When Northern Elephants Fight Over GMOs ...
Description
As the world's attention was focused firmly on the Cancun World Trade Organisation summit in September, an important international agreement quietly made its entry on the world stage, holding out immense implications for developing countries. The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which aims to regulate trade in genetically modified organisms (GMOs), came into force on 11 September after five-year-long negotiations over trade advantages and disadvantages - intractable North-South issues that are set to continue to bedevil the Protocol's implementation. This is highlighted most forcefully by the US move to take the European Union to the WTO dispute settlement mechanism over the EU's insistence that US exporters clearly label all GM food sold to Europe

Title: Dead Ends And New Beginnings
Author: P.Minster Meles Zenawi
The political and economic renaissance of Africa is an issue that continues to preoccupy Africans' and non-Africans alike. Various methods of achieving such a renaissance have been proposed. Most of these proposals are variations of the dominant neo-liberal paradigm of development. My argument is that the neo-liberal paradigm is a dead end, is incapable of bringing about the African renaissance, and that a fundamental shift in paradigm is required to bring about the African renaissance.

Title: Environmentally Sustainable Economic Development
Author: Dr. Asayehgn Desta
Description
Can sustainable economic development be achieved without strong environmental protections? Bringing together theoretical issues in development economics and a wide range of empirical evidence, this book examines this question and explores ways that environmental sustainability has been--and might be--ncorporated into existing theories of economic development.
Protection of the environment is an essential part of development, and the best chance for achieving long-term sustainable development is to systematically incorporate environmental issues into key aspects of economic development paradigms.

Title: The Origins of the Tigray People's Liberation Front
Author: Aregawi Berhe
The Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), at its inception, was
grounded in an ethno-nationalist consciousness generated by the cumulative
grievances of Tigrayans against successive central governments of
Ethiopia. An association of Tigrayan elites, the urban-based Tigrayan
National Organization (TNO), prepared the groundwork for the formation
of the TPLF. The TPLF, for its part, utilized class and ethnonationalist
ideologies to mobilize Tigrayans until it ousted the Mengistu
government in 1991. This article analyzes how this ethno-nationalist
organization emerged, grew and finally came to dominate Ethiopia — a
state with an emerging multi-national character.

Title: Tigress in the Crossfire
Author: Saba Mitslal Dest
Once I started to read this book I found it hard to put down. It starts with the innocent story of a poor little girl growing up in Adwa in an average family with father, mother, sisters and brothers. It is written in the first person and she tells us of how she used to play with the neighborhood children, goes to school, but all of a sudden, looses her mother due to some unexplained fever while on the way to the hospital.
