 Viet Nam, Human Rights and Trade
Implications of Viet Nam’s Accession to the WTO
David Kinley and Hai Nguyen
Viet Nam's WTO accession comes in a time of global increases in food prices. Protests by the poor in dozens of countries have led governments to try to counterbalance market mechanisms. Against this background, Kinley and Nguyen discuss the "Right to Food". The authors furthermore look into the question whether trade liberalization made an impact on the human rights situation in Viet Nam. Nguyen and Kinley acknowledge the positive effects of trade liberalization on the Vietnamese economy, but argue that the gains have not been equally shared by the whole population of Viet Nam. They claim that poverty remains a crucial problem, especially for rural and vulnerable population groups.

Moving Beyond the Privatization Debate
Different Approaches to Financing Water and Electricity in Developing Countries
Daniel Platz and Frank Schroeder
Whether or not to privatize essential services in developing countries has been subject to
a long and heated controversy. Platz and Schröder provide a new perspective and try to overcome the ideological tug of war. Rather than asking “who should provide the services”, the authors adopt a financing point of view and look at how access to basic utilities for all can be funded in a sustainable manner.
