Extractions: Williamsburg, VA, USA The five-yearly congress of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES), which took place during the last week of July 1998 in Williamsburg, Virginia, bore an immoderate title: 'The 21' Century: The Century of Anthropology'. It was not this surprising expression of complacency but the economic crisis in East and Southeast Asia, in combination with the high fees which probably depressed attendance in comparison with earlier events. Nonetheless, no less than eleven hundred social scientists from all parts of the world converged on the campus of the College of William and Mary to attend discussions and seminars spanning the breadth of anthropological interest. Surprisingly, a full ten percent of the panels was organized by scholars from India, far more than was initiated by any other country delegation from Asia, Africa or Latin America. Indeed, the sizable Indian delegation formed a conspicuous element in the congress. In accordance with the tradition of devoting attention to the locality, the commission's sessions in Williamsburg highlighted the situation of native Americans in the United States and in Canada. The themes were of a general nature, however, and paper presentations dealt with a range of places and topics. Asia was represented through papers on India, Indonesia, Nepal and the Central Asian states.

Extractions: UN member governments have an opportunity in Johannesburg to make a clear statement concerning the relationship between Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs) and WTO trade rules, in order to reaffirm the authority and autonomy of MEAs and to ensure that MEAs are not subordinated to or undermined by the WTO. At the 4th WTO Ministerial Conference in Qatar, WTO Members decided to launch negotiations on the relationship between MEAs and trade rules because there has been some uncertainty about the relationship between certain MEA provisions and WTO trade rules. Today, around 20 MEAs have trade-related provisions.
