This Issue of the South Bulletin focuses on the primacy of health and production over trade and finance. Prioritising trade over over industry, finance over production, and health over intellectual property rights has been one of the most flawed logic of the neoliberal globalisation paradigm. The Editorial by Dr. Yash Tandon, Executive Director of the South Centre is on "Putting Production over Trade and Finance".

Other articles and commentaries appearing in this Issue include, Five Steps to Overcoming Global Financial Crisis by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, Primacy of Health over Trade and IP Enforcement by Brazilian Ambassador Maria Nazareth Farani Azevedo, Reflections on the Poznan Climate Conference by Mukul Sanwal, Bank of the South: Progress and challenges by Isabel Ortiz and Oscar Ugarteche and ASEAN Towards A Single Market: Lessons for other regions by Tulus Tambunan.
