Faked State

THis kind of nation-state [Serbia-Montenegro] needs to be considered when we are talking interantional agreements, labour conditions, the rule of law and development. Quite an eye-opening article on a state operating as 'giant covert operation' or 'black globalism'. The interesint remark is that they have the capacity to make real stuff rather than the fakes but choose not to bother. Perhaps we will be adding to the threat of global terror the threat of global knock-offs. The intersting thing will be how TNC's and WTO respond; after all this is simply free-market capitalism revealed in all its naked splendour: it concentrates the mond on the necessity for fair and just trading agreements and enforcement. Do the WTO and supporters dare call attention to this given its potential to imply awkward questions of the current GATT's?
