Charting no man's land: applying jurisdictional and choice of law doctrines to interstate compacts

Article Abstract:

Choice of law in interstate compacts is best determined by standard legal doctrines and applying functional methodology. Interstate compacts occupy a constitutional no man's land because constitutional doctrines generally rely on state-federal categorizations and not the multistate-state or multistate-federal categorizations of interstate compacts. Different areas of law or legal situations may require different doctrinal treatment resulting in the application of federal common law in some situations and state law in others.

A modest proposal: statehood and sovereignty in a global age

Article Abstract:

A new concept of sovereignty and statehood should immediately be developed so that nations can recognize the realities of international actors such as money managers. A property based model may provide a basis for retention of sovereignty while empowering nations to act in the international arena. Regulation of financial actors may have to be by nontraditional and nongovernmental methods.
