The Bretton Woods Project works to monitor and reform the World Bank and IMF. It tracks key policy statements and reports, and provides critiques and early warnings used by non-governmental organisations across the world. The Bretton Woods Project was set up in 1995 to facilitate the work of UK non-government organisations (NGOs) concerned about the social and environmental impacts of World Bank and IMF financing in developing countries. The Project circulates information to NGOs in the UK and across the world, identifies lobbying or campaigning opportunities, organises meetings with officials and prepares briefings on important issues. The Project"s quarterly newsletter, the Bretton Woods Update, summarises key World Bank, IMF and NGO activities and lists available documents and important dates. (en)

This is an autonomus zone! A place that offers visibility, relations and a chance of rejoice to those who have been fragmented and dispersed by the deep changes occurred in our society - those who are not aligned with the "unique thought", not yet resigned to marginality - those who still can wish to build a REAL movement able to change the current "state of things".

Maquila is the short form of the word maquiladora. It was originally associated with the process of milling. In Mexico it became the word for another kind of processing -- the assembly of imported component parts for reexport. The maquilas in Mexico began as a border phenomenon over 30 years ago. With the support of the Mexican government, US firms set up assembly plants on the Mexican side of the border. They were allowed to import components and raw materials duty-free and reexport the finished product to the US. Now maquilas are in many parts of Mexico and Central America. The lure of the maquilas is low wages, a lack of environmental or labour regulations, low taxes, and few if any duties. Products produced include apparel, electronic goods, autoparts, etc. - Incl. kommentierter linkliste. (en/ca)

Rising Tide is an international network of groups and individuals committed to a grassroots approach to fighting for climate justice. We believe that the Kyoto protocol will fail to combat the climate change crisis. Instead, the protocol promotes the self-interest of industrialised nations and corporations, marginalising issues of global equity and the environment.

Risingtide versteht sich als eine dezentral organisierte außerparlamentarische und kapitalismuskritische Gruppe. Unser Ziel ist es, ein breit gefächertes Netzwerk aufzubauen, um in der Öffentlichkeit ein kritisches Bewusstsein zur Problematik des globalen Klimawandels zu schaffen. Wir begleiten kritisch die UN-Klimaverhandlungen und versuchen diesbezüglich die im Kyoto-Vertrag enthaltenen sozialen Ungleichheiten (Rassismus, Neokolonialismus, Neoliberalismus) herauszuarbeiten. Unsere Forderungen leiten sich von wissenschaftlichen Analysen des IPCC zum globalen Klimawandel ab.
