[Adre] is situated on the border of Sudan in the sub-Sahara. MSF has been here since 2004. The current MSF team is quite diverse. We are 12 people, a mix of medical, logistical and administrative staff from all over the world: Ivory Coast, Guinea, France, Uzbekistan, Switzerland, Italy and Canada. Christmas here will probably be a mix of everyone's traditions. We have already started a ration of cheese, wine, chocolate and foie gras and will all certainly be awaiting parcels from home. As most of the population is Muslim, the local festivities will take place shortly before Christmas. So if security permits and there are no urgencies at the hospital, we plan to have a picnic, including the traditional feast of sheep cooked in the ground with a couscous stuffing and a good game of petanq...

Two full-blown crises, in Lebanon and Iraq, are merging into a single emergency. A chain reaction could spread quickly almost anywhere between Cairo and Bombay. Turkey is talking openly of invading northern Iraq to deal with Kurdish terrorists based there. Syria could easily get pulled into the war in southern Lebanon. Egypt and Saudi Arabia are under pressure from jihadists to support Hezbollah, even though the governments in Cairo and Riyadh hate that organization. Afghanistan accuses Pakistan of giving shelter to al-Qaida and the Taliban; there is constant fighting on both sides of that border. NATO's own war in Afghanistan is not going well. India talks of taking punitive action against Pakistan for allegedly being behind the Mumbai bombings. Uzbekistan is a repressive dictatorship ...

The retreat from Kabul was perhaps the most humiliating moment in the military history of the Soviet Union -- it was one of the most humiliating moments in any version of global military catastrophes. Canadians should remember that, try to keep the image in their minds of that last Russian scuttling across the Friendship Bridge from hostile Afghanistan into the tranquil town of Termez in what is now Uzbekistan but was in 1989 still home to Soviet soldiers. One last look over his shoulder and he would be safe, unlike his many comrades in arms who died in Afghanistan -- Moscow's Vietnam -- more than a few of them on the long haul home. The Afghans were not about to let them go peacefully. Canadian soldiers do all of this and more. But they do it from the barrel of a gun, because Afghani...

The first thing that came to mind Wednesday as I sat at the University of Manitoba, listening to [Flora MacDonald] describe the Afghanistan that she knows, was: Wow, she's 82 and she's bombing around Afghanistan -- in a truck, with a friend, who is also attending to the gritty details of redevelopment in that country, visiting rural villages and checking out the northern borderlands abutting Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Ms. MacDonald, who still lives with the locals, sleeps on their floors and eats their humble meals, recalled being confronted by two Taliban on a street in 2001. "They came up to me and said they knew what I was doing." An arresting thought, given the brutal form of Shariah law administered by those who ran the repressive regime. The black-turbaned men had a deal she could...

This paper starts with a brief description of recent Russian economic and political developments and identifies the poor institutional capacity of the state as the major obstacle to growth. Then cross-country regressions are used to provide evidence for two arguments. First, the single most important factor limiting the inflow of FDI to Russia seems to be the inefficiency of the government - its inability to enforce rules and regulations. It is not the lack of the rule of law, or high level of corruption, or insufficient democratization, or low degree of economic freedom. Second, given the poor government effectiveness, the benefits of FDI are quite weak and may be outweighed by cost (repatriation of profits, but no transfer of technology).
