greetings wsn!
i am presently writing a thesis concerning the challenges that
non-governmental organizations in sub-saharan africa present to the new
trade agenda of the world trade organization. i would like your help.
the basic tenet of my thesis is that non-governmental organizations are
banding together in what i call a phenomenon of resistance to fight
the adoption and implementation of new trade agreements negotiated in the
WTO. these arrangements (such as the multilateral agreement on investment
and the nullification of the multifiber agreement)are anti-thetical to the
economic development of sub-saharan african countries. They directly
conflict with international commitments already made by OECD member
countries to encourage and actively support sustainable development.
i am looking for case studies, sites of resistance, where all the action
is taking place...if you know of any NGO summits, or the like that
have dealt with issues of trade liberalization and how WTO agreements help
are hurt african development, i would greatly appreciate your guidance...
any information that you can offer to help guide my research would be
greatly appreciated...please feel free to contact me via e-mail,
telephone, or postal mail; my information is in the signature below.
thank you!
