Quote of the week
Now you cannot understand anything about fascist doctrine if you do not understand that their central claim was that liberalism is antidemocratic; in other words, the fascists claimed that liberal institutions cannot represent the will of the people. They further claimed that their typical institutions, particularly the party, were more effective means to represent the will of the people. So fascists were “authoritarian democrats.”

Unisa trans-border commercial law workshop
Unisa is organising a conference on trans-border commercial law. The workshop deals with commercial law implications of cross-border trade – so anyone encountering a measure of international dimensions would benefit. The organisers state that at least three papers deal with human rights and intellectual property protection, while other papers may touch on constitutional issues.
The programme may be viewed on their web site www.unisa.ac.za/transborderworkshop.
