Each book in the Global Issues Series contains materials designed to facilitate the introduction of international, transnational and comparative law issues into basic law school courses. The goal of this series is to ensure that all law school graduates have sufficient familiarity with the growing impact of non-domestic sources of law, and the growing potential for transnational legal transactions and disputes, to function in an era of increasing globalization. In addition, introduction of International, Transnational and Comparative Law materials can enhance the students' understanding of domestic law. The philosophy behind this series may be best summarized by Justice Stephen G. Breyer's statement that "This world we live in is a world where it is out of date to teach foreign law in a course called Foreign Law."

» Global Issues in Antitrust and Competition Law |
| by: Eleanor M. Fox, Daniel A. Crane |
This title covers international and comparative issues of antitrust law, economics and policy. It may be used to enrich US antitrust casebooks or as a stand-alone for courses on global antitrust. It addresses all major issues of competition law and global competition policy, including extraterritoriality; global norms; cooperation, convergence and divergence; the state's role in restraining or facilitating competition; process and procedures; and substantive areas including cartels, horizontal and vertical agreements, abuse of dominance, and mergers. It compares developed and developing jurisdictions. It references numerous jurisdictions including the EU, China, Japan, India, Russia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and Latin American countries.
"This volume is a majestic survey of an issue whose time has truly come. It will not only be a building block in the enterprise of aligning global markets and national antitrust; it is a veritable world tour of the rules and practices that already propel that world further and map out its future direction."David Lewis Professor, Gordon Institute of Business Science, Johannesburg, and immediate past Chairperson of the South African Competition Tribunal

» Global Issues in Commercial Law |
| by: Claude D. Rohwer, Kristen David Adams |
This book is primarily intended as a supplement to an existing Commercial Transactions survey course, but could also be used as a stand-alone text for a seminar course or other specialized elective. The book seeks to fill in the blanks that might be left by a traditional casebook focusing on domestic law, providing not only the international perspective but also sufficient domestic context to facilitate a comparative-law discussion. The book includes not only topics that are staples of international commercial law (such as the CISG and international insolvency), but also items of particular contemporary concern, including clawbacks, microfinance, and religious objections to the payment of interest in commercial contracts.

Carefully drafted note materials (and a teacher's manual) make the book self-contained, and easy to understand and introduce without additional background reading. This concise supplement expands the boundaries of the traditional constitutional law courses, presenting the world view that professors, students and lawyers practicing in the 21st century need to know.

» Global Issues in Corporate Law |
| by: Franklin A. Gevurtz |
This book is designed to allow the introduction of comparative and transnational law issues into a basic corporation law class. It covers: Choice of law; a basic typology of business organization forms in the world; limited liability and creditor protection concerns; corporate governance structures; mismanagement by directors and controlling shareholders; insider trading; and takeovers. Global Issues in Corporate Law is designed to inform, rather than overburden, the basic corporation law course. For example, the chapter on limited liability and creditor protection is built around United States court opinions seeking to pierce the corporate veil of foreign corporations. By substituting these cases for the cases typically used to cover this topic, the professor can cover piercing the corporate veil, plus comparative approaches to creditor protection, with no more reading than is typically committed just to piercing the corporate veil.
Carefully drafted note materials make the book self-contained so that neither students nor the instructor should feel compelled to engage in extensive outside reading.

» Global Issues in Criminal Law |
| by: Linda E. Carter, Peter J. Henning, Christopher L. Blakesley |
Global Issues in Criminal Law provides an introduction to issues arising in international and transnational crimes that give students a broader perspective on a developing area of the law. The book also provides faculty and students with material from domestic and international sources. The first chapter provides an overview of the foundational issues in the prosecution of crimes that cross borders, such as securities fraud and the international sex trade, and that challenge legal institutions to respond to large-scale violence, such as genocide and terrorism. The book builds on a number of subjects treated in the traditional criminal law class, such as mens rea, actus reus, accomplice and conspiratorial liability, and defenses, by analyzing three subjects of current interest: transnational crimes, terrorism, and genocide. Each of these chapters includes a detailed problem that can be used as the foundation for analyzing the cases and primary source material that includes U.S. and foreign statutes and treaties. The book is designed as a supplement to the general criminal law course offered in every law school while also being useful in advanced seminars and international law courses. The problems give the teacher the flexibility to include some or all of the materials provided, and each chapter can be taught easily in two or three sessions as a unit within a regular course. Any of the three substantive chapters can be assigned individually if a professor wants to insert a particular issue into a broader course. For courses and seminars that focus on international and transnational legal issues, the book can be the basis for a more complete study of how the criminal law is being applied today across borders and in international settings. The materials provide an opportunity to introduce students to problems that face both domestic and international communities and provide an opportunity for insight into issues that will face many criminal law practitioners, judges, and scholars.

» Global Issues in Criminal Procedure |
| by: Linda Carter, Christopher L. Blakesley, Peter Henning |
Global Issues in Criminal Procedure provides an overview of constitutional issues that arise when searches, seizures, and interrogations occur outside the United States. As crimes increasingly cross international borders, investigations also cross national boundaries. The materials in this book examine prosecutions in U.S. courts that involve evidence obtained abroad. There are two main parts to the book: 1) Searches and Seizures Abroad and 2) Interrogations Abroad. The first part examines the reach of the Fourth Amendment when the searches and seizures involve U.S. citizens abroad compared with non-U.S. citizens. Cases such as Verdugo-Urquidez and Alvarez-Machain are included, along with more recent cases that stem from recent terrorism prosecutions. Since the September 11 attacks, electronic surveillance has also become more important in conducting investigations and raises new challenges. A section on electronic surveillance contains materials on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act with its amendments from the USA Patriot Act and more recent amendments. The second part of the book looks at the reach of the Fifth Amendment and Due Process Clause abroad, both the ban on involuntary statements and the protections of Miranda. This section further includes materials on torture and extraordinary renditions. There is also a short discussion of indefinite detention in places like Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, Afghanistan, and in other sites. The book is designed to be used in conjunction with a basic Criminal Procedure textbook that covers the traditional Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment cases. The materials provide an opportunity to extend the study of these Amendments into the international implications and issues that face many criminal law practitioners and judges in cases today in U.S. courts.

emphasis on the trend toward privatization and defined contribution plans; public and private health care issues surrounding national health care systems and private health insurance schemes; and the intersection between employment discrimination laws throughout the world and global employee benefit law issues.

» Global Issues in Environmental Law |
| by: Stephen C. McCaffrey, Rachael E. Salcido |
Environmental law addresses the broad question of how to reconcile human activity with the need to protect the life-support system of humans and other species on a planet of limited resources. This question cannot be fully understood or explored without acknowledging that environmental issues do not respect political boundaries. Once introduced to the challenges of effectively addressing environmental problems, students can easily appreciate the value of concerted international efforts to address those challenges, and lessons that can be learned from efforts in other countries. Global Issues in Environmental Law is designed to facilitate the introduction of international and comparative legal issues into the basic Environmental Law course, but could also be used in a seminar on the subject.
The book covers: constitutional protection of the environment; the precautionary principle; intergenerational equity; international and national approaches to the regulation of air, water and toxic substance pollution; global climate change; wildlife and biodiversity preservation; the Law of the Sea; and management of oceans and coastal areas.

| by: Ann Laquer Estin, Barbara Stark |

» Global Issues in Securities Law |
| by: Marc Steinberg, Franklin Gevurtz, and Eric Chaffee |
This book is designed to allow the introduction of comparative and transnational law issues into a federal securities law course. It can also be used as a standalone book for a course on global securities regulation. It begins with an overview of the globalization of securities markets and the policy issues this raises for securities regulation, followed by a comparative look at differences in national approaches to the substance of securities regulation, both with regard to mandatory disclosure obligations and with regard to insider trading. It also explores enforcement of securities laws---first looking at comparative approaches to government enforcement, next at the topic of how enforcement agencies in different nations cooperate with each other, and finally a comparative look at different approaches to the highly controversial topic of private enforcement of securities laws. This leads to a look at the reach of United States securities laws to transactions taking place abroad. Finally, it examines emerging securities markets and what lessons nations with such markets can draw from the experience of nations with developed markets.
