• A Review of International Legal Instruments : Facilitation of Transport and Trade in Africa, Second Edition

  de Matons, Jean Grosdidier (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2014-03-01)

  This is the second edition of the 2003
 paper entitled "Facilitation of transport and trade in
 Sub-Saharan Africa : a review of international legal
 instruments - Treaties, conventions, protocols, decisions,
 directives." Three major reasons motivated this update
 and an expansion of its scope. First, African countries are
 increasingly cooperating, especially in the area of
 corridors, to achieve full connectivity, mobility and
 accessibility. To that end, they are concluding new
 agreements and conventions. Second, this new edition has
 been extended to the whole of the African continent,
 including the Maghreb, which was not in the previous
 inventory. Third, air transport and associated agreements
 and conventions were added at the request of countries.
 Indeed, the future of air transport in Africa is bright. It
 is likely that it becomes an affordable mode of transport to
 reach remote areas.

• Reshaping the International Monetary Architecture : Lessons from Keynes’ Plan

  Piffaretti, Nadia F. (2012-03-19)

  As the global economy undergoes profound
 changes, it is becoming apparent that the so-called
 "Revived Bretton Woods System" has increased the
 overall vulnerability of the global financial architecture.
 Therefore, it is worth revisiting the origins of the Bretton
 Woods conference, and pointing out the relevance for today s
 framework of Keynes original 1942 plan for an International
 Clearing Union. This note explores the main characteristics
 of Keynes' original plan, by revisiting his original
 writings between 1940 and 1944, and outlining its relevance
 to the current debate on the international financial
 architecture. The note suggests that reforms of the
 international financial architecture should include
 anchoring the international monetary system on sounder
 institutional ground.
