WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION (WTO)
Following World War II, the major economic powers of the world negotiated a set of rules for reducing and limiting trade barriers and for settling trade disputes. These rules were called the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Headquarters to oversee the administration of the GATT were established in Geneva, Switzerland. Periodically, rounds of multilateral trade negotiations under the GATT were carried out. The 8th round begun in 1986 in Punta del Este, Uruguay, and dubbed the Uruguay Round, was concluded on Dec. 15, 1993, when 117 countries completed a new trade-liberalization agreement. The name for the GATT was changed to the World Trade Organization (WTO), which officially came into being Jan.1, 1995.

The politics of administrative reform
Most countries of Latin America stabilized and opened their economies in the first generation of market oriented reforms in the 1980s and early 1990s. Now they face a much more costly and protracted task of rebuilding state capacity to deliver social services, regulate the economy, avoid recurrent fiscal crises, and improve the overall functioning of government. Why have some countries progressed further on administrative reform than other countries? Administrative reform usually starts with small groups of reformers within the executive branch. Among factors that facilitate reform are: balance of payments and fiscal crises, middle class and rural support, and the effective packaging of reform initiatives. Contrary to much of the literature, the nature of the party system (cohesion, discipline and parity) does not explain much of the variation in reform experiences.

Software
A substantial proportion of information can be digitized. It seems likely that soon, for example, any type of information that can be perceived, i.e. seen, heard, felt, smelt or tasted, will be reducible to a collection of bits. Once in digital form, the information in question can be stored, processed and displayed by a computer. Furthermore, it can readily and rapidly be transmitted from one computer to any other computer regardless of distance, political frontiers, and physical obstacles. From a digital point of view, there is absolutely no distinction between text, sounds, graphics, photographs, music, animations, videos and…software. To include software in our list, however, may seem rather odd. Why this is so? Computer programs are, after all, only digitized information like the other examples. However, there is one vital difference between software and the rest. While text, sounds, graphics, as well as the other examples given above, are generally passive in nature, software, by contrast, is essentially active. It is information with attitude! As Hart reminds us, "Computer programs are not only texts: they also behave". Software is both form and substance, both symbolic and functional, it both "is" and "does". For this reason, software is conceptually very challenging.

WESTERN EUROPE
Important results grew out of the diplomatic action of Brazil vis-à-vis the Western European countries throughout the 1990s contributing in a significant way to the international insertion of the country. Diverse initiatives of a political, economic and cultural nature were implemented at the bilateral level with each country in the region and also at the multilateral level with the European Union – the most advanced experiment in regional integration ever made and whose success inspired the creation of the Common Market of the South (Mercosur). Relations with Western Europe, one of the priorities of Brazilian foreign policy, are characterized by an unusual combination of foundations: a common history (Portuguese discovery and colonization, 60 years of the Iberian Union, the Dutch presence in the Northeast); the role played by immigration and European culture in the formation of Brazil (numerous communities of descendants, language, religion and shared values), the dynamism of economic exchange (the European Union is our major trading partner and the primary source of direct investment in the country); and the intensity of the political dialogue (high level government contacts are constant and distinguished by a constructive spirit). The text refers to the bond between Brazil and Western Europe as being
