Tram6 Zwelinzima Vavi Emst Ulrich von Weizsaecker En uflciu III~IIIIJ~I~.Bill BI~U Eui-yong Chung Daniel Funes de Rioja Juan Somavia Alain T.udwic Toti PREFACE In his address to the United Nations General Assembly on 23 September 2003, the United Nations SecretaryGeneral, Kofi Annan, succinctly warned the world body that It had “come to a fork in the road.” We, the Co-Chairs of the World Commission on the Social Dimensinn nf Clnhali7aHnn. helipve the wnrld stands at a histnrir mnmpnt nf rlericinn The Commission was established to address some of the challenges facing the world as it stands at this fork. As human beings, it is in our power to take a correct turn. which would make the world safer, fair, ethical, inclusive and prosperous for the majority, not just for a few, within countries and between countries. It is also in our power to prevaricate, to ignore the road signs, and let the world we all share slide into further spirals of political turbulence, conflicts and wars. We believe we have in these following pages enough of the case for political leaders, nationally and internationally, to be persuaded to take the correct turn. Currently, globalization is a divisive subject. It verges on a dialogue of the deaf, both nationally and internationally. Yet the future of our countries, and the destiny of our globe, demands that we all rethinkglobalization. This report is timely. The debate is changing. Old convictions and ideologies have been tested by experience, and changed by example. People are open to a fresh start. Now is the time for leadership, to move from sterile debate to positive action. We believe that, in this report, we have looked at globalization through the eyes of the people, rising above our constituencies and capturing faithfully the hopes and fears of our shared humanity. Many recognize the opportunities for a better life that globalization presents. We believe their hopes are realizable. but only if globalization is subjected to bet- ter governance at all levels. More people than ever before do not want to be left behind by the globalization train: but they want lo be sure where it is heading, and that it is travelling at survivable speed. Our driving spirit has been to make globalization a positive force for all people and countries. We propose no panaceas or simple solutions: instead we suggest a new perspective. We believe the dominant perspective on globalization must shift more from a narrow preoccupation with markets to a broader preoccupation with people. Globalization must be brought from the high pedestal of corporate board rooms and cabinet meetings to meet the needs of people in the communities in which they live. The social dimension of global- ization is about jobs, health and education - but it goes far beyond these. It is the dimension of globalization which people experience in their daily life and work: the totality of their aspirations for democratic participation and materlal prosperlty. A better globallzatlon IS the key to a better and secure life for people everywhere in the 21st century. We also propose a process by which such a perspective can be realized at all levels, beginning with empowered local communities and improved and more accountable national governance: fair global rules applied fairly: and global institutions that are more pro-people. We propose a series of actions - each small in themselves. Yet taken together they will set in train a process to achieve this goal by stimulating and energizing the networks of people and ideas and the economic and social interactions of globalization itself. Our experience working in the commission makes us conndent of the future. The Commission is a microcosm of thc very widc divcrsity of oplnion. conccrns ond pcrspcc tives of the real world. We come from some of the wealthiest and poorest countries. We comprise trade unionists and corporate leaders, parliamentarians and presidents, leaders of indigenous peoples and women’s activists, scholars and government advisors. We have seen, in the course of our work, how divergent positions can be spanned and how common interests can lead to common action through dialogue. The Commission was established by the LO.It had full and independent responsibil- ity for its Report, and members of the Commission served in their individual capacity. The members of the Commission do not each subscribe to every statement in the text, but they endorse the Report as a whole to stimulate a wider process of public dialogue and common endeavour which will promote a fair and inclusive globalization. It was a great pleasure and a uniquely enriching experience for us. the CoChairs. to work with a Cnmmission rompnwd of siirh a distinguished. thoroughly committed and energetic group of global citizens. We thank them wholeheartedly for their dedication, contribution and cooperation. We thank the very capable Secretariat that served us so well. And we are grateful to the UO for the decision to constitute such a Commission and to hon- our us with the historic responsibillty to chair it. To the world, and especially to political and corporate leaders everywhere, we present these pointers to a better globalization, a better future for people - all people. Tarja Halonen Benjamin Willlvn Mkapa President of the Republic of Finland President of the United Republic Cochair of Tanzania: Co-Chair SYNOPSIS Introduction Our remit, the Social Dimension of Globalization, is a vast and complex one. As a Commission we were broadly representative of the diverse and contending actors and interests that exist in the real wnrld ro-rhaired by twn cerving Heads of State. a woman and a man, from North and South. we came from countries in different parts of the world and at all stages of development. Our affiliations were equally diverse: government. politics, parliaments, business and multinational corporations, organized labour, academia and civil sociely. Yet, through a spirit of common purpose, we arrived at the shared understandings that are before you.

  • Tanzania Bruce Heilman and William John Introduction United Under The
    COUNTRIES AT THE CROSSROADS Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Tanzania Bruce Heilman and William John1 Introduction United under the leadership of the nationalist Tanganyika National African Union (TANU) party and its visionary founder, Julius Nyerere, Tanganyika peacefully gained independence from Britain on December 9, 1961. However, political independence for the nearby Indian Ocean islands of Zanzibar was turbulent. Zanzibar became independent in December 1963, but was divided by two rival nationalist movements, the African-oriented Afro-Shirazi Party (ASP) and the Arab-oriented Zanzibar Nationalist Party (ZNP). Its first postcolonial government, formed by the ZNP, was quickly overthrown by a violent revolution that transferred state power to the ASP in January 1964. 2 After the revolution the Zanzibar constitution was suspended and Abedi Karume and the Revolutionary Council ruled by decree. In April 1964 Zanzibar merged with Tanganyika to form the United Republic of Tanzania. Despite the union, Zanzibar’s government retained considerable autonomy over its internal affairs and political dissent on the islands was not tolerated with human rights abuses widely reported. It was not until 1980 that a semblance of rule of law returned to Zanzibar with the introduction of single party elections and in 1984 Zanzibar finally enacted a constitution. The revolution on Zanzibar coincided with a rising tide of expectations and uncertainty on the mainland, as the lifting of colonial oppression unleashed numerous societal demands that the new government had limited means to address. Calls for jobs, higher wages, and improved access to education, health care, and water, as well as Africanization of the military, civil service, and the private sector of the economy, led to numerous strikes.

To achieve a fair globalization improved governance is needed at all levels: local, national, regional and global. Annexes National governance Policies, institutions and actions within nations are fundamental determinants of whether countries, and all people within them, benefit from globalization. Our pro- posals are therefore anchored at national and local levels. Recognizing that policies must respond to the needs and specific conditions in each country, the key priorities include: 1. Good national governance, built on a democratic political system, respect for human rights and gender equality, social equity and the rule of law. There should be institutions for the representation of all interests and for social dialogue. (238–245) 2. An effective role of the State in providing essential public goods and adequate social protection, in raising the capabilities and opportunities of all people and in enhancing economic competitiveness. (249–251, 255–259, 269–277) 3. Sound institutions to support and supervise markets; prudent management of the process of integration into the global economy; and macroeconomic policies for achieving high and stable growth. (247–248, 251–254) 4. Policies and institutional reforms to integrate the informal economy into the eco- nomic mainstream, through policies to raise productivity, incomes and protec- tion and ensure a legal and institutional framework for property and labour rights and enterprise development.
