Free Trade with a Human Face  
Jorge Castaneda
Project Syndicate
10/08/08
If the United States and Latin America can face up to the challenges of trade and immigration together, the next U.S. president may leave a weightier mark on the hemispheric relationship than any American leader in three generations.

The Difference Makers  
William C. Frederick 10/02/08
Sandra Waddock's book The Difference Makers tells the stories of nearly two dozen innovators who pioneered the corporate responsibility movement over the past quarter century.

Peace Breaks Out in the Taiwan Strait  
Sheridan Prasso 09/24/08
While the world's attention is focused on wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Georgia, a little-observed positive trend is taking place on the other side of the world: Peace has broken out in the Taiwan Strait.

The Digital War on Poverty  
Jeffrey Sachs

The Myth of the Nation-State  
Devin T. Stewart
Project Syndicate
09/02/08
The nation-state is an anachronistic myth that has helped fuel wars and that may hinder solutions to the world's biggest problems.

One Bed, Different Dreams  
James Farrer 08/28/08
The Japanese media consensus is that despite the organizational and aesthetic success of the Beijing Games, they are unlikely to produce the positive social and political benefits for China that were achieved by the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Meanwhile, most Japanese are also skeptical whether Tokyo can muster comparable vitality for its 2016 Olympic bid.

The Perfect Storm of a Global Recession  
Nouriel Roubini
Project Syndicate
08/22/08
The probability is growing that the global economy--not just the United States--will experience a serious recession.

Don't Cry for Doha  
Dani Rodrik
Project Syndicate
08/19/08
The Doha Round was constructed on a myth, namely that a negotiating agenda focused on agriculture would constitute a "development round."

Russia and Georgia: A Collision Waiting to Happen  
David Speedie 08/13/08
The table was set for the current outbreak of hostilities, which were preceded by violence in July in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. But the question remains: Why now?

The New MAD World  
Devin T. Stewart 08/08/08
Are we entering a new era where international noncooperation on global problems could become as lethal as warfare?

The Global Leadership Vacuum  
Jeffrey Sachs
Project Syndicate
08/01/08
The world needs global solutions for global problems, but the G8 leaders clearly aren't up to the task. A dose of basic management logic could help them establish goals, mobilize financing, and identify the scientific expertise and organizations best suited to implement solutions.
