The doctrine of sources has served international law well over the past century, providing structure and coherence during a time when international law was expanding rapidly and dramatically. But the doctrine's explanatory power is increasingly being challenged. Current doctrine tells us that treaties are international law; empirical evidence, however, suggests that treaties are poor predictors of state practice. The expansion of the international community, the rise of human rights, developments in international legal theory, and the international system's need to adapt to changing circumstances have also put pressure on the reified role of "treaty" in identifying rules of international law.
Drawing from a number of theories developed to explain why states comply with international...

Supply chain management (SCM) software vendors, analysts, and others claim that firms implementing SCM software stand to benefit by being able to reduce inventory holdings and increase inventory turns. We theorize that full-scale implementations lead to system-wide inventory optimization, which in turn leads to cost improvement associated with inventory balances and turns. To examine the question, we develop an analytical model of inventory optimization, then analyze the effects of the model with a numerical experiment, and finally confirm the results with an empirical examination. We find that firm-wide implementation is significant in explaining improvement in inventory metrics, relative to pre-implementation metrics for our sample. Our empirical tests indicate that implementing SCM s...

This paper explores the advantages and limits of the territorial focus as a strategy of reducing inequalities in rural areas by way of analysis of recent decentralization experiences in the state of Santa Catarina, in southern Brazil. Examined in particular are the implementation process of the Federal Ministry of Agrarian Development and its interface with the process of political-administrative decentralization implemented by the government of Santa Catarina. We seek further comprehension of the impact of such dynamics in the reduction of regional inequality, seeking to identify the mechanisms moving this process and the institutional blockages encountered in their implementation.
