Symposium to Examine International Tax Policy in the New Millennium

Is the current international tax regime flawed? Has the increased globalization of national economies raised questions about its viability? Will the principles upon which existing tax policy was built in the 1920's have to be modified to be effective in the new millennium? These issues will be the focus of a two-day symposium: "International Tax Policy in the New Millennium", at Brooklyn Law School on November 9-10.

The symposium will bring together leading scholars, policy makers, and practitioners in the tax arena to assess the viability of the international tax regime. Co-sponsored by the Law School's Center for the Study of International Business Law and the Brooklyn Journal of International Law, four panels of experts will offer analysis and commentary on:

The Nature and Effects of Globalization on International Tax Policy
Revisiting the Theory of International Income Taxation
U.S. Multinationals and International Competitiveness
The Pursuit of National Tax Policies in a Globalized Environment

Among the outstanding panelists participating in the Symposium are: Vito Tanzi, Director, Fiscal Affairs Department, International Monetary Fund; Michael J. Graetz, Justus S. Hotchkiss, Professor of Law, Yale Law School; David F. Bradford, Professor, Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, Princeton University; Kees van Raad, Professor of International Tax Law, University of Leiden, The Netherlands; H. David Rosenbloom, Partner, Caplin & Drysdale, Former International Tax Counsel, Department of the Treasury; Paul R. McDaniel, Professor of Law and Director of the International Tax Program at New York University School of Law; and Hugh J. Ault, Special Advisor, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development; Professor of Law, Boston College Law School.

The Symposium will run from 9:15 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on November 9 and from 9:45 until 4:45 on November 10 and will be held in the Subotnick Conference Center at Brooklyn Law School, 250 Joralemon Street.
