This week on ViewsWire: Inflation--back with a vengeance?
Asia: Feeling the heat
Concerns over inflation have increased in Asia, as a number of countries in the region have begun to record inflation rates not seen since the 1990s.
World: Biofuelled inflation?
Sharply rising biofuel production is partly behind the spike in food prices thats hurt many economies. And this side-effect is likely to get worse before it gets better.
France: Can he deliver?
Protests by railway unions, civil servants and students are at hand. Will the new president stand his ground?

This week on ViewsWire: Oil's unstoppable rise?
World: Triple-digit oil?
If oil hits US$100/barrel, we expect a short, sharp, correction. Yet with demand seemingly impervious to high prices and with only limited quantities of new supply on the horizon, it won't be long before the price starts to climb again.
Pakistan: Emergency rule
Pervez Musharraf has suspended the constitution in an apparent bid to ensure that his re-election is not overturned by the Supreme Court.
Brazil: Energy crunch
Six years after crippling power rationing, the weaknesses in Brazils energy supply and infrastructure are again becoming apparent, and there is no quick fix.
Middle East: Elusive unity
The aspiration for GCC convergence remains frustratingly difficult to turn into reality. But if monetary union is dropped, faster progress could be made in other areas.

This week on ViewsWire: The Fed's cut-and-wait

Peru: On trial
Former President Alberto Fujimori is finally being prosecuted. But the current administration could pay a price.
EU: Your skilled masses
The EU is the losing the war for global talent. Proposals for a simplified system for attracting skilled immigrants, including the introduction of a "blue card", might help.
Sub-Saharan Africa: US umbrella
A permanent US command attests to Africas increased importance; this will boost security, but what about governance?

The new politburo line-up might give a mild boost to Hu Jintao's balanced-development agenda, and it has also presented the world with two heirs apparent, only one of whom is Hu's protg.
Mexic War on drugs
New US funding for anti-drug efforts in Mexico is generating criticism, and will likely show few positive results in the short term.
Poland: Liberal gain
Civic Platform won the general election, but it will be hampered by coalition politics and a conservative president.
Argentina: Cristina's challenges
Cristina Kirchner will win the presidency with ease, and without having laid out a detailed policy platform. But she will not be able to evade the host of challenges that await her.
