The current framework of development cooperation is dominated by the experiences of industrialized countries. But emerging economies have begun to accelerate their own development programmes, and attempts to bring them into existing aid models have been met with caution. This expert volume explores the development policies of Brazil, China, India, Mexico and South Africa, analysing how South-South cooperation has evolved and where it differs from traditional development cooperation

The Millennium+5-Summit, 14 -16 September 2005, should take stock of international politics & should make action-oriented decisions. The main focus is on the implementation of the millenniums-explanation 2000 & the world conferences of the 1990s. The main resolution model for this summit was provided by Kofi Annan on 21 March 2005 with his report \"In Larger Freedom: Towards Security, Development and Human Rights for All\". This article presents the preparation process along the main focal points of Annan's report: (1) struggle against poverty & development; (2) peace & security; (3) democracy, constitutional state, & human rights; & (4) institutional reforms in the UN.

Lesotho's economy is characterized by its peripheral Status and its complete Integration into the South African System. The industrial sector is still at a rudimentary stage of development. The small number of medium and large-scale industrial enterprises, most of which are owned by foreign capital, draw on unskilled, low-wage local labor for export oriented assembly Operations. The expanding small-scale sector, comprising crafts and factory-type enterprises, is characterized by its subordinate and entirely dependent relationship with the modern industrial sector of South Africa. Two parastatal institutions have been charged with the promotion of the industrial sector. The Lesotho National Development Corporation (LNDC) offers a full range of services and fiscal incentives in order to attract foreign investors. The Basotho Enterprises Development Corporation (BEDCO) concentrates on promoting local crafts and small-scale industries. While the efficient operations of the LNDC have generated modest but increasing flow of foreign investment into the country,BEDCO's activities for the most part have run into serious problems. Prospects for the development of the industrial sector are not bright. But even within the restrictive framework of the Southern African Customs Union Agreement Lesotho can implement protective policies promoting local producers in the industrial sector. /// L'economie du Lésotho est caractérisee par le Statut périphérique de ce pays et sa complète intégration dans le système de la RSA. L'industrie en est encore dans l'enfance et les quelques entreprises de moyenne ou grande dimension, la plupart entre les mains du capital étranger, font appel à la main d'œuvre locale, non qualifiée et peu rémunérée,pour de l'assemblage destiné à l'exportation. Les petites entreprises, ellesy sont en expansion; d'importance artisanale ou industrielle, elle jouent dans le secteur sud-africain un rôle satellite et en dépendent étroitement. Deux institutions parastatales ont été chargés d'encourager l'industrie: ce sont, d'une part la LNDC (Lesotho National Development Corporation/Compagnie nationale du développement du Lésotho), laquelle offre toute une gamme de services et de stimulants fiscaux destinés à attirer les investisseurs étrangers, de l'autre la BEDCo (Basotho Enterprises Development Corporation/Compagnie de développement des entreprises du Basotho), qui a pour but d'encourager les techniques et petites industries locales. Alors que les opérations sérieuses de la LNDC ont déclenché un flux d'investissements étrangers qui pour être modeste n'en croît pas moins constamment, la plupart des activités de la BEDCo se sont heurtées à de sérieux problèmes. Et les perspectives de développement industriel ne sont guère brillantes. Il est vrai que même dans le cadre restrictif de l'Union douanière du Sud de l'Afrique, le Lésotho peut encore mettre en œuvre des mesures protectrices destinées à encourager les producteurs de l'industrie.
