Law Review.Book NEW YORK IN TER NA TION AL LAW REVIEW Summer 2007 Vol. 20, No. 2 Articles Entrenched Emergencies and the “War on Terror”: Time to Reform the Derogation Procedure in International Law? Edel Hughes .........................................................................................................1 Laws of Unintended Consequences: Terrorist Financing Restrictions and Transitions to Democracy Peter Margulies ..................................................................................................65 Japanese Only: Xenophobic Exclusion in Japan’s Private Sphere Canon Pence.....................................................................................................101 Recent Decisions Sung Hwan Co., Ltd. v. Rite Aid Corp. ...........................................................161 In an action to enforce a money judgment obtained by a foreign company against a domestic company, the Court of Appeals of New York held that the fact that New York does not recognize an economic loss tort did not foreclose the use of Rule 302(a)(3) as a basis by a foreign court to exercise personal jurisdiction over the domestic company. Schonfeld v. Bush ............................................................................................167 In an action governed by Hong Kong law, the court denied the defendant’s motion for summary judgment, holding that Hong Kong law required a trier of facts to determine whether a partnership existed, that Hong Kong law recognized a duty of loyalty, and that Hong Kong law, although not identical to New York law, did have requirements sufficiently analogous to the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing for a claim to proceed on that basis. In re Rivastigmine Patent Litigation .............................................................. 173 In the absence of an express absolute evidentiary privilege comparable to the U.S. attorney-client priv- ilege in Swiss law, such a privilege cannot be extended to communications between a company and its Swiss patent agents and in-house counsel. Karaha Bodas Co., L.L.C. v. Perusahaan Pertambangan Minyak Dan Gas Bumi Negara .......................................................................183 Motion granted for an injunction restraining the adverse party from filing foreign proceedings where it filed parallel proceedings in bad faith and to obstruct justice in the same dispute in foreign courts after final judgments had been entered by courts in the United States. DiChiara v. Ample Faith Investments Ltd. ......................................................195 Allegations including a broad contractual choice of New York law and jurisdic tion were sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdic tion over the defendants, based on forum non conveniens, international comity, and failure to join an indispensable party. Commission v. Spain .......................................................................................203 Spain failed to fulfill its obligations under Articles 1 to 3 of Council Directive 64/221/EEC on the coordination of special measures concerning the movement and residence of foreign nationals by refusing entry without investigation of the alien spouses of Member State nationals.

    The Darkest Red Corner Chinese Communist Intelligence and Its Place in the Party, 1926-1945 Matthew James Brazil A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Doctor of Philosophy Department of Government and International Relations Business School University of Sydney 17 December 2012 Statement of Originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted previously, either in its entirety or substantially, for a higher degree or qualifications at any other university or institute of higher learning. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources has been acknowledged. Matthew James Brazil i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Before and during this project I met a number of people who, directly or otherwise, encouraged my belief that Chinese Communist intelligence was not too difficult a subject for academic study. Michael Dutton and Scot Tanner provided invaluable direction at the very beginning. James Mulvenon requires special thanks for regular encouragement over the years and generosity with his time, guidance, and library. Richard Corsa, Monte Bullard, Tom Andrukonis, Robert W. Rice, Bill Weinstein, Roderick MacFarquhar, the late Frank Holober, Dave Small, Moray Taylor Smith, David Shambaugh, Steven Wadley, Roger Faligot, Jean Hung and the staff at the Universities Service Centre in Hong Kong, and the kind personnel at the KMT Archives in Taipei are the others who can be named. Three former US diplomats cannot, though their generosity helped my understanding of links between modern PRC intelligence operations and those before 1949.
