It is an irony of our times that WTO and fair trade are now being presented as "development". The enlargement of free markets for global corporations in agriculture, services, and industrial products through the Doha Round is being referred to as the "Doha Development Round". And "development" will be the spin for the WTO Ministerial taking place in Hong Kong from 13th to 18th December 2005. A special "development package" has been introduced in the Draft Ministerial Text as para 37 titled Aid for Trade.

From December 13 to 18, 2005, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is meeting in Hong Kong, China. Most NGOs agree: No deal is better than a bad deal and social movements are uniting for protest against the WTO in Hong Kong and many cities around the world.
10 years of WTO - 10 years of plunder and destruction: Ten years are enough!

Will WTO Shrink or Sink?
Dr. Vandana Shiva
The WTO Ministerial at Hong Kong has already failed. For the corporate world it has failed because smaller, poorer developing countries are starting to have a say in outcomes of WTO negotiations. With the backing of peoples power on the streets they walked out of the Seattle and Cancun ministerial, exercising the highest power in democracy, the power to say 'no', the power exercised by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, the power of non-cooperation with unjust rule.

From rock singer Bob Geldof to UK politician Gordon Brown, the world suddenly seems to be full of high-profile people with their own plans to end poverty. Jeffrey Sachs, however, is not a simply a do-gooder but one of the world’s leading economists, head of the Earth Institute and in charge of a UN panel set up to promote rapid development. So when he launched his book The End of Poverty, people everywhere took notice. Time magazine even made it into a cover story.

"RECALIBRATING" THE EXPECTATIONS FOR HONG KONG AND RESCHEDULING WTO NEGOTIATIONS
At the mini-Ministerial Green Room meeting at the WTO on 8 November 2005, there was a general view that the expectations for the Hongkong Ministerial would have to be scaled down -- or "recalibrated", the word that was most used.
This is because of the continued wide divergence of views on most or all of the key issues.

The Community Economies project is a place where new visions of community and economy can be theorized, discussed, represented and enacted. The project grew out of J.K. Gibson-Graham's feminist critique of political economy (see 
http://www.all4all.org/2005/07/2024.shtml) that focused upon the limiting effects of representing economies as dominantly capitalist.

The Week in Europe
By David Jessop
There is a real possibility that the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial meeting in Hong Kong this December will fail. The meeting was intended to determine how global trade can be further liberalised in a manner that is of benefit to developing countries.

Roswitha Scholz setzt sich mit der inzwischen weitläufigen linken, aber auch bis in die bürgerlichen Medien reichenden Debatte um Rassismus, Antisemitismus, Geschlecht und Klasse im Kontext der Globalisierung auseinander.

Keine Utopie: Grundeinkommen statt gruseliger Grundsicherung
– von Anne Allex
Viele Menschen wünschen sich, in ihrem Leben grundlegend abgesichert zu sein gegen die existenziellen sozialen Risiken und Bedrohungen. Jede und jeder stellt sich allerdings unter einer solchen Absicherung etwas ganz anderes vor. Entsprechend unterschiedlich sind die Konzepte, Begriffe, Begründungen und Argumente für das, was jeweils unter sozialer Absicherung verstanden wird.
