Foresight and Policy
Special issue in cooperation with the Rockefeller Foundation
There is evidence everywhere that humanity finds itself in a crucible of uncertainty. Whether it comes from renowned global experts, early warning units or public interest organizations, foresight seem to be largely ineffective in terms of its influence on action by decision-makers and those in authority. This Journal Issue explores the connection between such forward-looking analysis, the implications for policy and action that emerge from it, and the actual decision taken (or not taken). It aims to bring foresight out from academia and into the public and practical domain.

Globalization, Reproductive Rights and Health
Based on papers and discussions held during a series of SID-UNFPA dialogues on 'Building Alliances for Women's Empowerment and Health', this issue explores the intersection of the global 'population', gender and development agenda and women's agenda in their region and locality as women have worked together to change population policies to become women-centred with a holistic rather than narrow technical approach. It also picks up on different ways women are working with globalization to counteract negative impacts on their health and livelihoods in the different regions, and the final section tells the stories of women at the local level who are trying to create an enabling environment for their sexual and reproductive rights and health.

Creating Global Communication: Development and the New Information and Communication Strategies
There is a great deal of enthusiasm for the new information and communication technologies, but also forebodings about just how transformative they can be. The core concern addressed by articles in this issue are not about how to ensure access to ICTs but about how to ensure the necessary changes in political, social and economic processes that allow people to participate fully in the new information and communication society. This ranges from concerns about education and intellectual property rights to governance processes.

Violence Against Women and the Culture of Masculinity
This issue closely follows the previous theme of women's rights and child rights (Volume 44, Number 2) to look at violence against women and the culture of masculinity. It aims to map out the state of 'body politics' - the political defence of women's freedom and the right to bodily integrity, autonomy and security. The articles show how the fight to end violence against women is at the heart of body politics and the first entry point for women's economic, social and political rights.

Reproductive Health and Rights: Putting Cairo into Action
This issue focuses on reproductive rights and health as a contribution to the Cairo+5 process to review the impact, achievements and goals set by the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) held in Cairo, in September 1994. The discussion on reproductive rights and health brings to the fore human-centred and gender aware challenges to development policies grappling with the impact of globalization and economic crises.
