The latest episode of the armed conflict between Northern and Southern Sudan erupted in 1983 and ended with the signing of the "Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA)" in 2005. The CPA allows for a referendum on independence for South Sudan in 2011. A similar scenario is possible for Darfur, where an armed conflict broke out in 2003 over demands for greater decentralization and development in the region. The peace agreement between the central government and the Eastern Sudan region continues to be fragile and the risk of escalation of across the border spillovers of conflicts with Uganda and Chad persists.

refers to trade unification between different states by the partial or full abolishing of customs tariffs on trade taking place within the borders of each state. This is meant in turn to lead to lower prices for distributors and consumers (as no customs duties are paid within the integrated area) and the goal is to increase trade.

Free trade is treated as an idealistic option, and although ...

The media the press, everybody is talking about an India-China Free Trade Agreement (FTA)! The discussion, however, reflects a confusion between the need for increasing India-China trade and improving economic relations and the usefulness of an FTA. In WTO parlance an FTA means zero duties on all goods (with few exceptions). Further an FTA does not include Services, FDI or the movement of persons, issues of vital interest to India that would normally be covered in a CECA. An ICRIER working paper (No. 151) has shown that the highest un-exploited potential of India’s trade with any/all countries is with China. Her study ...

In the last decade, the notion that the Israeli system of political and military control bears strong resemblance to the apartheid system in South Africa has gained ground. It is invoked regularly by movements and activists opposed to the 1967 occupation and to various other aspects of Israeli policies vis-à-vis the Palestinian-Arab people. It is denounced regularly by official Israeli spokespersons and unofficial apologists. The more empirical and theoretical discussion of the nature of the respective regimes and their historical trajectories has become marginalized in the process. Only a few studies ...

A Preferential Trading Agreement (PTA ) is a union in which member countries impose lower trade barriers on goods produced within the union, with some flexibility for each member country on the extent of the reduction. A Free Trade Area (FTA) is a special case of PTA where member ...
I say hooray for Obama, he finally got something right! The reason being, not only hopefully the car companies that make the cars will hopefully be able to bring back some of their workers, but also the other company’s that make the plastic parts, the leather, the cloth, the tires, and other parts that go on the cars, will be able to bring back their people! This is what he should of done in the first place! What do you think? I say that it is a conflict of interest.... The US Government took over a portion of GM's stocks, which makes them part owner.
