...IATA - The International Air Transport Association - Introduction IATA - The International Air Transport Association - was founded in Havana, Cuba, in April 1945. It is the prime vehicle for inter-airline cooperation in promoting safe, reliable, secure and economical air services - for the benefit of the world's consumers. The international scheduled air transport industry is now more than 100 times larger than it was in 1945. Few industries can match the dynamism of that growth, which would have been much less spectacular without the standards, practices and procedures developed within IATA. At its founding, IATA had 57 members from 31 nations, mostly in Europe and North America. Today it has some 230 members from 126 nations in every part of the globe. The modern IATA is the successor to the International Air Traffic Association founded in the Hague in 1919 - the year of the world's first international scheduled services. Early Days The old IATA was able to start small and grow gradually. It was also limited to a European dimension until 1939 when Pan American joined. The post-1945 IATA immediately had to handle worldwide responsibilities with a more systematic organisation and a larger infrastructure. This was reflected in the 1945 Articles of Association and a much more precise definition of IATA's aims than had existed before 1939. To promote safe, regular and economical air transport for the benefit of the peoples of the world, to foster air commerce...

New constitutions have heralded the adoption of multiparty systems from Albania to Zambia. 2 Policymakers have started to ask what we have learned and specifically whether some constitutional reform processes are more likely than others to deliver a reduction in violence or more rights-respecting fundamental documents.

...The Status of Standards Reform Over the last decade, concern over our global economic status and the role of public education in preparing workers has led to a push for standards reform. Two converging reform strategies have emerged: 1) to create a voluntary system of academic standards (e.g., in math, science, English, civics) for students in kindergarten through twelfth grade, and 2) to create a voluntary system of industry skill standards that specify prerequisite skills for individuals planning to enter certain industries and occupations (e.g., electronics, health care, printing, human services). Standards-driven reform is not without controversy. The notion of national academic standards, synonymous in many minds with federal efforts such as Goals 2000: Educate America Act of 1994, raises concern that local autonomy will be jeopardized. Meanwhile, industry skill standards, when linked to public school curricula, trigger concerns that schools will simply become a training ground to ensure better products and services. The question is not so much whether academic or industry skill standards should exist. They already do -- at state, local, and federal levels. At issue is who should be setting standards, how they should be implemented, how the multiple and diverse standards development efforts should be integrated, and which types of standards will best improve learning and ensure a high-performing workforce. Currently, business and education officials are joining forces...
