First International Conference of the OIE Reference Laboratories and Collaborating Centres, Florianopolis, Brazil, 3-5 December 2006
The 'OIE Global Network' of Reference Laboratories and Collaborating Centres is a key resource for the early and accurate diagnosis of animal disease pathogens and information pertaining to them. It provides expert support with the supply of science-based international reagents as well as the development of standards and guidelines for animal welfare and the food safety aspects of animal production, and recommendations for the prevention, detection and control of diseases such as zoonoses. The first international meeting of experts from 'OIE Reference Laboratories and Collaborating Centres' addressed the updating and setting of standards for methodologies in the fields of diagnostics, vaccine quality and biosecurity; the improvement of methods for internet networking, and the building of closer links between existing Reference Laboratories, Collaborating Centres and national and private veterinary laboratories. It demonstrated the need for OIE institutions to support developing and in-transition countries in facing current challenges and new threats linked to globalization and climate change through twinning, capacity building, and training programs.
State and Nation Making in Latin America and Spain: Volume 1
The growth of institutional capacity in the developing world has become a central theme in twenty-first-century social science. Many studies have shown that public institutions are an important determinant of long-run rates of economic growth. This book argues that to understand the difficulties and pitfalls of state building in the contemporary world, it is necessary to analyze previous efforts to create institutional capacity in conflictive contexts. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the process of state and nation building in Latin America and Spain from independence to the 1930s. The book examines how Latin American countries and Spain tried to build modern and efficient state institutions for more than a century - without much success. The Spanish and Latin American experience of the nineteenth century was arguably the first regional stage on which the organizational and political dilemmas that still haunt states were faced. This book provides an unprecedented perspective on the development and contemporary outcome of those state and nation-building projects.
