  • To Scholars and Students Interested in Hungarian, East Europe'an, and Cold War History
    to scholars and students interested in Hungarian, East Europe'an, and Cold War history. A basic knowledge of Hungarian history will be useful to gain full advantage of this work. The image of Hungary as the "first domino" in the eventual collapse of Soviet hegemony over Eastern Europe is perhaps a little too deterministic. Granville's text makes clear that she also believes that chance plays a role in decision making and history in general. Granville concludes that "multiarchival research tends to confirm the postrevisionists' theory about the Cold War: it was everyone's fault and no one's fault. It resulted from the emerging bipolar structure of the international system, a power vacuum in the center of Europe, and spiraling misconceptions." (p. 214) John C. Swanson Utica College of Syracuse University After the Collapse of Communism: Comparative Lessons of Transition. Edited by Mi- chael McFaul and Kathryn Stoner-Weiss. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge Uni- versity Press, 2004. vii, 264 pp. $60.00. This book derives from an autumn 2000 politics conference at Princeton marking one decade after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Six of seven papers focus on political de- velopments in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Republics (FSU). One paper deals with economics and four concentrate on Russia. The title suggests an overview of social progress a decade after the fall. The book is better understood as a collection of papers on politics each of which is a step along a re- search agenda. I recommend it to anyone concerned with democracy or with politics after the collapse.

This represents a 2.6 percentage point increase over the reference period. For 2007 and 2008, of the total of seven covered channels, three channels achieved the majority proportion specified in Article 4 of the Directive (Omega Television, RUV and Syn - Vision TV), while four channels didn't meet this target (Sirkus, Skjár 1, Stöð 2 and Stöð 2 Bio). The compliance rate, in terms of numbers of channels, was 42.9%. European works made by independent producers The average proportion of European works by independent producers on all reported channels was 10.7% in 2007 and 12.6% in 2008, representing a 1.9 percentage points increase over the reference period. In 2007, of the total of seven identified channels, two channels exceeded the minimum proportion under Article 5 of the Directive, while three channels remained below the target. One channel was exempted (Syn - Vision TV) and no data was communicated for another one (Omega Television). The compliance rate, in terms of number of channels, was 33.3%. For 2008, of the total of seven covered channels, three exceeded the minimum proportion specified in Article 5 of the Directive, while two channels were below the target (Skjár 1 and Stöð 2 Bio). No data were communicated for two channels.

  • Grey Market Goods and Modern International Commerce: a Question of Free Trade
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 10, Issue 2 1986 Article 6 Grey Market Goods and Modern International Commerce: A Question of Free Trade Richard A. Fogel∗ ∗ Copyright c 1986 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj Grey Market Goods and Modern International Commerce: A Question of Free Trade Richard A. Fogel Abstract This Note argues that the importance of trademark laws to the resolution of the grey goods controversy is outweighed by the overriding public policy considerations of international free trade. Part I discusses the background of the grey goods controversy by examining the history of the controlling statutory and case law and the recent grey goods cases. Part II demonstrates that trademark owners are not significantly injured by the availability of grey goods, but actually gain windfall profits if there is an absolute bar on grey goods. Part III argues that preventing impor- tation of grey goods injures international free trade. This Note concludes that grey marketing is a natural and healthy economic consequence of restrictions on international free trade and should not be discouraged. GREY MARKET GOODS AND MODERN INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE: A QUESTION OF FREE TRADE INTRODUCTION "Grey market goods" or "grey goods" are commodities bearing an authentic trademark that are manufactured under the supervision of the trademark owner, but diverted outside the trademark owner's designated distribution channel.' These goods are eventually sold in competition with the mer- chandise of authorized distributors. For example, a United States retailer who is denied an authorized distributorship by the owner of the United States trademark rights may purchase the same trademarked merchandise from an authorized distrib- utor in another country.
