo Mattei Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-89570-5 - The Cambridge Companion to Comparative Law Edited by Mauro Bussani and Ugo Mattei Frontmatter More information The Cambridge Companion to Comparative Law We can only claim to understand another legal system when we know the cultural and social context that surrounds the positive law in which lawyers are trained. To avoid ethnocentricity and superficiality, we must go beyond judicial decisions, doctrinal writings, and the black-letter law of codes and statutes, and probe the ‘deeper structures’ where law meets cultural, political and socio-economic factors. It is only when we acquire such awareness and knowledge of the critical factors affecting both the backgrounds and implications of rules that it becomes possible to control the present and possibly future developments in the world’s legal institutions. This collection of essays aims to provide the reader with a fundamental understanding of the dynamic relationship between the law and its cultural, political, and socio-economic context. Mauro Bussani is Professor of Comparative Law at the University of Trieste and Scientific Director of the International Association of Legal Sciences (IALS-Unesco). He is co-editor of a Cambridge University Press series, and a member of numerous international scientific institutions. He has been Visiting Professor in Brazil, France, Hungary, China, Portugal, Serbia, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. His principal publications include twenty-one books (of five of which he was the editor) and more than one hundred essays, in Italian, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese. Ugo Mattei is Professor of Civil Law at the University of Turin, Alfred and Hanna Fromm Distinguished Professor of International and Comparative Law at University of California Hastings College of the Law, and Academic Co-ordinator of the International University College of Turin.

Commercial Trusts in European Private Law Edited by Michele Graziadei, Ugo Mattei and Lionel Smith Frontmatter More Information
Cambridge University Press 0521849195 - Commercial Trusts in European Private Law Edited by Michele Graziadei, Ugo Mattei and Lionel Smith Frontmatter More information Commercial Trusts in European Private Law This book examines how fifteen legal systems of the European Union regulate relationships of trust, focusing in particular on asset management. Following the Common Core approach, national reporters examine their Member State’s trusts laws primarily through the discussion of a series of hypothetical cases on, amongst other topics, the establishment and termination of management relationships, obligations of loyalty and of professionalism, and the choice of law. There is a special focus on commercial applications such as collective investment, collective secured lending, pension funds and securitisation. In addition to a much-needed comparative treatment of the subject, the book discusses the scholarly setting for the issues and gives guidance on the terminology in the evolving European scene. MICHELE GRAZIADEI is Professor of Comparative Private Law, Facolta di giurisprudenza, Universita` del Piemonte orientale.

A Theory of Imperial Law: A Study on U.S. Hegemony and the Latin Resistance UGO MATTEI* INTRODUCTION This essay attempts to develop a theory of imperial law that is able to explain post-Cold War changes in the general process of Americanization in legal thinking. My claim is that "imperial law" is now a dominant layer of world-wide legal systems.' Imperial law is produced, in the interest of international capital, by a variety of both public and private institutions, all sharing a gap in legitimacy, sometimes called the "democratic deficit." Imperial law is shaped by a spectacular process of exaggeration, aimed at building consent for the purpose of hegemonic domination.
