http://www.oitamericas99.org.pe/english/agenda/textadop/report/text.pdf
This 137-page report by Juan Somavia, the director general of the International Labor Organization (ILO), was presented at the American Regional meeting in Lima, Peru in August 1999. The report is divided into three sections. The first analyzes "the main challenges faced by the labour markets in the regions, in view of the globalization process." These challenges include "The Evolution of the Labour Market and Social Progress in the Nineties," "The Process of Transformation and the Challenges of Employment and Vocational Training," and "Labour Relations and Worker Protection in the New Structural Context." The second section looks at the activities the ILO carried out from 1994 to 1999 in order to combat the problems described in the first section. The final part looks at the steps the ILO plans to take in the next ten years in Latin America and the Caribbean. Also included are tables of data about Latin America and the Caribbean and a bibliography. [EM]

Trade Liberalisation and Women
http://www.undp.org/unifem/trade/index.htm
A special report from the United Nations Development Fund for Women's (UNIFEM) program on Women and International Trade, Trade Liberalisation and Women seeks to explain how trade liberalisation, defined as the "process of systematically reducing and eventually eliminating all tariff and non-tariff barriers between countries as trading partners," is affecting the women of the world. The site explains how, as economies compete with each other, global liberalisation will drive down the working wages and working conditions of countries, thus affecting female workers. As well as this situational analysis, the site also includes extensive databases of related links, research, and books; UNIFEM's research into the subject of women and trade; and a list of organizations users can contact if they are interested in persuing issues related to women and trade liberalisation.

8) Biggest Media Mergers -- CNNfn
http://cnnfn.com/1999/09/07/deals/media_mergers/
Tuesday, Viacom and CBS announced their plans to merge, creating the largest media merger in history. The new entertainment company, which will retain the name Viacom, is valued at $80 billion. Along with newly acquired CBS, Viacom already owns several cable networks including MTV, Nickelodeon, and VH1; Paramount Pictures movie studio; and theme parks and holds major stock in the networks UPN and Showtime as well as the Blockbuster video store chain. CBS brings access to the radio company Infinity Broadcasting Corporation and Outdoor Systems Inc., a large billboard company. This new multimedia entertainment empire will rival Walt Disney Co. and Time Warner Inc. These eight resources provide news, analysis, and company information on the new Viacom-CBS merger.

"Media Giants in $80bn merger" (1) is the BBC's coverage of the merger, including a RealAudio file of Sumner Redstone, president of Viacom, and links to related articles and Websites. CNN's report (2) on the deal examines the demographic impact the merger would bring to Viacom. National Public Radio's All Things Considered(3) interviews The New Yorker's Ken Auletta, who explains that CBS viewers will probably not notice a difference in the network, but the merger will affect the business side of CBS. Time.com's "Net Effects of CBS-Viacom Merger" (4) looks at the impact of the merger on Viacom's Internet presence. Salon(5) assesses the overall impact that the merger will have on these two companies in the cynical commentary "The CBS-Viacom Merger." Both the Viacom (6) and CBS (7) official Websites give company background, as well as their own coverage of the new Viacom company. Finally, CNNfn (8) offers a brief look back at the ten largest media mergers, which have all taken place since 1991. [EM]
