Dear Glenn:
The processing of the Kephart manuscripts is proceeding nicely. I neglected to
mention in my letter of /larch 2 that our Library doss want the Annals of The Carnegie
Museum and the Proceedings of the United States National Museum. I will pick them
up in the near future.
Please be assured that we are working on the Kephart manuscripts- and hope to have
them processed- and copied later this week*
Sincerely,
Richard ¥. Iobst

Food Aid and the WTO: Can New Rules Be Effective?
No full textA new Agreement on Agriculture from the Doha Development Agenda negotiations is certain to contain binding rules on food aid shipments. Negotiating parties are concerned that food aid has been used as a form of export competition policy, and they seek the use of coercive WTO legislation to prevent the disposal of surplus agricultural commodities as food aid. Current Uruguay Round food aid guidelines are contrasted with the most recent Doha Development Agenda proposals, and the prospective effectiveness of new rules is assessed. Food aid rules will be difficult to enforce within the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Understanding. Also, exogenous policy changes in donor countries are reducing the relevance of rules that target food aid as a means of surplus disposal. The future of international food aid governance in the event of a Doha Round collapse is also discussed.agricultural trade, development economics, export competition, food aid, WTO, Food Security and Poverty, International Relations/Trade, O13, O19, Q17, F13,

Multilateral Trade Liberalisation and FDI: An Analytical Framework for the Implications for Trading Blocs
No full textThe proliferation of regional integration agreements (RIAs) over the past several years has led to significant changes in the global configuration of trade and investment activity. Multinational enterprises now face the prospect of multilateral trade liberalisation that could significantly affect the foreign direct investment (FDI) incentive structures that were established within the range of current RIAs. RIAs that provide preferential market access to member countries modify firms’ incentives to undertake FDI activities and can lead to various permutations of trade and investment creation and diversion. This article provides an analytical framework for understanding the implications of multilateral trade liberalisation for the incentive structures of firms to conduct FDI and discusses how multilateral liberalisation could undo many of the FDI activities that were initiated in response to previous RIAs.foreign direct investment, incentives, multilateral trade liberalisation, regional integration agreements, Demand and Price Analysis, Financial Economics, International Relations/Trade, Political Economy,

'The city itself is the anonymous and multiple
author of the images collected and exhibited as artworks’
– Nicolas Bourriaud, Postproduction, 2002.
These large-scale banner artworks are created in direct response to the decoration found around the streets of Helsinki. In public space, diverse tableaux are created by multiple authors using posters, stickers and graffiti. Particular spaces in the city are appropriated as informal message boards, where agendas are promoted and discourses negotiated. Often, these take place on the housings for electrical junction boxes, municipal signs or building hoardings. These examples are highly aesthetic, organised within regularly shaped areas that perform the function of the canvas painting support in delineating the composition and balancing the dynamic, even chaotic, styles at play within formal edges.
In response, Tom Cardwell has created a series of detailed paintings that follow the style of ‘quodlibet’ still life paintings popular in the Dutch Golden Age. Elements from Helsinki’s streets are carefully transcribed and recontextualised within paintings that are dense with coded symbolism and evocative imagery. Here, the painted elements are juxtaposed in larger digital compositions used to create exterior fabric banners. In this way, the source imagery is returned to its urban context on the streets of the city
The role of dairy in healthy and sustainable food systems: community voices from India
No full textThis is the final version. Available on open access from BMC via the DOI in this recordAvailability of data and materials:
The data are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.Background
Managing the role of dairy foods in healthy and sustainable food systems is challenging. Milk production is associated with greenhouse gas emissions and milk-based processed foods can be high in fat, sugar and salt; yet, milk production provides income generating opportunities for farmers and dairy foods provide essential nutrients to young children, with a cultural significance in many communities. This is particularly relevant to India, the world’s largest producer of milk. The aim of this study was to use Photovoice, a participatory research method, to explore the experiences and perceptions of communities in India on the role of dairy products in local sustainable and healthy food systems.
Methods
Purposive sampling recruited two women’s self-help groups in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh: one in a rural area and one in an urban area. A total of 31 participants (10–17 urban group and 12–14 rural group), produced photographs with captions to represent their views on how dairy was produced, sold, and consumed in their community. A discussion workshop was held in each area, with prompts to consider health and the environment. Workshop transcripts, photographs and captions were analysed qualitatively using thematic analysis.
Results
A range of experiences and perceptions were discussed by the two women’s self help groups. Participants had an awareness of their local food system and how stages of dairy food supply chains were non-linear and inherently interconnected. Three main themes were identified: 1) Quality and value matters to producers and consumers; 2) The need to adapt to sustain dairy farmer livelihoods in water scarce areas; 3) It’s not only about health.
Conclusions
Moderate milk-producing states such as Andhra Pradesh will continue to develop their dairy industry through policy actions. Including communities in policy discussions through innovative methods like Photovoice can help to maximise the positive and minimise the negative role of dairy in evolving local food systems.Wellcome Trus

No full text‘The city itself is the anonymous and multiple author of the images they collect and exhibit as artworks’ - Nicolas Bourriaud
Re-Post presents a series of paintings by Tom Cardwell which document and respond to found ‘compositions’ from the streets of Helsinki. Multiple authors use fly-posters, stickers and graffiti to create these ad hoc tableaux. Spaces in the city become informal message boards, where various agendas are promoted, and discourses negotiated. Often, these take place on the housings for electrical junction boxes, municipal signs or building hoardings.
Such examples, often organised within small, regularly shaped areas, relate visually to the canvas painting formats that delineate compositions, and balance the dynamic, even chaotic, styles at play within formal edges.
An initial ‘posting’ (either a small graffito, a sticker or fly-poster) begins the use of a particular site which others then add to. The nature of the postings can be diverse, from the political or religious to the profane or absurd. Thus, these sites are examples of discourses created by multiple authors across various platforms within the urban space.
Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas (1927-1929) was an unfinished series of interconnected image maps that attempted to show how symbols and images from antiquity re-emerge in later contexts. In a related way, the public space of the street proclaims through the haphazard juxtaposition of diverse images and texts the complex and shifting narratives of contemporary life. In both spheres, the role of the larger artwork as a vessel to collect and contain a multitude of individual images is paramount.
These paintings invite deeper consideration of these apparent ephemera and connections with the enduring themes and motifs of art history.
The artworks were made during Cardwell’s Kone Fellowship in the Arts, Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies 2022-23.
The exhibition is supported by Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies, University of Helsinnki, and the Kone Foundation
