The “America First Trade Policy” in Practice
The beginning of President Donald J. Trump's second term in office has been marked by dramatic changes in the U.S. government's approach to foreign policy, international law, and international organizations.That, at least, is the predominant view both in the United States and abroad.At the same time, President Trump's executive orders and other policy directives have come so quickly, addressed so many issue areas, taken so many forms, and been so…
The National Security Consequences of the Major Questions Doctrine
The rise of the major questions doctrine—the rule that says that in order to delegate to the executive branch the power to resolve a “question of ‘deep economic and political significance’ that is central to [a] statutory scheme,” Congress must do so expressly—threatens to unmake the modern executive’s authority over foreign affairs, especially in matters of national security and interstate conflict. In the twenty-first century, global conflicts …
Taxing, Regulating, and Trading Carbon
The global trade liberalization project has been one of the most successful efforts at international cooperation ever. Estimates of industrial nations' average tariffs in 1947, when the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was negotiated, range from 20-40 percent. 1 The World Bank reports that in 1994, the year before the World Trade Organization (WTO) came into existence, the global applied average weighted tariff was still 8.57 percent…
Trade Law and Supply Chain Regulation in a Post-Covid-19 World
This Essay argues that trade agreements may overly constrain the ability of states to regulate supply chains for critical products such as medical supplies. Free trade agreements (FTAs) may exacerbate supply chain concentration, especially through loose rules of origin. And WTO rules constrain preventative regulation of supply chain risks designed to prevent a crisis, while providing exceptions for aggressive action only in the face of a crisis. …
Explaining energy disputes at the World Trade Organization
Shifting Sands
This article argues that the form of international agreements -binding hard law agreements versus non-binding soft law agreements -can be partially explained by states' interests in promoting renegotiation in the presence of uncertainty and shifting power. I make this argument in three steps. First, I explain that states regularly use unilateral non-compliance as a renegotiation strategy. Second, I argue that making an agreement soft facilitates …

Collective Decision-Making in International Governance
The traditional treaty, conceived of as a contract between states, is in decline. Recent climate change negotiations have produced nonbinding instruments such as the Copenhagen and Cancun Accords; the financial crisis prompted governments to negotiate Basel III, a nonbinding framework for global banking regulation; the nonbinding Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development's Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises are developed countri…
How Compliance Understates Effectiveness
Customarily one begins a discussion about the effectiveness of international law by quoting Louis Henkin's famous remark that "almost all nations obey almost all principles of international law and almost all of their obligations almost all of the time." For some, this empirical claim supports the notion that international law is a vital tool for furthering international cooperation across a broad range of issue areas. For others, the implicit su…
Epistemic Institutions and Epistemic Cooperation in International Environmental Governance
Under what conditions should epistemic institutions (institutions that provide policy-relevant scientific advice) be integrated into international legal institutions - for example, the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change? Following work in law and economics on the theory of the firm, this article argues that where states will not implement environmental policies absent a collective decision to do…
