Conceptualizing unilateralism, fragmentationism and statism in a populism context – a rise of populist International Law?

Wei Shen, Carrie Shang

Resumo


The rise of populist governments around the world has attracted a great deal of attention from international law scholars. The field of international law witnesses a range of studies analyzing recent populist movements and their impact on international law, in particular, in the fields of trade, environment, human rights and migration. However, existing literature focusing on the Global South is scant. Nonetheless, as populism is essentially linked to nativism, jingoism, and authoritarianism, the South countries need to be investigated as well, given their close association with nationalism and localism especially when they came to participate in the rule-of-law dialogues. This article fills the gap by offering some insights to the understanding of populism from three perspectives: behaviors, regimes and actors, and cautions that populism places global justice and rule of law at a high stake of risk.

Due to President Trump’s displeasure with the Korea-US Free Trade Agreement (often referred to as KORUS), the US and South Korea renegotiated the agreement, which became Trump’s first trade deal. KORUS 2.0 is a tweak of the original KORUS but contains some major changes demanded by the US including steel export restrictions, a larger quota for U.S. cars exported to Korea that meet U.S. emissions and safety standards instead of Korea’s idiosyncratic rules, an extension of the duration of the U.S. 25% tariffs on imported pickup trucks, changes to rules on Korean medicine pricing, and new procedures for Korean customs inspections.

These non-US affiliates are located in 26 countries.

The restrictions were posted by the Department of Commerce on the Federal Register Notice on May 16, 2019. All items in the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce and EAR, a list of organizations as identified by BIS as engaging activities that could be contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States are included in the BIS list, and United States enterprises are banned from exporting to organizations on the Entity List.

BIS cited the 13 court indictment against Huawei accusing Huawei of willfully conducting and concealing millions of dollars’ worth of transactions in violation of US economic transactions against Iran. The indictment accuses certain non-US Huawei affiliates of having participated in the alleged criminal conduct.

The restrictions affect US subsidiaries of foreign companies which are US persons and US companies’ business with any foreign companies that have contracts with Huawei involving information or communications technology or services. The US-origin items can be located in the US or other places in the world, or exported from the US, or any foreign-made item with more than 25% US-origin content or 10% US-origin content for countries subject to US sanctions, or any foreign-made item that is the direct product of certain controlled US-origin software, technology, or major plant or equipment located abroad.

In the first 100 cases of ICSID, Latin American countries were concerned by 25 cases (8 cases for Argentina, 7 for Mexico, 3 in Venezuela and other countries with one). But in recent years, “ICSID has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of arbitrations where Latin American countries are respondents”. Katia Fach Gomez, Latin America and ICSID: David versus Goliath, Law and Business Review of the Americas 195, 195 (2011). For a total of 262 cases (indicated at ICSID website), Latin American countries are concerned by 81 cases (let say 30,9% of concluded cases): Argentina 25 cases, Mexico 13, Ecuador 10, Venezuela 11, Peru 6, Costa Rica 5, Bolivia, Chile and Honduras with 2 cases each, and El Salvador, Guatemala, Panama and Paraguay with one case each. There are 167 pending cases as of May 30, 2013, and the number of cases concerning Latin American Sates is 73, (let say 43.7% of the total number of pending cases): Argentina with 25 cases, Venezuela with 25, Peru 6, Ecuador and Guatemala with 3 each, Bolivia, Costa Rica and El Salvador and Paraguay with 2, Chile, Honduras, and Uruguay with one each.
