THIS ARTICLE SUGGESTS THAT A MORE OPEN TRADING SYSTEM SHOULD SMOOTH THE WAY FOR THE INVESTMENT FLOWS DESPERATELY NEEDED BY DEVELOPING COUNTRY COMMODITY PRODUCERS. IT EXPLAINS DEPENDENCE ON COMMODITY EXPORTS, THE SOURCE OF THIS DEPENDENCY, AND THE COMMODITY CYCLE. IT ALSO EXAMINES HOW THE TERMS OF TRADE HAS AFFECTED COMMODITY GROWERS AND CONCLUDES THAT FOR DEVELOPING COUNTRY COMMODITY PRODUCERS THE AUGURIES ARE DISCOURAGING.

THIS ARTICLE EXPLORES THE REASONS FOR AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE DEFAULT OF THE INTERNATIONAL TIN COUNCIL ON THE ENORMOUS DEBT OWED TO BANKS AND METAL TRADERS. THE DEFAULT CAUSED THE TIN PRICE TO HALVE FROM $8140 A TONNE (A HIGH FIGURE HISTORICALLY). THOUSANDS OF MINERS LOST THEIR JOBS, EXPORT EARNINGS TUMBLED, AND SOME COUNTRIES, NOTABLY BOLIVIA, SLIDE INTO EVEN DEEPER POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC TURMOIL. THE LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES OF AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION DEFAULTING ON ENORMOUS DEBTS REACH FAR BEYOND THE NARROW CONCERNS OF THOSE IMMEDIATELY INVOLVED. FOR WHATEVER THE LEGAL RIGHTS AND WRONGS, THE MORAL DAMAGE CAUSED BY WHAT WILL TO MANY SEEM AN ABUSE OF POWER SHOULD BE CONSIDERABLE. SUCCESSFULLY PLEADING SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY AND EFFECTIVELY SAYING THAT THE ITC IS ANSWERABLE TO NO COURT ANYWHERE CANNOT BE PART OF THE NEW INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC ORDER WHICH UNCTAD SEEKS. EVEN AN OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT, WHICH IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY, WILL NOT REMOVE THE UNPLEASANT TASTE.

Extending Requirements Engineering modelling and formal analysis methodologies to cope with Security Requirements has been a major effort in the past decade. Yet, only few works describe complex case studies that show the ability of the informal and formal approaches to cope with the level complexity required by compliance with ISO-17799 security management requirements. In this paper we present a comprehensive case study of the application of the Secure Tropos RE methodology for compliance to the Italian legislation on Privacy and Data Protection by the University of Trento, leading to the definition and analysis of a ISO-17799-like security management scheme.

In 1985 the French government created a unique circuit for the dissemination of doctoral theses: References went to a national database "Téléthèses" whereas the documents were distributed to the university libraries in microform. In the era of the electronic document this French network of deposit of and access to doctoral theses is changing. How do you discover and locate a French thesis today, how do you get hold of a paper copy and how do you access the full electronic text? What are the catalogues and databases referencing theses since the disappearance of "Téléthèses"? Where are the archives, and are they open? What is the legal environment that rules the emerging structures and tools? This paper presents national plans on referencing and archiving doctoral theses coordinated by the government as well as some initiatives for creating full text archives. These initiatives come from universities as well as from research institutions and learned societies. "Téléthèses" records have been integrated in a union catalogue of French university libraries SUDOC. University of Lyon-2 and INSA Lyon developed procedures and tools covering the entire production chain from writing to the final access in an archive: "Cyberthèses" and "Cither". The CNRS Centre for Direct Scientific Communication at Lyon (CCSD) maintains an archive ("TEL") with about 2000 theses in all disciplines. Another repository for theses in engineering, economics and management called "Pastel" is proposed by the Paris Institute of Technology (ParisTech), a consortium of 10 engineering and commercial schools of the Paris region.
