Peoples Global Action

From the 23rd to the 26th of February of 1998, grassroots movements of all continents met in Geneva to launch a worldwide coordination network of resistance to the global market, a new alliance of struggle and solidarity called Peoples' Global Action against 'free' trade and the WTO (PGA). That was the birth of this global tool for communication and coordination for all those who fight the destruction of humanity and the planet by capitalism and build local alternatives to globalisation.

The Debate on Globalization, Poverty, and Inequality: Why Measurement Matters (PDF )

[161 KB] Author: Martin Ravallion, Organisation: World Bank, Working Paper No.: 3038, Pub. Date: April 21, 2003. In the last year or so, markedly different claims have been heard within the development community about just how much progress is being made against poverty and inequality in the current period of "globalization." Ravallion provides a nontechnical overview of the conceptual and methodological issues underlying these conflicting claims. He argues that the dramatically differing positions taken in this debate often stem from differences in the concepts and definitions used and differences in data sources and measurement assumptions. These differences are often hidden from view in the debate, but they need to be considered carefully if one is to properly interpret the evidence. The author argues that the best available evidence suggests that if the rate of progress against absolute poverty in the developing world in the 1990s is maintained, then the Millennium Development Goal of halving the 1990 aggregate poverty rate by 2015 will be achieved on time in the aggregate, though not in all regions. He concludes with some observations on the implications for the more policy-oriented debates on globalization and pro-poor growth. This paper-a product of the Poverty Team, Development Research Group-is part of a larger effort in the group to throw light on current development debates.

Joseph Nathan Cruz's Valedictory Speech

This truly outstanding graduation speech by a very poor Filipino who graduated first among his peers at the Philippines' most prestigous university is notable for its stirring call to liberation from oppression and its powerful sense of justice. Surely one of the great graduation speeches written by a under graduate from any country.

EU GATS negotiating documents

According to Pascal Lamy, interviewed on BBC 4 Radio this morning: "It's a joke. These documents have been available since July 2002". In fact, Mr. Lamy was joking himself: on 4 July 2002 the EC made available a very limited summary of its requests to 109 countries.The summary is roughly 10 pages long, whereas the documents put in the public domain today run into thousands of pages. These documents, the EU's actual negotiating requests have never been in the public domain before.... The 109 EU requests were recently obtained by the Canadian Polaris Institute and have now been put in the public domain. After their release it has become very obvious why the European Commission has put so much effort into keeping these documents secret. The 109 requests reveal how the European Union is putting pressure on developing countries to opening up their services markets (including essential services like drinking water or energy) markets for European services TNCs. For example, countries like Tanzania, Mozambique and Bangladesh are asked to open up their markets for drinking water supply. In pursuing a corporate-driven agenda towards developing countries, the European Commission seems to have forgotten the golden rule of doing as you would be done by: according to the EU's initial draft GATS offer, the EU itself is (with good reason!) not intending to liberalize drinking water and other public services under the GATS.

Convergence of the Trade and Finance Agendas: How The World Bank Group's Facilitation of the Trade

by Nancy Alexander, Citizens' Network on Essential Services (CNES). January 7, 2003. The paper presents ways in which the World Bank Group's Private Sector Development (PSD) Strategy helps to launch a third generation of adjustment lending focused on liberalizing investment regimes -- as well as launching work programs in procurement, domestic regulation, and services. These topics relate directly to WTO negotiations around expansion of existing agreements such as the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and proposed new issues such as investment and transparency in government procurement.

Confronting Empire by Arundhati Roy

"How to confront Empire?" is the question Arundhati Roy attempts to answer in this talk given at the 3rd World Social Forum. She uses the example of corporate globalisation in India to connect political and social dynamics associated with elite-led globalisation, and suggests not only to confront empire but to "lay siege" to it.

Making globalization work for all

Taipei Times, Wed, Nov 06, 2002: We must start thinking like doctors and prescribe tailored prescriptions to help cure the ills of developing countries By Jeffrey D. Sachs... Globalization is under strain as never before. Every-where its stresses rumble. Most of sub-Saharan Africa, South America, the Middle East and Central Asia are mired in stagnation or economic decline. North America, Western Europe and Japan are bogged down in slow growth and risk renewed recession. War now beckons in Iraq. For advocates of open markets and free trade this experience poses major challenges. Why is globalization so at risk? Why are its benefits seemingly concentrated in a few locations? Can a more balanced globalization be achieved? (abstract)

People Power Needed to Counter Globalisation

6 September 2002- Alert Reuters: Ben Wisner, hazards specialist with the Development Studies Institute at the London School of Economics and the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at University College London argues that it would be a mistake to dismiss the Johannesburg Earth Summit. However, he says, the ability of mega-corporations to impose "globalisation from above" needs a grass-roots movement of "globalisation from below" to match and counter their political and economic power.

The American Prospect

The aim of The American Prospect is to contribute to a renewal of America's democratic traditions by presenting a practical and convincing vision of liberal philosophy, politics, and public life. We publish articles for the general reader that attempt to break through conventional understanding and creatively reframe public questions. Ours is not a magazine of complaint, of angry gestures, or of private irritations. It is a magazine of public ideas, firmly committed -- however unfashionably -- to a belief in public improvement. America can do much good, and it can do much better. It seeks to provide a forum for working through the heated controversies and hard choices that vex its editors and writers as much as other Americans. The magazine, however, generally reflects moral and political commitments that are broadly identified with the liberal and progressive traditions in America.

Export at Any Cost: Oxfam's Free Trade Recipe for the Third World

Dr. Vandana Shiva. 14 May 2002. Oxfam International's report "Rigged Rules and Double Standards" on Trade, globalisation and the fight against poverty is a brave attempt at combining two paradigms. However, when two paradigms are incommensurate, putting them together only creates a schizophrenic analysis. And this is the fate of Oxfam's report on globalisation.

Global Policy Forum

A group of citizens from several countries founded Global Policy Forum in December 1993 to monitor global policy making at the United Nations. At a time of rapid globalization, when nation states are weakening, the founders of GPF wanted to promote a more open, accountable and democratic policy process at the global level. Seeing the UN as the most open and universal institution, they sought to make it more responsive to citizen concerns, and so to foster democracy, social justice, human rights and mutual solidarity. GPF is based in New York City and has consultative status at the UN.

Globalization: The Global Policy Forum

For over five hundred years, monarchs, adventurers, generals, philanthropists and financiers have been constructing an ever-more-global economy. Today, unprecedented changes in communications, transportation, and computer technology have given new impetus to the globalizers. Around the world, globalizing capital is reorganizing business firms, sweeping away regulation and undermining local and national politics. Globalization creates vast new markets and gigantic new wealth, as well as widespread suffering, disorder and unrest. It creates global repression and propaganda as well as global movements for social justice and emancipation. The materials found on this site look at the main features of globalization, asking what is new, what drives the process, how does it change politics, and how does it affect global institutions like the UN.
