Vol. 48.3. Peacebuilding Through Justice (September 2005)

Guest Editor: Alejandro Bendana
Written by those involved in conflicts and in the politics of post-conflict reconstruction, this issue explores how the security agenda is intertwined with the development agenda. They are not only two pillars of the multilateral system, along with human rights, but those working on development and peace building share a sense of growing pessimism and mistrust in transnational institutions being able to deliver.

• Volume 48, Issue 3 (September 2005)

Vol. 48.4. Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (December 2005)

Sexual and reproductive health and rights were at the top of the development agenda after the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo. Today the cracks in the Cairo consensus are appearing with deliberate attempts to squash an open democratic debate on the deeper implications of the SRHR agenda. This issue sets out to signal where work needs to be done to shore up the cracks, to maintain gains and where to be on our guard.

• PDF leaflet of Issue 48:4 (PDF 138k)
• Volume 48, Issue 4 (December 2005)

Volume 48 featured a volume long dialogue section about the possibilities and problems of "alternative thinking" and 'diverse economies' in theory and practice.
