     Paper by Celene Cleland-Gomez which examines the globalisation/sovereignty paradox and looks at the restructuring of the world economy and international state system and what it implies for the future development of the Caribbean.

  • Extraterritoriality and Competition Law

    This paper by David Gomez examines the adequacy of extraterritoriality as a policy tool for regulating economic activities that extends beyond a states’ territorial boundaries but which have an impact on it nonetheless. The utility of that practice for realizing state objectives is now being called into question as states increasingly seek to determine what framework of cooperation is best suited for addressing regulatory matters within international anti-trust and competition law.
