    Christian Kingombe
    It has been argued that investment in rural transport infrastructure could be considered pre-requisites for growth and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Weakly regulated globalised financial markets have been shown to be risky and to increase the chance of ‘contagion’ spreading across countries. We hear of tensions about labour migration – another sort of market openness, and fears that cheap imports are going to undermine British jobs.
