BOGOTÁ The Framework Agreement for the End of the Armed Conflict in Colombia that has just been announced by President Juan Manuel Santos is a historic landmark for his country and all of Latin America. It is also a tribute to diplomatic resourcefulness and negotiating skill.

Another challenge to the international monetary system lies in the proliferation of bilateral payment agreements. By bypassing more efficient and inclusive structures, these arrangements undermine multilateralism.

But, while unilateral pressure can make a difference, the rule of law s defenders must be willing to apply it convincingly. The EU s talks with Ukraine on a proposed Association Agreement, for example, provide some leverage, which the EU should not hesitate to use.

President Richard Nixon hailed the 1971 Smithsonian agreement as the most significant monetary agreement in the history of the world. But it was soon in tatters, and the world moved to generalized floating.

PRINCETON When Mexico s then President Carlos Salinas de Gortari and his American counterpart, Bill Clinton, signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) more than 20 years ago, the hope was that the Mexican economy would be swept forward by a rising wave of globalization. By many measures, that hope has been amply fulfilled.

Both sides often refer to this desire to forge closer relations as a strategic partnership.

One reason for this failure is that pillar 1 of the Basel II Agreement, which outlines how banks around the world should assess credit risks and determine the size of capital buffers, makes no explicit allowance for long swing fluctuations in asset markets. Instead, it relies on value at risk (VaR) measures that link risk to standard notions of short term market volatility.

China and the US reached another bilateral deal at the APEC summit, which will serve to unblock the World Trade Organization s Information Technology Agreement and thus eliminate tariffs on information and communication technology.
