I don t see any other, more pressing, reforms such as raising income taxes to pay for national security gaining any traction in the Bush regime. If I had to bet on a cause, I would put my money on sheer incompetence.

The decision of the International Court of Justice in the Barcelona Traction case suggested that the Court intended to limit erga omnes rights and obligations to those arising under jus cogens norms.

But, beyond such a scorecard, the will to overcome the stagnation trap must be more than a sum of national wills. Germany must be reassured by what is happening in France and Italy conversely, Southern Europeans must be able to trust that their efforts will gain additional traction from greater investment throughout the region, particularly in Germany.

Let us be clear on this point it is not that politicians who wish to take the lead on fiscal consolidation are failing to gain traction it is that there are no politicians at least none with any agenda setting influence who are even trying to steer the US towards adopting a more responsible fiscal policy.

These are, of course, the same mechanisms that the Fed has targeted for almost three years in its own efforts to stimulate higher growth in the US. The macroeconomic outcomes have consistently fallen short of expectations, and there is reason to believe that it will be even more difficult in Japan for monetary policy alone to gain sufficient traction.

So Dan demonstrates the many self learners who take this course off the Web, on their own traction, on their own initiative, and it's quite amazing because these people cannot care less about grades.

Europe is slipping back into recession just when recovery in the United States is finally getting some traction. nbsp That has undermined the case for fiscal consolidation, which is so heavily favored in Europe.

But nuclear issues still struggle for public resonance and political traction. It would take a brave gambler to bet on ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty by the US Senate any time soon.

No wonder that fringe political movements are gaining traction throughout the eurozone. And no wonder that voters in almost two thirds of eurozone countries have turned out the incumbents in their most recent elections.

In both places, other policymaking entities, with much better tools at their disposal, appear either unwilling or unable to play their part. As such, action by central banks will repeatedly fail to gain sufficient traction.

Triffin issued his warning more than 50 years ago, but it has recently gained traction, as China s rise has made the world increasingly disinclined to tolerate the instability caused by a dollar denominated system.

The US Federal Reserve has, in my judgment, responded appropriately by reducing the federal funds interest rate sharply and creating a variety of new credit facilities.
