  • A Critique of Neoliberalism: Alter-Globalization, Human Rights and the Genoa G8 Summit Xinyi Zhou Guangzhou Foreign Language School, Guangzhou 510000, China
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research (ASSEHR), volume 300 2018 International Workshop on Education Reform and Social Sciences (ERSS 2018) A Critique of Neoliberalism: Alter-globalization, Human Rights and the Genoa G8 Summit Xinyi Zhou Guangzhou Foreign Language School, Guangzhou 510000, China. [email protected] Abstract. Critiques emerge as neoliberal globalization progresses. Alternative globalization movements continue to act transnationally to counter the consequences of neoliberalism. Drawing on the case of Genoa Group of Eight Summit Protest with the focus on debt relief issue, this paper analysis how the alter-globalization movements affect the inclusion of principles of greater equality and democracy into the globalization process. The paper compares neoliberalism and alternative underpinnings, offers an overview of the Genoa Group of Eight Summit Protest, and analyzes G8 debt relief approaches presented in the Genoa G8 Summit. The author finds that the Genoa Group of Eight Summit protests shed light on alternative globalization movements limited if important impact the promotion of human rights in the ongoing and unequal processes of globalization the world over. Keywords: Neoliberalism; Alternative Globalization Movement; Human right; Genoa G8 Group Protest; Debt Relief. 1. Introduction Alter-globalization movements are concerned with a critique of neo-liberal globalization and its multifaceted consequences. These transnational movements envision alternative forms of globalization by advocating their cause in many areas. As such alter-globalization movements are often misunderstood to propose a view that is against globalization more generally. This paper will argue, and in the case of the so-called Genoa Group of Eight Summit Protest (GGESP), that alter-globalization movements offer a vision for globalization that is intended to drive principles of equality and greater participation in democracy instead.

  • Changing the Wind: Movements of Faith for Economic Justice
    Changing the Wind: Movements of Faith for Economic Justice Presented at the Faith and Progressive Policy: Proud Past, Promising Future Conference, sponsored by the Center for American Progress Wednesday, June 9, 2004 Jim Wallis Convener, Call to Renewal Editor, Sojourners magazine It was one of those warm spring days in the nation’s capital when the fresh promise of new possibilities seems, just for a moment, to defy the entrenched ways of Washington. Surrounded by the impressive vista of monuments and museums on the Mall, I stood behind a rough lectern on a make-shift stage, looking into the eyes of 1000 low-income people—mostly single mothers who had been on welfare. My job was to speak and my topic was hope. In a city where the currency is power, these poor Americans seemed a bit out of place. Not used to having much clout in their political system, you could tell they were feeling the energy that comes from just being together. They had come on buses from urban and rural communities to “lobby” the Congress for a new welfare reform bill—one that would effectively help people like themselves to escape poverty and move to self-sufficiency. I told them a story. I remember another group of people who wanted to change things meeting in a high mountain town in Mexico, 2,000 miles from Washington D.C. Two-hundred fifty Christian leaders from 50 countries (mostly from the Southern Hemisphere) were gathered for a whole week to ask how they could learn to do a new kind of “advocacy.” Having spent years doing service to the poor in their own countries, and now engaged in effective community development projects, they still saw the poor losing ground.

  • Discover Scotland CE and Land Tour September 23—October 1, 2017
    Discover Scotland CE and Land Tour September 23—October 1, 2017 Though small in size, it most certainly is not lacking in extensive history, beautiful landscape, and vibrant culture. True to the Scots saying, “Guid gear comes in sma bouk!” which translates to “Good things come in small packages”, as one of the most visited travel destinations in the world, Scotland captivates even the most experienced traveller. Offering something for history buffs and first time travellers alike, Scotland’s numerous castles, lochs, and medieval cities are enough to please one’s exploratory palate. In addition to its natural landscape, which has been an inspiration to artists and writers for centuries, and its rich, unique history which dates back to Roman times, Scotland is also home to the bizarre albeit delicious haggis, known for its Angus beef, and the source of over one-hundred whisky distilleries. If you wish to dip your toes into one of its many lochs, delve into a glass of pure malt whisky, or stroll through medieval castles, Scotland will welcome you with open arms. Saturday, September 23rd—Edinburgh Arrive Edinburgh and transfer to Hotel Balmoral where you can relax and refresh before heading out on an afternoon walking tour of the Royal Mile. Dinner on own Overnight at Hotel Balmoral Sunday, September 24th—Edinburgh Breakfast at the hotel followed by a CE Meeting Afternoon at leisure to enjoy Edinburgh at your own pace Dinner this evening is a very special event as we head to Gosford House which was designed for the seventh Earl of Wemyss to enjoy a traditional Scottish dinner, including a bagpiper, the “address to the haggis”, whiskey tasting, music and highland dancing Overnight Hotel Balmoral Edinburgh is two cities in one: the medieval Old Town, its famous historical past and it the ‘closes’ and ‘wynds’ of the cobbled streets and the famous Royal Mile which leads from the castle to the park of Holyrood.
