We wish to thank all authors for their contributions to this volume and cooperation in expediting the editorial processes. We also thank the publishers and conference organizers for permitting us to include revised and updated versions of some papers in this book. Th anks are also due to colleagues in UN-DESA, especially Meriam Gueziel, for the assistance in the preparation of this volume. We particularly want to acknowledge the support and encouragement of our colleague Diane Loughran, Senior Information Offi cer, UN-DESA, and Valentina Kalk, Chief, United Nations Publications, as well as those responsible at Bloomsbury Academic. It would not have been possible to publish this volume without all their contributions. |
