    Reframing the Problem of Statelessness: Quest for a Supra-Legal Perspective
    (University of Oregon School of Law, 2019-06-19) Reddy, Sahana; Ramaprasad, Arkalgud
    Any democratic state must internalize and be sensitive to the human rights of susceptible groups. Most successful democracies seem to have realized this paramount goal, though reality presents a contradictory proposition where a considerable amount of people are still deprived of the mainstream protective umbrella of legal and social regimes. One such group that can often be excluded from the ideological basis of human rights discourse is stateless persons.

    Theoretical Challenges to TWAIL with the Rise of China: Labor Conditions Under Chinese Investment in Pakistan
    (University of Oregon School of Law, 2019-06-19) Azeem, Muhammad
    This article challenges the presumptions of Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) scholarship by examining the rise of China, a “non-European” country, in the global economic order. Is Chinese capital separate from structurally-entrenched global capital often considered Western? Is China going to use the already established hegemony of “universal” and “positivist” international legal regimes to further global exploitation, marginalization, and exclusion? Will the dependent state and local elite of the Third World countries resist such exploitation? This Article reflects on these questions by addressing labor conditions under Chinese investment in Pakistan.
