Greatly admired by the world community of policymakers and scholars of international trade, Arthur Dunkel is credited with having saved the Uruguay Round from failure. This volume--whose authors include the most distinguished trade policymakers and eminent academics from international economics and law--is a testimony to Dunkel's enormous standing in the trade community.The volume contains many accounts, by prominent players in the Uruguay Round negotiation, of what happened behind the scenes. These include Rubens Ricupero, now head of UNCTAD, on the developing countries' evolving positions; Indian Ambassador Zutshi on how the agreement on intellectual property protection was reached; and Secretary Clayton Yeutter on the negotiations in agriculture.Also of great interest are the authoritative analyses by major figures of new issues beyond the Uruguay Round. Sir Leon Brittan offers an analysis of the need to include competition policy in the WTO; Paul Volcker writes on the need to strengthen multilateral-ism in the rush to regionalism; Helmut Mauscher, chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce, on international business issues posed by accelerating globalization.The academic contributors bring scholarly viewpoints to bear on these new issues. Among them are Hon Jackson's analysis of sovereignty questions; Robert Hudec's of the evolution of the dispute settlement system under the GATT and current problems facing the WTO; Jagdish Bhagwati's of the issues raised by the interface between human rights and trade; and the trenchant critique of regionalism by Arvind Panagariya and T. N. Srinivasan.Jagdish Bhagwati is Arthur Lehman Professor of Economics and Professor of Political Science, Columbia University. Mathias Hirsch is Arthur Dunkel's personal assistant.

MY URUGUAY Vignettes from a Way of Life By Tony Beckwith “My Uruguay” is a collection of fifty short-short stories set in the 1950s and 1960s. Part coming-of-age memoir, part meditation on life in a multicultural environment, the universal themes running through these vignettes will resonate with readers as the narrative describes a way of life that at times, though lived elsewhere, seems comfortably familiar. Uruguay is a small Spanish-speaking country on the Atlantic coast of South America. The author grew up there, in the seaside city of Montevideo, where his family was part of a close-knit expat community. His reminiscences of those formative years in a seemingly magical time and place explore the whims and foibles of a community that was, in many ways, more British than the British, at a time when the sun was already setting on the former empire. Traditions brought from the old country are a vital part of the community’s identity, but so is the need to live in the present as members of a cosmopolitan Uruguayan society. “We are British at heart,” says the author’s father in one story, “but our British experience is secondhand. We are cultural hybrids, very fortunate to be enjoying the best of both worlds in a place like Uruguay.” In the fast-moving world of the twenty-first century, it often feels as though there isn’t enough time to read lengthy works of literature at a leisurely pace as people once did. This book provides the ideal solution for those with busy lives and limited time on their hands; each of these brief vignettes can be enjoyed as a complete, uninterrupted experience in just a few minutes. But the writing is so compelling and the stories so vividly told that readers will find it hard to stop at just one.
