Famine and nukes in North Korea

Article Abstract:

Joseph Nye, dean of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, believes that North Korea does not have the capability to launch a large-scale nuclear attack. The worsening situation in the country has forced its leaders to give up what they perceive as security threats to Korea in exchange for outside help, of which food assistance is the most needed. UN World Food Program executive director Catherine Bertini reiterates this need and is calling for setting aside of geopolitical concerns to give way to humanitarian ones.

Looking North

Article Abstract:

For many years, poor central American, Mexican and Caribbean peoples have looked to the United States to escape the poverty of their own countries, and now the governments and intellectuals of these countries are looking north for new opportunities. Mexican President Vicente Fox is optimistic about a future convergence between Mexico and the U.S. that will benefit both nations, but few U.S. politicians are ready to accept this vision.

Latin America: looking north or south?

Article Abstract:

Mexican President Vicente Fox believes that the future of Mexico must incorporate cooperation and integration between his country and the U.S.. Because Mexico has had no growth in 25 years and millions of Mexicans have left the country to find economic opportunity, Fox sees the need to create employment, education and security in his country, and one way to do this is through the creation of a "North American Common Market."
