International trade agreements [Full Video] [ALEV-FULL] [EN]


Full Video of the ALDE ADLE Seminar on the role of social and evironmental standards in international trade agreements

Clauses concerning environmental, human rights, social or CSR standards increasingly play a role in the negotiations of trade agreements the EU is conducting on a bilateral and multilateral level.

The liberal conviction of liberalizing global markets often seems to contradict the respect for these standards.

The seminar will take stock of the diverse arguments of either side of this debate and will try to find possible solutions to the diverging goals within trade negotiations.

World Trade Center Memorial animation Ground Zero


Animation based on the design of our WTC Memorial entry for the international competition.

The centerpiece of our "Memorial Park" is a pair of two hand-carved, crystal sculptures set within a circular, reflecting pool; a pedestal of water. At sunset, the two sculptures are illuminated from the their bases casting two vertical beacons of light into the sky.

The crystal sculptures carved curvilinear forms refract and reflect sunlight and shimmering water throughout the day and, when illuminated at night, create a dramatic, symphony of light.

Carved into the exterior granite wall of the circular reflecting pool are all the names of the fallen. Because this "Ring of Dedication" is located at ground level, the names are intimately accessible.

The Memorial is set inbetween the footprints of the towers. The footprints are park-like settings which have wide, garden-like paths that link them to the Memorial.

The idea was to imbue the Memorial with an emotional resonance of resurrection, clarity, simplicity and peace. The hope is to feel uplifted in its presence; not despair.

Wherther or not we succeeded, at least we tried.

MARVIN BUSH, BUILDING 7, AND FORBIDDEN QUESTIONS


Marvin P. Bush, the presidents younger brother, was a principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport. The company was backed by KuwAm, a Kuwaiti-American investment firm on whose board Marvin Bush also served.
According to its present CEO, Barry McDaniel, the company had an ongoing contract to handle security at the World Trade Center "up to the day the buildings fell down."
The World Trade Center was destroyed just days after a heightened security alert was lifted at the landmark 110-story towers, security personnel said yesterday [September 11]. Daria Coard, 37, a guard at Tower One, said the security detail had been working 12-hour shifts for the past two weeks because of numerous phone threats. But on Thursday [September 6], bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly removed.
On the weekend of 9/8, 9/9 there was a power down condition in WTC tower 2, the south tower. This power down condition meant there was no electrical supply for approx 36 hrs from floor 50 up... "Of course without power there were no security cameras, no security locks on doors and many, many engineers coming in and out of the tower."

Doha Debacle: Whats Next for Global Commerce


Progress toward unfettered international commerce stumbled last week with the collapse of the World Trade Organizations Doha talks, a seven-year effort to establish new global trade rules. The lengthy talks were complicated by the rapid emergence of China and India as major economic powers -- powers with commercial and strategic interests to protect, and the clout to do so. Many observers say the talks collapse is a setback for poorer nations, which need access to larger markets in order for their economies to grow. Wharton professors Stephen Kobrin, whose research interests include globalization, and Marshall Meyer, an authority on Chinas economy, recently spoke to Knowledge@Wharton about the talks collapse, global commerce and Chinas interest in the rules governing trade.
