| The Responsibility to Protect: Growing Pains or Early Promise? [Full Text]
- 09/28/10
The ability of RtoP to deliver has been mixed, but it is a bit early in RtoP's young life to judge what it will be when it grows up as a mature policy tool. There is reason to question, as well, whether Somalia and Darfur are the best tests of RtoP's potential. Author(s): Edward C. Luck |

| The Politics of Carbon Leakage and the Fairness of Border Measures [Abstract]
- 09/28/10
It is possible to design fair border measures that address carbon leakage, are consistent with the leadership responsibilities of developed countries, do not penalize developing countries, and ensure that consumers take some responsibility for the emissions outsourced to developing countries.

- 09/28/10
