The Trade, Aid and Security
Trade and aid are two of the principal ways the developed world interacts with the developing world.
The direction and priorities of trade and aid policies, largely decided in the North, have profound impacts on the societies, economies and stability of countries in the South.
The Trade, Aid and Security (TAS) initiative is a research program jointly co-ordinated by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the World Conservation Union (IUCN) with funding from the governments of Norway and Italy.
A central objective of the Trade, Aid and Security Initiative is to translate the recommendations into effective policies that reduce the risk of conflict in the developing world.
Their findings will be presented at a number of different forms, including the next ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization in Hong Kong in December 2005, and will be published in book form in early 2006.
