The Meaning of Doha
http://www.corpwatch.org/issues/wto/featured/2001/doha.html
Walden Bello, of Focus on the Global South, and Anuradha Mittal, of Food
First, set the record straight on recent WTO talks. US Trade
Representative Robert Zoellick said the meeting "removed the stain of
Seattle." At that summit two years ago, developing nations revolted
inside the talks, while protestors took to the streets. This time around
Zoellick and his free trade buddies got much, but not all, of what they
wanted. However, the authors note that "Doha was a defeat for
developing countries." Ultimately, they conclude, it will be a Pyrrhic
victory for the free traders as resentment in the developing nations
grows and the world teeters on the brink of a global recession.
TAKE ACTION

Support Bolivian Anti-Privatization Activist Oscar Olivera!
The activist who fought Bechtel's take over of water services in
Cochibamba was detained this week on sedition charges. Olivera was
released the same day, but the charges have not been dropped and he
could be arrested again at any time. Tell Bolivia's president to end
arbitrary arrests and drop the charges against Olivera.
