‘Same storm – Different boats’ : a Southern African Methodist response to socio-economic inequalities exposed by the COVID-19 stormThis article critiques the theological basis for the Methodist Church of Southern Africa’s
 response to the socio-economic impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
 In light of the fact that there are few (if any) clergy historical accounts on how to respond to a
 deadly pandemic like COVID-19, this article is an analytic description that weaves together
 narrative renditions of the authors’ experiences with formal correspondence of the institution’s
 documentation on the inequalities exposed by the imposition of the lockdown in South Africa
 and countries that form part of the Methodist Connexion. Theological questions of human
 dignity, solidarity, and economic justice that have been surfaced by the pandemic are also
 raised. The article makes practical observations and offers insights that contribute to the
 ongoing dialogue and institutional strategies for responding to COVID-19. It further offers a
 resource for future researchers and communities who may respond to a similar pandemic in
 the future.

Deeper Integration and Trade in Services in the Euro-Mediterranean Region : Southern Dimensions of the European Neighborhood PolicyDeeper economic integration with the
 enlarged European Union - which accounts for a quarter of
 global GDP and foreign direct investment - could become a
 main driver for economic development in the southern
 Mediterranean countries. The planned Euro-Mediterranean free
 trade area for goods is a first step into that direction,
 but additional measures are needed. Especially the
 liberalization of services trade and the comprehensive
 domestic reforms this entails would strengthen the linkages
 with global and European markets. This study analyzes the
 adjustment needs and policy options associated with deeper
 integration between the two sides of the Mediterranean Sea.
 It puts specific emphasis on the dynamics of deeper
 integration at the company level and their respective policy
 implications. Besides a general discussion of deeper
 integration and trade in services liberalization, the study
 contains detailed assessments of individual sectors -
 especially the backbone services (e.g. transport,
 telecommunications, financial markets, electricity) and
 other sectors of relevance for deeper integration (tourism,
 IT-enabled services, distribution services). Even though the
 focus is on regional integration, multilateral
 liberalization issues are factored into the analysis (e.g.
 the GATS, the WTO Doha Round) and options for the pursuit of
 an "open regionalism" are explore.
