Full Court Press: Preventing Foreign Adversaries from Exfiltrating National Security Technologies Through Bankruptcy Proceedings

While an important part of US innovation and culture, bankruptcy proceedings have nonetheless become a unique avenue through which foreign adversaries are able to acquire sensitive US national security-related technology and intellectual property. Through a detailed analysis of the current gaps in federal regulations governing foreign investment and bankruptcy proceedings in the US, Camille Stewart provides the reader an in-depth look into exactly how foreign companies have been able to circumvent these US foreign investment regulations.

Journal of National Security Law & Policy, 10:1

Vol. 10, No. 1 of JNSLP features articles spanning nuclear non-proliferation to the role of human behavior in national security decisionmaking.

The issue opens with a critical look at the development and performance of the UN Security Council Resolution 1540 regime. 10:1 also includes an analysis of the conflicting and unclear state of authorities within the Intelligence Community, an article examining the role of the “prominence effect” in national security decisionmaking, and an overview of the US military’s position on climate change.

10:1 also provides perspectives on issues related to emerging technology, including a proposal for a new exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act to address the cyber threat and an overview the potential legal, policy, and ethical challenges that will arise as governments inevitably begin to employ artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to inform their use of force decisions.

Two book reviews examine Professor Eric K. Yamamoto’s timely book In the Shadow of Korematsu: Democratic Liberties and National Security and retired Brig. Gen. Kenneth Watkin’s new study, Fighting at the Legal Boundaries: Controlling the Use of Force in Contemporary Conflict.
