Titre : The missing dimension : How European financial reforms ignore developing countries and sustainability Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Myriam Vander Stichele, Auteur Editeur : Amsterdam [Nederland] : SOMO Année de publication : October 2011 Importance : 46 p. Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Crise économique et financière
EuropeTags : Crise économique et financière Europe Réformes Pays en développement Résumé : The financial crisis that erupted in Europe in autumn 2008 resulted in an economic crisis that also severely affected many developing countries as documented in many reports. The lack of export opportunities and bank credit for trade, for instance, badly hit the income of developing countries.
In order to prevent a new crisis, the European Union (EU) started to reform its financial sector. Although the financial sector is clearly global and interconnected, whereby many European banks are present in developing countries, little attention is given to what impact the EUs financial reforms have on developing countries. In addition, the EU financial reforms do not take the global environmental and social challenges into account and make no attempt to ensure that the financial sector supports the transformation to sustainable economies and societies.
This report has selected a series of new financial laws on which the EU has decided or will decide on, made on the basis of the perceived importance for developing countries and sustainable development. It assesses those EU financial reforms and makes recommendations on how they should be improved to integrate the interests of developing countries as well as sustainability.

Titre : The new resource grab : how EU trade policy on raw materials is undermining development Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Mark Curtis, Auteur Editeur : Traidcraft Exchange Année de publication : 2010 Autre Editeur : WEED, Oxfam Germany, AITEC, Comhlamh Importance : 47 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Matières premières
EuropeTags : Industrie minière Matières premières Politique commerciale Accords de libre-échange Exportations UE Investissements Pays en développement Entreprises Résumé : The European Union is making a big push to help its companies and investors access raw materials in developing countries. One element of this is a new strategy promoted in Brussels – the Raw Materials Initiative - to enable European companies to access key minerals on which the EU economy is argued to depend for its future competitiveness. Another element is the negotiation of free trade agreements with groups of developing countries, which require them to remove trade barriers and agree to new rules on investment. EU policy is being largely driven by European businesses to secure greater access to cheap raw materials. This report shows that EU trade policies are already having severe adverse impacts on developing countries and that these will become worse if the current EU proposals succeed. In particular, developing countries will be further constrained in their ability to promote effective development policies. Furthermore, the already prevalent negative environmental and human rights impacts of European companies are likely to increase. At worst, the EU’s strategy looks like a traditional grab for raw materials, part of a new scramble for Africa and beyond that will lock developing countries into a vicious circle of poverty. Two EU policies are of special concern in this report:
• The first is the EU’s attempt to secure developing countries’ agreement to ban or curb the use of export taxes which many developing countries levy on raw materials exports to help develop their local industry, raise revenue or protect the environment.
• The second is the EU’s attempt to negotiate new rules on investment that will give European companies unprecedented access to developing country raw materials on the same or even better terms as local businesses. While many developing countries need to attract more foreign investment, this EU push will make it more difficult for their governments to regulate investment to promote local development.
This report argues that current EU trade policy on raw materials is a distraction from what should be the major goals: first, to reduce Europe’s own over-consumption of the world’s resources; second, to help create a more equitable global system to manage and utilise the world’s natural resources in a
sustainable way.

Titre : The politics of european competition regulation : a critical political economy perspective Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hubert Buch-Hansen, Auteur ; Angela Wigger, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2011 Collection : Studies in global political economy Importance : 179 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Europe
Politique économiqueTags : Europe UE Economie politique Compétitivité Résumé : The Politics of European Competition Regulation provides an original and theoretically informed account of the political power struggles that have shaped the evolution of European competition regulation over the past six decades.
Applying a critical political economy perspective, this book analyses the establishment and development of competition regulation at European Community and national level since the 1950s. It puts forth the central argument that competition regulation came to reflect the broader shift towards a neoliberal order since the 1980s. Buch-Hansen and Wigger argue that this shift, which took place against the background of the gradual transnationalisation of capitalist production and the economic crisis of the late 1970s, was driven by the European Commission in alliance with the emerging transnational capitalist class.
The authors examine the political responses to the current global economic crisis in the fields of state aid, cartel prosecution and merger control and conclude that an alternative type of competition regulation, which forms part of a much broader transformation of the current socioeconomic order, is needed. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of (global) political economy, European integration and competition law.The politics of european competition regulation : a critical political economy perspective [texte imprimé] / Hubert Buch-Hansen, Auteur ; Angela Wigger, Auteur . - UK : Routledge, 2011 . - 179 p. - (Studies in global political economy) .
