Ec-Funded Mine Action In Latin America Volume 2 - Country Reports, Russell Gasser Jan 2008

Ec-Funded Mine Action In Latin America Volume 2 - Country Reports, Russell Gasser

Global CWD Repository

The EC Anti-Personnel Landmine Regulation of 2001 mandated evaluations of EC Mine Action strategy every three years. The first report was a Global Evaluation published in 2005, but this report forms one part of the 2008 evaluation by regions and covers Latin America, 2002-2007.

Order Without (Enforceable) Law: Why Countries Enter Into Non-Enforceable Competition Policy Chapters In Free Trade Agreements, D. Daniel Sokol Jan 2008

Order Without (Enforceable) Law: Why Countries Enter Into Non-Enforceable Competition Policy Chapters In Free Trade Agreements, D. Daniel Sokol

UF Law Faculty Publications

There has been an explosion in the past ten to fifteen years of bilateral and regional free trade agreements in Latin America (together, preferential free trade agreements or PTAs). The purpose of PTAs is to increase trade, regulatory, and investment liberalization. As trade liberalization requires more than just a reduction of tariffs, PTAs include "chapters" in a number of areas of domestic regulation. These chapters that address domestic regulation create binding commitments to liberalize domestic regulation that may impact foreign trade. Among chapters that address domestic regulation, many of the Latin American PTAs include a chapter on antitrust or competition …


Draft For The Energy Policy Of The Republic Of Haiti, Bureau Des Mines Et De L'Energie Jan 2008

Draft For The Energy Policy Of The Republic Of Haiti, Bureau Des Mines Et De L'Energie

Latin American Energy Dialogue, White Papers and Reports

Due to the fact that Haiti faces several years in a major energy crisis, largely due to the lack of a national energy policy expressing a coherent vision and objectives and clear guidance, this document was made to fill this need. In particular it targets the status of the country's energy independence, the source of energy sources and the distribution of consumption; the level of access to energy resources and delivery standards; conservation actions and control of environmental effects; and the incentives to stimulate the energy market. It also promotes research and development operations of renewable energy resources available in …

United States Cold War Policy, The Peace Corps And Its Volunteers In Colombia In The 1960s., John James

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
