Messerlin, Paul Coghlan, Aaditya Mattoo, Stephen King , Ed Willet, Robert Albon, Rod Shogren, Geraldine Gentle , Jeff Carmichael, Tom Valentine , Neil Byron, Lisa Gropp, Kim Gusberti, Jeffrey Keddie , David Greig , Helen Lapsley, Alan Moran, Robe rt Fitzgerald, David Johnson, Pierre Sauvé , Karsten Steinfatt, Tony Warren, Alison Burrows , Will Martin, Philippa Dee, Kevin Hanslow and Tien Phamduc , published by the Productivity Commission and Australian National University, 2000, ISBN 1-74037-027-9, 454 pages, CHF 25.- In June 2000, the Productivity Commission and the Australian National University jointly hosted a conference in Canberra on the topic "Achieving Better Regulation of Services". The conference drew together Australian and international academics, industry participants and policy makers with an interest in regulatory issues. The purpose of the conference was to learn from experience around the world in how best to design and implement services regulation to ensure good outcomes, both nationally and internationally. The topics covered ranged from the rationales and objectives of regulation in areas such as competition, consumer protection and social policy, to issues to do with measuring the impacts of regulation (particularly on trade in services). This conference volume has been designed to capture the diversity of views, by reproducing the papers presented at the conference and the discussants' comments on those papers as well as providing summaries of the general discussion in each session. It is hoped that this will stimulate further research and help guide policy development in this important area. 3 - After Doha, The Changing Attitude & Ideas of the New WTO Round, by Terence Stewart (Lawyer), published by Transnational Publishers, 2002, ISBN 1-57105-5, 195 pages, CHF 68.- In a significant move to further the purpose of the World Trade Organization (WTO), a decision was reached at the Ministerial meeting in Doha, Qatar, to launch a new round of trade negotiations. Coming more than seven years after the Uruguay Round, the new round with a much heavier emphasis on issues of interest to developing nations will include various modifications to existing WTO agreements in the name of addressing "implementation" issues. The launch of the new round is heralded by many as significant considering the current state of world affairs and the WTO’s need to establish credibility after the Seattle debacle. This volume identifies the major elements of the upcoming negotiations and reviews the major decisions taken in Doha. Extensive appendices provide primary source documentation of Ministerial Declarations and Implementation Decisions. - 1 - 4 - Against the Dead Hand: The Uncertain Struggle for Global Capitalism, by Brink Lindsey (Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute in Washington D.C.), published by John Wiley, 2002, ISBN 0471442771, 336 pages, CHF 56.- A refreshing, insightful look into the political and economic dynamics driving globalization today. Globalization: it’s earlier than you think. That’s the provocative message of “Against the Dead Hand”, which traces the rise and fall of the century-long dream of central planning and top-down control, revealing the extent to which the “dead hand” of the old collectivist dream still shapes the contours of today’s world economy. Mixing historical narrative, thought- provoking arguments, and on-the-scene reporting and interviews, Brink Lindsey shows how the global economy has grown up amidst the wreckage of collectivism’s failures, detailing how that wreckage constrains the present and obscures the future. He conveys a clearer picture of globalisation's current state than does the current conventional wisdom, providing a framework for anticipating the future direction of the world economy. 5 - The Age of Villages: Small Village vs. The Global Village , by Alfredo Toro-Hardy (Venezuelan Ambassador to the United Kimgdom and the Republic of Ireland), published by Villegas Editores, 2002, ISBN 958-8160-15-4, 445 pages, CHF 135.- September 11, 2001 was a day that changed the world and will remain forever engraved on the memory of mankind. Its impact on the international order is now being felt on all levels. It seems that everything has been affected by the terrorist attacks that took place on that date: from the relationship between the State and the free market economy to the balance of power between Congress and the White House, the behaviour of the world's stock markets, the shape of international alliances and much, much more. At the moment the components of the inte rnational order are in movement, in an extremely fluid phase. When they are rearranged we will find ourselves in a world that will be very different to the one we knew before. Deeply significant as September 11 was, it nevertheless represented only one chapter in the story of the great conflict of our time: the confrontation between the global village and the small village, between the forces of uniformity and of diversity, between the homogenizing trends that seek to subdue everything that lies in their path and the currents of thought that value local identities, particularities and traditions. This book sets out to explore the nature of this great battle, the changes it has led to and the particular characteristics of these two irreconcilable factions of the contemporary world. 6 - Agreement Between the World Intellectual Property Organization and the World Trade Organization (1995); Agreement on Trade -Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement - 1994), published by WIPO, 1997, ISBN 92-805-0640-4, 166 pages, CHF 15.- Provisions mentioned in the TRIPS Agreement of the Paris Convention (1967), the Berne Convention (1971), the Rome Convention (1961), the Treaty on Intellectual Property in Respect of Integrated Circuits (1989), the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT 1994) and the WTO Dispute Settlement Understanding (1994). French and Spanish editions are also available. 7 - Agriculture and Trade Liberalisation: Extending the Uruguay Round Agreement, published by UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development), 2002, ISBN 9264197095, 160 pages, CHF 70.- - 2 - This report provides information on the average tariff levels and on the use of tariff-rate quotas, export subsidies and export credits by selected OECD countries for temperate -zone agricultural products. The implications of further liberalisation of the various instruments over the medium term are examined. The effects of further trade liberalisation of agricultural markets over the medium-term depend signific antly on the modalities and prevailing market conditions against which the liberalisation scenarios are compared. On market access, although the largest impact on world prices is from tariff reductions, each of the current trade policy instruments (i.e. out-of- quota tariffs, in-quota tariffs, and tariff-rate quotas) would have to be liberalised to obtain the greatest impact. On export subsidies, their current use is already at levels much lower than Uruguay Round commitments, and elimination would have modest effects for most commodities (except dairy products). This situation could change and further discipline on their use would prevent back -tracking. Export credits used by certain countries are also found to distort trade, although the effects on world markets and average prices remain relatively small, due to the small share of trade facilitated by these programmes and their small per-unit effect. Disciplines are necessary, however, to avoid even greater use of all forms of export competition policies. Countries have embarked on a new round of multilateral trade

  • Brussels-Bruges Report 2008
    INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON DIPLOMATIC TRAINING 36th Meeting of Deans and Directors of Diplomatic Academies and Institutes of International Relations College of Europe Brussels and Bruges 24 – 26 September 2008 The 36th Meeting of Deans and Directors returned to Europe with fond memories of the remarkable Meeting at Maputo in 2007. The co-chairs opened the meeting with renewed thanks and congratulations to the host institutions in Mozambique and South Africa. The College of Europe had organised a similarly innovative programme, commencing in the magnificent Egmont Palace in Brussels, and concluding in the calm beauty of the College in Bruges. In addition to being mounted in two centres, the programme offered for the first time the opportunity to pursue more than one theme, in a series of parallel workshops on current practical aspects of diplomacy. Paul Demaret, Rector of the College of Europe, welcomed Members to the meeting, observing that in troubled times it was more than ever the task of diplomacy to keep channels of communication open. The training of diplomats was central to that mission. Ambassador Jiři Gruša, Director of the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna, noted that diplomacy required an intimate alignment of expert knowledge and human skills, combining efficacy with ethics, economics with cultural awareness. Diplomatic academies harnessed old virtues – wisdom, balance, courage, moderation – to meet new challenges. The Forum had a special contribution to make, a global network of partners helping to forge common understanding and foster non-totalitarian mentality. Professor Casimir Yost brought greetings from one of the founding fathers of the Forum, Dean Peter Krogh, who on this occasion had shown once again strategic vision in putting domestic diplomacy ahead of international diplomacy.
