*SESSION 1* Wednesday, June 18th, 8:30 AM to 9:45 AM

"Negotiating Values and Visions: Transnational Environmental
Activism and Local Politics"

-Maria Guadalupe Moog Rodrigues, Carnegie Council Fellow

Transnational networks of environmental activists can be a
powerful force for change, but the policies they pursue sometimes
have unexpected * even undesirable * consequences for activists
at the local level. Maria Guadalupe Moog Rodrigues has sought to
understand the obstacles that local and international activists
confront when they work together on common aims, using the
Rondonia network in Brazil as a case study.

*SESSION 2* Wednesday, June 18, 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

"Digging Out of Poverty? Redistributive Justice, Participation
and Natural Resource Extraction"

and

"Intellectual Property Rules for the Digital Economy "

-Dieter Zinnbauer & Keith Slack, Carnegie Council Fellows

The 2002-03 fellows of the Justice and the World Economy Program
will discuss their research projects concerning natural resource
extraction and digital property rights. Keith Slack's research
deals with the well-known but somewhat curious fact that many
developing countries that are richly endowed with natural
resourcesÆsuch as minerals, oil, or timberÆnot only continue to
languish in poverty, but that increases in exports of these
resources is correlated with increases in poverty. Dieter
Zinnbauer's research examines emerging international intellectual
property policies for digital information technologies.

*SESSION 3* Thursday, June 19, 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM

"Islam and Human Rights: A Rethinking by Turkish Islamic
Intellectuals"

and

"Changing Perceptions of Rights and Security in Post 9-11
Malaysia"

-Ihsan Dagi & Elizabeth Wong, Carnegie Council Fellows

This session will examine human rights discourse and practice
after September 11 in two Islamic countries: Turkey and Malaysia.
Ihsan Dagi will discuss the changing discourse of Turkish
Islamists, arguing that it represents an important sign not only
for the spread of modern political values among the Islamists of
Turkey but also for a possibility of rapprochement between Islam
and the West. He will explain how this discourse has been
affected by 9/11 and the war in Iraq. Elizabeth Wong will explore
the Malaysian government's recent emphasis on "security" over
civil liberties, and will suggest new strategies to ensure that
human rights protections are maintained in a post-9/11 context.

*SESSION 4* Thursday, June 19, 10:45 AM to 12:30 PM

"Remembering the Pacific War: WWII Museums in China, Japan, South
Korea and Taiwan"

-Takashi Yoshida, Carnegie Council Fellow

Public and private war museums have played a significant role in
educating their visitors about wars. However, these museums are
not exempt from politics; they tend to impress upon the viewer a
particular subjective understanding of the war. Takashi Yoshida
will discuss the ways that museums in China, Japan, South Korea,
and Taiwan portray WWII by analyzing the choices made by the
museums to include and exclude certain historical events, the
direct and indirect messages they try to convey to their
visitors, and the ways in which participants in the war have
become labeled as "perpetrators" and "victims."
