Titre : The great inequity Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Edward Hammond, Auteur Editeur : Third World Network Année de publication : 2020 Collection : Third World Resurgence num. 345/346 Importance : 115 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Economie mondiale Commerce mondial Ecologie Santé Résumé : AS the conjuncture of a COVID-19 health and economic crisis bears down on us, fears expressed of the human and economic toll that would result have been fully
vindicated. While the two crises are interlinked, they are mutually destructive as they make competing demands on a developing country’s limited resources. Priority given to one will be at the risk of aggravating the other crisis. There may be a proper case for an ‘economy first’ approach on the grounds that the economic scars will linger long after the health crisis is over. However, policymakers may find their options foreclosed by the speed at which the disease spreads, making the human cost of any such approach unacceptably high.Note de contenu : -State of play of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework p.2-6

Titre : The market tells them so : the World Bank and economic fundamentalism in Africa Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John Mihevc, Auteur Editeur : Third World Network Année de publication : 1995 Importance : 313 p Note générale : 09.02 MIH Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Banque mondiale
AfriqueTags : Ajustement structurel Afrique Banque mondiale Mouvements sociaux Index. décimale : 09.02 Afrique Résumé : Structural adjustment is not just economic strategy designed to assist countries in addressing technical problems related to trade, growth and the balance of payments. It embodies also, this author argues, a social, cultural and even quasi-religious vision for the remaking of Africa and the world. John Mihevc focuses on three aspects of structural adjustment in particular. He provides an entirely innovative characterization of World Bank thinking as essentially fundamentalist in the scale of ambitions, its ignoring of the complexities of social reality, and its denial of the legitimacy of contrary views of development. He gives a trenchant account of the criticisms which World Bank policies have elicited. And he considers that response from African churches and social movements representing voices of resistance and providing an alternative vision.

Titre : The 'net-zero emission fallacy' Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Meena Raman, Auteur Editeur : Third World Network Année de publication : janvier 2021 Collection : Third World Resurgence num. 347 Importance : 48 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Economie mondiale Climat Index. décimale : 01 Economie Résumé : Current targets for achieving net-zero carbon emissions fall far short of what is needed to contain climate change and allow the developed countries to evade their fair share of climate action. UN Secretary-General António Guterres, since early this year, has been calling on governments to come forward with significantly more ambitious actions by all parties under the Paris Agreement (PA) in order ‘to stop the climate crisis from becoming a permanent catastrophe’, which requires the limiting of temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius from preindustrial levels. The UNSG has called for 2030 targets from governments consistent with a net-zero pathway and has cited an exponential growth of the global coalition for net-zero emissions as a ‘central objective for the UN this year.’ Note de contenu : -The dismantling of environmental protections in Brazil p.2-3

Titre : The Power of Public Finance for the Future we Want Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Lavinia Steinfort, Auteur Editeur : Third World Network Année de publication : 1-15 Oct 2018 Collection : Third World Economics num. 674 Importance : 4 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Politique économique Tags : Politique financière Finance publique Développement durable Partenariat Public Privé Index. décimale : 02.01 Finances Résumé : It may not be a new idea, but the speed with which the Green New Deal has gained traction in the US is remarkable. Potential presidential candidates are already embracing the call and it’s firmly on the agenda for the new Congress, with 40 Democratic members demanding a firm plan be drawn up. But what is remarkable is not its popular resonance but the growing political acknowledgement that the government has the power to create the necessary trillions of dollars to not only address the climate crisis but also tackle inequality and transform the economy. It is hard to overstate the significance of this. Before the 2008 financial crisis, the mantra was that there is no alternative (TINA) to rising inequality, corporate greed and environmental destruction. After 2008, the story became that there is no more public money to pay for the alternative so we must rely on private finance. The Green New Deal turns that on its head. As its most famous spokesperson, newly elected Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez says, the framework has the potential to replicate ‘the Great Society, the moon shot, the civil rights movement of our generation’.
