Special 301 : Its Requirements, Implementation, and Significance

This Article reviews the Special 301 provisions and their implementation to date. Special 301 is designed to use the credible threat of unilateral retaliation by the United States to persuade trading partners to reform currently deficient IP practices. The article praises the US\u27s use of Special 301 use thus far but warns against taking harsher action

Dynamics of soliton-like solutions for slowly varying, generalized gKdV equations: refraction vs. reflection

In this work we continue the description of soliton-like solutions of some slowly varying, subcritical gKdV equations. In this opportunity we describe, almost completely, the allowed behaviors: either the soliton is refracted, or it is reflected by the potential, depending on its initial energy. This last result describes a new type of soliton-like solution for gKdV equations, also present in the NLS case. Moreover, we prove that the solution is not pure at infinity, unlike the standard gKdV soliton.Comment: 51 pages, submitte

The GATT Uruguay Round: Its Significance for U.S. Bilateral Trade with Korea and Taiwan

This article reviews the choreography of U.S. trade policy, as reflected in the U.S. government\u27s efforts to reconcile its objectives in the Uruguay Round with its actions in its bilateral relationships with Korea and Taiwan. It illustrates how developments in four key areas of the Round - protection of intellectual property, services, investment, and agriculture - and in bilateral trade negotiations are intended to be, and can be, complementary rather than contradictory

Study of stability and control moment gyro wobble damping of flexible, spinning space stations

An executive summary and an analysis of the results are discussed. A user's guide for the digital computer program that simulates the flexible, spinning space station is presented. Control analysis activities and derivation of dynamic equations of motion and the modal analysis are also cited

Closing the Loopholes: 1988 Trade Act Amendments to the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws

This article will address the changes aimed at rendering the AD and CVD laws more effective. 16 The article first outlines briefly the antidumping and countervailing duty laws. It then discusses the amendments designed to prevent evasion of the antidumping and countervailing duty laws. Next, the article discusses the repeal of duty drawback for antidumping and countervailing duties, and amendments to the determination of injury. Finally, the article assesses the significance of the 1988 Act amendments to the AD and CVD laws
