Fourteen years ago, in C & A Carbone, Inc. v. Town of Clarkstown, the U.S. Supreme Court held that a local government had unconstitutionally discriminated against interstate commerce when it forced its citizens to purchase all waste-transfer services from a single local private supplier. In a recent decision, United Haulers Ass'n v. Oneida-Herkimer Solid Waste Management Authority, the Court refused to extend the principle of Carbone to a law that required citizens to purchase these same services from a local government-operated facility. The Court thereby engrafted on the dormant Commerce Clause a new state-self-promotion exception, which receives its first extended treatment in this Article. I begin by identifying the many contexts in which this exception may take hold, touching in th...

A ruling on Chinese exports should also serve as a warning to others about protectionism.
The World Trade Organization's ruling this month against China's restrictions on the export of raw materials is a welcome decision that we hope will temper China's mercantilistic strategy, in which every policy decision is designed to favor Chinese exporters. It also should serve as a warning to others about these protectionist tools.

[...] he arrives at what many may think is a highly counterintuitive conclusion: Private schools for the poor are burgeoning across the developing world. Rather than dwelling on the well-known reasons why government schools serve students so poorly, Tooley concentrates on the innovations that are possible when the passions and preferences of human hearts to educate the young go unsatisfied.

As Europe's leaders respond to the financial crisis, concerns of economic protectionism are leading to greater questions over the fundamental unity of the EU. At risk is the European Single Market, which, though less prominent than the symbolic euro, is the true basis for unity among the various European countries. Given the current financial circumstances, protectionist impulses are the natural outcome of pressing political pressures; in addition, they play a particularly strong role for European national leaders given the nature of the single market that connects all EU country economies. Nevertheless, the long history of unity and its legacy of economic benefit to Europe require that European leaders strongly defend the core ideals of the European Single Market in the wake of the eco...
