CPU ANNOUNCEMENT: December Issue of The Columbia Political Review (CPR) Released

CPU ANNOUNCEMENT:

-----------------------------------------------------
1. December Issue of The Columbia Political Review (CPR): Now
Available on Campus!

Need inspiration for a brilliant term paper? Tired of looking at
the same rough draft over and over again? Or do you just need some
quality reading for that long flight home to California (or train
ride to Westchester)? If so,

Look for the December issue of the CPR around campus starting TODAY.

Inside you'll find:

1. Law and Order: Ganesh Betanabhatla tackles the politics and
problems of international investigations.

2. The Key to Middle East Peace: Alper Bahadir examines the role of
the Kurds in Iraq and Turkey and explains why they could hold the
key to a stable Mesopotamia.

3. The New Dependency Theory: Diego Laserna updates Prebisch's
classic and tells us what is driving Latin America's terms of trade
today.

4. A Narrow Prosecution: Josh Kolsky explains the logic behind the
prosecution of Saddam Hussein.

5. Above Board, But Over Budget: Liz Long reexamines no-bid
contracts and tells us when they are a good idea and when they are
just plain stupid.

Plus: Avi Zenilman's commentary on Woodward, Miller and Fitzgerald,
and Ady Barkan's review of George Packer's /The Assassin's Gate/.

Good luck with finals and happy reading.
