Student Accomplishments
Juan Linares
Publications
His article, "The Development Dilemma: Reconciling U.S. Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America with Laborer's Rights: A Study of Mexico, The Dominican Republic and Costa Rica," has been published by the North Carolina Journal of International Law and Commercial Regulation. The premise of the article is that adherence to recognized labor rights and standards are essential to the attraction and maintenance of Foreign Direct Investment, and in turn, the economic well-being of both the United States and its Latin American neighbor countries. Accordingly, observance of workers' rights in Latin America is imperative for production to be considered legitimate. He originally wrote the paper for the LL.M. in International Business and Trade course Current Issues in IBT Law taught by Prof. Avramovich in Spring of '03
