IN THIS ISSUE OF FOCUS on TRADE
This issue of Focus on Trade includes a back-of-the envelope calculation of the state of play in Geneva, Walden Bello's rally-cry to the peace activists in Korea to link with the global movement and an analysis of the recent state election in Gudjarat by Raghav Narsalay. Aileen Kwa goes face-to-face with Messrs. Supachai and Harbinson and Peter Wahl assesses the European Social Forum. And finally, Bill Robinson provides a fine overview of an extraordinary year in Latin America (even before the current stand-off in Venezuela and the victory of Gutierrez in Ecuador) which includes the brilliantly succinct assessment of Lula's victory in Brasil: “It symbolizes,” he says, “the end of the reigning neo-liberal order but also the limits of parliamentary changes in the era of global capitalism.”
