ｾＮ＠ PASSAGE-I
"'IJ:' Trade Organisation (WTO) was
ed in the early 19 90s as a component of the
guay Round negotiation. However, it could
have been negotiated as part of the Tokyo Round
of the 1970 s, since that negotiation was an attempt
at a 'constitutional reform' of the General
Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Or it
could have been put off to the future, as the US
government wanted. What factors led to the
creation of the WTO in the early 19 90s?
One factor was the pattern of multilateral
bargaining that developed late in the Uruguay
Round. Like all complex international agreements,
the WTO was a pro duct of a series of trade-offs
between principal actors and groups. For the
United States, which did not want a new
organisation, the dispute settlement part of the
WTO package achieved its longstanding goal of a
more effective and more legal dispute settlement
system. For the Europeans, who by the 1990s had
come to view GATT dispute settlement I ess in
political terms and more as a regime of legal
obligations, the WTO package was acceptable as a
means to eli scipline the resort to unilateral
measures by the United States. Countries like
Canada and other middle and smaller trading
partners were attracted by the expansion of a
rules-based system and by the symbolic value of a
trade organisation, both of which inherent! y
support the weak against the strong. The
 6 t:<f .?> 1
developing countries were attracted due to the European integration, even though arguably such
provisions banning unilateral measures. Finally, a strong role was not origin ally envisaged in the

Uruguay Round came to put a higher priority on European Union. One means the Court used to

abstract art reqwres more creat1111ty and artist
talent to produce a good p1ece than does
represent all on a! art, but there are many
weaknesses m thetr arguments
ｳ＠ tra g People who look down on abstract art have
several maJor arguments to support the1r b ehefs.
ｾ ｮ ｴＮＢ＠ 'it' They feel that artists tum abstract because they are
not capable of the teclmical drafting skills that
appear in a Russell; therefore, such artists create
less time consuming, and then parade it as artistic
progress. Secondly, they feel that the purpose of
art is to create something of beauty in an orderly,
logical composition. Russell's compositions are
balanced and rational: everything sits calmly on
the canvas, leaving the viewer satisfied that he has
seen all there is to see. The modem ab stractioni sts,
on the other hand, seem to compose their pieces
irrationally. For example, upon seeing Picasso's
Guernica, a friend of mine asked me, "What's the
point?" Finally, many p eo pie feel that art should
portray the ideal and real. The exactness of detail
in Charlie Russell's work is an example of this.
He has been called a great historian because his
pieces depict the life sty! e, dress, and events of the
times. His subject matter is derived from his own
 experiences on the trail, and reproduced to the
smallest detail.
I agree in part with many of these
arguments, and at one time even endorsed them.
But now, I believe differently. Firstly I object to
the argument that abstract artists are not capable
of drafting. Many abstract artists, such as Picasso,
are excellent draftsmen. As his work matured,
Picasso became more abstract in order to increase
the expressive quality of his work. Guemica was
meant as a protest against the bombing of that city
by the Germans. To express the terror and
suffering of the victims more vividly, he distorted
the figures and presented them in a black and
white journalistic manner. If he had used
representational images and colour, much of the
emotional content would have been lost and the
piece would not have caused the demand for
justice that it did. Secondly, I do not think that a
piece must be logical and aesthetically pleasing to
be art. The message it conveys to its viewers is
more important. It should reflect the ideals and
issues of its time and be true to itsel( not just a
flowery, glossy surface. For example, through his
work, Mondrian was trying to present a system of
simplicity, logic, and rational order. As a ｲ･ｳｵｬ ｾ Ｌ＠

in finishing it with their hands; it has already been
done and can never be duplicated.

PASSAGE III
Each one has his reasons: for one art is a flight;
for another, a means of conquering. But one can
flee into a hermitage, into madness, into death.
One can conquer by arms. Why does it have to be
writing, why does one have to manage his escapes
and conquests by writing? Because, behind the
various aims of authors, there is a deeper and
more immediate choice which is common to all of
us. We shall try to elucidate this choice, and we
shall see whether it is not in the name of this very
choice of writing that the engagement of writers
must be required.
Each of our perceptions is accompanied b:z
the consciousness that human reality is

ｬ｡ｮ ｾ ｳ＠ e, it wtll sink back into its dark
p en !\.t least, it will sink back; there is no
one enough to think that it is going to be
annihilated. It is we who shall be annihilated, and
the earth will remain in its lethargy until another
consciousness comes along to awaken it. Thus, to
our inner certainty of being 'revealers' is added
that of being inessential in rei ati on to the thing
revealed.
One of the chief motives of artistic
creation is certainly the need of feeling that we are
essential in relationship to the world. If I fix on

canvas or in 'Writing a certain aspect of the fields
or the sea or a look on someone' s face which I
have disclosed, I am conscious of having
produced them by condensing relationships, by
intro clueing order where there was none, by
imposing the unity of mind on the diversity of
things. That is, I think myself essential in relation
to my creation. But this time it is the created
object which escapes me; I can not reveal and
produce at the same time. The creation o ｾ ･ｳ＠

r of poetry or carpentry, we work according
traditional norms, with tools whose usage is
co ilified; it is Heidegger's famous 'they' who are
working with our hands. In this case, the result
objectivity in our eyes. But if we ourselves
produce the rules of production, the measures, the
criteria, and if our creative drive comes from the
very depths of our heart, then we never find
anything but ourselves in our work. It is we how
our history, our love, our gaiety that we recognize
in it. Even if we should regard it without touching
it any further, we never receive from it that gaiety
or love. We put them into it. The results which we
have obtained on canvas or paper never seem to us
objective. We are too familiar with the .processes
of which they are the effects. These processes
remain a subjective discovery; they are ourselves,
our inspiration, our ruse, and when we seek to
perceive our work, we create it again, we rep eat
mentally the operations which produced it; each of
its aspects appears as a result. Thus, in the
perception, the object is given as the essential
thing and the subject as the inessential. The latter
seeks essentiality in the creation and obtains it, but
then it is the object which becomes the inessential.
The dialectic is nowhere more apparent
than in the art of writing, for the literary object is

a peculiar top which exists only in movement. To
make it come into view a concrete act called
reading is necessary, and it lasts only as long as
this act can last. Beyond that, there are only black
marks on paper. Now, the writer can not read what
he writes, whereas the shoemaker can put on the
shoes he has just made if they are to his size, and
the architect can live in the house he has built. In
reading, one foresees; one waits. He foresees the
end of the sentence, the following sentence, the
next page. He waits for them to confirm or
disappoint his foresights. The reading is composed
of a host of hypotheses, followed by awakenings,
of hopes and deceptions. Readers are always
ahead of the sentence they are reading in a merely
probable future which partly collapses and part! y
comes together in proportion as they progress,
which withdraws from one page to the next and
forms the moving horizon of the literary object.
Without waiting, without a future, without
ignorance, there is no objectivity.

PASSAGE-V
The persistent patterns in the way nations fight
reflect their cultural and historical traditions and
deeply rooted attitudes that collectively make up
their strategic culture. These p attems provide
insights that go beyond what can be learnt just by
comparing armaments and divisions. In the
Vietnam War, the strategic tradition of the Unite
States called for forcing the enemy to figh
massed battle in an open area, where ｾ ﾷｯ＠
American weapons would prevail. The n· ·

d arrow were metaphors for an
E f war. By its nature, the arrow is an
indtr weapon. Fired from a distance of
hundreds of yards, it does not necessitate
immediate physical contact with the enemy. Thus,
it can be fired from hidden positions. When fired
from behind a ridge, the barrage seems to come
out of nowhere, taking the enemy by surprise. The
tradition of this kind of fighting is captured in the
classical strategic writings of the East. The 2,000
years' worth of Chinese writings on war
constitutes the most subtle writings on .the subject
in any language. Not until Clausewitz, did the
West produce a strategic theorist to match the
sophistication of Sun-tzu, whose Art of War was
written 2, 3 00 years earlier.
In Sun-tzu and other Chinese writings, the
highest achievement of arms is to defeat an
adversaty without fighting. He wrote: "To win
one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not
the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without
fighting is the supreme excellence." tual

•suni ver since Sun -tzu, the Chinese have
e seen as masters of subtlety who take
•asured actions to manipulate an adversaty
wi l:hout his knowledge. The dividing line between
war and peace can be obscure. Low level violence
often is the backdrop to a larger strategic
campaign. The unwitting victim, focused on the
day- to -day events, never realizes what's
happening to him until it's too late. History holds
many examples. The Viet Cong lured French and
U.S. infantry deep into the jungle, weakening their
morale over several years. The mobile army of the
United States was designed to fight on the plains
of Europe, where it could quickly move
unhindered from one spot to the next. The jungle
did more than make quick movement impossible;
broken down into smaller units and scattered in
isolated bases, forces were deprived of the feeling
of support and protection that ordinarii y comes
from being part of a big army.
The isolation of U.S. troops in Vietnam
was not just a logistical detail, something that
could be overcome by, for instance, bringing in
reinforcements by helicopter. In a big army
reinforcements are readily available. It was
Nap ole on who realized the extraordinaty effects
on morale that come from being part of a larger
formation. Just the knowledge of it lowers the
soldier's fear and increases his aggressiveness. In
the jungle and on isolated bases, this feeling was
removed. The thick vegetation slowed down the
reinforcements and made it difficult to find
stranded units. Soldiers felt they were on their
own.
More important, by altering the way the
war was fought, the Viet Cong stripped the United
States of its belief in the inevitability of victory, as
it had done to the French before them: Morale was
high when these armies first went to Vietnam.
Only after many years' of debilitating and
demoralizing fighting did Hanoi launch its
decisive attacks, at Dienbienphu in 1954 and
against Saigon in 1975. ft should be recalled that
in the final push to victory the North Vietnamese
abandoned their jungle guerrilla tactics
completely, committing their entire army of
twenty divisions to pushing the South Vietnamese
into coli apse. This final battle, with the enemy's
army all in one place, was the one that the United
States had desperately wanted to fight in 1965.
When it did come out into the open in 1975,
Washington had already withdrawn its forces and
there was no possibility ofre-intervention.
The Japanese early in World War II used a
modern form of the indirect attack, one that relied
on stealth and surprise for its effect. At Pearl
stealth and surprise were attained by sailing un

improved after each surprise, but with no
noticeable improvement in the American ability to

is a cultural divide here, not just a technical one.
Even when it was possible to track an army with
intelligence satellites, as when Iraq invaded
Kuwait or when Syria and Egypt attacked Israel,
surprise was achieved. The United States was
stunned by Iraq's attack on Kuwait even though it
had satellite pictures of Iraqi troops massing at the
border. The exception that proves the point that
cultural differences obscure the West's
understanding of Asian behaviour was the Soviet
Union's 1979 invasion of Afghanistan. This was
fully anticipated and understood in advance. There
was no surprise because the United States
understood Moscow's world view and thinking. It
could anticipate Soviet action almost as I as
the Soviets themselves, because the ｾ ＮＬＱＺ Ｌ Ｌ＠

obliterate the enemy once and for all. In this view;
war proceeds along a fixed course and occupies a
finite extent of time, like a play in three acts with
a beginning, rniddl e, and an end. The end, the
final scene, decides the issue for goo d.
When things don't work out quite this
frustration. Sun -tzu' s great disciples, Mao Zedong
and Ho Chi Minh, are respected in Asia for their
an advantage over stronger adversaries. But in the
West their approach is seen as underhand and
devious. To the American strategic mind, the Viet
