e-infrastructure Roadmap for Open Science in Agriculture

A bibliometric study

The e-ROSA project seeks to build a shared vision of a future sustainable e-infrastructure for research and education in agriculture in order to promote Open Science in this field and as such contribute to addressing related societal challenges. In order to achieve this goal, e-ROSA’s first objective is to bring together the relevant scientific communities and stakeholders and engage them in the process of coelaboration of an ambitious, practical roadmap that provides the basis for the design and implementation of such an e-infrastructure in the years to come.

This website highlights the results of a bibliometric analysis conducted at a global scale in order to identify key scientists and associated research performing organisations (e.g. public research institutes, universities, Research & Development departments of private companies) that work in the field of agricultural data sources and services. If you have any comment or feedback on the bibliometric study, please use the online form.

Title

JACK BALKIN'S INTERACTION THEORY OF "COMMERCE"

en
Abstract

In his book, Living Originalism, Jack Balkin proposes what he calls the "interaction theory" of the original semantic meaning of the word "commerce" in the commerce clause. He claims that "commerce" meant "social interaction." In this Article, I explain why his theory is wrong due to errors of commission and omission. Balkin is wrong to reduce "commerce" to "intercourse," "intercourse" to "interaction," and "interaction" to "affecting." This triple reduction distorts rather than illuminates the original meaning of "commerce." Balkin furthermore omits from his discussion the massive amounts of evidence of contemporary usage-along with dictionary definitions of "intercourse" establishing that "commerce" referred to the trade or transportation of things or persons, and did not include such productive economic activity as manufacturing or agriculture, much less all social interaction. I also reply to Balkin's criticisms of my book, Restoring the Lost Constitution. In particular I explain why his heavy reliance on Gunning Bedford's resolution in the secret Philadelphia convention is misplaced in a discussion of the original meaning of the commerce clause.
