The trend towards private philanthropic foundations has seen some of the worlds most powerful past and present leaders lending business and political clout to public-private partnerships for international development. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the worlds largest private philanthropic foundation. Since its inception in 2000, the foundation has pledged in excess of US$21 billion in grants to projects across the US and in more than 100 countries. Founded in 1998 by the Executive Chairman of the World Economic Foundation, Klaus Schwab, and his wife Hilde, the Schwab Foundation promotes social entrepreneurship as a catalyst for social innovation and progress.

Three of the four stories about trade development in this magazine relate to fashion. One relates to food aid. All show that small firms in developing countries can grow their business through exports. They also show the UN working in the world's poorest communities to create sustainable jobs and incomes. Fashion offers the same type of market-driven, sustainable development opportunities. The opportunities are linked to a broader trend: organic food, fair trade labels and corporate social responsibility initiatives have been around for some time. Fashion markets, which value originality and exclusivity, allow countries to build on and pull together what makes them unique. But making the leap to break into and keep supplying such sophisticated markets is not always easy. A thorough know...

India, Brazil and South Africa belong to the most intractable blocking actors in the Doha Round. In order to explain this posture, reference is frequently made to the lack of willingness to compromise on the part of the other central actors EU and USA. In addition, the three countries' interests in the construction of an alliance of the South are cited as motivation for blocking the negotiations. This paper, however, accepts that trade policy is a two-level game and shows that the configurations of national decision processes in India, Brazil and South Africa and the resulting influence of specific interest groups significantly contribute to consolidating the blockade position. Against this backdrop, the authors are sceptical about the prospects of a compromise solution to the Doha Round.

By adopting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on Dec 10, 1948, the relatively small UN family of 56 states concretized their belief in the "equal rights of men and women." But despite the charter's noble commitment to upholding the inherent dignity of every human being, the UN General Assembly noticed that women continued to lag behind men in their enjoyment of economic, social, cultural, political and civil rights. This realization led the UN in 1979 to adopt the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women. In order to effectively integrate women into mainstream trade policies, policymakers must fully understand the economic implications of the Convention and engage in a "constructive dialogue" with gender experts. To end marginalization of women ...
