Dialogue on Globalization is co-ordinated by the head office of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in Berlin and by the FES offices in New York and Geneva. The programme intensively draws on the international network of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung – a German non- profit institution committed to the principles of social democracy – with offices, pro- grammes and partners in more than 100 countries. This Occasional Paper is published by the New York office of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung. February 2005 Table of Contents: 1. Executive Summary 4 2. Author’s Preface 7 3. Historical Background 8 4.

Parliamentary Hearing at the United Nations
Parliamentary Hearing at the United Nations ECOSOC Chamber 19 - 20 November 2009 The Way Forward – Building political support and implementing effective responses to the global economic crisis THURSDAY, 19 NOVEMBER 10 a.m. - 10.30 a.m. Opening session Statements by: • H.E. Mr. Ali Abdussalam Treki, President of the General Assembly • H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations • The Honorable Dr. Theo-Ben Gurirab, President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union 10.30 a.m. – 1 p.m. Session I Overview of the international response to the crisis The global economic and financial crisis has prompted an unprecedented response by both national and international actors. Meetings of the G20 have issued a number of commitments that together amount to a global stimulus package of some $ 1.1 trillion and a thrust toward regulatory reforms. A United Nations global conference last June focused on the impact of the crisis on development and launched a process, in the form of a working group of the General Assembly, to bring to fruition some key recommendations. The conference also set the stage for a number of initiatives, such as more regulation of the financial industry, more global cooperation on tax matters, the possible creation of a global reserve currency, stronger linkages between the UN and the Bretton Woods institutions, and many others. Moreover, it encouraged the IPU to continue to bring a parliamentary contribution to the development of global responses to the crisis. This recognition by the international community of the role and responsibility of parliaments in addressing the global crisis comes in the aftermath of IPU’s own global parliamentary conference in May of this year.
