The international significance of the natural values of the Australian Alps
    Kirkpatrick, J. B. (James Barrie)

The present paper was commissioned by the Australian Alps Liaison Committee. They believed that a detailed and comprehensive assessment was needed to determine if the Australian Alps are qualified for international recognition, and, if so, to determine at what level and for what reasons. The author's aim is to assess the arguments for international natural significance of the MOU area and to document this significance in an integrated fashion suitable as a basis for World Heritage nomination.

Globalization and social integration : patterns and processes
    Ghai, Dharam | Hewitt de Alcántara, Cynthia

"Social integration" is a broad and ambiguous term, variously understood by different people. To some, it is a positive goal, implying the promotion of well-ordered and harmonious relations at all levels of society. To others, increasing integration has a negative connotation, conjuring up the image of an unwanted imposition of uniformity. For a third group, the term implies neither a positive nor a negative state. It is simply an invitation to analyse the established patterns of human relations and values which tie people to one another in any given time and place, defining the parameters of their life chances. In this paper, the latter approach will be adopted: patterns and processes of integration are phenomena to be studied, not goals to be attained. Accepting such a premise makes it easier to explore the underlying causes of growing violence, deepening inequality and lack of solidarity throughout much of the modern world.
Social safety nets and adjustment in developing countries
    Vivian, Jessica M.

This paper argues that, although safety net programmes have had some notable successes, they are not the answer to the social impacts of adjustment, and should not serve to deflect efforts to refine adjustment programmes so that their social costs are better contained. Furthermore, because safety nets are increasingly portrayed as not merely short-term palliative measures, but as representing a potential alternative model for social service provisioning, the long-term impacts of this essentially residualist approach to social development should be more explicitely and thoroughly examined.
