Private Dispute Resolution in International Business Volume II : Negotiation, Mediation, Artbitration
Berger, Klaus Peter,International business has always favored Private Dispute Resolution out- side domestic courts. This practice has increased dramatically over the past decades. Almost every dispute resolution process is preceded by more or less intense negotiations between the respective managers who are in charge of the project. Almost 90 per cent of major international commercial con- tracts contain an arbitration clause and international contract practice is making increasing use of mediation. Some commercial contracts contain highly sophisticated 'multi-tier' dispute resolution clauses which require the parties to reach a settlement of their disputes by going through consecutive steps of different Private Dispute Resolution processes. As a consequence of these developments, every major international law firm has a dispute resolu- tion group. Legal departments of major companies are likewise discovering the benefits and cost-saving effects of pro-active dispute management, espe- cially in light of the high potential for Private Dispute Resolution to preserve valuable business relationships.

Evaluating the Evaluators. Media Freedom Indexes and What They Measure
J.Burgess,n cooperation with the Center for Global Communication Studies at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication, CIMA is pleased to publish this report. All over the world, studies that rank countries by media freedom figure prominently in civil liberties debates, aid programming, foreign policy decisions, and academic research. Evaluating the Evaluators: Media Freedom Indexes and What They Measure examines the strengths and shortcomings of existing media freedom indexes and offers recommendations to improve them. In view of the breadth and depth of these studies, the report recommends that organizations that evaluate press freedom continue to refine their methodology by increasing technical sophistication, cultural neutrality, and transparency and that they incorporate digital media into their evaluations. The report, by John Burgess, a former Washington Post reporter and editor who specializes in international affairs and technology, is based on a collection of academic papers on this subject submitted to the Annenberg School for Communication.

Promoting Access to Medical Technologies and Innovation
Medical technologies--medicines, vaccines and medical devices--are essential for public health. Access to essential medicines and research to address neglected diseases have been a major concern for many years. More recently, the focus of health policy debate has broadened to consider how to promote innovation and how to ensure equitable access to all vital medical technologies.Today's health policy-makers need a clear understanding both of the innovation processes that lead to new technologies and of the ways in which these technologies are disseminated in health systems. This study seeks to reinforce the understanding of the interplay between the distinct policy domains of health, trade and intellectual property, and of how they affect medical innovation and access to medical technologies. It captures a broad range of experience and data in dealing with the interplay between intellectual property, trade rules and the dynamics of access to, and innovation in, medical technologies.
