Intellectual Property Rights and International Trade: An Overview

0

cigionline.org –

There have been extraordinary changes in intellectual property (commonly referred to as IP) law and policy over the last 20 years, many as the result of their intersection with international trade and the numerous international trade agreements brought into force during this period. The increase in cross-border exchanges of goods, services, capital and knowledge is one reason for this shift; structural changes in all economies — with knowledge emerging as society’s most important tradable more...

Stealth Environmental Influences on Economic Migration in Egypt

0

cigionline.org –

This paper demonstrates that environmental factors are often the hidden cause of the migration of Egyptians from one region to another. The analysis is situated in the broader studies on migration, and also shows why the findings of this study are significant. The paper makes recommendations that will hopefully help policy makers in understanding the causes of environmental migration and assist them in developing policies to address the problem of environmentally induced migration in a more...

UN Peacekeeping: 20 Years of Reform

0

cigionline.org –

Peacekeeping is as old as the United Nations (UN). For many decades, it consisted essentially of the interposition of lightly armed troops to act as neutral observers of a truce or a peace agreement. The end of the Cold War opened a new chapter in the history of peacekeeping. Peacekeeping operations have expanded dramatically in the last two decades and are now multidimensional, with complex mandates in increasingly difficult, and often dangerous, environments.

Strategic Support to Security Sector Reform in Afghanistan, 2001-2010

0

This issue paper focuses on disarmament, demobilization and reintegration, in addition to police and army reform. Through two case studies, the paper considers the weaknesses of an SSR process driven by operational activities without a clear overall strategy. The Office of the National Security Council in the Afghan government, and its role in the lack of strategic more...

SSR Issue Paper: "Policing in Palestine: Analyzing the EU Police Reform Mission in the West Bank"

0

cigionline.org –

Police reform in the Palestinian Territories has faced many challenges. Rebuilding the police force in a post-conflict environment is not an easy task, and must take into account the community’s needs in order to build legitimacy. In 2006, the European Union Police Coordinating Office for Palestinian Police Support was established to support the short-term objectives of the Palestinian Civil Police and provide longer-term transformational change assistance. This paper, entitled "Policing in more...

International organizations and major aid donors have increasingly become more involved in the efforts to reform the security and justice institutions in developing countries over the past 20 years. This SSR Issue Paper focuses on the size of external support for SSR activities, showing that agencies often discuss the effectiveness of SSR programming without the benefit of a comprehensive system for tracking SSR assistance. It examines the information that is often used to demonstrate how more...

0

cigionline.org –

This policy brief considers Brazil’s emergence as an environmental donor, describes the Brazilian government’s environmental assistance plans and projects, and considers the progress to date. Although there is, at this point, more potential than fully realized results, the value of Brazilian development assistance has risen quickly, and indications suggest that Brazil is well positioned to play an increasingly significant role in contributing to global common goods.

The Future of Climate Negotiations after Cop 17: The Likelihood of Meaningful Action

0

cigionline.org –

Throughout two decades of climate negotiations, diplomats have invoked the phrase “common but differentiated responsibilities” — CBDR — as shorthand for the idea that while all countries need to take action on climate change, their actual responsibilities will differ, depending on how developed they are. Countries fell into one of two categories: industrialized or developed countries were considered wealthy and capable enough to have immediate legal obligations to reduce their greenhouse gas more...
