Sam Rayburn and New Deal Legislation, 1933-1936

Turner, David P. 08 1900 (has links)
Sam Rayburn's record as Speaker of the House was undoubtedly his best known accomplishment during fifty years in Congress. Nevertheless he played a vital role as proponent of the New Deal during the period from 1933 to 1936 when he was Chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. Since Rayburn's role in passage of early New Deal statutes has been neglected, the purpose of this thesis is to examine his contributions to the Roosevelt Administration as leader in the debates on key legislation.

Resolving the conflict between the protection of international investments and the state's right and responsibilty to regulate

McKenzie, Sarah Jenelle January 2017 (has links)
Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree: Masters of Laws LLM by Dissertation (Research) Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management – School of Law University of the Witwatersrand, 2017 / This dissertation interrogates whether there is an irresoluble conflict between the traditional form of protection offered to foreign investments under bilateral and multilateral investment treaties and the right and responsibility of states to regulate in the public interest. It examines the criticisms against the traditional form of protection under such treaties, which have been voiced vociferously in the last few years, and contrasts these with the justifications for it. Ultimately, it appears that the protections and mechanisms for enforcement under investment treaties do act to curtail what would otherwise be legitimate exercises of sovereignty by host states and that this can have a significant chilling effect on a state's ability to implement important regulatory initiatives and policies. It also appears, however, that, although there is potential for tension between the protection of investments and the state's right and responsibility to regulate, this potential can be managed. This dissertation analyses the reaction of the South African government to the concerns it has with its investment treaties, which ultimately found expression in the arguably extreme decision to give notice of non renewal of a number of its investment treaties and the adoption of domestic legislation which provides an undeniably diluted form of protection. This reaction leaves much to be desired and will ultimately have negative consequences of its own. It can be contrasted with that of other actors within the international arena who, whilst also harbouring concerns about the potential incursion of investment treaties into their regulatory mandate, have taken proactive and innovative steps to reform and craft their investment protection obligations to ensure that they retain sufficient regulatory space, without attracting the negative consequences of a complete rejection of the prevailing system. States should recognise their ability to tailor their commitments to their specific and evolving needs and take steps to craft legal frameworks that will provide sufficient investment protection without too great an incursion on their regulatory responsibilities. / XL2018

TheRole of Collective Identity and Framing Processes in Advocacy Efforts to Implement Farm Animal Protection Policy:

Magner, Elizabeth J. January 2017 (has links)
Thesis advisor: Brian J. Gareau / This study explores efforts by the farm animal protection movement to pass anti-CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operation) farm animal protection legislation in Massachusetts and Rhode Island from 2012 to 2015, aiming to understand why successful outcomes were limited, through the theoretical lenses of collective identities and collective action frames. CAFOs, the predominant source of food animals in the United States, rear animals in intensely confined conditions, which raises significant animal welfare concerns, and also exact serious damage on workers, the environment, public health, and rural communities. Given the animal cruelty inflicted by CAFOs, animal protection organizations have invested much time and effort into passing legislation to ban intensive confinement practices, yet have encountered significant challenges in doing so in some states. This thesis aims to help explain why and how some of these challenges arise, and how they might be avoided or overcome in future efforts. To this end, I describe the collective identities of Massachusetts and Rhode Island farmers and professional farm animal advocates, and analyze the ways that these collective identities interact with and inform framing strategies. I conclude that some elements of the farm animal advocate identity conflict with farmer collective identity, and, further, that consequent advocacy framing strategies at times significantly hinder attempts to pass farm animal protection legislation.

Venture capital in China: improving the legal framework on the basis of the U.S. experience. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collection

January 2010 (has links)
Although China's legal and policy environment for the VC industry is improving, Chinese policy makers who wish to promote the VC in China need to increase the regulatory supply of and legal demand for VC. Against the background of this study of the experiences of the U.S. VC industry, it becomes clear that some VC legal techniques employed in the U.S. should be adopted in China. Based on the lessons learned in the U.S., China should improve its financial liberalization, create new legal techniques for VC governance in ventures, promote its exit channels, and provide a proper stimulus policy. / Since the future of China's VC industry is likely follow the model presented by the VC industry in the U.S., which is seen by most commentators as the best VC industry in the world, China should study the important lessons learned in the century of VC legal experiences in the U.S. This study compares the Chinese VC legal system with that of the U.S. in four aspects: funding, governance in ventures, exits, and stimulus. / The main problems of China's VC legal system include those of fundraising, overly complex foreign VC investment restrictions, limited exit channels, and ineffective governmental stimulus. In an attempt to solve these problems, this study examines six key factors that influence the nature and performance of a proper VC legal framework. These factors include the formation and fundraising of VC firms, the usual life cycle of VC investment, the impact of economic and political policy on VC development, the governance of ventures, an established financial market, and governmental VC stimulus. / Venture capital (VC) is the investment by a financial firm in high-growth, high-risk, and high-tech private start-ups for high returns in the future. Since the importance of VC for the high technology sector and the economy as a whole has been widely accepted in China, it follows that a successful VC industry is an important tool for China to further develop and strengthen its economy and high technology industry. A well designed legal system will attract more investors to engage in China's VC industry, while a poorly designed legal regime will throw obstacles in the way of investments for the industry. This study offers evidence on how a proper legal framework may be established for China's VC industry. / Zhang, Zhang. / Advisers: David Donald; Xi Chao. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-01, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 260-281). / Electronic reproduction.
