Debt and Wrong-Way Resource Flows in Costa Rica [Abstract] 12/02/90
External debt, poverty, and the use of natural resources are inextricably linked. Annis argues that the direction in which a country's economic resources are transferred—from poor to rich, or rich to poor—also sets the pattern for the flow of natural resources.
Author(s): Sheldon Annis

Early Advocates of Lasting World Peace: Utopians or Realists? [Abstract] 12/02/90
