Tropical Forest Remnants

Ecology, Management, and Conservation of Fragmented Communities

We live in an increasingly fragmented world, with islands of natural habitat cast adrift in a sea of cleared, burned, logged, polluted, and otherwise altered lands. Nowhere are fragmentation and its devastating effects more evident than in the tropical forests. By the year 2000, more than half of these forests will have been cut, causing increased soil erosion, watershed destabilization, climate degradation, and extinction of as many as 600,000 species. Tropical Forest Remnants provides the best information available to help us understand, manage, and conserve the remaining fragments. Covering geographic areas from Southeast Asia and Australia to Madagascar and the New World, this volume summarizes what is known about the ecology, management, restoration, socioeconomics, and conservation of fragmented forests. Thirty-three papers present results of recent research as well as updates from decades-long projects in progress. Two final chapters synthesize the state of research on tropical forest fragmentation and identify key priorities for future work.

World Labour Report 1997-98

Industrial Relations, Democracy and Social Stability

Whether talking of globalization, democracy, adjustment, or flexibility, this is a world of constant change. In some ways, we are also at the end of a period of labor market stability. In many countries, trade unions, employers, and governments have long been the main architects of this stability. Is collective representation now in crisis? In this major report, the ILO investigates the state of industrial relations worldwide. Drawing on examples from all the world's regions, from the company to the national and international levels, in the formal and informal sectors, it offers a comprehensive assessment of how change in the real world is negotiated.

For example, the Self-Employed Women's Association (SEWA), in India, set up a
bank in 1979 which earmarked a substantial part of its urban loans to families of
retrenched textile workers to enable them to take up alternative employment.

World politics 97/98

The internationalization of labor flows has meant that the lack of worker rights in
host countries has led to serious diplomatic tensions in the region: between the
Philippines and Malaysia, for example, over the treatment of Filipina domestic
workers in Malaysia; between Indonesia and Malaysia over the treatment of
Indonesian migrant workers in the latter; or between Thailand and Japan over the
treatment of Thai women illegally recruited to work in Japanese brothels. Worker
