-----[ DIALOGUE ]
MATHEWS ON NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION IN SOUTH ASIA http://www.ceip.org/files/events/rehm1102.asp?p=8 In a panel discussion on National Public Radio, Carnegie President Jessica T. Mathews talked to Diane Rehme about nuclear security in India and Pakistan. "Here you have two countries right next door with a hot cause of contention between them," said Mathews. "That asymmetry and expectation about what the nuclear deterrent means is really cause of concern." Mathews also addressed fighting in Kashmir, the U.S. defeat of the Comprehensive Test Ban, national missile defense, and the role of China.
MORTALITY IN EASTERN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO http://www.ceip.org/files/events/CrisisDRC.asp?p=6 A recent survey on mortality in the eastern DRC cites malaria, noninfectious diseases, diarrhea, and violence as the top causes of death.

TAYLOR BOAS - "Current History's seven-part series 'Globally Wired: Politics in Cyberspace' makes a significant contribution to the debate on the political impact of the information revolution. It also cuts through much of the hype that has dominated discussion of this important issue. The series, which runs from January to November 2000, presents case studies that are fresh, insightful, and authoritative, covering such issues as the Internet and democratization, and information-age terrorism."
