In addition, China would benefit from helping to promote the rule of law and effective judicial systems in Africa.

The Day After By: Pamela Cox | The Miami Herald
The aftermath of the crisis that continues to affect the credibility of the World Bank is not just the result of the change in leadership after its president announced his resignation. In fact, the ''day after'' is not business as usual at the World Bank. The crisis -- as the board of directors has suggested -- is in part the result of governance structures in need of review and which, in the opinion of many, do not properly reflect the political situation of the 21st century.

What they have said about Foreign Press Review
"FPR'ın iki "kötü" özelliği var: 1. Alışkanlık yaratıyor, onsuz yapamaz hale geliyorsunuz; 2. Değeri alındığı değil, arada bir de olsa, alınamadığı vakit anlaşılıyor. Bir de sürekli bir kaygıya yol açıyor; 'Ya bir gün kesilir ve onu hiç alamazsam' duygusuyla sürekli yaşamak kolay değil."

Cengiz Çandar
