This is the programme's 2nd global stakeholders meeting that WHO has organized, and we are delighted to see so many of you here in Bangkok. This is a real sign that transparency in the pharmaceutical sector is an area of increasing interest for our stakeholders and that more and more countries are keen to work in this challenging, but rewarding area. The theme of the meeting is "Transparency for Change". I can promise you that the next three days will be full of learning and networking opportunities for you all, with the opportunity to review experiences and to learn from each other. We have an impressive line up of eminent speakers who will share their insights into today’s issues and challenges. Our speakers will not only increase our knowledge of the world of good governance in general, and of the medicines area in particular, but our inten- tion is that they will also motivate us to increase our efforts to improve the situation in the pharmaceutical sector when we leave Bangkok and return to our various work settings. The goal is eventually to offer a process for long-lasting change - for all of us to mobilize a "call for action" to meet the challenges ahead, and ultimately to help make quality essential medicines accessible and affordable for all. Having launched its programme in 2004, WHO remains committed to promoting good governance for medicines in the future. It will do so by further refining its policy and technical guidance and by providing technical support to countries who request it. WHO will also continue to act as a facilitator to bring all the key stakeholders together on a regular basis to provide this platform to exchange experiences and network. We would like to thank our hosts, the Thai Ministry of Public Health, as well as WHO’s Country Office in Bangkok and the WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia for 8 their valuable support. The conference would not have been possible without their dedication and hard work in the last few months. And finally, I thank everyone for coming - panellists, moderators and participants. I hope you have an enjoyable and rewarding time with us. If you need assistance of any kind, please contact one of our team members, who will be making themselves known to you. I look forward to meeting you, Dr Hans V. Hogerzeil Director Medicines Policy and Standards World Health Organization 9 WELCOME TO THE KINGDOM OF THAILAND AND ITS CAPITAL BANGKOK Did you know that there are more than 10 million people living in Bangkok? Or, did you know that the locals call Bangkok “Krung Thep” which means the City of Angels? Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok, has changed into a modern, exciting and sophisti- cated city. It offers to visitors not only the cosmopolitan amenities they would expect from other big cities, but also a unique treasure trove of cultural attractions. Bangkok offers visitors the opportunity to experience a fascinating glimpse of Thailand’s gentle culture amidst the bustle of a great and dynamic metropolis. Interesting facts — did you know that . ? • Siam changed its name in 1939 to Thailand, meaning “land of the free”. • 75% of the people living in Thailand are Thai, 14% are Chinese and 11% other nationalities. • there are 400 glittering Buddhist temples in Bangkok. • there are 3.8% Muslims in Thailand, 0.1 Hindus, 0.5% Christians, 0.6% other religions and 95% Buddhists. • Bangkok has developed into one of the most popular shopping locations in Asia. • Bangkok was founded in 1782 by the first monarch of the present Chakri dynasty and it is today a constitutional monarchy. • Skytrain fares cost between 10 Baht and 40 Baht per person depending on the distance, about one third the cost of a comparable taxi ride. • Thailand has 3290km of coastline. • taxis outnumber private cars 2:1 in Bangkok and most journeys can be completed for well under 100 Baht. Make sure you take a genuine taxi with a taxi meter. • one US dollar is equal to approximately 30 Baht. • the Thai language is similar to Tai, the language spoken by the people who live in Southern China. • King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the beloved king of Thailand, is going to be 80 years old on December 5th. He was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, and edu- cated in Lausanne in Switzerland. 10 Your Small English – Thai Dictionary: ENGLISH THAI Good morning, Good evening, Good afternoon, Good sa-wat-dee night, Hello Hello (male speaker) sawatdee krup Hello (female speaker) sawatdee kaa Yes chai No mai Mr./Miss/Mrs. khun How are you? sabai dee reu Fine thanks sabai dee Where is the rest room? hong nam yoo tee nai I am going to . chan-cha-pai .

Quaderno, nel suo significato etimologico, sta ad indicare un foglio piegato in quattro, un taccuino su cui si appuntano note e memorie per ricordare i passaggi sa- lienti di quello che si è detto, o che si vuole dire, e di quello che si è fatto, o che si vuole fare. È questa la funzione che noi vorremmo avessero i Quaderni del Csal: da una parte essere uno strumento agile di discussione, che miri agli aspetti essenziali del dibattito in corso con approfondimenti e riflessioni su tematiche specifiche riguardanti l’America Latina nelle sue relazioni con il mondo; dall’altra un documento in diveni- re, aperto a contributi successivi e mai definitivi, di studiosi e cultori delle questioni latinoamericane nel loro intrecciarsi con le dinamiche globali. Le proposte di pubblicazione vengono sottoposte al vaglio della direzione e alla valu- tazione di almeno due referee anonimi italiani e/o stranieri (double-blind international peer review).

  • Russell F. Farnen Preface
    19 Russell F. Farnen Preface This book is a direct result of two particular events (namely, the Research Committee on Political Education's panel contributions to the International Political Science Association's XV World Congress in Buenos Aires, Ar- gentina, July 21-25, 1991, and the IPSA/RCPE international round table conference, "Reconceptualizing Political Education and Political Socializa- tion for the 21st Century," held in Boca Raton, Florida, USA, January 7-11, 1992). The papers either distributed or presented at the latter conference comprise the bulk of this book, with only a few coming from the IPSA World Congress. Since not all of the contributions could be included in this volume because of space restrictions, only those which focussed on politi- cal culture, socialization, cognitions, and/or education are presented here for the sake of conceptual and theoretical unity. This book, then, would not have been produced were it not for these two conferences. Therefore, we are all particularly indebted to the panel chairs and organizers who gathered these groups of fine scholars and their profes- sional products together so that we may share the benefits of international research on a common set of themes. In this regard, we are all especially grateful to Professors Bernhard Claussen of Hamburg (FRG) and Suna Kili of Bogazici (Istanbul, Turkey) Universities for their conference organizing work, while they served as the RCPE chair and co-chair persons, respec- tively, until 1991. Professor Daniel B. German of Appalachian State Uni- versity (Boone, NC, USA) also assisted these efforts - gathering papers, diskettes, and mailing lists and attending to other conference planning es- sentials so that both these RCPE-sponsored activities came to pass.

The majority of population is Christian Orthodox (86.5% in 2011) and according to the most recent census from 2011 (National institute of sta- tistics, 2013) besides Romanians (88.9% in 2011) there are two main ethnic minorities: Hungarian (6.5%) and Roma (3.3%). The total popula- tion residing in Romania is of 20.1 million inhabitants, down from 21.7 in 2002 and 23.1 in 1990. In 2012 its Gross domestic product (Gdp) per capita (Pps) reached half of the Eu average (Eurostat database). Adminis- tratively, Romania is divided in 41 counties plus 6 districts of the capital city, Bucharest (Nuts 3 level) and 8 regions (Nuts 2). * University of Bucharest, Romania, e-mail: [email protected]. 65 Quaderni del Csal - 3 1.

  • Changes in Work Ethic in Postsocialist Romania
    Monica Heintz Changes in Work Ethic in Postsocialist Romania PhD thesis University of Cambridge 2002 Acknowledgements This study is a result of two distinct intellectual projects: one is concerned with giving an interpretation of the Romanian socio-economic crisis in its ethical aspects, the other with the development of social anthropology over time. The two projects could not develop independently and the study was conceived as an inseparable unit. A number of people had a direct or indirect influence on this work. I would like to thank first my supervisor Dr. Frances Pine who has been a constant support and inspiration. Also in Cambridge Prof. Marilyn Strathern, Prof. Alan Macfarlane, Dr. Suzanne Hoelgaard have helped me clarify important points during the development of my work. I owe much to my fellow students in the writing up seminar, especially for their discussions on methodological issues. Special thanks are due to my first readers, my own parents and to my husband Christophe Heintz. I could not imagine how the thesis could have been written without Christophe’s critical eye on the logic of the argument and for his much appreciated discussions on numerous field facts. Finally Laura and Henri, my only children at the time, should be especially thanked for putting up with an increasingly absent-minded mother. If I dedicate this work it would be however to those who have inspired it most directly, the people whom I am referring to in the next pages. Abstract My research aims to explain a double phenomenon: the first is Romania’s social- economic crisis, the second the popularity of explaining this crisis by reference to the Romanian ‘mentality’ (in Levy-Bruhl’s sense).
