| Welcome to Open Forum for Justice and Sovereignty |
|
|
The new world order manifests itself in a number of ways. First, we see a concentration of wealth in the hands of a few who in turn, have the driving seats in ‘democratic’ governments. People’s means of livelihoods are extracted and in time, obliterated, through policies and projects focused entirely on large-scale, technical solutions. We also see that globally, the poorest countries are silenced to accept conditions which keep them straitjacketed in the periphery.
Nevertheless, the institutions and governments promulgating today’s dominant economic policies are powerful, but not omnipotent. When Fukuyama announced the “end of history,” perhaps he underestimated the role of social movements that have emerged as a formidable counter to existing forms of institutional arrangements. In resisting the globalisation project, social movements, when organised, united and strategic can and are playing a major role in shaping alternatives and questioning the norms and values which the mainstream upholds with blind subservience
In the spirit of peoples struggle against the domination of neoliberal policies and keeping the chronic marginalisation and weakened influence of the poor countries particularly the LDCs in the global economy, the southern civil society organizations and campaigns aimed to develop a web based Open Forum to share the views, experiences and ideas amongst the activists, analysts, youth, media and CSO and to search for effective strategies through this alternative discourse.
This Open Forum also aims to mobilize global civil society’s voice against these neoliberal processes as well as convening the ministers and the political leaders of the least developed and developing world to protect the interests of their own people. |
