The Obama administration is playing with fire when it tries to bully other countries like Mexico and China to satisfy protectionist interest groups in the United States. It might be worth recalling how the Tariff Act of 1930 - still the statutory basis of U.S. trade policy - increased costs for consumers and businesses, devastated trade and plunged the Western world deeper into the depression that was already under way. Focused exclusively on domestic politics, President Hoover and members of Congress triggered an international catastrophe.

The espionage case involving the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and a recently published paper by two academics point to key problems with the Bush administration's Mideast policy. In The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago and Stephen Walt of Harvard University argue that under the influence of pro-Israel interest groups, including Jewish-Americans and Christian evangelicals, the United States is too aligned with Israel in its position on the Palestinian question. This has undercut the United States' standing in the Middle East. Mearsheimer and Walt are largely right. However, the administration's disastrous misdirection of Middle East policy has nothing to do with a Jewish "cabal," as some accuse the authors of suggest...
THE CLEAN AIR ACT'S PREEMPTIVE EFFECT ON THE FEDERAL COMMON LAW OF NUISANCE Until the Supreme Court's decision in Massachusetts v. EPA ("Massachusetts II"),2 legal scholars disagreed as to the CAA's preemptive effect on interstate nuisance actions involving greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide.3 This debate was important to public interest groups and private citizens wanting to bring an interstate nuisance action under the federal common law.4 If the CAA preempted the federal common law for interstate nuisance actions involving greenhouses gases, then their cases would be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. "11 In the early twentieth century, these specialized areas of federal common law became extremely important in interstate pollution disputes in order to protect the natural res...

This paper reflects on the literature on courts and politics in Europe and the United States. US-American Political Science has dealt for several decades already with the role of courts and judges as political actors, whereas this perspective has only recently emerged in Europe. The debates differ not only with regard to the number of articles, but also with regard to their content. This paper discusses the different research perspectives that are being pursued on both sides of the Atlantic. While a major part of the US-American literature investigates the politics of judicial action and the politicization of the legal system, research on European courts confines itself to analyzing the effects of judicial action, often describing them in terms of juridification. Based on a review of th...
