China to Play a Greater Role as Donor at the World Bank
2007-12-24 09:14:00 Source: World Bank works with Chinese on Africa; China to Play Greater Role in World Bank World Bank President Robert Zoellick visited Li Ruogu, the chairman of the Chinese Export-Import Bank to discuss the possibility of conducting joint development projects in the future. The visit also addressed international concerns about Chinese lending in Africa. China has distinguished itself from other donors by not attaching conditionalities to its loans; however, it has yet to provide guarantees of debt forgiveness, either.Zoellick’s visit reflects the change in the World Bank’s approach to China. The Bank is now working to accommodate China as it transitions from recipient to donor country. As Zoellick noted at his meeting with Li, China has recently made donations to the International Development Association at the World Bank. The Bank is now seeking to recruit more Chinese staff.

German Documentary Reveals the Costs of Privatization
2007-09-10 17:59:00 A powerful new documentary examining the effects of privatization has emerged from Germany. THE BIG SELLOUT weaves a story of mismanagement, neocolonialism, suffering and resistance from four separate corners of the globe. In the film we meet four central characters, beginning with Simon, a British train driver. Simon clearly articulates the consequences of the systematic dismantling of what was once Europe?s best public transportation system. Since Thatcher privatized the rail systems, wages have dropped, employment has dropped, service has denigrated, and no one wants to take responsibility for the rail lines (until recently, the government has stepped in and re-nationalized that one aspect sheerly out of safety concerns and a massive PR disaster after several deaths from rail collisions). Simon is a force for public service and organized labour, and brings the sometimes philosophically lofty discussions of ?common good? down to earth. We meet Miranda, a Phillipine mother whose 1...

The World Bank is Killing Thousands of People
2007-07-27 02:27:00 Source: The Independent While the world's press has been fixated on the teeny-weeny scandal over whether the World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz helped to get his girlfriend a $300,000-a-year gig next door, they have been ignoring the rancid stench of a far bigger scandal wafting from Wolfie's Washington offices. This slo-mo scandal isn't about apparent petty corruption in DC. It's about how Wolfowitz's World Bank is killing thousands of the poorest people in the world, and knowingly worsening our worst crisis - global warming - every day. Let's start with the victims. Meet Hawa Amadu, 70-something, living in the muddy slums of Accra, the capital of Ghana, and trying to raise her grandkids as best she can. Hawa has a problem - a massive problem - and the World Bank put it there. She can't afford water or electricity any more. Why? The World Bank threatened to refuse to lend any more money to her government, which would effectively make it a leper to governmental donors...

Send in the troops, the ballot boxes, and the World Bank
2007-07-06 01:11:00 Michael J. Gerson, writing in The Washington Post, accurately describes Tony Blair's foreign policy and its liberal intentions:More than that of any other world leader, Blair’s foreign policy approach is a rigorous, logical argument. Like advancements in communications and the global economy, political challenges, Blair contends, have “immediate impact, an ability to cross frontiers.†Irresponsible and failing states become bases of operation for terrorist, crime and drug syndicates. This chaos is tamed, in his view, by promoting economic development, treating killer diseases, fighting global warming and achieving peace in the Middle East — an agenda of exhausting idealism. “Justice,†he says, “is the thing that is most powerful in its appeal to people.â€But Blair’s liberalism not only purrs, it bites. When distant chaos grows too intense and threatening, Blair has advocated military interventions from Kosovo to Sierra Leone to Afghanistan to Iraq.His muscular inte...
