Admittedly, a few nettlesome issues remain. First, about one-fourth of the global labour force is in China. Opposing steps toward the formation of unions there suppresses the wages of so many workers that its effect is felt worldwide. Second, since authoritarian China remains an adversary of the United States and a backer of some genuinely dangerous authoritarian regimes, blocking even the most modest steps toward the development of a civil society and democratic rights there poses a threat to U.S. security interests. Third, since the Bush administration champions the spread of democracy globally, why hasn't it taken America's leading corporations to task for retarding democracy's growth in China? And fourth, since preserving America's national security should require executives at comp...

Both Canada and the United States share an interest in seeing that their large numbers of immigrants are successfully settled in their new communities. This essay argues that immigrant settlement policy in both countries faces two important challenges in the post-9/11 world: (1) ensuring that the racialization of immigrants is avoided (especially in respect to Arabs and Muslims) in a period of preoccupation with security issues, and (2) the need to reorient understanding of immigrant settlement to come to terms with the increasingly transnational orientation of many international migrants. The essay sketches out the nature of these two challenges in both the United States and Canada, and offers some thoughts on what it will take to meet them in each country.

Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.

Clearly, the pressure is on. Western leaders are finally beginning to recognize that [Pervez Musharraf]'s regime has been unsuccessful in taming the Taliban, which has regrouped in the tribal areas of Pakistan while the military regime has given up trying to establish order on the Afghan border. Indeed, Pakistan's return to democracy is essential to America's success in South and Central Asia, as well as in the Middle East, as democratization is an integral part of fighting terrorism. Wouldn't it therefore be prudent to tie aid money to genuine political reform? Of course Musharraf's regime, to legitimize its coup and divert attention from the institutionalized corruption of the military, accuses Pakistan's secular, democratic parties of corruption. But according to Transparency Interna...
Regulating administrative monopoly is the major task of China's "anti-monopoly law" and the greatest challenge in its enforcement. "Anti-monopoly law" has done a special chapter on administrative monopoly for the first time, which is a significant breakthrough of our country's legislation on the regulation of administrative monopoly. But, after all, "anti-monopoly law" is a new law, and due to the limitations of legislation, there are many system deficiencies, on the regulation of administrative monopoly in China's "Anti-monopoly law", which make it can not fully come into play. So, it is necessary to perfect the measures that can make up for the system deficiencies.

Cynics think [Evan Bayh] was also worried about being beaten in November (though he was ahead in the polls). Yet the idea that America's democracy is broken, unable to fix the country's problems and condemned to impotent partisan warfare, has gained a lot of support lately. This dysfunctionality matters far beyond America's shores. A few years ago only Chinese bureaucrats dared suggest that Beijing's autocratic system of government was superior. Nowadays there is no shortage of leaders from emerging countries, or even prominent American businesspeople, who privately sing the praises of a system that can make decisions swiftly. So the basic system works; but that is no excuse for ignoring areas where it could be reformed. In the House the main outrage is gerrymandering. Tortuously shaped...
