13.06.2007 Latinalaisessa Amerikassa perinteiset taloustieteilijät ja monet poliitikot erehtyvät toistuvasti ajattelemaan, että talouskasvu luo automaattisesti kehitystä ja vähentää köyhyyttä. Jotta tästä erehdyksestä päästään, on kehitys ja kehitysteoriat nostettava uudelleen keskusteluun, kirjoittavat CLAES-tutkimuslaitoksen analyytikot Eduardo Gudynas ja Carolina Villalba Medero.

Manifestazioni al G8
05.06.2007 "E’ forte la sensazione che l’Italia stia frenando la formulazione di un accordo finale che includa impegni quantitativi precisi sulle risorse destinate alla lotta alla povertà". E' il commento di Luca De Fraia di ActionAid e della Coalizione Italiana contro la Povertà (GCAP) presenti all’incontro col Presidente del Consiglio Prodi avvenuto ieri a Palazzo Chigi. "L’Italia rischia di presentarsi a mani vuote al Summit dei G8, in particolar modo per quello che riguarda il Fondo Globale per la lotta all’Aids, rinviando ogni impegno al prossimo Dpef". Intanto Vittorio Agnoletto, eurodeputato della Sinistra europea, afferma che il G8 può subito prendere "due decisioni: versare i contributi promessi al Fondo globale per la lotta all’AIDS, Tbc e malaria e impegnarsi per la modifica in sede WTO delle regole internazionali sui brevetti che, impedendo la creazione di un mercato internazionale di farmaci generici, condannano a morte milioni di persone ogni anno.
