RECENT HIGHLIGHTS

• WORKSHOP ON HEALTH AS A HUMAN RIGHT
  The international community has begun to consider the "highest attainable standard of health" as a fundamental component of the human rights agenda, alongside related issues of poverty and adequate access to water and sanitation.



• THE ASCENT OF MONEY: A FINANCIAL HISTORY OF THE WORLD
  Does the symbiotic relationship between China and America—"Chimerica" as Niall Ferguson calls it—give reason to hope that America's present economic situation will turn out to be not a crash, but a correction?



• DAVID SPEEDIE INTERVIEWS GARY SICK
  The Bush administration has been toying with the idea of talking to Iran for the last two years, says Middle East expert Gary Sick. With the arrival of Obama, now the question is not "should we," but how do we go about doing it?



• THE LIMITS OF POWER: THE END OF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM
  America is facing a profound triple crisis: the economy, the government, and an involvement in endless wars, the latter a result of expansionist policies that go back to the American Revolution, according to Andrew Bacevich.
