At the turn of the last century, Japan was the first country outside Europe to break into the ranks of the great powers. Yet even until the Second World War, international affairs were largely Eurocentric in composition, concern, and agenda. There are many more actors today, and their patterns of interaction are far more complex. In 1950, the soldier and the diplomat could still be said to symbolize the two lead actors on the world stage. In 2000, the interna- tional peace-keeper, financier, and NGO activist have noisily clambered aboard as well—not to mention the terrorist, the drug smuggler, and the currency speculator. The national bureaucrat must work alongside the international civil servant. The United Nations International organizations touch our daily lives in myriad ways. They are an essential means of conducting world affairs more satisfactorily than would be possible under conditions of international anarchy or total self-help. The United Nations lies at their legislative and normative centre. One hundred years ago, although a considerable body of discourse and proposals had been advanced, the first large general international organi- 1 2 RAMESH THAKUR zation had not yet been established. Although the League of Nations died under the weight of the Second World War in the middle of the twentieth century, the idea of a universal organization dedicated to protecting peace and promoting welfare—of achieving a better life in a safer world, for all—survived the death, destruction, and disillusionment of the war. The threshold of the new millennium is also the cusp of a new era in world affairs. In this period of transition, the United Nations is the focus of hopes and aspirations for a future where men and women live at peace with themselves and in harmony with nature. The Charter of the United Nations, which codifies best-practice state behaviour, was a triumph of hope and idealism over the experience of two world wars. The flame flickered in the chill winds of the Cold War, but did not, and must not, die out. The global public goods of peace, prosper- ity, sustainable development, and good governance cannot be achieved by any country acting on its own. The United Nations is still the symbol of our dreams for a better world, where weakness can be compensated by justice and fairness, and the law of the jungle replaced by the rule of law. The sad reality is that the twentieth century was the most murderous on record. The need for international assistance in many continents is an unhappy reminder of man’s inhumanity against fellow man and his rapa- ciousness against nature. Furthermore, almost three billion people living in abject poverty will have had neither the spirit nor the means to cheer the arrival of the new millennium. In consolidating gains and mitigating setbacks, sustained success re- quires us all to make a greater commitment to the vision and values of the United Nations, and to make systematic use of the UN forum and modali- ties for international collaboration. UNU mission and roles The United Nations University is an institution, based in Japan but with a global reach and network, that is engaged with the world of problem- solving scholarship through the United Nations system and beyond. Its mission is to contribute, through research and capacity-building, to ef- forts to resolve the pressing global problems that now concern the United Nations, its Member States, and their peoples. The forward-looking, problem-solving orientation of the United Na- tions University distinguishes its work from that of traditional universi- ties. It eschews basic research for its own sake, focusing instead on edu- cation and research for the United Nations, the international scientific community, and the people of the world. It tries to bring the state of sci- entific scholarship to bear on problems of international public policy. INTRODUCTION 3 Knowledge and information are said to be power. Over the course of the millennium, there has occurred the progressive democratization, secu- larization, and universalization of knowledge. Previously it was restricted to a narrow circle of courtiers and/or members of the religious hierarchy and served to reinforce the social status and authority of the elite. Today it is a basic right, an entitlement owed to everyone as a human being. Literacy in the industrialized world is universal. Among developing coun- tries, it is increasingly seen as a prerequisite for, as well as an indicator of, development. Scientists emphasize complexity and nuance and eschew simplistic solutions based on simple-minded analyses. The scholar is more comfort- able with the subtle footnote than with the soundbite. Policy-makers demand instant prescriptions within the urgency of real-time constraints and incomplete information. They abhor jargon. The taxpayer supports university research—in many countries directly, through publicly funded educational institutions, and in some cases indirectly, through the provi- sion of public goods without which the private sector could not run uni- versities at a reasonable cost. The millennium conference The United Nations University is all about bridging the gap: between theory and practice, scholarship and diplomacy, and the United Nations and the world community of scholars; between governments, non- governmental organizations (NGOs), and people. The landmark millen- nium conference of January 2000—where the papers in this volume were initially presented—was an important demonstration of how the United Nations University can implement its mandate with respect to its many constituencies. The conference had three integral and complemen- tary elements that were organized to create new ideas and fresh thinking relevant to the United Nations and, in a wider sense, to the challenges faced by humanity.

  • Development Financing
    DRAFT, FOR COMMENTS ONLY NOT FOR CITATION Half a Century of Proposals for ‘Innovative’ Development Financing Barry Herman Background Paper World Economic and Social Survey 2012 2 20 July 2012 HALF A CENTURY OF PROPOSALS ON ‘INNOVATIVE’ FINANCING FOR DEVELOPMENT Barry Herman 1 Abstract This paper recalls the history of proposed “innovative” mechanisms by which governments could strengthen financial cooperation for development. Such proposals sought more predictable and assured financial flows to facilitate recipient country programming, while also substantially adding to the volume of highly concessional international support for development. International discussions of these proposals mostly began in the 1960s and in many cases continue today, although implementation thus far has been modest. These discussions are contrasted with generally more recent proposals that proponents call “innovative” but that do not share the characteristics of the more radical thinking underlining the older proposals. Governments, international institutions, civil society organizations and academic writers have been showing a growing interest in “innovative” financing for development in their discussions of international cooperation on economic, social and environmental policy matters. Although the term “innovative” connotes something recently invented, many of the proposals that carry that name today have a long history, most of it in the political wilderness. Today some of the old as well as new “innovations” are somehow being implemented on a limited basis or discussed in national legislative bodies, as the term “innovative financing” gains a positive political connotation and broader endorsement. Nevertheless, different parties have different concepts in mind about what makes an initiative “innovative.” Definitions are “by definition” arbitrary, but, it seems the term has become so elastic that it has lost any hope of a precise meaning.

Trivia About The Sorrows of Em It is not a pretty story. Reminding us of the classic warnings against militarism—from George Washington's farewell address to Dwight Eisenhower's denunciation of the military-industrial complex—Johnson uncovers its roots deep in our past. Dangerous Women 3. Strength of the street: Karachi - Kamran Asdar Ali. Share Tweet. I know, a crazy idea, but stick with me, if only to amuse me. It is here that the book reads with an anti-capitalist tome, which is relevant for the subject of exploitation yet so too would the command economy that helps to fund the military and constrains the populaces of the domestic and foreign people subjugated to rule. Sorrows of Empire, indeed. Oh, yeah, that's why It often has a lot of unnecessary detail, and lacks a clear structure. Johnson often conflates the economic lure of open trade with imperial coercion. Are we heading for a military takeover by the pentagon? Oh, and by the way, just in case you are ever asked. This is likely a reflection of the expansive nature of the history of the US empire.

  • 1 Introduction: Concepts of Globalization There Have Been
    Introduction to Luke Martell, The Sociology of Globalization, 2010, pre-publication version. Introduction: Concepts of Globalization There have been many trends in sociology in recent decades. These have varied from country to country. One was a concern with class and social mobility from the 1950s onwards, in part evident in debates between Marxists and Weberians. In the ‘60s and ‘70s feminists argued that such debates had marginalised another form of social division, gender inequalities. Feminism grew in influence, itself being criticised for failing to appreciate other divisions, for instance ethnic inequalities identified by those with postcolonial perspectives. In the 1980s this concern with differences was highlighted in postmodern ideas, and the power of knowledge was analysed by theorists like Michel Foucault. In the 1980s and ‘90s a more homogenising idea came to the fore, globalization. This also then went on to stress local difference and plurality. The themes of globalization were not new, but the word and the popularity of the idea really came to the fore in the 1980s (an early mention is in Modelski 1972). Why did globalization become a popular idea? One reason is the rise of global communications, especially the internet, which made people feel that connections across the world were flowing more strongly, speedily and becoming more democratic. With the end of the cold war it seemed that the bipolar world had become more unified, whether through cultural homogenisation or the spread of capitalism. People became more conscious of global problems, like climate change. Economic interdependency and instability were more visible. Money flowed more freely and national economies went into recession together in the 1970s and again 30 years later.
