 <title> Report on inequality in Europe: Tax harmonisation is the key to curb inequality</title>
 <link>http://voxeurop.eu/fr/2019/galit-s-5122846</link>
 <description>The World Inequality Lab has just released an unpublished report measuring the development of inequality in Europe and the United States since 1980. Entitled Has the European social model withstood the rise in inequality?, the report is the first to analyse income disparities before and after tax over such a long period, for all European countries.</description>

 <title> Poor working conditions are main global employment challenge</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41924&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Poor quality employment is the main issue for global labour markets, with millions of people forced to accept inadequate working conditions, according to a new report from the International Labour Organization (ILO). New data gathered for the World Employment and Social Outlook: Trends 2019  (WESO) show that a majority of the 3.3 billion people employed globally in 2018 had inadequate economic security, material well-being and equality of opportunity. What’s more, progress in reducing unemployment globally is not being reflected in improvements in the quality of work.</description>

 <title> For geopolitics of the euro (European Issue n°506)</title>
 <link>http://www.robert-schuman.eu/fr/questions-d-europe/0506-pour-une-geopolitique-de-l-euro</link>
 <description>The euro is a world currency. It is the official currency of 19 European States, and according to the June 2018 report by the European Central Bank (ECB) on the international role of the euro, it is by far, ahead of the pound, the yen and the renminbi, the world's second most important currency. The euro turned twenty on January 1st. Decided upon with the implementation of the Maastricht Treaty in 1993, its adoption aimed to consolidate the European market and support trade between its members.</description>

 <title> The high cost of food monopolies in Africa</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41888&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In May, global food prices increased 1.2%, reaching their highest level since October 2017. This upward trajectory is having a disproportionate impact in Africa, where the share of household income spent on food is also rising. To ensure food security, governments must work quickly to reverse these trends, and one place to start is by policing the producers who are feeding the frenzy.</description>

 <title> If Trump ruled Venice</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41867&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Marco Polo, the famous thirteenth-century Venetian merchant, was one of the first Europeans to trade with China. Now imagine that, after a while, the Venetian state became concerned that Polo was purchasing too many silks and spices from China to sell at a profit in Europe. The oetrade deficit” he was creating, the authorities worry, would deplete the stock of gold in Venice, while creating jobs for Chinese, rather than for Venetians.</description>

 <description>Global shipping is constrained by geography.
Massive oil tankers and cargo ships " carrying over 90 percent of global trade flows by weight " converge in narrow straits. The result: The world’s key shipping lanes are often crowded.
As a researcher who has focused on strategic maritime chokepoints for over 15 years, I appreciate the vital importance of these waterways " not only economically, but also politically.</description>

 <title> Sahelian women, both central and marginal</title>
 <link>http://ideas4development.org/femmes-saheliennes-centrales-marginales/</link>
 <description>According to witnesses of the great drought in the Sahel region in the 1970s, women and children were the first victims. Sahelian women are chronically weak; most of them are illiterate, were married at a very early age with, among other things, a large number of dependent children and limited access to basic services. Yet they are heroines of the fight for survival.

 <title> War, high tariffs and nationalisation – their cost to Africa’s climate</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnews.net/2018/07/war-high-tariffs-nationalisation-cost-africas-climate/</link>
 <description>Africa’s political instability, its armed conflicts and regulatory issues are placing at risk investment needed to tackle climate change and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the continent. 
oeA renewable energy developer or investor faces increased risk that their returns and earnings could decline as a result of political change, such as terrorism, expropriation (dispossession of property for public use), and sovereign breach of contract.”</description>

 <title> How can we retain the benefits of globalization?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41763&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In the last few years, for many people and their leaders, globalization has become a scourge to be purged in favor of greater protectionism and unilateralism. This represents a sharp departure from the recent past, when globalization was widely regarded as a positive force. What changed, and why?</description>

 <title> Kenya’s perfect storm</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41757&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>It’s the end of the rainy season in Kenya, and this year’s storms have been almost biblical, washing away not only people’s sunny disposition, but also their bridges, buses, livestock, and crops. But the damage cannot be blamed on the weather alone. Roads have been hit especially hard; potholes the size of cars litter highways in the capital. Near the offices of the United Nations on Limuru Road, for example, traffic backs up for a half-mile as vehicles nudge into oncoming traffic to avoid one particularly large water-filled hole. </description>

 <title> A crisis of ethical leadership</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41752&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>After World War II, the world " led by the US and Europe " reassessed international norms and institutions, and created the pillars of today’s rules-based global order. A similar reassessment is needed today, perhaps shaped by two major crises of our times: migration and international terror. But Trump’s self-serving oeAmerica First” approach is no way forward. Nor can Russia or China be trusted to defend human rights. At a time when the EU lacks the confidence and coherence to reclaim its values and champion them globally, who will?</description>

 <title> Trade wars and the clash of perceptions</title>
 <link>http://www.theglobalist.com/united-states-protectionism-trade-wto/</link>
 <description>When China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 2001, it was still a developing country. More than 15 years later, its circumstances have changed and it has turned into the world’s second-largest economy.
The WTO has served not to discipline China, which is what Trump (and to some extent the EU, albeit more discreetly) now seeks, but rather to give it global thrust. Trump wants to stop China overtaking the United States technologically. Underlying the trade war unleashed by the current U.S. President, there is a clash of perceptions. </description>

 <title> Turkmenistan: Report of inquiry to German cybersecurity firm</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41733&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>German technology companies should publicly disclose whether they are considering sales to the Turkmenistan government, Human Rights Watch said today. They should also reveal what steps they have taken to assess whether any technology sold is likely to be used by the government to block websites and carry out surveillance in violation of human rights. In February 2018, Turkmen state media outlets reported that a senior vice president at Rohde and Schwarz, a major German technology firm, had met with Turkmenistan’s President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov.</description>

 <title> 'Tourists go home, refugees welcome': why Barcelona chose migrants over visitors</title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/jun/25/tourists-go-home-refugees-welcome-why-barcelona-chose-migrants-over-visitors</link>
 <description>Early last year, around 150,000 people in Barcelona marched to demand that the Spanish government allow more refugees into the country. Shortly afterwards, oeTourists go home, refugees welcome” started appearing on the city’s walls; soon the city was inundated with protestors marching behind the slogans oeBarcelona is not for sale” and oeWe will not be driven out”. What the Spanish media dubbed turismofobia overtook several European cities last summer, with protests held and measures taken in Venice, Rome, Amsterdam, Florence, Berlin, Lisbon, Palma de Mallorca and elsewhere in Europe against the invasion of visitors. </description>

 <title> Boycotting: Putting power back in the hands of consumers</title>

 <description>Nestlé, Lactalis, Coca Cola... not one of these brands are strangers to scandals. While the French media continue to report on the Lactalis affair, Germany recently experienced a scandal of its own. It’s Haribo’s turn to face the critics. A few uncomfortable truths can be found behind the brand’s cute yellow teddy bear, including labour practices described as oemodern slavery”, unhygienic working conditions and accusations of animal abuse. German public broadcaster ARD denounced the deplorable working conditions for Haribo employees in some parts of the world, revealing how the company exploited Brazilian workers whose salaries and working conditions violate human rights laws.</description>

 <title> The Anatomy of Global Debt</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41719&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>At the end of May, the International Monetary Fund launched its new Global Debt Database. For the first time, IMF statisticians have compiled a comprehensive set of calculations of both public and private debt, country by country, constructing a time series stretching back to the end of World War II. It is an impressive piece of work.
The headline figure is striking. Global debt has hit a new high of 225% of world GDP, exceeding the previous record of 213% in 2009. So, as the IMF points out, there has been no deleveraging at all at the global level since the 2007-2008 financial crisis. In some countries, the composition of debt changed, as public debt replaced private debt in the post-crisis recession, but that shift has now mostly stopped.</description>

 <title> Why Italians are fed up with Europe</title>
 <link>http://voxeurop.eu/fr/2018/economie-et-politique-5122045</link>
 <description>Two Eurosceptic forces are now governing Italy. On one hand the 5-Star Movement, the anti-system party of Luigi de Maio founded by the humorist Beppe Grillo. On the other, far-right xenophobic Liga led by Matteo Salvini. How could this have happened? How did one of the European Union's six founding members, host of Treaty of Rome in 1957, and for a long time the EU's most Europhile country, give a parliamentary majority to groups so hostile to European integration?</description>

 <title> Can the euro be saved?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41684&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The euro may be approaching another crisis. Italy, the eurozone’s third largest economy, has chosen what can at best be described as a Euroskeptic government. This should surprise no one. The backlash in Italy is another predictable (and predicted) episode in the long saga of a poorly designed currency arrangement, in which the dominant power, Germany, impedes the necessary reforms and insists on policies that exacerbate the inherent problems, using rhetoric seemingly intended to inflame passions.</description>

 <title> Strengthening African science</title>

 <description>Any good leader knows that scientific discovery and innovation fuels progress, facilitates development, and can help tackle issues like food insecurity, water shortages, and climate change. And yet most African governments are failing to fund research and development adequately in their countries.
In late March, Africa’s leading scientists, innovators, and policymakers met in Kigali, Rwanda, to brainstorm solutions to an increasingly pressing problem: the low quality of science on the continent.</description>

 <title> Greece: SDGs a way to end economic crisis?</title>

 <description>Seven years after being on the verge of a financial collapse, Greece is now seeing better times. Its economic accounts have clearly improved but what is not under the spotlight is how the Greek people are still paying for the effects of the crisis. During these past years, the country has achieved some partial gains. It is the first time, since 2011, that economic accounts of Greece are so encouraging that the country is looking with some optimism to the month of August 2018 when the last phase of European aid will be over definitely.</description>

 <title> How Airbnb lobbies Brussels</title>

 <description>The short-term property-rental platforms have seen the potential for influence over those EU bodies which are supposed to regulate them, and are now putting resources into it.
"This is a mistake that needs sanctioning by European law." Such was the reaction of the Union nationale pour la promotion de location de vacances (UNPLV), the industry body representing short-term rental platforms like Airbnb, HomeAway and TripAdvisor, after presentation of France's Elan housing law in April, which increases the responsibility of digital tourism companies. </description>

 <title> Australia remains preferred destination for millionaire migrants</title>

 <description>Australia is the millionaires’ migration destination of choice for the third year running, according to a new report, with wealthy individuals lured by the country’s proximity to Asia, relative safety and no inheritance taxes.
About 10,000 high-net-worth individuals, with a personal wealth of US$1m or more, migrated to Australia in 2017 " mostly from China, India and the UK.
Melbourne and Sydney were among the top 10 cities around the world to have a net immigration of millionaires, as was Auckland in New Zealand. Sydney is one of the wealthiest cities worldwide.</description>

 <title> Madmen in Authority</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41642&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>With concerns about Italy's public debt growing, Italian populists have taken a page from US President Donald Trump's playbook and threatened to blow up the eurozone if they don't get their way. The European Union must resist the temptation to engage in a dangerous game of chicken. (...) Yet even without prescriptive theories, feigning oefrenzy” or madness can also be a plausible, powerful, and rather contagious negotiating strategy. In the early 1970s, US President Richard Nixon adopted the tactic to convince the North Vietnamese that he had his finger on the oenuclear button,” and that they had better negotiate a deal to end the war " or else. </description>

 <title> Italy and the euro cannot be saved by mass-immigration</title>
 <link>http://gefira.org/en/2018/05/29/mass-immigration-will-not-solve-italys-financial-collapse/</link>
 <description>The ongoing euro crisis has never been and will never be solved. The native European populations are shrinking and this will have a consequence for the economy, production and public finance. The demographic decline is the single most important economic phenomenon. We do not doubt that the annual visitors to the Global Economic Forum in Davos are fully aware of it: they know that the European and East Asian populations are decreasing and that 18 of the 20 top economies will never experience sustainable growth again.</description>

 <description>The world is no doubt in a state of turmoil. Or should we rather acknowledge that nowadays it is no longer a temporal state of being, but rather, that we live under permanent transformation and in constant turbulence, as a result of technological development and an accelerated economy. The truth is that since the last century, history has undergone continued changes that have brought us in their unfolding to the current state of play: a scenario where the neoliberal capitalist model is itself in risk, with its basic pillars swaying while the economy is demanding new liberalization agendas to cement the model.</description>

 <title> Saving the Sacred Cow
Yanis Varoufakis’s vision for a more democratic Europe.</title>
 <link>http://www.thenation.com/article/can-yanis-varoufakis-save-europe/</link>
 <description>The idea of a unified Europe didn’t always elicit the current mixture of exasperation, boredom, and rage, in politicians and ordinary people alike. In fact, there was a time when the European Union seemed like a great initiative, especially on a continent ravaged first by two hot wars, then broken in half by a cold one. A permanent peace between neighboring nations founded on a common market and sealed with freedom of movement for all might have required bureaucratic impositions, but it also functioned as an insurance policy.</description>

 <title> Automation and American Leadership</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41527&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Not so long ago, there were two competing explanations of unemployment. The first was the Keynesian theory of deficient demand, which holds that workers become unemployed oeinvoluntarily” when their community lacks the money to buy the goods and services they produce. The second was the view often associated with the Chicago School, according to which unemployment is a voluntary choice of leisure over work at whatever the offered wage.
Now, a third explanation is gaining traction: declines in full-time work opportunities and real wages are both due to automation. To be sure, the idea that robots are gobbling up human jobs is a new slant on the very old problem of technological unemployment. But it is a slant that merits attention, because the problem cannot be solved with the conventional policy responses.</description>

The Israeli company Neema will provide the technology and support to launch an initial coin offering (ICO) that is expected to raise $30 million, half of which Neema will keep.The Marshall Islands’ parliament passed the law that will create the cryptocurrency, known as the sovereign (SOV) earlier this month, giving it full legal status as a currency to be used alongside the US dollar. Unlike bitcoin, all 24 million of the sovereign coins will be issued at once with 6 million being sold to foreign investors and 2.4 million going to Marshallese residents.</description>

 <title> Trump’s Trade Confusion</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41519&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The trade skirmish between the United States and China on steel, aluminum, and other goods is a product of US President Donald Trump’s scorn for multilateral trade arrangements and the World Trade Organization, an institution that was created to adjudicate trade disputes.
Before announcing import tariffs on more than 1,300 types of Chinese-made goods worth around $60 billion per year, in early March Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs of 25% on steel and 10% on aluminum, which he justified on the basis of national security. Trump insists that a tariff on a small fraction of imported steel " the price of which is set globally " will suffice to address a genuine strategic threat.</description>

 <link>http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12036138</link>
 <description>Australia's most crucial trade relationship is under threat " and the impact could take a serious toll on the country's industries.
Chinese ambassador to Australia Cheng Jingye has criticised the state of Canberra and Beijing's relationship, warning that Australia needs to do more to "increase mutual trust".
"If there is a growing lack of mutual trust, in the long run, it may have some undesirable impact (on trade relations with China)," he told The Australian today.</description>

 <title> Growing inequalities in European pension schemes</title>
 <link>http://www.voxeurop.eu/fr/2018/retraites-5121814</link>
 <description>Along with the increase in life-expectancy, which adds to the number of years on pension (19.6 years for women and 14.6 for men in 1990, compared to 22.5 and 18.1 on average today, respectively, in the OECD), and thus public spending on pensions, as the baby-boomer generation reaches retirement and the the birth-rate stabilises to a relatively low level across the OECD, there is a real risk of a reduction in the replacement rate (pension payments compared to pre-retirement earnings, expressed as a percentage) for future pensioners, and an increase in public costs for pension schemes.</description>

 <title> Europe 2050: Demographic Suicide</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41403&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A deafening silence surrounds Europe's demographic suicide, projected for 2050. Although demographic projections for major world regions up to then are known and re-evaluated every two years by the United Nations and regularly by Eurostat for EU Member States, only a data base specialist could use the figures. In fact, no one mentions these alarming numbers, especially not in Brussels where technology, sustainable development or energy transition are the preferred topics for reports. In what follows, we reveal how economic growth and productivity have not been linked to key indicators in population figures.
Here we are fulfilling our duty as whistle blowers, even though we will no longer be around to say (sadly) 'told you so'. Unlike North America, which should see its population rise by 75 million inhabitants (two times less than the number for South America), the Europe of 28 (EU-28) could stagnate in 2050 at approximately 500 million people while losing 49 million people of working age (20-64). That number means 11 million potentially active workers fewer in Germany and 7 to 8 million fewer in Spain and Italy. Meanwhile, France will be content to catch up with Germany, something the United Kingdom will likely achieve even earlier.</description>

 <description>Species of wild rice, wheat and yam are threatened by overly intensive agricultural production and urban expansion, whilst poor fishing practices have caused steep declines in the Irrawaddy Dolphin and Finless Porpoise, according to the latest update of The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species". Today’s Red List update also reveals that a drying climate is pushing the Ringtail Possum to the brink of extinction.</description>

 <title> Trump’s Unethical Aid Cuts</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41337&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The truth is that it is the United States that is not paying its fair share. Long ago, the United Nations called on rich countries to raise their foreign aid to 0.7% of their gross national income (which of course is very different from government spending). In 2016, according to OECD figures, the United Arab Emirates, Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Denmark, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Germany reached that level. In contrast, official US aid amounted to only 0.18% of gross national income, or 18 cents for every $100 dollars earned. </description>

 <title> Saudi Arabia’s Game of Thrones</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41306&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Trump’s visit was a major victory for Saudi Arabia. US-Saudi relations had reached a nadir during former US President Barack Obama’s tenure, but they have now been reset. During his visit, Trump emphasized the importance of the US-Saudi strategic relationship, offered his full support in Saudi Arabia’s rivalry with Iran for regional primacy, and signed various business and investment deals worth many billions of dollars.

MBS, who is nothing if not ambitious, has set two broad goals for Saudi Arabia. The first, which he outlines in a program called Vision 2030, is to diversify the Saudi economy, by reducing its heavy dependence on oil revenues, and creating good jobs outside of the oil sector. MBS is convinced that Saudi Arabia’s vast oil reserves will be far less valuable in the future, owing to the rise of alternative fuels and renewable-energy technologies. </description>

 <title> Myths of Globalization: 
Noam Chomsky and Ha-Joon Chang in Conversation </title>
 <link>http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/41037-myths-of-globalization-noam-chomsky-and-ha-joon-chang-in-conversation</link>
 <description>Since the late 1970s, the world's economy and dominant nations have been marching to the tune of (neoliberal) globalization, whose impact and effects on average people's livelihood and communities everywhere are generating great popular discontent, accompanied by a rising wave of nationalist and anti-elitist sentiments. But what exactly is driving globalization? And who really benefits from globalization? Are globalization and capitalism interwoven? How do we deal with the growing levels of inequality and massive economic insecurity? Should progressives and radicals rally behind the call for the introduction of a universal basic income? In the unique and exclusive interview below, two leading minds of our time, linguist and public intellectual Noam Chomsky and Cambridge University economist Ha-Joon Chang, share their views on these essential questions. </description>

 <title> Slovak study fuels concerns about lower quality food in Eastern Europe</title>
 <link>http://www.euractiv.fr/section/alimentation/news/slovak-study-fuels-concerns-about-lower-quality-food-in-eastern-europe/</link>
 <description>A study carried out by the Slovak government has found significant quality differences in the same products sold in Slovakia and Austria.

For several years there has been speculation about the dual-quality foodstuffs phenomenon, where multinational companies sell products under the same trademark and the same packaging but which actually contain different ingredients.

In addition, sometimes the quality is also different, raising concerns about consumer health.</description>

 <title> Global Left vs. Global Right:
From 1945 to Today</title>
 <link>http://iwallerstein.com/global-left-vs-global-right-from-1945-to-today/</link>
 <description>So, where are we? The economic conservatives first won out and then lost strength. The succeeding socio-cultural conservatives first won out and then lost strength. Yet the Global Left seems nonetheless to flounder. This is because they have not yet been willing to accept that the struggle between the Global Left and the Global Right is a class struggle and that this should be made explicit.

In the ongoing structural crisis of the modern world-system, which began in the 1970s and will probably last another 20-40 years, the issue is not the reform of capitalism, but its successor system. If the Global Left is to win that battle, it must solidly ally the anti-austerity forces with the multicultural forces. Only recognizing that both groups represent the same bottom 80% of the world’s population makes it likely that they can win out. They need to struggle against the top 1% and seek to attract the other 19% to their side. That is exactly what one means by a class struggle.</description>

 <title> Declaration of 9 may 1950</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41165&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>World peace cannot be safeguarded without the making of creative efforts proportionate to the dangers which threaten it.

The contribution which an organised and living Europe can bring to civilisation is indispensable to the maintenance of peaceful relations. In taking upon herself for more than 20 years the role of champion of a united Europe, France has always had as her essential aim the service of peace. A united Europe was not achieved and we had war. 

Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity. The coming together of the nations of Europe requires the elimination of the age-old opposition of France and Germany.

 <title> Ending inequality</title>
 <link>http://regardssurlaterre.com/dossier/vaincre-les-inegalites</link>
 <description>In 2015 the world has never been richer, if wealth is measured in terms of goods and services consumed and produced. And this wealth has never been so unevenly distributed. The share of national wealth owned by the richest 1% and 10%, in countries where tax data are available, reach the peak levels of the beginning of the last century. Rising inequality within countries is also observed at the global scale. By 2016, half of the world’s wealth will be owned by 1% of the Earth’s population.

This seemingly inexorable resurgence of inequality would be even more alarming if it was not accompanied by an equally unprecedented countermeasure: for the first time, the reduction of domestic income inequality has been put onto the international development agenda " it is one of the universal Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 10) that were adopted in September 2015 at the end of the United Nations General Assembly.</description>

 <title> Dutch tulips, sub-prime loans and the trouble with regulating finance</title>
 <link>http://www.weforum.org/es/agenda/2017/03/la-cooperacion-financiera-internacional-sigue-siendo-crucial</link>
 <description>[...] The 2008 global financial crisis was exceptionally severe in the magnitude, breadth, and persistence of its effects, but it is one in a long series of financial crises stretching back centuries. Not only do crises cause financial losses for professional investors; more importantly, they impose high human costs for those who lose their jobs, homes, and savings. To protect their citizens, governments generally adopt an array of financial regulations designed to reduce the risk of a failure that could reverberate across the economy. These include balance-sheet standards, insider trading rules, broader conflict-of-interest laws, and consumer protections.</description>

 <title> Why the majority of the world’s poor are women</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41025&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Gender inequality is one of the oldest and most pervasive forms of inequality in the world. It denies women their voices, devalues their work and make women’s position unequal to men’s, from the household to the national and global levels.
Despite some important progress to change this in recent years, in no country have women achieved economic equality with men, and women are still more likely than men to live in poverty. [...] 

Gender inequality in the economy costs women in developing countries $9 trillion a year " a sum which would not only give new spending power to women and benefit their families and communities, but would also provide a massive boost to the economy as a whole.</description>

Growing inequalities, the situation of oelosers” and the oedownwardly mobile”, and the lack of transparency in negotiations all cast doubt on the capacity of international trade to contribute to progress.

 <title> Just 8 men own same wealth as half the world </title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40817&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Eight men own the same wealth as the 3.6 billion people who make up the poorest half of humanity, according to a new report published by Oxfam today to mark the annual meeting of political and business leaders in Davos.
Oxfam’s report, ‘An economy for the 99 percent’, shows that the gap between rich and poor is far greater than had been feared. It details how big business and the super-rich are fuelling the inequality crisis by dodging taxes, driving down wages and using their power to influence politics. It calls for a fundamental change in the way we manage our economies so that they work for all people, and not just a fortunate few. [...]
Seven out of 10 people live in a country that has seen a rise in inequality in the last 30 years.  Between 1988 and 2011 the incomes of the poorest 10 percent increased by just $65 per person, while the incomes of the richest 1 percent grew by $11,800 per person " 182 times as much.

 <title> The TPP is dead, long live liberalization!</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40754&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Trump has just announced his agenda for the first 100 days of government. One of the outstanding points in the matter of commercial strategy is the abandonment of the Trans Pacific Treaty, or TPP. [...] One of the fundamental points of the campaign of Donald Trump was the sharp criticism of the Free Trade Agreements that the US signed in the past twenty years, including the one that was signed with Mexico and Canada in 1994 (NAFTA). Trump and his team identified the FTAs as the devil itself, for having been the causes of the loss of jobs in the country. In accord with official data from Washington, between 1997 and 2013 the US lost 5.4 million manufacturing jobs, as some 82,000 factories were closed. In effect, the FTAs legally guaranteed the rights of US businesses outside the country. In their form of Direct Foreign Investment, these companies were protagonists of the relocation of production to Southeast Asia and China, fleeing from the high cost of US labour. Why stay at home, if the exterior is so attractive for profits.</description>

 <description>For Dussel Peters, who coordinates the Latin America-China Academic Network (RED ALC-China) from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), understanding the makeup of China’s unique public sector is critical. And not just for those Mexican businesspeople and politicians left scratching their heads as to why three major infrastructure deals backed by the Chinese, including the infamous Mexico City-Querétaro bullet train, have fallen through in recent years. Other Latin American institutions underfunding research into China or approaching it from the study of manifold Asia-Latin America relations, would do well to look beyond grand " and unhelpful " narratives.</description>

 <title> Greece’s Perpetual Crisis</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40731&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Since the summer of 2015, Greece has (mostly) dropped out of the news, but not because its economic condition has stabilized. A prison is not newsworthy as long as the inmates suffer quietly. It is only when they stage a rebellion, and the authorities crack down, that the satellite trucks appear. 
In the interim, the focus in Europe has shifted to Brexit, xenophobic right-wing populism in Austria and Germany, and Italy’s constitutional referendum, which brought down Matteo Renzi’s government. Soon, attention will shift again, this time to France’s crumbling political center. But, lest we forget, the inane management of Europe’s debt crisis began in Greece. A minor country in the grand scheme of things in Europe became a test case for a strategy that could be likened to rolling a snowball uphill. The resulting avalanches have been undermining the EU’s legitimacy ever since. </description>

 <title> Energy transition in Latin America</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40581&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Thanks to Chinese energy companies, Latin America is increasingly exploiting its renewable energy potential as historic laggards like Argentina get on board with the region’s energy transition. New wind and solar projects are under construction across the region as partnerships with Chinese deliver affordable finance and materials to local governments and businesses.
Along with Costa Rica, Uruguay is now running on almost 100% renewable energy.  In 2015, the country installed more than 316 MW, meaning its total installed capacity is now 845 MW. Now several others are following in their footsteps. Chile generates the most power from solar energy, while neighboring Argentina has just completed the bidding process for 1,100 MW of renewable energy.</description>

 <title> Globalization is wearing out. Now is the time for BRICS</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40579&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>At the end of the cold war, the Western block, commanded by the US, announced that history was coming to an end. There would be events, but nothing outside the capitalist market economy and liberal democracy. This was the end of history.
Neoliberal globalization was charged with making these economic and political schemes universal. The Pax Americana was imposed. But the shift from a bipolar world to a unipolar one under US imperial hegemony, did not bring peace or economic development. On the contrary, the hotspots of war have multiplied and the economic recession has turned global.

 <title> Egypt and Tunisia’s Divergent Paths</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40571&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>It has been five years since Egypt and Tunisia underwent regime change, and both countries are still suffering from low economic growth, large fiscal deficits, high unemployment, and rising public debts. Having failed to institute reforms on their own, both have turned to the International Monetary Fund, which entered into an arrangement with Tunisia in 2013 and has just approved a $12 billion loan program for Egypt " the country’s first since 1991, and the largest ever for a Middle Eastern country.
On the face of it, countries moving toward democracy seem as likely to experience poor economic performance as countries moving toward renewed dictatorship, because political instability and uncertainty of any kind naturally hurt investment and growth. But Tunisia has embraced political inclusion, and could soon find itself back on the path toward healthy economic growth, while Egypt’s closing society positions its economy for a downward spiral. </description>

 <title> Bolivia: an efficaciously prudent economy </title>

 <description>Bolivia drives in its own lane, with a GDP growth this year above 4.5%. At a time when the world economy is contracting, with unfavourable winds, the Andean country is sustaining its growth. Why? The reason is very simple. Evo Morales never trusted the cycles of the world economy.
From the beginning of his mandate in 2006, Bolivia built its own economic order. By no means an autarchic one, nor disconnected from the world. On the contrary: an economic model connected to the outside, but in a sovereign and intelligent way. </description>

So when the world, in total awe, learns about the record fine of $14 billion that the United States imposed on Deutsche Bank, one could certainly look horrified at the violations committed by this bank, but one must also see the interest which this sanction serves. [...] this is a quite convenient bogeyman to forget about the current US difficulties.</description>

 <description>The aftermath of the United Kingdom’s unexpected vote in June to leave the European Union is being monitored closely. People all over the world " and particularly in Europe " want to know how Brexit will unfold, not just to manage its specific effects, but also to gain insight into what is likely to happen if other upcoming votes tip in favor of nationalist agendas.</description>

 <title> Why Joseph Stiglitz is wrong </title>
 <link>http://www.voxeurop.eu/de/content/article/5111788-warum-joseph-stiglitz-falsch-liegt</link>
 <description>Joseph Stiglitz, American economist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, has come out with a new book, The Euro : How a Common Currency Threatens the Future of Europe. [...] Still, he expects that ‘the end of the single currency does not mean the end of the European project.’ That position, however, betrays a deep misapprehension of the realities of Europe.
Like most American economists, who hold strongly to the theory of ‘optimum currency areas’, Joseph Stiglitz has been sharply critical of the single currency project from the outset, back in the 1990s. The idea of optimum currency areas was first explored in the early 1960s by Canadian Robert Mundell, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1999 for his studies.

 <title> Microfinancing Climate Resilience</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40138&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Vulnerable communities face the brunt of climate change " from rising sea levels and extreme weather events to prolonged severe droughts and flooding. According to the World Bank, without effective mitigation measures, climate change could push more than 100 million people into poverty by 2030.
To help the most vulnerable communities become more resilient to the effects of climate change, financial institutions should support small and medium-size enterprises.  </description>

 <title> From multilateralism to neoregionalism</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40090&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Recalling the 1932 agreement, Obama says in the Washington Post: "The world has changed. The rules change with it. The United States and not China should write them". Obama buried the multilateralism of the WTO with his phrase and is ready to define the rules unilaterally. Perhaps it should be baptized an "imperial agreement" like the 1932 agreement. In any event it points to the weakness of multilateralism. The manner in which the negotiations were held points to the privatization of global governance. It was negotiated privately.</description>

 <title> After the Swiss basic income vote – learning political lessons is key! </title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39961&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>On June 5, the Swiss voted on the proposal to provide a basic income sufficient to allow the people to live in a dignified manner and participate in public life. The proposal was voted down with 23.1% of the voters in favour and 76.9% against. With a participation rate of 46.3% that boils down to a little over 10% of the Swiss population supporting basic income. No doubt the Swiss campaigners as well as those watching the referendum closely will be conducting a post-mortem of what happened and how to interpret these results.</description>

 <description>From changes in government in Argentina and Brazil to mid-course policy corrections in Chile, Latin American politics appears to be undergoing a rightward shift. But rather than being oepulled” by the attractiveness of the economic policies that the right is advocating, this complex phenomenon is predominantly a reflection of the oepush” implied by anemic growth and the disappointing provision of public goods, especially social services. </description>

 <description>The window of opportunity to complete the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the United States and the European Union is closing quickly. National elections will be held this year and next in the US, France, and Germany, and the campaigns will play out in an environment that is increasingly hostile to international agreements in any form. The biggest risk might come from the least likely source: Germany, an export powerhouse. </description>

 <description>The systemic crisis is spreading much faster in the real economy than in 2008-2009. This low dormancy is a sign that the economic protection dikes are severely lowered, the synergies are broken and the common strategies of global resilience have vanished. Within this statistical fog, not even fully lifted yet, our team needs once more to assess the health of the real economy, particularly in the United States.</description>

 <description>The oeBrexiteers” " those who want Britain to leave the European Union " argue that their goal would be virtually cost-free and have no effect on the United Kingdom’s global trade. They are wrong. On June 23, when voters in Britain cast their ballots in the referendum on the question, they need to consider what is actually involved in leaving the EU " and how the free-trade benefits they now enjoy (and take for granted) could be maintained after Brexit.</description>

 <description>Greece is again in the media, because a new negotiation is due between the embattled country and its creditors. The North-South divide of Europe is coming back with force (while the East-West relationship is increasingly looking as beyond repair). The German minister of Finance, Wolfgang Schäuble , has come back with his peculiar view of the economy as a branch of moral and ethical discipline, and not as a reading of reality. He has asked the Greeks oeto not get distracted” by the refugees crisis, and not forget their primary task, which is to pay their debt.</description>

They assert that after oeBrexit”, the UK could quickly negotiate a bespoke agreement with the EU that offers all the benefits of free trade without the costs of EU membership; strike better trade deals with other countries; and reap huge benefits from scrapping burdensome EU regulations. But this is a delusion.</description>

 <title> Is Globalization Really Fueling Populism?</title>

 <description>On both sides of the Atlantic, populism of the left and the right is on the rise. Its most visible standard-bearer in the United States is Donald Trump, the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nominee. In Europe, there are many strands " from Spain’s leftist Podemos party to France’s right-wing National Front " but all share the same opposition to centrist parties, and to the establishment in general. What accounts for voters’ growing revolt against the status quo? </description>

 <title> Geopolitical issues in the Southern Cone – A view from Buenos Aires</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39777&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The new Argentinian government will probably concentrate more on the economic, environmental and security challenges of the South Atlantic, than stressing the Malvinas issue as its main foreign policy priority.
The central geopolitical issue for all Southern Cone countries is the singular relevance of the South Atlantic, because of increasing global demand for strategic natural resources during the last decade and the resurgence of South Atlantic routes as an important means of international communications and trade. The preoccupation that the South Atlantic might therefore become a zone of power projection by extra-regional international actors is shared not only by all Southern Cone countries but also by their African counterparts.</description>

 <description>The financial meltdown of 2008 prompted calls for a global financial system that curtails trade imbalances, moderates speculative capital flows, and prevents systemic contagion. That, of course, was the goal of the original Bretton Woods system. But such a system today would be both untenable and undesirable. So, what might an alternative look like?</description>

These regions represent the vast majority of global population and wealth, [...] But an unintended consequence of this focus is that many governments, corporations, and people are missing much of what is going on in Latin America. And much of what is going on in Latin America right now happens to be good. </description>

 <description>From the strict perspective of some investors, astute financial management by a company to bolster its share price is a good thing. By this narrow logic, when it comes to the pharmaceutical industry, we should be unconcerned if drug firms’ share prices are boosted not by new discoveries, but by financial maneuvers, such as share buybacks or tax inversion.

 <description>The financial secrecy and tax evasion revealed by the Panama Papers has an extraordinary human cost in developing countries and threatens the realisation of the UN’s ambitious Sustainable Development Goals.
The ongoing leak " made public by media outlets including German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) " has already prompted protests and investigations around the world. The papers connect thousands of prominent figures to secretive offshore companies in 21 tax havens and reveal the inner workings of the offshore finance industry.</description>

 <title> Anti-Trade America?</title>

 <description>The rise of anti-trade populism in the 2016 US election campaign portends a dangerous retreat from the United States’ role in world affairs. In the name of reducing US inequality, presidential candidates in both parties would stymie the aspirations of hundreds of millions of desperately poor people in the developing world to join the middle class. If the political appeal of anti-trade policies proves durable, it will mark a historic turning point in global economic affairs, one that bodes ill for the future of American leadership. </description>

 <title> Declining demand: Is reality creeping in?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39385&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Neoliberal ideology has dominated world discourse for the first fifteen years of the twenty-first century. The mantra has been that the only viable policy for governments and social movements was to give priority to something called the market. Resistance to this belief became minimal, as even parties and movements that called themselves left or at least left-of-center abandoned their traditional emphasis on welfare-state measures and accepted the validity of this market-oriented position. They argued that at most one could soften its impact by retaining some small part of the historic safety nets that states had built over more than 150 years. 
Is that day over? Is there what a recent article in Le Monde called a "timid" return by Establishment institutions to concern about sustaining demand? There are at least two signs of this, both of considerable weight. </description>

 <description>As part of continuing efforts to boost transparency by multinational enterprises (MNEs), 31 countries[1] signed today the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement (MCAA) for the automatic exchange of Country-by-Country reports. The signing ceremony marks an important milestone towards implementation of the OECD/G20 BEPS Project and a significant increase in cross-border cooperation on tax matters.
The MCAA will enable consistent and swift implementation of new transfer pricing reporting standards developed under Action 13 of the BEPS Action Plan.

 <description>The two characters that comprise the Chinese word for crisis mean, individually, oedanger” and oeopportunity”. That is precisely what China sees in today’s Middle East.
Of course, China’s success in the Middle East requires progress on mitigating the region’s tensions, cooling its hotspots, and stabilizing weak countries " all of which will require smart diplomacy by many actors. But peace and development are inextricably linked. To turn the tide against extremism, Middle Eastern countries must be able to provide economic opportunities to their people, and these can only be secured through trade, investment, and jobs. In this fundamental respect, China has a lot to offer the Middle East " and President Xi has once again shown his determination to offer it.

 <title> Employment review: Investing in people is key to economic growth</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39083&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Commissioner Marianne Thyssen has presented the Commission's 'Employment and Social Developments in Europe' (ESDE) report for 2015 which gives a review of the latest employment and social trends, reflecting on upcoming challenges and possible policy responses.
This year's review reveals further positive employment and social developments in the EU. However, despite recent improvements, huge disparities still exist between Member States, in terms of economic growth, employment and other key social and labour market indicators. Many of these disparities are linked to an underutilisation of human capital on several fronts. The 2015 ESDE report looks at ways of tackling these disparities, focusing in particular on job creation, labour market efficiency, social protection modernisation and investment in people.</description>

 <title> The Oil Pricequake: Political Turmoil in a Time of Low Energy Prices</title>
 <link>http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/34377-the-oil-pricequake-political-turmoil-in-a-time-of-low-energy-prices</link>
 <description>As 2015 drew to a close, many in the global energy industry were praying that the price of oil would bounce back from the abyss, restoring the petroleum-centric world of the past half-century.  All evidence, however, points to a continuing depression in oil prices in 2016 - one that may, in fact, stretch into the 2020s and beyond.  Given the centrality of oil (and oil revenues) in the global power equation, this is bound to translate into a profound shakeup in the political order, with petroleum-producing states from Saudi Arabia to Russia losing both prominence and geopolitical clout.</description>

 <link>http://www.euractiv.fr/sections/euro-finances/est-ce-la-fin-de-la-rigueur-en-europe-320709</link>
 <description>The European Commission has been quietly relaxing its approach to member states that break the budgetary rules, in order to avoid harming the bloc's fragile economic growth. This approach could not be more different from the years 2011-2013, when countries in deficit were subjected to severe "adjustments", to borrow the technocratic term, which pushed the eurozone to the brink of the recession from which it is still struggling to recover.</description>

 <title> What challenges will Latin America face in 2016?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38999&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Latin America isn’t the same as it was at the beginning of the millennium. The commodities boom was the engine behind significant achievements in employment, salaries and poverty levels across the region, which ended up changing the economic landscape.
A reality promoted, without a doubt, by the rise of China. But after over a decade of growth, the tides have changed for Latin America. It’s anticipated that the region will have to adapt to a new reality of low growth in 2016, precisely because of the slowdown in the Asian giant, among other reasons.
However, while the adverse effects of the global economic slowdown are making themselves felt " higher levels of informal employment, lower salaries " Augusto de la Torre, Chief Economist for Latin America and the Caribbean for the World Bank says it is key that Latin American countries don’t lose sight of the social gains won over the past 15 years.</description>

 <title> The Transitions of 2016</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38996&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Putting all of this together, global growth in 2016 will be disappointing and uneven. The global economy’s medium-term growth prospects have weakened as well, because potential growth is being held back by low productivity, aging populations, and the legacies of the global financial crisis. High debt, low investment, and weak banks continue to burden some advanced economies, especially in Europe; and many emerging economies continue to face adjustments after their post-crisis credit and investment boom.
This outlook is heavily affected by some major economic transitions that are creating global spillovers and spillbacks, particularly China’s transition to a new growth model and the normalization of US monetary policy.

 <title> Globalization or Multipolarisation – Which Way Is the World Heading?</title>
 <link>http://www.credit-suisse.com/fr/en/about-us/responsibility/news-stories/articles/news-and-expertise/2015/10/fr/globalization-or-multipolarisation-which-way-is-the-world-heading.html</link>
 <description>Though globalization has been dominating the world in the past decades we start to observe a change in the balance of the world. The emergence of new economical power of China as well as growing importance of the European Union, distributes the world power into three centers: Europe, Asia and Americas. Is today's world multipolar rather than globalized? Let's have a closer look at the factors which may influence the possible outcomes.</description>

 <title> Why Finance Can Save the Planet</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38644&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Most people hate finance, viewing it as the epitome of irresponsibility and greed. But, even after causing a once-in-a-century recession and unemployment for millions, finance looks indispensable for preventing an even worse catastrophe: climate change.
Action is urgently needed to contain global warming and prevent a disaster for humanity; yet the global community is desperately short of tools. There is not much support for the most desirable solutions advocated by economists, such as a global cap on greenhouse-gas emissions, coupled with a trading system, or the enforcement of a worldwide carbon price through a global tax on CO2 emissions.
Instead, negotiations for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris in December are being conducted on the basis of voluntary, unilateral pledges called Intended Nationally Determined Contributions. Although the inclusion of voluntary targets has the merit of creating global momentum, this approach is unlikely to result in commitments that are both binding and commensurate to the challenge.</description>

 <title> Global Financial Stability: Vulnerabilities, Legacies, and Policy Challenges</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38626&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Today global financial stability is not yet assured and downside risks prevail. Our recommendation is for an urgent upgrade in policies, to avoid downside risks and to achieve our upside scenario of oesuccessful normalization” of monetary and financial conditions. This will secure financial stability and strengthen the economic recovery.
Let me first provide you with our overall assessment for financial stability. How has it changed since our April Global Financial Stability Report?  Here I have some good news. Financial stability has improved in advanced economies, as the economic recovery has broadened and solidified. The Federal Reserve has indicated that monetary policy lift-off is close in the United States as the economic preconditions are nearly in place. In the euro area the policies of the European Central Bank have gained traction and credit conditions are improving.
However, as flagged in this and our April 2015 report, risks have rotated toward emerging economies. Although many of these countries have enhanced their policy frameworks and resilience to external shocks, several face substantial domestic imbalances. Growth is slowing for the fifth year in a row, as the commodity super cycle and unprecedented credit booms have come to an end. </description>

 <title> South Asia Not Taking Full Economic Advantage of Urbanization</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38586&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Although they have made progress, South Asian countries have struggled to make the most of the opportunity urbanization provides them to transform their economies to join the ranks of richer nations, a World Bank report released today said.
Difficulty in dealing with the pressures that increased urban populations put on infrastructure, basic services, land, housing and the environment have fostered what the report calls oemessy and hidden” urbanization.  This, in turn, has helped to constrain the region’s full realization of the prosperity and livability benefits of urbanization.
oeIf managed well, urbanization can lead to sustainable growth by increasing productivity, allowing innovation and new ideas to emerge,” said World Bank Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer Sri Mulyani Indrawati.

 <title> Two examples of financial regionalism</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38537&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), proposed by China, presently with 57 founding members, is an alternative multilateral institution for the financing of infrastructure in emerging economies, principally in Asia, from the building of roads and airports to communication antennas and economic housing (1). This differs from the Banco del Sur, whose preoccupation was the recirculation of savings and international reserves within South America, the Asian Bank is preoccupied with including countries that have the technology to build the kind of infrastructure that Asia needs for the XXI century. As they are less worried about the draining of resources and more with the quality of new infrastructure, China has promoted the incorporation of European members, to the indignation of the United States. For the [US] Treasury, this bank competes with the World Bank, something that the Banco del Sur would not have done.</description>

 <title> G20 caught in weak economic and jobs recovery spiral</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38536&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>oeA weak economic recovery continues to weigh heavily on G20 labour markets, while the persistent lack of decent jobs is in turn hurting the recovery,” said ILO Director-General Guy Ryder, who’s taking part in the G20 Labour and Employment Ministers meeting and their joint meeting with G20 Finance Ministers in Ankara.
The current pattern of slow economic growth and insufficient job creation in G20 countries reflects a self-reinforcing cycle of weak wage and income growth, leading to deficits in aggregate demand, low business confidence and investment and insufficient labour market recovery, warns a joint agency report prepared for the G20 meetings  taking place this week in Ankara. </description>

 <title> New study: Assessment of economic benefits generated by the EU trade regimes towards the developing countries</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38471&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>It is a well-known fact that EU trade policy is a significant tool for development policy. Indeed, the EU has a long tradition of granting preferential access into its market for exports from developing countries. Ultimately, an increase in the exports of developing countries should result in a stimulus to their global economic activity and development.</description>

 <description>The Greek catastrophe commands the world’s attention for two reasons. First, we are deeply distressed to watch an economy collapse before our eyes, with bread lines and bank queues not seen since the Great Depression. Second, we are appalled by the failure of countless leaders and institutions " national politicians, the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund, and the European Central Bank " to avert a slow-motion train wreck that has played out over many years. If this mismanagement continues, not only Greece but also European unity will be fatally undermined.</description>

 <description>Greece acquiesced early Monday (13 July) to a punishing ultimatum from European leaders, agreeing to lightning-fast passage of reforms and a pledge to strap itself in a fiscal straitjacket to save its banks and stay in the euro. After a marathon, 17-hour overnight session " one of the most contentious diplomatic standoffs in European Union history " the announcement of an unanimous deal was made in Brussels. It requires approval from several European parliaments.</description>

 <title> The Guardian view on the Greek crisis: time for the French connection</title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jul/07/guardian-view-on-greek-crisis-time-for-french-connection-francois-hollande</link>
 <description>The Greek crisis has reached a point where a mediator could play a crucial role. Eurozone leaders are gathering yet again for an 11th-hour attempt at compromise. This may offer a fresh chance for dialogue and open consultation, but it risks falling short of the kind of hands-on effort that is needed when the task is to steer both sides away from a hugely damaging impasse.</description>

 <title> Europe’s Attack on Greek Democracy</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38424&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The rising crescendo of bickering and acrimony within Europe might seem to outsiders to be the inevitable result of the bitter endgame playing out between Greece and its creditors. In fact, European leaders are finally beginning to reveal the true nature of the ongoing debt dispute, and the answer is not pleasant: it is about power and democracy much more than money and economics. Of course, the economics behind the program that the oetroika” (the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund) foisted on Greece five years ago has been abysmal, resulting in a 25% decline in the country’s GDP. I can think of no depression, ever, that has been so deliberate and had such catastrophic consequences: Greece’s rate of youth unemployment, for example, now exceeds 60%.</description>

 <description>Interpol suspended an agreement with FIFA on Friday that had called for the international police agency to receive 20 million euros over 10 years to fight corruption in soccer, citing the American investigations that have ensnared soccer’s world governing body. Pietro Calcaterra, a spokesman for Interpol, confirmed that since 2011, Interpol, which has a staff of more than 800 and describes itself as the world’s largest international police organization, has been augmenting its annual budget " about "80 million, or about $90 million, last year " by turning to the private sector.</description>

 <title> Africa: making growth more inclusive hinges on unlocking potential of local economies</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38352&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>With Africa’s population set to double by 2050, modernising local economies will be vital to make the continent more competitive and to increase people’s living standards, according to the African Economic Outlook 2015, released at the African Development Bank Group’s 50th Annual Meetings. Surpassing most regions in spite of the global financial crisis, African economies will grow by 4.5 per cent in 2015 and may reach 5 per cent in 2016, converging with Asia’s current growth rates. However, lower oil and commodity prices, uncertain global conditions, the consequences of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa and domestic political uncertainties could delay an expected return to pre-2008 levels of growth.</description>

 <title> Will South Asia make the most of cheap oil?</title>
 <link>http://blogs.worldbank.org/endpovertyinsouthasia/will-south-asia-make-most-cheap-oil</link>
 <description>The world economy today presents itself as a diverse canvas full of challenges and opportunities. Advanced economies continue to struggle towards recovery, with the US on its way to tighten monetary policy as the economy picks up while a still weak Eurozone awaits quantitative easing to kick in. At the same time, plunging oil prices have set in motion significant real income shifts from exporters to importers of oil. Astonishingly, amidst all this turmoil, South Asia has emerged as the fastest growing region in the world over the second half of 2014. Led by a strong India, South Asia is set to further accelerate from 7 percent real growth in 2015 to 7.6 percent by 2017, leaving behind a slowing East Asia gradually landed in second spot by China.</description>

 <description>Growth in global remittances, including those to developing countries, will slow sharply this year due to weak economic growth in Europe, deterioration of the Russian economy and the depreciation of the euro and ruble, says the latest issue of the World Bank’s Migration and Development Brief, released today.
The 2015 remittance growth rates are the slowest since the global financial crisis in 2008/09. Nonetheless, the number of international migrants is expected to exceed 250 million in 2015, and their savings and remittances are expected to continue to grow.</description>

However, in 1922, Arctic explorer Villjamur Stefansson projected this reality to change. Global warming and accelerating sea ice melting have revived Stefansson’s vision. Previously restricted resources and waters are now becoming accessible, leaving industries and governments to look upon the geopolitics of the region with a fresh pair of eyes.</description>

 <description>Securing Livelihoods For All: Foresight for Action, a report that uses a foresight approach to develop five possible livelihood landscapes for the world in 2030, shows that vulnerability and the risk of falling back into extreme poverty remain high in the face of a changing global context. oeThe outlook for livelihoods is fragile. Emerging global trends are creating a lot of uncertainty, and we need to find innovative ways to ensure resilience of livelihoods”, said Carl Dahlman, Head of Global Development Research at the Development Centre. oeStill, in all middle and low-income countries, people generally think that the future will be better than the past or the present. The greatest optimism is in the East Asia-Pacific region” he added.</description>

Some economists see the AIIB as a rival to institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund which, although run through the auspices of the United Nations, are seen by critics as fully under the sway of the U.S. and other Western powers. And of course, there’s also already an Asia Development Bank (ADB), based in Manila and likewise run by the U.N., though here too some governments see it as largely led by Japan and the U.S.</description>

 <link>http://euobserver.com/news/128002</link>
 <description>The United States and Russia are the world’s leading exporters of arms, while Europe's market share has fallen sharply, according to new data. The Arms Transfer Database published on Monday (16 March) by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (Sipri), found that the US accounted for 31 percent of international arms exports between 2010 and 14, compared with 27 percent for Russia. Russian exports of major weapons increased by 37 percent between 2005 and 2014. </description>

 <title> Reconfiguring the role of business in G20 - Analysis</title>
 <link>http://www.eurasiareview.com/03032015-reconfiguring-the-role-of-business-in-g20-analysis/</link>
 <description>The B20 forum has become an important advisor to the G20, bridging the gap between business and foreign policy. Its effectiveness will depend on whether it can emerge as a solutions provider for the G20 and not just an advocacy forum. Indian business can play a vital role in shaping this mandate.</description>

 <title> Banks within BRICS economic development</title>
 <link>http://www.leap2020.net/euro-brics/2015/03/03/banks-within-brics-economic-development/?lang=en</link>
 <description>Actually within BRICS countries strategic importance is placed on mutual economic developments. Special role in this processes is played by banks. There is no denying the fact, that effective banking strategy depends on accurate assessment of  common problems and a search for mutual solutions to increase quality of life in member countries. From experience, fast liberation of financial-economic relationships leads to decline in some areas of economy, including strategically important ones, and to slowdown of government regulation of key industrial areas, which leads to increase of bank speculations and high risk level of economic environment. To find the way in turbulence is the main task for the government, that has to use different vehicles, intergovernmental monetary and fiscal measures including.</description>

 <title> The US energy pivot and Europe’s oil dilemma</title>
 <link>http://euobserver.com/opinion/127838</link>
 <description>On 5 December 2014 oil prices hit a new five-year low. Since then, prices slumped further, dipping below the $50 mark, before bouncing back to a low $60 in late February after oil majors began announcing cuts in their capital expenditure. Some of the factors that led to 2014’s summer highs of US$110 per barrel have been removed: high demand, decreased supply and a strong US dollar. The US is now bringing online its oil resources and this is having a structural impact on global oil markets and will continue to do so this year - this will unnerve OPEC.</description>

 <title> Central Banks Now Open 24/7 Fighting Currency Wars and Deflation</title>
 <link>http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-12/central-banks-now-open-24-7-as-fight-currency-wars-and-deflation</link>
 <description>Central banks are now open all hours. Just as they worked weekends through the financial crisis, policy makers are again signaling they can strike at any time for the good of their economies. Spooked by the threat of deflation, Sweden’s Riksbank became the latest to put investors on alert when it said that it’s oeprepared to do more at short notice” after cutting its main interest rate below zero and unexpectedly saying it will buy government bonds.</description>

 <title> Europe’s Two Futures</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38023&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Once again, Europe seems to have reached a fork in the road. In one direction lies the future as described by pessimists, who argue that rising populist movements and the plunge of the euro are evidence of the continent’s coming slide into geopolitical and economic oblivion. In the other direction lies a steep upward path to Europe’s integration and reemergence as a global power " the course, optimists say, that the continent will take as it wakes up and recognizes that it must have the capacity to weather the harshest storms.</description>

 <title> Russia sanctions cost the EU 21 billion euros in lost exports </title>
 <link>http://www.worldbulletin.net/economy/154747/russia-sanctions-cost-the-eu-21-billion-euros-in-lost-exports</link>
 <description>The European Union delayed putting more Ukrainian separatists and Russians on its sanctions list to give a Franco-German peace plan for Ukraine time to work. A peace deal would come as a relief to many EU countries that would rather avoid tightening sanctions on Russia, the EU's largest energy supplier, and harming their own economies. Moscow's retaliatory ban on most Western food imports, the Ukraine crisis has cost the European Union 21 billion euros ($23.68 billion) in lost exports, Spain's Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo said.</description>

 <title> Athens diplomacy looks to Moscow</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38003&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Without a doubt, the intransigence of European authorities has nourished the way for Athens to adopt positions closer to those of Moscow. To date, the creditors maintain their refusal to modify the terms of debt repayment (Greece has a debt of 315 billion euros, 175% of their GDP). Weeks before the election, the European troika (made up of the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and the European Commission) had made it clear that if Athens dared to abandon the programmes of structural adjustment, sources of external finance would remain closed.</description>

 <description>Judging by the futures market, where the price of oil for delivery in August 2015 is US$56 per barrel, there is little optimism about a recovery in oil prices. With cheap oil looking like it is here to stay, the latest Quarterly Economic Bulletin offers a breakdown by country of the potential regional consequences. </description>

 <title> Switzerland’s currency. Shaken, not stirred</title>

 <description>SWISS voters used to hold their central bank in high esteem: one survey in 2013 found the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to be their most respected national institution. That may change after its shock decision on January 15th to abandon the Swiss franc’s cap against the euro. The franc instantly shot up by 30%, provoking howls of anguish from Swiss firms. oeA strong franc threatens the entire Swiss system,” shrieked one Geneva daily.</description>

 <description>European politics has been plunged into a volatile new era following a historic victory in Greece’s general election by far-left radicals committed to ending years of austerity. More than five years into the euro crisis that started in Greece in October 2009 and raised questions about the single currency’s survival, Greek voters roundly rejected the savage spending cuts and tax rises imposed by Europe which reduced the country to penury.</description>

 <title> Global Economic Prospects to Improve in 2015, But Divergent Trends Pose Downside Risks</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37952&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Following another disappointing year in 2014, developing countries should see an uptick in growth this year, boosted in part by soft oil prices, a stronger U.S. economy, continued low global interest rates, and receding domestic headwinds in several large emerging markets, says the World Bank Group’s Global Economic Prospects (GEP) report, released today. After growing by an estimated 2.6 percent in 2014, the global economy is projected to expand by 3 percent this year, 3.3 percent in 2016 and 3.2 percent in 2017, predicts the Bank’s twice-yearly flagship.</description>

 <title> China to invest $250bn in Latin America over 10 years</title>
 <link>http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/china-invest-250bn-latin-america-over-10-years-1482452</link>
 <description>Chinese President Xi Jinping has pledged $250bn in investments in Latin America over the next decade in a bid to boost Beijing's influence in a region long dominated by the US. Xi, speaking at the opening ceremony of the first ministerial meeting of the China-Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Celac) Forum, said bilateral trade between China and Latin America was estimated to rise to $500bn (£331bn, "422bn) within the next 10 years.</description>

 <title> Debt: Latin America yesterday, Europe today</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37885&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Banks, overwhelmed with inorganic dollars, placed with risk capital that was used for consumption and current spending; that has always been repeated in Latin America and now in Europe. The abundance of inorganic dollars separated the flows of the real economy and the financial economy, whose figures just on derivatives reach above US $ 700 trillion, an amount impossible to assimilate into a WDP of 75 trillion. These figures, increased by QE, are invested in the stock exchanges where they raise banks’ portfolio value. A collapse of the stock markets would drag the dollar down and the US tries to save it by signing a TTIP with Europe.</description>

 <title> The Chinese are Coming: Beijing in the Balkans and Eastern Europe</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37883&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In the latter part of 2014, China became the world’s largest economy, dethroning the United States which has held the position since 1872. The technique for identifying such sizes will always be up for question, even if the IMF did account for the issue of purchasing power parity. The chatter about Beijing’s economic surge coincided well with its Balkans drive, yet another means by which the Chinese business juggernaut is seeking satiation.  Chinese diplomats and figures are not strangers to the region.  Their involvement during the eccentric relationship between Beijing and the communist Albanian state of Enver Hoxha is well noted.</description>

 <description>The treaty creating the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) took effect Jan. 1, 2015, with economic borders between Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Russia becoming significantly thinner. Kyrgyzstan is scheduled to join by May. After two decades of long negotiations and weighing the pros and cons of the EEU, the leaders of Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus met in Astana on May 29, 2014 to sign a treaty establishing the EEU. The document reflects all of the basic aspects related to international organisations and follows all principles of the sovereign equality of states. It also respects certain specific features of the member states’ existing politics.</description>

 <title> One Big Risk for Cuba-U.S. Relations: Moving Too Fast</title>

 <description>A normal economic relationship between the United States and Cuba has been a long time coming; the strict trade embargo with the island nation has been in place longer than the current president of the United States has been alive. But if Cuba and the United States are one day to become allies with the deep economic interconnections you might expect of two countries separated by only 90 miles of sea, one of the biggest risks might be moving too fast. That is a conclusion of some scholars who very much favor economic liberalization of Cuba " but want it done right.

 <title> The Geopolitical Impact of Cheap Oil</title>

 <description>The price of oil has fallen more than 25% in the past five months, to less than $80 a barrel. If the price remains at this level, it will have important implications " some good, some bad " for many countries around the world. If it falls further, as seems likely, the geopolitical consequences on some oil-producing countries could be dramatic.</description>

 <description>The head of Russia’s central bank warned Russians that they should get used to a new way of life, as the country’s embattled currency continued to plummet. The central bank announced the dramatic hike in interest rates, from 10.5% to 17%, after a late-night meeting behind closed doors. Analysts were divided over the move, with some suggesting it was painful but necessary medicine and others claiming it could do further damage to the Russian economy.</description>

 <title> A United Eurasia from Lisbon to Vladivostok?</title>

 <description>As I listened, earlier this year, to the final speech by Stefan Fuele, the former commissioner for neighbourhood policy, in which he mentioned the necessity of building a free-trade zone from Vancouver to Vladivostok, I thought to myself: oeThese must be merely personal considerations by an outgoing commissioner”. However, at this week’s meetings in Brussels of members of the European Parliament and national parliaments with Federica Mogherini, the high representative for foreign policy, and with Johannes Hahn, Fuele’s successor, I saw that this idea really does haunt the corridors of Brussels.</description>

(...) oeThe 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index shows that economic growth is undermined and efforts to stop corruption fade when leaders and high level officials abuse power to appropriate public funds for personal gain,” said José Ugaz, the chair of Transparency International.</description>

 <description>Walt Disney and Korch Industries have become the latest companies to be dragged into a political row over tax avoidance in Luxembourg under the watch of new European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker. New leaks suggest Disney and Korch, both headquartered in the United States, secured favourable tax deals in the Grand Duchy that may have saved them hundreds of millions of dollars in tax, renewing calls to crack down on multinational companies.</description>

 <description>Energy executives across Europe were scrambling to understand the implications of President Vladimir V. Putin’s surprise announcement that Russia would scrap the long-planned South Stream project that was to pipe natural gas to Europe. The pipeline, which had a projected $22 billion cost and was a geopolitical sore point in recent months, had never been a certainty. But Western partners on the project, including the Italian energy giant Eni, appear to have been surprised by Mr. Putin.</description>

 <title> « New Silk Road » highlights China's two-speed reform</title>
 <link>http://www.cnbc.com/id/102190017?trknav=homestack:topnews:14</link>
 <description>China's dream to revive a 2,000-year old trade route is emblematic of the country's two-speed reform process, according to Barclays. The legendary Silk Road, named after the lucrative Chinese silk business, spanned three continents until the end of the 14th century. Now, China is spearheading an effort to recreate those trade networks in a project called The New Silk Road. Comprised of a land-based Economic Belt that will snake through Central and West Asia and a Maritime Silk Road that will link South Asian ports, the initiative is one of many plans to open up China's economy and exercise its influence on the global agenda.</description>

 <description>The landlocked European duchy has been called a oemagical fairyland” for brand-name corporations seeking to drastically reduce tax bills. Pepsi, IKEA, FedEx and 340 other international companies have secured secret deals from Luxembourg, allowing many of them to slash their global tax bills while maintaining little presence in the tiny European duchy, leaked documents show.</description>

 <title> Growth in the New Climate Economy</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37622&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Action to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions and mitigate climate change has long been viewed as fundamentally opposed to economic growth. Indeed, the fragility of the global economic recovery is often cited as a justification to delay such action. But a recent report, oeThe New Climate Economy: Better Growth, Better Climate” released by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, refutes this reasoning. Far from being a detriment to economic growth, the report concludes that efforts to combat climate change could boost growth considerably " and relatively soon.</description>

 <description>Living standards continue to diverge within many economically advanced countries as poorer regions struggle to catch up with richer ones.

 <title> Can China and India Cooperate in Afghanistan?</title>
 <link>http://thediplomat.com/2014/10/can-china-and-india-cooperate-in-afghanistan/</link>
 <description>Afghanistan is going out of fashion among governments in the West, as attention shifts to a disintegrating Middle East and a new battlefront in Eastern Europe. But something may be moving in to fill the void. China and India held their first bilateral talks on Afghanistan in April 2013, and discussed the issue most recently during Xi Jinping’s visit to New Delhi last week, where both sides agreed to oestrengthen strategic dialogue” on building oepeace, stability and prosperity in Afghanistan,” which was identified as a oeshared interest.”</description>

 <title> De-Dollarization: Europe and China Start Direct Trading In Euros and Renminbi</title>
 <link>http://www.globalresearch.ca/de-dollarization-europe-and-china-start-direct-trading-in-euros-and-renmibi/5405337</link>
 <description>De-dollarization has been an ongoing theme hidden just below the surface of the mainstream media for more than a year as Russia and China slowly but surely attempt to oeisolate” the US Dollar. Until very recently, direct trade agreements with China (in other words, bypassing the US Dollar exchange in bilateral trade) had been with smaller trade partners.

On the heels of Western pressure, Russia and China were forced closer together and de-dollarization accelerated from Turkey to Argentina as an increasing number of countries around the world realize the importance of this chart. </description>

 <title> Is the "Liberal International Order" Dying?</title>
 <link>http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/the-liberal-international-order-dying-11351</link>
 <description>President Obama’s speech to the United Nations was a spirited defense of the current world order and America’s role within that order. It was an acknowledgement that the liberal internationalist status quo is far from invulnerable and, in fact, is gravely under threat; and a warning that the widening and deepening of international cooperation, peace and security require good intentions and assiduous effort on behalf of nations.  Today’s relatively benign world order is the result of farsighted decision-making by past leaders, Obama told his audience; its maintenance is now the charge of today’s generation.</description>

 <description>There is a gradual evolution in geoeconomics taking shape between India and China. It is the elevation from an 'over-the-wall' trade relationship to an integrated geoeconomic relationship defined by deeper business and financial links.

India needs capital and it wants to build a manufacturing base. The government-led commercial MoUs and the $3.43 billion business deals facilitated by FICCI seem to be working towards these goals.</description>

 <description>Amid the war in Syria, one hillside vineyard still produces wines that are served in the Michelin-starred restaurants of London and Paris. It has been a struggle to keep Syria's last commercial vineyard open, the owner of Domaine de Bargylus says.

But for Mongolia, the trade pact with Japan is of far more significance"and not merely because it was with the world’s third largest economy. The conclusion of negotiations represents Mongolia’s official entry into East Asia’s proliferation of trade agreements, as this is the country’s first FTA. Meanwhile, Ulaanbaatar is also studying proposed agreements with South Korea and China.</description>

 <title> Putin in Latin America: A New Era of Cooperation?</title>

 <description>Russian President Vladimir Putin undertook a six-day visit to four countries in Latin America from 11 to 16 July. His tour came at a time when both Russia and the countries he visited  (Cuba, Nicaragua, Argentina, and Brazil ) were looking for diplomatic support. Russia, of course, is facing sizeable opposition from the West for its intervention in Ukraine. Thus, Russia is keen to deepen its ties with other parts of the world and in Latin America several countries have given their support to Russia, and many have long-standing links with Russia and before that the Soviet Union.</description>

 <title> The BRICS’ Economic Institutions and International Politics</title>
 <link>http://www.e-ir.info/2014/08/18/the-brics-economic-institutions-and-international-politics/</link>
 <description>At the VI BRICS Summit, held in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza in July 2014, Brazil, Russia, China, India, and South Africa formally announced the creation of a New Development Bank (NDB) and a Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA). The official documents portrayed both initiatives as complements to the existing financial and economic institutions. However, in the short term, they will promote more autonomy for the developing countries in relation to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank and, in the long term, they might represent the coming into reality of a new set of principles that will guide economic relations among nations in the 21st century.</description>

 <description>The recent appointment of Jean Claude-Juncker as the new President of the European Commission did not go down well with British Prime Minister David Cameron. In leaked comments, Cameron is even said to have warned German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Juncker’s appointment would represent an unacceptable increase in power for the EU’s institutions, which could make a British exit from the EU more likely</description>

 <title> To the Bankers, He’s “Super Mario 2.0” Draghi</title>
 <link>http://cadtm.org/Super-Mario-Draghi-pour-les</link>
 <description>The ECB announced on Thursday 4 September, 2014 that it would maintain and extend the measures adopted at the meeting of 5 June, 2014. This is being done at a time when it is clear that the policies the central bank has been applying since the start of the crisis have failed |1|. Italy is in recession: The GDI is down by 0.2% in the second quarter of 2014, after a drop of 0.1% in the preceding quarter |2|. In Portugal, which had supposedly weathered the crisis, the near bankruptcy of the country’s second-largest bank, Banco Espírito Santo (a veritable economic empire given the scale of the country) is an enormous drain on the public treasury, which once again is socialising the losses.</description>

 <title> Why Belarus is Different</title>
 <link>http://isnblog.ethz.ch/human-rights/why-belarus-is-different</link>
 <description>The Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies and the Office for a Democratic Belarus had recently organized a conference on the subject of Belarus’ internal politics and its international position. oeWhy Belarus is different”, a oeFood for Thought” event, took place in Brussels, on June 23rd. The importance of the topic for the EU states derives from the geographic proximity of the country to the communitarian borders and from the increasing instability in the Eastern European region, which could potentially expand its turmoil beyond the Ukrainian borders.</description>

 <description>There is little doubt that our geo-political problems are becoming more and more intricate and intractable. We presently have on our hands the middle East crisis, the Ukrainian crisis, the Iraq and Syria crisis, the economic crisis of the West, the border crisis between the US and Mexico (with thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America crossing the border), the territory disputes between Japan and China, North and South Korea, the EU-Africa crisis with refugees arriving almost daily in Lampedusa, Italy attempting to get a foot-hold in Europe, and the list goes on and on. The world is indeed a sorry mess.</description>

But Washington’s repeated use of economic sanctions as a foreign policy weapon has encouraged China and other powers to consider financial alternatives, write Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett.</description>

 <description>In June 2014, central and northern areas of Iraq came under the control of a loose alliance of insurgent groups, spearheaded by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Over the next month, this group marginalised many of its former allies, established some institutions of governance and coercion in the areas under its control, and, renaming itself as the Islamic State, proclaimed its rule over a swathe of territory that stretches from the city of Aleppo in northern Syria to the Diyala governorate in eastern Iraq.</description>

 <title> Energy efficiency: a threat for climate change</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37155&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>According to BP (2014) the Gross World Product will grow by some 3.5% until 2035, but since energy intensity (energy expended per unit produced) will fall by 1.9% each year, the world will consume 36% less for each unit produced.  This is celebrated as an achievement, since less energy consumption means less emissions. However, looked at in absolute terms, carbon emissions will increase by 29% in this period, raising the mean temperature of the planet by some 4° C.   What then are we celebrating?  Undoubtedly, human stupidity.</description>

 <title> BRICS Bank: Part of a new financial architecture </title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37152&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The declaration of the Sixth Summit has a strong antineoliberal content, and is in favour of a pattern of growth where the State fulfils an important role. What is important in this declaration is that BRICS brings together the five emerging economies that in absolute terms are the largest.
The fact of establishing a bank for large infrastructure projects is indicative of the perception of these countries on what is lacking in order to achieve better standards of living for the population as a whole, and specially for the poor. </description>

 <title> Cold War II: Can Economic Sanctions and Diplomacy Avert a Repetition of History?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37148&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Washington showed Putin this week that as long as he continues supporting separatists, there will be consequences, but without further sanctions imposed by the EU, Putin might still ignore the international community. The most effective way to take Putin down a peg and to ensure the stability of the region is to diversify Europe’s energy supply and to lessen its dependence on Russian gas. Putin understands that Europe’s fear of finding itself in a gas shortage which could significantly affect its overall economy feeds its reluctance in imposing strict economic sanctions. Minimizing Europe’s reliance on Putin’s gas will deprive Russia of her strongest tool of persuasion, making the Kremlin soften its anti-western rhetoric and making it easier to deal with Moscow</description>

 <description>Human rights attorney Mario Joseph and Tourism Minister Stéphanie Villedrouin are both trying to improve Haiti, but they are following radically different paths. The one wants justice, the other wants tourism.
Attorney Joseph believes that he has found a way to help the victims of the cholera epidemic in Haiti. About 750,000 people have been infected with the disease and the death toll now stands at 8,500. Officials expect there to be about 45,000 new cases in 2014. The culprit is the international community.</description>

Despite progress in poverty reduction, BRICS countries are still home to nearly half of the world\'s poor (1.7 billion people), and, with the exception of Brazil, all are facing rising levels of inequality, which hinders economic growth, makes economies more volatile, fuels social unrest and conflict, and limits the ability to reduce poverty.</description>

From our work with activists and advocates in Bolivia and around the world, we’ve seen time and again the ways in which these powerful, profit-driven institutions can impact our natural environment, our cultures and our democracies. The report holds some invaluable lessons for other countries regarding the challenges involved in unraveling the web of trade and investment agreements and the rights they grant to corporations. </description>

 <description>Like many countries in the region, Bolivia was effectively treated as a oelab rat” to be subjected to neoliberal policies of privatization and the systematic stripping of natural resources. However, after the water war broke out, a movement came together to reclaim Bolivia's natural resources, its basic services, its water, its electricity etc. But during this struggle it soon became clear that the ISDS system, designed to be able to overturn government decisions, threatened any potential victories.</description>

 <title> A New International Debate on Human Rights and Corporations: Economic Power, Democracy and Human Rights</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37001&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>An international armour is needed to help protect people from the asymmetry of power produced by the accumulation of wealth and the political advantages it creates. 

For this, we must overturn the system mounted through international arbitration tribunals that protect investors' rights (ICSID and WTO dispute panels) - that is, the rights of major transnational corporations, which are responsible for the majority of international trade and investment flows.</description>

 <description>Mexicans and their communities become in fact second class citizens, since the rights of exploitation of hydrocarbons and minerals, in addition to the easements, in the hands of foreign companies, take precedence over all their individual and communitarian human rights.</description>

 <title> G20 Leaders: Unmask the Corrupt</title>
 <link>http://www.transparency.org/news/pressrelease/g20_leaders_unmask_the_corrupt</link>
 <description>Today many leading economies do not require or record information about who really owns or controls companies registered in their country, making it easier for corrupt individuals, terrorists or organised criminals to hide and shift their stolen wealth.</description>

 <title> Guatemala: The other side of fracking</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36960&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The history of the proposed barite mine in the Ixil communities of Guatemala isn\'t a unique story by any stretch of the imagination. Rather, it\'s a story that has been played out in almost every rural, agrarian community affected by the arrival of multinational mining and energy corporations coveting their natural wealth.   

These parallels in the stories are another convincing motivation to connect local resistance movements along the production-consumption-disposal lines of our global economy.</description>

 <title> 'Deglobalisation' Is the Way to Reduce Inequality</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36959&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>If we care about reducing inequality, we must seek new solutions to the problem. One approach is oedeglobalisation”, a proposal developed by Walden Bello and Focus on the Global South in response to the Asian financial crisis of 1997.
 
For deglobalisation, there is no oeone size fits all” model like neoliberalism or centralized bureaucratic socialism. Instead, according to this scheme, diversity is expected and encouraged, as it is in nature.</description>

 <title> G77 and the decolonization of geopolitics</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36956&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The world and its geopolitical cartography, as conceived by Western powers since the Nineteenth Century, is coming to an end. This means that the centre-periphery order, as established in the modern world, now makes no sense. Nor is there any sense, in the face of the climate and energy crisis, in an economic system that only knows how to administer the systematic dispossession of life (of humanity and nature) in favour of the fetishes of the modern world: capital and the market. This is a crisis of civilization, and can only be understood in its true magnitude, from a multidimensional perspective.

 <description>This secrecy is surprising, since it was responsible for the failure of other international treaties when the negotiations were eventually (and inevitably) revealed: The oeDracula effect” helped to kill the Multilateral Agreement on Investment in 1998 and led to the European Parliament’s rejection of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement in 2012. </description>

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is a free trade agreement between the United States and the European Union that has been under negotiation since July 2013. It aims to create the world’s biggest market, with more than 800 million consumers.</description>

 <title> China's Expanding Cyberspace</title>
 <link>http://www.ecfr.eu/page/-/ChinaAnalysisEng_June2014.pdf</link>
 <description>By contrast to the innovation taking place among Chinese internet users and firms, China’s official positions on global internet governance appear stodgy, almost a carbon copy of the Chinese stand on any transnational governance issue.

China’s extraordinary wave of business and social innovations on the web will have a global impact, just as its hardware and communications producers have already had. However, it is likely that the Chinese politics of the web will continue to provide a model that will only find favour with other authoritarian regimes. Here, as in other issues, the huge contradiction inherent in China’s rise is alive and well.</description>

 <title> Empowerment—the Amartya Sen Lecture</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36888&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Today, especially in the wake of the global crisis, members of the profession are asking the kinds of questions that Amartya has spent his whole life pondering. His was a prophetic voice, and he can rightfully be called the conscience of economics.
Tonight, the topic I want to talk about sits at the intersection of justice and economics"the issue of empowerment. Empowerment is about economic opportunity, the ability to freely choose one’s own path in life in accordance with one’s distinctive talents and abilities. It is about cutting away obstacles to true human flourishing. I want to address three distinct layers of empowerment: First, the empowerment of the individual"and what that means for economic policies. Second, what is needed to help individual empowerment"the empowerment of institutions. Third, what is needed in turn to help national economies flourish"the empowerment of multilateralism.</description>

 <description>In the past 15 years, China has gone from being a relatively insignificant economic partner in Latin America to the number-one trading partner of some of the largest economies in the region. In many cases, China has unseated the United States in its own backyard. As a whole, Latin American exports to China have risen massively since 2000, averaging a 23-percent annual export growth rate.</description>

 <title> G7 and Europe face energy wake-up call as food and fuel crisis looms </title>

 <description>Europe’s poor risk being forced to choose between heating and eating. Russia’s absence from the G7 summit is a stark warning to Europe that political turmoil on its doorstep risks an energy price crisis, at the same time as the effects of climate change on food imports could drive up costs, Oxfam says today. In a new report Fit for a Food and Energy Secure World?, the international agency argues that the crisis in Ukraine and resulting tensions with Russia are a wake-up call for Europe to reassess its energy mix. </description>

 <description>Signs of an economic revival in China have raised hopes that Beijing's targeted measures to bolster growth are having an impact but a slowdown in the euro zone will increase expectations of policy easing there. Chinese factory activity expanded at the fastest pace in five months in May but euro zone manufacturing growth slowed more than initially thought, fuelling expectations that the European Central Bank will ease policy this week.</description>

The agreement was signed between the state-owned companies Gazprom and the China National Petroleum Corp during a two-day visit of President Vladimir Putin to Shanghai.</description>

 <description>One year after EU leaders adopted measures aimed at bringing down energy prices, the European Commission tabled another blueprint aimed at reducing energy dependence on Russia. But Commission experts admitted that reducing energy dependence would further raise prices. At the special summit dedicated to energy issues on 22 May 2013, EU leaders adopted measures to lower energy prices, and so improve the  European Union’s industrial competitiveness.</description>

The report, which was compiled by the IMD World Competitiveness Center, found that Singapore rose to the third position, up two spots from last year, after the U.S. and Switzerland. Hong Kong slipped to fourth position and Sweden to the fifth.</description>

 <title> A strategic discussion: Technological cycles and natural resources</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36803&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Technological innovation has a profound impact on the dynamics of world capitalism and its organization and accumulation. This is expressed in the need for businesses to generate innovation as the only guarantee of their survival, by destroying old systems and creating new ones. 

The process of oecreative destruction”, outlined by Joseph Schumpeter in order to explain this dynamic, is defined as the capacity for industrial transformation that oe incessantly revolutionizes economic structures from within, incessantly destroying the old and creating the new.”</description>

 <title> Why Globalization doesn't need the West</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36777&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>There can be little doubt that we live in a oeG3” geo-economic landscape, dominated by the US, the Eurozone and China. But economic convergence continues across all regions. The 10-strong ASEAN grouping is the world’s fastest-growing region; Africa remains largely on the fast track; and Latin America’s 800 million people represent almost two-thirds the GDP of China. This growth is driven by investment, consumption and trade, building up a resistance to external shocks such as the US Federal Reserve’s tapering programme. What most economists miss when analysing individual emerging markets are the intraregional and interregional foundations of their growing resilience.</description>

 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36744&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Gold mining has become a scourge which afflicts many Latin American countries. In some places a few giant transnational corporations operate, but in other areas, people in their hundreds or thousands, crowd into jungle rivers or the guts of mountains for a few grams of gold. 

While the big corporations insist they deploy the latest technologies, promoting economic growth and providing jobs, small informal or illegal mining is under the shadow of contamination, violence and poverty.</description>

 <description>The crisis in Ukraine has made painfully obvious just how dependent Germany and other European countries are on Russian natural gas. There are serious alternatives for supplying the vital natural resource, but they all come at a price.

Almost 39 percent of Germany's natural gas comes via pipeline from Russia. Thus far, at least. But what happens if Moscow turns off the tap? It is a concern plaguing many politicians in Berlin, and the rhetoric has become sharper in recent days.</description>

In preparation Brazil is evicting 200,000 people from their homes, eliminating poor neighborhoods, defunding public services, investing in a militarized police and surveillance state, using slave and prison labor to build outrageous stadiums unlikely to be filled more than once, and "improving" a famous old stadium (the world's largest for 50 years) by removing over half the capacity in favor of luxury seats. Meanwhile, popular protests and graffiti carry the message: "We want 'FIFA standard' hospitals and schools!" </description>

 <title> EU economic forecast – Growth becoming broader-based</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36697&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The EU economic outlook is strengthening. While leading indicators point to GDP growth gaining momentum in the near term, the conditions for a sustained recovery in the medium term are also improving. Since the Commission's last forecast in winter, the outlook both for the EU and the eurozone is confirming a muted but continuing recovery. Following real GDP growth of 1.6% in the EU and 1.2% in the eurozone in 2014, activity is expected to accelerate in 2015 to 2% and 1.7% respectively. Though growth differentials will persist, the gap between the best performing countries and those still facing difficulties will narrow. In 2015 all EU economies are expected to grow again.</description>

 <title> Rewriting global tax rules could increase developing countries’ corporate tax revenues by over 100%</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36684&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The G20’s plan to tackle corporate tax dodging, devised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), needs a radical shake up so that developing countries can capture their fair share of foreign business activity, according to a new report published today by Oxfam. The report, Business Among Friends, says that today’s international tax rules allow multinational companies to ‘disappear’ their profits including to other countries in order to pay low or no tax. Oxfam warns that many of the world’s poorest economies that are being worst hit are being left out of the OECD’s negotiations to tackle this scandal. </description>

 <description>On 1 May 2004 Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary, among others, joined the European Union. What impact has this eastward expansion had? An interview with the Hungarian author György Konrád. Mr. Konrád, ten years after Hungary joined the European Union, two thirds of the electorate voted for parties that are critical of the EU, or even reject it, in the parliamentary elections there in early April 2014. Do the citizens regret EU accession? </description>

 <description>Suddenly, there is a new economist making waves " and he is not on the right. At the conference of the Institute of New Economic Thinking in Toronto last week, Thomas Piketty's book Capital in the Twenty-First Century got at least one mention at every session I attended. You have to go back to the 1970s and Milton Friedman for a single economist to have had such an impact. Economist Thomas Piketty's message is bleak: the gap between rich and poor threatens to destroy us.</description>

 <title> The Ukrainian Crisis: a dramatic blow given to the Euro-BRICS rapprochement as well as to the emergence of a multipolar world</title>

 <description>The Ukraine crisis is not an accident of history, it is the result of an intention: that of forcing Ukraine to choose sides between Europe and Russia. The European External Action Service of the European Commission led by Ms. Ashton and Mr. O’Sullivan refused the tripartite negotiation proposed by Russia in November 2013 between the economic partnerships under development among Ukraine and Russia on the one hand, and Ukraine and the EU on the other hand. Once launched, the process was inevitable: forced to choose, Ukraine lost its freedom and, because of its dual nature, headed towards the major crisis that we know today. From the door it was between Europe and Russia, Ukraine transformed into a wall.</description>

 <title> Global Economy Turning Corner of Great Recession, But Obstacles Ahead</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36645&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The global economy is turning the corner of the Great Recession, although overall growth remains too slow and weak, IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde said. In a speech at the School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington ahead of the 2014 IMF-World Bank Spring Meetings, Lagarde added that oea modest and fragile recovery is under way that now needs to change gears toward more rapid and sustainable growth.”</description>

 <title> President Obama's Remarks in Brussels to European Youth

</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36634&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Remarks by president Obama in address to european youth: Leaders and dignitaries of the European Union; representatives of our NATO Alliance; distinguished guests: We meet here at a moment of testing for Europe and the United States, and for the international order that we have worked for generations to build.nThroughout human history, societies have grappled with fundamental questions of how to organize themselves, the proper relationship between the individual and the state, the best means to resolve inevitable conflicts between states. And it was here in Europe, through centuries of struggle -- through war and Enlightenment, repression and revolution -- that a particular set of ideals began to emerge: The belief that through conscience and free will, each of us has the right to live as we choose.</description>

 <title> The infantile diplomacy behind demonising Russia</title>
 <link>http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/the-infantile-diplomacy-behind-demonising-russia/14824#.UzGMWM7ROLL</link>
 <description>Are Western diplomats and media outlets being serious when they accuse the Russian government of launching a new Cold War? Do they really believe their own rhetoric when they say Putin has expansionary ambitions and wants to rebuild the Soviet Empire? Did Hillary Clinton, the former US secretary of state, mean it when she said Russia’s actions in Crimea are similar to ‘what Hitler did back in the 1930s’? Other anti-Russian observers have also claimed that Russia’s incorporation of Crimea is analogous to the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Do all these people sincerely believe this interpretation of current geopolitical events? It is always difficult, if not dangerous, to speculate about the thought processes that drive powerful diplomats and political leaders to say and do certain things.</description>

 <title> Progress made but Chile should better detect and thoroughly investigate foreign bribery, says OECD</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36619&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Chile has made positive efforts to implement the Convention, but there has not been a single foreign bribery conviction. Chile did not sufficiently investigate several of the six foreign bribery allegations that have surfaced since 2001. Chilean embassies failed to alert prosecutors to these cases which were widely reported in the foreign media. Only one of the cases has been detected through domestic sources. Chile should improve its investigative and detection efforts.</description>

 <description>President Barack Obama is struggling to overcome widespread pessimism about the economy and deep frustration with Washington, notching the lowest job-approval ratings of his presidency in a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll. The results suggest Mr. Obama could weigh on fellow Democrats in midterm elections this fall, particularly in the conservative states that will play a large role in deciding whether his party retains its Senate majority.</description>

 <title> Net neutrality: Industry MEPs want stricter rules against blocking rival services</title>

 <description>Internet providers should no longer be able to block or slow down internet services provided by their competitors, says the Industry Committee which on Tuesday approved rules to protect net neutrality. Under the latest draft EU oetelecoms” package legislation, MEPs also voted against "roaming charges", extra costs for using a mobile phone in another EU country. These charges should be banned from 15 December 2015, MEPs say. </description>

 <title> Moscow wins Crimea ‘referendum’, West readies sanctions</title>
 <link>http://www.euractiv.fr/europe-dans-le-monde/la-crimee-dit-oui-la-russie-news-534174</link>
 <description>Crimea's Moscow-backed leaders declared a 96% vote in favour of quitting Ukraine and annexation by Russia in a referendum held yesterday (16 March) Western powers said was illegal and will bring immediate sanctions. EU ministers gather in Brussels today to decide on visa bans and freezing assets of top Russian officials. As state media in Russia carried a startling reminder of its power to turn the United States to "radioactive ash", President Barack Obama spoke to Vladimir Putin on Sunday, telling the Russian president that he and his European allies were ready to impose "additional costs" on Moscow for violating Ukraine's territory.</description>

 <title> The Trillion Dollar Question: Who Owns Emerging Market Government Debt</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36599&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>There are a trillion reasons to care about who owns emerging market debt.  That’s how much money global investors have poured into in these government bonds in recent years "$1 trillion.  Who owns it, for how long and why it changes over time can shed light on the risks; a sudden reversal of money flowing out of a country can hurt.  Shifts in the investor base also can have implications for a government’s borrowing costs. What investors do next is a big question for emerging markets, and our new analysis takes some of the guesswork out of who owns your debt. </description>

 <link>http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/joseph-e--stiglitz-argues-that-the-impact-of-technological-change-on-living-standards-has-become-increasingly-unclear</link>
 <description>Around the world, there is enormous enthusiasm for the type of technological innovation symbolized by Silicon Valley. In this view, America’s ingenuity represents its true comparative advantage, which others strive to imitate. But there is a puzzle: it is difficult to detect the benefits of this innovation in GDP statistics. What is happening today is analogous to developments a few decades ago, early in the era of personal computers. In 1987, economist Robert Solow " awarded the Nobel Prize for his pioneering work on growth " lamented that oeYou can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.” There are several possible explanations for this.</description>

 <description>In fact, the situation is intolerable.  In 2010, 175 million hectares of land remained out of production due to speculation, while nearly four million campesino families were without land; the Constitution is not applied and the agrarian law has no impact.  2013 was the worst year: just one hundred allotments distributed and five thousand families resettled on land, while nearly 100,000 families wait for an assignation of land in camps of the Landless Movement (MST - acronym in Portuguese).</description>

 <description>Tax revenues in Latin American countries continue to rise but are lower as a proportion of their national incomes than in most OECD countries. The publication Revenue Statistics in Latin America 1990-2012 (third edition) shows that the average tax revenue to GDP ratio in the 18 Latin American and Caribbean countries covered by the report[1]  increased steadily from 18.9% in 2009 to 20.7% in 2012 after falling from a high point of 19.5% in 2008. </description>

 <description>A new global campaign has been launched by UNODC to raise awareness among consumers of the $250 billion a year illicit trafficking of counterfeit goods. The campaign - 'Counterfeit: Don't buy into organized crime' - informs consumers that buying counterfeit goods could be funding organized criminal groups, puts consumer health and safety at risk and contributes to other ethical and environmental concerns.</description>

 <description>There’s something dismal about writing year-end roundups in the half-decade since the eruption of the 2008 global financial crisis. Yes, we avoided a Great Depression II, but only to emerge into a Great Malaise, with barely increasing incomes for a large proportion of citizens in advanced economies. We can expect more of the same in 2014.</description>

 <title> A successful start for the euro changeover in Latvia</title>
 <link>http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-14-1_fr.htm</link>
 <description>On 1 January 2014, Latvia adopted the euro as its official currency and the changeover is running smoothly and according to plan. The previous national currency " the lat " is now being phased out during a transitional two-week dual circulation period when both currencies have legal tender status. By the end of Thursday 2 January, 30 % of payments in shops were being made in euro only and 94 % of customers were getting their change in euro. No major problems were observed in banks or in the retail sector.</description>

 <description>Today it is a given that Europe has screwed up, that it is screwed over.  There are various diagnostics.  Some think that it is due to the laziness of the Southerners, that the Mediterranean climate and the siesta made them live above their means (we have heard this enough, for some time now in Latin America).  Others blame the rigidity of the German Central Bank that dominates the troika and imposes its nostrums on the other economies. </description>

 <description>It has been three years since the outbreak of the euro crisis, and only an inveterate optimist would say that the worst is definitely over. Some, noting that the eurozone’s double-dip recession has ended, conclude that the austerity medicine has worked. But try telling that to those in countries that are still in depression, with per capita GDP still below pre-2008 levels, unemployment rates above 20%, and youth unemployment at more than 50%. At the current pace of oerecovery,” no return to normality can be expected until well into the next decade.</description>

 <description>Was the recent decision by Ukraine not to sign a major association agreement with the European Union a failure of EU foreign policy? Despite some understandable hand-wringing in Brussels, the answer must be a resounding oeno.” While it is true that this week’s Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius will now be unable to oedeliver” Ukraine as the crown jewel of the European Neighborhood Policy, Europeans have gained much in the diplomatic wrangling of the last six months.</description>

 <title> The Limits to growth, yesterday and today</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36081&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In 1972 a team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led by Dennis and Donella Meadows and commissioned by the Club of Rome,  studied the interaction of population growth and economic growth with the finite resources of the planet, employing what was then a new tool: computer modelling.  Employing the most powerful computers of the time,  Meadows et. al. managed large quantities of variables such as human population, industrial growth, food production and environmental pollution, along with certain constants, such as non-renewable resources and the limits of the planet's ecosystems.  The study's results were disturbing:  if the rates of economic growth and natural resource use were to continue, there would be a catastrophic environmental and economic collapse sometime in the twenty-first century.</description>

 <title> Inequality Is a Choice</title>
 <link>http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/13/inequality-is-a-choice/?_r=0</link>
 <description>It’s well known by now that income and wealth inequality in most rich countries, especially the United States, have soared in recent decades and, tragically, worsened even more since the Great Recession. But what about the rest of the world? Is the gap between countries narrowing, as rising economic powers like China and India have lifted hundreds of millions of people from poverty? And within poor and middle-income countries, is inequality getting worse or better? Are we moving toward a more fair world, or a more unjust one?</description>

 <title> The Samson Complex</title>
 <link>http://www.iwallerstein.com/samson-complex/</link>
 <description>We seem to have a lot of putative Samsons these days, who are blocking or seeking to block what they consider to be dangerous oecompromises” with the enemy. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Prime Minister, is saying that a bad deal is worse than no deal. He is referring to what he sees as the U.S.-Russian agreement on Syria and the possible U.S.-Iranian accord. In Colombia, the former Conservative president is inveighing against the current Conservative president because he is negotiating with the guerilla organization known as FARC under the auspices of Cuba and Brazil.</description>

 <title> A moment for Asian solidarity</title>
 <link>http://www.indianexpress.com/news/a-moment-for-asian-solidarity/1180113/0</link>
 <description>Singh's contribution to the Look East policy has been three-fold. The first was to ensure India's economic integration with Asia. Despite doubts in the Congress party, expressed at the highest level, Singh finalised a free trade agreement with the ASEAN. He followed up with two comprehensive economic partnership agreements with Japan and South Korea. He has also committed India to negotiate a Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership with the ASEAN and its major partners. Thanks to these initiatives, India has become an integral part of Asia's economic future.</description>

 <title> The US-EU Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA): Big Business Corporate Power Grab</title>
 <link>http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-us-eu-transatlantic-free-trade-agreement-tafta-big-business-corporate-power-grab/5352885</link>
 <description>The Transatlantic Free Trade Agreement (TAFTA) between the US and EU intends to create the world’s largest free trade area, ‘protect’ investment and remove ‘unnecessary regulatory barriers’. Corporate interests are driving the agenda, with the public having been sidelined. Unaccountable, pro-free-trade bureaucrats from both sides of the Atlantic are facilitating the strategy.</description>

 <title> Trade and Development Report, 2013</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=35804&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Five years after the onset of the global financial crisis the world economy remains in a state of disarray, with global output growing at around 2 per cent and global trade growth virtually grounding to a halt, the Trade and Development Report (TDR) 2013 stresses. Growth remains subdued in developed countries, where labour market conditions, fiscal tightening and on-going deleveraging hinder domestic demand. With an external economic environment showing few signs of improvement, developing and transition economies could not avoid growth deceleration.</description>

 <description>In the last three years, the G20 group of nations has taken up tough geoeconomic issues bedevilling both developed and developing countries. These include matters such as bringing transparency in global energy and commodities markets.
Addressing them is vital as the world faces turmoil in both energy and food markets. The new discoveries of shale oil, turbulence in traditional West Asian energy markets and massive food subsidies being doled out by developing country governments like India have had a disruptive effect globally.</description>

 <description>The 2013 World Investment Report comes at an important moment. The international community is making a final push to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by the target date of 2015. At the same time, the United Nations is working to forge a vision for the post-2015 development agenda. Credible and objective information on foreign direct investment (FDI) can contribute to success in these twin endeavours.</description>

 <title> BRICS to commit $100 billion to FX fund, completion a way off</title>
 <link>http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/05/us-mp-g20-brics-idUSBRE9840E020130905</link>
 <description>China, holder of the world's largest foreign exchange reserves, will contribute the bulk of the currency pool. But officials said it would not be functional for some time yet.
Cheap dollars that fueled a boom in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa over the past decade have turned tail since Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve, warned in May of a 'taper' in the U.S. bond-buying scheme.</description>

 <title> G20 must re-write tax rules and recoup Africa’s missing billions</title>
 <link>http://www.oxfam.org/en/pressroom/pressrelease/2013-09-05/g20-must-re-write-tax-rules-and-recoup-africa-missing-billions</link>
 <description>African nations are losing nearly 2 per cent of their gross domestic product (GDP) as a result of companies fiddling the books through ‘trade mispricing’, according to figures released today by Oxfam. This huge tax loss is equivalent to more than half the amount that governments spend on health in Sub Saharan Africa.
Oxfam calculated that if G20 countries lost the same proportion of their GDP to corporate tax dodging it would blow a massive $1.2 trillion hole in G20 budgets.</description>

 <title> EU Report: Trade protectionism still on rise across the world</title>
 <link>http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-13-807_fr.htm</link>
 <description>Global efforts to battle trade protectionism need to be reinforced to help shield the fragile economic recovery across the world. In a report released today, the European Commission identified about 150 new trade restrictions introduced over the last year, whereas only 18 existing measures have been dismantled. A total of almost 700 new measures have been identified since October 2008, when the European Commission started monitoring global protectionist trends.</description>

 <title> An unprecedented gathering deep in the Amazon jungle</title>

 <description>PUERTO HUAMÁN, Peru (ILO News) " oePalo Duro” (Hard stick) is an almost unbreakable tree that grows in north-eastern Peru, in the Amazon region close to the Colombian border. 
It is also the symbol of the Maijunas, a community that has struggled since the time of the Spanish conquest to reclaim its ancestral lands, coveted by loggers and poachers. 
Nowadays, there are only 400 hundred Maijunas left, living in four villages of thatched-roof homes (Puerto Huamán, San Pedro de Totoya, Nueva Vida and Sucusari-Orejones), between the Napo and the Putumayo rivers. </description>

 <title> The danger of the 'Sino-dependency' and reprimarization</title>
 <link>http://www.infolatam.com/2013/08/07/el-peligro-de-la-%E2%80%98sino-dependencia%E2%80%99-y-la-reprimarizacion/</link>
 <description>For most of the twentieth century, it was said, quite rightly, that "when the United States, a cold, Latin America catches pneumonia." A recession in the giant North almost invariably resulted south of the Rio Grande in crashes widespread growth, competitive devaluations chain and a long series of calamities, from rising unemployment to political instability.

For several Latin American countries that role has moved to China. Each new negative signal coming from the Asian giant has the effect of tropical storm in the region. As the Chinese economy slows down, the price of the metal drops a new rung. Since January, the price of gold has fallen by 13.2%, 23.6% silver and 7.7% copper. From their respective peaks reached in 2011, the copper price has fallen 35%, the iron ore 40% and gold 36%.</description>

 <title> Cloudy with a chance of war</title>
 <link>http://www.economist.com/blogs/babbage/2013/08/climate-and-conflict</link>
 <description>EARTH'S climate is changing, whether you like it or not. As it does, other changes"like rising sea levels or falling crop yields"follow. It is easy to see how this might lead to conflict. Competition for ever scarcer resources such as arable land and its bounty can turn ugly. As the price of food rises the poor, who spend more of their income on it, are hit more than the rich, exacerbating income inequality and leading to disaffection, resentment and, possibly, violence.

Whether any of this actually happens, though, has remained moot. Now Solomon Hsiang, of the University of California at Berkeley and his colleagues come to the perturbing conclusion that it does. As they report in Science, climate change does indeed stoke strife, from cross-border wars to homicide.</description>
