Canada's NATO commitment: current controversies, past debates, and future issues: since the conflict in Kosovo, we can probably expect the familiar debates about Canada's involvement in NATO to continue, as issues of cost-effectiveness, democracy, and constructive engagement remain unresolved.

Perspective

Micro-credit, poverty and development: the case of Bangladesh: very small loans used to encourage entrepreneurs in the Third World are being hailed by some as a powerful tool in the eradication of poverty. One of the founders of micro-credit describes what it is doing for the people of Bangladesh.
