		<description><![CDATA[By Justin Sandefur - Can international accountability protect indigenous rights in a charter city? A Canadian real estate development near the site of Honduras’s proposed charter city has provoked opposition from the local Garífuna community. The story reads like a convoluted Hollywood pitch for the sequel to Johnny Depp&#8217;s Rum Diary: An idealistic American academic devises a plan to [...]]]></description>

Lawrence MacDonald contrasted the two meetings in his blog, pointing out that in both cases “much of the action is on the sidelines.” And he’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Ethan Kapstein - The recent coups in the Maldives and Mali against democratically elected leaders, and the continuing political struggles in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya following the Arab Spring, are potent reminders that democracy is a fragile institution. In fact, of the 120 attempts at democratization that have occurred around the world since 1960, nearly half have been [...]]]></description>

A colleague recently returned from Senegal and commented that she was struck by the vast gap between that country’s youthful population and its aged leader. President Abdoulaye Wade is 85 years old while the median Senegalese citizen is just 18.7 years old.  Perhaps that 66-year gap is [...]]]></description>

Two years ago, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, plunging an already poor and unstable country into complete and utter chaos.

		<description><![CDATA[By Michele de Nevers - The latest Global Corruption Report from Transparency International (TI), launched May 5 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, tackles corruption and climate change. The message is stark: without better governance, transferring funds to developing countries to combat climate change could go awry. This would mean even less progress cutting the emissions of planet-heating gases, a squandering of scarce climate funds, and an intensified risk of dangerous, runaway climate [...]]]></description>
