Saturday, January 02, 2010 |
|
The idea that governments should be legally obliged to provide healthcare for its citizens is now an apparently uncontroversial idea. The “right to health” forms the basis of policy for the UN, many international NGOs and national development agencies, and exists in the constitutions of many countries. However, the political and legal ascendance of the "right to health" is unwarranted and counterproductive, according to this new International Policy Network Report by Danish human rights scholar Jacob Mchangama. |

Friday, January 01, 2010 |

Empowering India is an initiative of Liberty Institute. The Institute is a public policy think tank dedicated to advocating ideas that enhance individual freedom. But to be effective, public policy proposals need to be politically acceptable. This required understanding of the total political process, which included the electoral process, political parties, candidates, and the citizens. This is the interface between political ideals and public policy proposals. Empowering India seeks to make democracy meaningful, by improving access to politically relevant information. |

There must therefore be no more futile conferences with this failed agenda," said Lord Lawson, the Chairman of the GWPF. |
