PauvretéTags : Politique d'ajustement structurel Etats-Unis Pauvreté Economie mondiale Index. décimale : 02.01 Finances Résumé : The eve of the 21st century finds much of the South in a a state of economic collapse, with once optimistic visions of the future cruelly dashed by rising mass poverty, inequality and hunger. At the same time working people in the North find themselves ground down by high unemployment, greater job insecurity and declining living standards. Tearing through government obfuscation and academic rationalization. Dark Victory reveals these trends in the north and South to be consequences of the same sweeping strategy of global economic roll back unleashed by the United States to shore up the North's economic domination of the international economy and to assert corporate hegemony in the home economy.

MondialisationTags : Banque mondiale FMI OMC G7 Economie mondiale Mondialisation Index. décimale : 03 Commerce-Mondialisation Résumé : This is a short and trenchant history of the organizations--the World Bank, IMF, WTO, and Group of Seven--that have promoted economic globalization and which are now trying to manage the unmanageable. Walden Bello points to their manifest failings, seen in recurrent financial crises, the ever widening gulf between developing and industrialized countries, the persistence of gross inequalities, and mass poverty. He examines new ideas for reforming world economic management, and argues that a much more fundamental and radical shift of direction is required.

Titre : A Siamese Tragedy : Development and Disintegration in Modern Thailand Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Walden Bello, Auteur ; Shea Cunningham, Auteur ; Li Kheng Poh, Auteur Editeur : London : ZED Books Année de publication : 1998 Importance : 267 p Note générale : 09.04 BEL Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Asie
Politique monétaireTags : Politique monétaire Politique économique Développement industriel Asie Pays en développement Thaïlande Index. décimale : 09.04 Asie Résumé : A Siamese Tragedy argues that, even before the economic collapse of 1997-1998, the Thai economy had feet of clay. Walden Bello and his co-authors show how vested interests, local and international, propelled the Thai people down a particular path which is unsustainable in terms of human exploitation, social disruption, and economic fragility. Thailand, like the rest of the worls needs to re-think the fundamentals of its economic model.

Titre : Taming the tigers : The IMF and the Asian Crisis Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Nicola Bullard, Auteur ; Walden Bello, Auteur ; Kamal Malhotra Editeur : Focus on the Global South Année de publication : March 1998 Autre Editeur : Catholic Fund for Overseas Development (CAFOD) Importance : 36 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Asie
BanquesTags : FMI Asia Crise économique et financière Banques Banque mondiale Economie internationale Libéralisation Investissements Environnement Forêts Pauvreté Agriculture Gouvernance Résumé : Report begins by describing what actually happened in the three worst hit countries of Thailand, Indonesia and South Korea. It goes on to explore the human impact of the crisis. These chapters provide the material for a detailed analysis of the IMF’s role, and of the numerous failings in its performance to date. The report concludes with recommendations for reform of the Bretton Woods institutions, and the international financial system. Criticising the solutions imposed by the IMF in no way implies an uncritical endorsement of Asian development models. The political and economic systems in these countries have brought improvements in health, education and living standards. But the cost has been high in terms of sharpening the divide between rich and poor, environmental exploitation and loss of community control over natural resources, and growth without economic democracy or the expansion of political participation. Rather this report demonstrates that the IMF does not have a monopoly of social or economic wisdom (far from it). If the Fund’s neoliberal crusaders can be reined in, and alternatives explored, the crisis can offer Asia the chance to forge democratic and sustainable alternatives to the ruinous development path of recent years. If not, then ordinary Asians could come to look back on the 1970s and 1980s as a golden era. That would indeed by a tragic testament to the failings of the "rescue packages" of 1997.

Titre : The Challenge to Asia’s Social Movements Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Walden Bello, Auteur Editeur : Focus on the Global South Année de publication : August 2012 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Mouvements sociaux Asie Résumé : "This July was the hottest July in the United States ever since they started keeping records. In India, the monsoon rains are long delayed, resulting in the country’s second drought in four years. Triple digit temperatures in New Delhi and other cities have already provoked the worst power outages in the country’s history and the expected bad harvest is likely to slice at least five per cent from GDP growth. In Beijing, which usually suffers from a shortage of water, a storm on July 21 resulted in the worst flooding since records began to be kept in 1951, according to the Economist. Meantime, in the Philippines, a protracted “rainstorm with no name”—as many people termed it-- that persisted for over a week plunged Metropolitan Manila into a watery disaster that is probably the worst in recent history."
