  • The New Washington Consensus: Millennial Philanthropy and the Making of Global Market Subjects
    The New Washington Consensus: Millennial Philanthropy and the Making of Global Market Subjects Katharyne Mitchell and Matthew Sparke Department of Geography, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA; [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: This paper outlines the emergence of a New Washington Consensus associ- ated with leading philanthropies of the new millennium. This emergent development paradigm by no means represents a historic break with the market rationalities of neoliberalism, nor does it represent a radical departure from older models of early 20th century philanthropy. Rather, it is new in its global ambition to foster resilient market sub- jects for a globalized world; and new in its employment of micro-market transformations to compensate for macro-market failures. Focusing on reforms pioneered by the new philanthropic partnerships in education and global health, the paper indicates how the targets of intervention are identified as communities that have been failed by both governments and markets. The resulting interventions are commonly justified in terms of “return on investment”. But the problems they target keep returning because the underlying causes of failure are left unaddressed. Keywords: neoliberalism, philanthropy, development, education, global health We believe every person deserves the chance to live a healthy, productive life (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation). “They desire the existing state of society minus its revolutionaryanddisintegrating elements.” This is how Marx and Engels (2004:44) described the “socialistic

  • I Make This Declaration Based on My Own Personal Knowledge and If Called to Testify I Could and Would Do So Competently As Follows
    Case 1:21-cv-00100-EGS Document 118-23 Filed 08/11/21 Page 1 of 68 DECLARATION OF CECILIA MENJIVAR, Ph.D. I, Cecilia Menjivar, declare as follows: I make this declaration based on my own personal knowledge and if called to testify I could and would do so competently as follows. I. Summary 1. The government’s assertion that an injunction in this case would be a “pull factor” triggering an increase in the arrival of asylum-seeking families requesting entry to the United States is unfounded. I have studied the causes of migration for decades and they are not a function of U.S. court decisions or changes in policy, but conditions in migrants’ countries of origin. For refugees, threats to life or freedom in their countries of origin are a strong push factor that will likely overcome any disincentive created by harsher enforcement policies at the southern border. II. Qualifications 2. I received my Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, Davis in 1992. My doctoral dissertation was titled “Salvadoran Migration to the U.S.: The Dynamics of Social Networks in International Migration.” 3. Currently, I am a professor of Sociology at University of California, Los Angeles, where I hold the Dorothy L. Meier Chair in Social Equities. Previously, I was Foundation Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of Kansas. And prior to my position at KU, I was on the faculty at Arizona State University for 19 years, where I was Cowden Distinguished Professor with my appointment as full professor. 4. At UCLA, I am affiliated faculty in the Latin American Institute and the Center for the Study of International Migration, and Faculty Fellow of the California Center for 1 Case 1:21-cv-00100-EGS Document 118-23 Filed 08/11/21 Page 2 of 68 Population Research.
