My papers and publications

Hi everyone!

I´m Claudio Gorenman, from Argentina. I just finished my LLM in International Trade and Investment Law, at Universiteit van Amsterdam. It was by far one of the best experiences of my life. The city was incredible, the people were amazing. Highly advisable for anyone with a little itch to explore.

During the course of my Master, I wrote several papers on international trade and investment. I focused my work on issues affecting developing countries. The Doha Rounds, Free Trade Areas, and issues affecting the north - south relations. Some topics have also adressed questions on general Public International Law.

Most importantly, I wrote my thesis, which focused on integration in South America It engaged on an institutional analysis of Mercosur, the new Parliament and the Permanent Tribunal of Revision. It has been a true challenge to understand the institutional development of Mercosur. I´d like to thank Gabriel Duvidovich, brilliant Brazilian economist, for his permanent support.

Here is the list of my work:

1) The Transition of Mercosur towards Supranationalism (Thesis)

2) Is the WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism a better solution for intra-regional trade disputes?

3) International Investment and conflicting arbitral awards: The Argentina Case

4) Joint Consultation Procedures and Environmentally Sustainable Development: The Argentina-Uruguay Pulp Mills Case

5) Proliferation of FTAs and the weakening of multilateral commerce

6) Non-Product Related PPMs and ecolabeling

7) State Responsibility for Genocide: case note on Bosnia v. Serbia and Montenegro

8) Memorandum on International Responsibility for complicity to Genocide

9) The Status of the Ius Cogens doctrine in International Law
