Institute for International Integration Studies

News of the rarely mentioned Institute for International Integration Studies housed at TCD Dublin.

As I am sure many of you will know, Trinity College Dublin's Sutherland Centre (largely funded and named after GATT, WTO, WEF and ODC etc. big shot Peter Sutherland) is the home of the 'Institute for International Integration Studies'.
The Institute is described as "a major research initative on the global and regional dimensions of international economic, political and cultural integration". This think tank is partially funded by Coca (we're up to our necks in it in Colombia) Cola amongst others.
Going by the hands that feed the institute it should be quite easy to imagine the nature of the approaches to all matters global trade that are being dreamt up there.
In fairness though, in July 2003 a talking shop called the 'Global Development Challenge' was held by the Institute where American foreign policy and human rights were discussed. This get together was attended by Mary Robinson, Jeffrey Sachs, employees of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, former Mexican President and current director of 'The Yale Centre for the Study of Globalisation' Ernesto Zedillo, Sutherland himself and various other radicals.
The Institute for International Integration Studies is housed in the Sutherland Centre, Level 6 (Penthouse Floor), the Arts Block, in the Main TCD campus.

I just put this in because I was wondering if any of you concerned global citizens, anarcho agitators or neo-crypto-proto-Stasi types have been around there making a nuisance of yourselves at all of late. Have a nice day.
