The Origins of the Global Trade System

Following the 1929 stock market crash, governments lost mutual trust and implemented protectionist measures to restrict imports. Consequently, global trade experienced a 66% reduction over the subsequent four years. However, the post-World War II era brought significant changes to the international trade system. These shifts were driven by Anglo-American cooperation and the American preference for open market arrangements and a multilateral, rule-based system designed to limit unilateral national action.

The Establishment of GATT

In 1948, 23 countries approved the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) at the Conference on Trade and Employment in Havana, following initial tariff reduction agreements... Continue reading "The Evolution of GATT and the Rise of the WTO" »

Constitutional Role of Civil Justice

The state acts as the executioner of the law of nature, following the rule of decretum divi marci by utilizing remedies provided by the state. This notion of the state's duty to provide justice is expressed in Article 8 of the UDHR: everyone has the right to an effective remedy.

These specific provisions are further complemented by more general ones. Locke suggests what happens when a government fails. The right of action is a consequence of substantive rights; Savigny suggests that legal protection shall be granted, with the right of action provided by public law....
