SUMMARY:The Law and Logics of Attribution: Constructing the Identity and Responsibility of States and Firms
DESCRIPTION:When private companies perform governmental functions and governments own companies\, which acts should be attributed to the state? Which should be attributed to the corporation? And whose religious beliefs\, speech rights\, and moral standing can those entities claim? \nIn international law\, scholars and practitioners struggle to attribute rights and responsibilities between state and private entities in areas as diverse as military contracting\, environmental accountability\, human rights\, international investment\, and cyber espionage and warfare. In the corporate governance realm\, attributing responsibility to entities is increasingly challenging in the context of globally dispersed corporate families with intricate parent-subsidiary structures; identity attribution has also produced headlining debates. \nWhile attribution questions fuel important conversations in both corporate and international law\, the two literatures are not often in conversation. Questions of attribution in both domains nevertheless are becoming more complex and urgent\, and the fields increasingly intersect: In some areas of law\, attribution doctrines must determine the dividing line between states and firms. Doctrines of attribution construct the public domain\, and thereby also the private. Attribution questions in both domains reinvigorate classic inquiries about the nature of a corporation\, the relationship between private entities and the state\, and the proper function of the law in mediating between the two. \nThis conference will draw together corporate and international legal scholars\, as well as thinkers outside the law\, in order to cross-pollinate these two fields and the questions at their intersection\, and to unearth promising theoretical tools. It will consider theoretical and doctrinal approaches to attribution\, potential consequences of these approaches\, and whether they may reconcile the ambiguities and deficiencies that drive current debates. The project aims to offer a new point of entry to enduring theoretical and doctrinal questions about the nature of corporations\, of states\, and of the relationship between them. It is particularly relevant at a time where corporations are “jurisdictionally ambiguous and spatially diffuse\,” states are deferential\, dependent or outflanked\, and multilateralism is at an ebb. \nThe virtual forum is co-sponsored by the American Society of International Law; the Society’s Interest Group on International Legal Theory;and the Dean Rusk International Law Center at the University of Georgia School of Law.

SUMMARY:How Supply Chains and Data Science Are Preparing for Disruption
DESCRIPTION:In September 2019\, the Supply Chain & Logistics Society and Data Science & Analytics Society teamed up to discuss where Big Data and Analytics were being applied in supply chain. Much of the esteemed panel discussed disruptions globally. Little did the world realize the most acute\, global disruption would occur only months later with COVID-19. \nSix months after much of the US and world initially shutdown\, supply chains have had to quickly adjust to our “new normal”. Data science and analytics are paving the way to help supply chains adapt—not only to current challenges but in preparation for future disruptions. \nLearn how some of the leading\, global organizations are enabling supply chains with data science to not only survive the current global pandemic but also to thrive in the future.
