Books on the WTO have been rolling off the presses around the globe this past year, the organization's tenth anniversary, as any Internet search will show. Some are critical, some anecdotal and some impenetrably analytical. Few provide the insight on practical experience in negotiating entry and on drawing maximum advantage from membership that developing country diplomats and negotiators, business groups, individual firms, civil society bodies and even academics and specialist journalists often say they need. The studies show, the editors say, that joining the WTO and taking advantage of WTO membership is not something that can be left to governments alone. Success, as these and other cases show, is best guaranteed by involving all stakeholders in a single economy. Developing countries...

Even if you are Swedish, you probably don't have a clue why the holiday called "Kyndelsmässodagen" is listed on your modern wall calendar. Many holidays which were once widely celebrated have now been forgotten. To counteract this collective amnesia, Jalmar Staaf, a student at Konstfack, Stockholm's Universty College of Arts, Craft and Design, created an interactive webpage called "Holiday Clock.
My idea was to combine a strict textile for a public space with a feeling of home-like lace," says designer Eva Marmbrandt about her elegant "Lasercut Lace" vertical blinds. The blinds, made of polyester plastic, won the coveted Fresh Form award at this year's home decorating trade fair in Stockholm.

It's called Finnmarksvidda, a huge plain with mountains, rivers and lakes. The Sámi people, the Norwegian natives, have lived here for centuries. Their language, music and culture are distinctively different from the Norwegian. We're headed for Kautokeino, the biggest Sámi village, which is situated in the middle of Finnmarksvidda. About 6,000 people live here. Most are Sámis. Every Easter, young couples celebrate traditional Sámi weddings here. The celebrations last for two or three days.
In the Sámi community, it's accepted that Sámi people marry Norwegians. But half-Sámi, half-Norwegian Hanne Mari Kuhmunen, 19, who is the sweetheart of [Anna Kristine Sokki]'s brother Aslak, could never have chosen a non-Sámi.
The Sámi (Lapps) are the indigenous people of northern Scandinavia. Their ...
