Eric By Berman with Louisa N. Lombard report on the volume, origins, and distribution of small arms in any African state. But it goes beyond the focus on small arms. It also provides a much-needed backdrop to the complicated political convulsions that have transformed CAR into a regional tinderbox. There is no better source for anyone interested in putting the ongoing crisis in its proper context.’ —Dr René Lemarchand Emeritus Professor, University of Florida and author of The Dynamics of Violence in Central Africa ’The Central African Republic, surrounded by warring parties in Sudan, Chad, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, lies on the fault line between the international community’s commitment to disarmament and the tendency for African conflicts to draw in their neighbours. The Central African Republic and Small Arms unlocks the secrets of the breakdown of state capacity in a little-known but pivotal state in the heart of Africa. It also offers important new insight to options for policy-makers and concerned organizations to promote peace in complex situations.’ —Professor William Reno Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies, Department of Political Science, Northwestern University Photo: A mutineer during the military unrest of May 1996.

These were collected by M. V . C. Falanruw on a trip to Pagan Island in April, 1979. The new island records are presented below , along with some nomenclatural and taxonomic corrections to our 1975 list .

The Government of the People' s Republic of Bangladesh has prepared the following report in fulfilment of the consultations required under Article XVIII:B on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. 2. The consultations are prompted by trade readjustment measures adopted by Bangladesh Government with a view to coping with its balance-of-payments situation while maintaining the rate of development of the economy of the country. 3. These measures, although designed to achieve the purposes indicated above, nevertheless left provision for a substantial increase in imports of capital goods. The Banladesh Government has thus sought expansion in its external trade in line with the country's development needs keeping in view the principles of the GATT. 4. It would appear from the import program of Bangladesh as stated below that the imports of Bangladesh are non-discriminatory and the measures are short term subject to review at regular intervals. Economic Situation during 1979-80 The overall economic situation in the country was satisfactory during 1979-80. According to the preliminary estimates the gross domestic product at constant factor cost of 1972-73 is expected to rise by 6.1 per cent compared to 4.0 per cent achieved during 1978-79. During the year under review the agricultural 'sector is expected to contribute about 54.58 per cent of gross domestic product.
