That was the G8 Blog of the newsletter world economy and development, and the Heinrich Boell Foundation

By Rainer Falk and Barbara Unmüßig

He was, therefore, the G8 summit! Never has there been so many critical social events, demonstrations and actions. This was also a top, experienced the unacceptable, violent riots, and sparked a debate about the fundamental right to demonstrate has. And it was not last a summit whose content and political substance can hardly be beaten yet:

After all, a triple step for the climate negotiating process within the UN framework and - not to be underestimated - a united EU, but no breakthrough for effective climate protection, the so- sorely needed it, given the tight time frame and responsibility of the G8 countries.

A significant step backwards in the Africa policy: bring to recycle old resolutions, without a concrete implementation plan and no further undermined Africa all credibility of the G8.

Finally, an apparent solution in terms of global governance: a fixed term of two years of institutionalized dialogue with the five major emerging countries, but only on issues that the North and the G8 at heart. All this is not dialogue on an equal footing, yet visionary leadership, "nor efficient management of globalization. Once again, it has become clear what a anachronistic structure, the G8 has now become, after all, was taken up once to turn the fortunes of the world economy and world politics for the better.

nearly four months, we now have the preparatory process and the G8 summit itself accompanies this weblog. In more than 90 entries and 17 guest commentary was hardly an aspect of the summit events unlit. We reported the counter-activities, as well as from the official meetings of large demonstrations as well as by smaller discussion groups and seminars. The response was very positive.

As we finish this blog today, we will continue the process of globalization issues. The summit process has "under construction of globalization "left behind, which continue to require our efforts.

The movement for global justice are the days of Rostock and Heiligendamm made great progress, but also new reflection and clarification. The image of the unsuccessful start to increase during the summit week, not happily bonded. The agreement was signed, the content profile of the alternative summit, the resounding "No" against any violence, the courage of the blockade participants to articulate their civil disobedience, peaceful, and the media coverage of the great concert of action "Your voice against poverty".

The Heinrich Boell Foundation will continue its commitment to environmentally and socially and gender equitable world economy and an effective and equitable climate together with its partners around the world. Whether alternative proposals at this global Agrahandelssystem or just resources and raw materials policy , the future of emissions trading or multilateral governance, we will get involved and make a contribution that the civil society with its political ideas and projects voice heard and more and more able to enforce.

also newsletter World Economy & Development (W & E) will edit this blog and will present the issues raised in the very next week (>>> W & E 06/2007 ) a thorough analytical evaluation of the official summit results. In our series background On the way to Heiligendamm - The European Civil Society we will be engaged more strongly with the problems of financing for development and reform of development aid. As early as next month starts our new series "From Monterrey to Doha ( >>> W & E 03-04/2007) to accompany the next stage of the development debate is. And for our W & D blog sites of globalization we are already planning a relaunch soon.

Pickings II: Completion of the G8 protest week - Starts a new process of reflection?

(Michael Kömm) At the end of the week had called the protest organizations again at a joint rally in the city's harbor. At the beginning, they recognized that the many colorful protests a clear stand against the political institution of the G8 and its policies have set. Despite numerous donations, there is unfortunately still a deficit and therefore will continue to ask for donations .

was followed by a brief summary of responsibilities among the "protest modules". In the camps have spent the night during the week around 18,000 people, the self-government was possible only by the many voluntary helpers. Critical View, however, was the poor communication with the BAO Kavala, the Rostock police department, or its repeated threat of evacuation of the camps. The campaign showed Block G8 was very pleased and felt positive about, rightly, that - despite some provocations by the police - the part of the peaceful protesters remained. The organizers of the Alternative Summit thanked the 2,000 visitors for their active participation.

The Legal Team that the apprehended Demonstrators legal aid offered, presented his preliminary results: So it was during the week to 1136 arrests, of which 95% are considered illegal. At the end of the week of protest for the first 600 people arrested were again confirmed as free, the fate of others is still unclear.

The rally itself was the excesses of violence after the mass demonstration usually no or - given only very tentative opinions - if then. Rather a reflection process was announced. Inside, the alliance set up in my view, principles for future cooperation between the various organizations, which is essential for be the future picture of the global justice movement. It is quite possible that such a political activist and width, as it gave them to these G8 protests in Germany will have been unique.

Pickings I: final podium of the Alternative Summit

(Michael Kömm) Once again flocked around 1,000 people in the Rostock Nicolai church to witness the final plenary of the alternative summit (see photo). The closing speech was the winner of the Alternative Nobel Prize, Vandana Shiva. In it she referred to the importance of living democracy, referred to strengthen and expand it applies. The aim must be to the profit-motivated acts of transnational corporations (eg through the use of genetic engineering and patent protection with anti-social TRIPS) to halt and to preserve the biodiversity of the world. Shiva demanded that the vibrant democracy, "a freedom has to be reinvented," in which people break those laws that jeopardize the future of humanity. It should, however, with non-violence and solidarity to expect the highest possible influence. At the end of the podium, a clear sign of solidarity to the many thousands of peaceful blocking was sent - both verbal and financial forms.
summary, I think
that the alternative summit - peace in the complementarity had a big part in that the G8 action days are seen after the riots last Saturday again in a positive light - blockades. Even the most numerous participants were inspired by the positive atmosphere and participated actively in the various discussion groups. However, one should be realistic: the Alternative Summit as a place of innovation to see - this claim is too high. Rather, it is a good way to make active education and discourses into the public domain. Now the actors carry the movement beyond the summit of these discourses and in everyday life anchor. Then the alternative summit in the medium term impact of globalization Movement unfold.

Once again, Africa: The big disappointment and the double standards of the summit

That the federal government wants to sell the Heiligendamm Summit as a great success does not take a miracle. As for the decisions to Africa, but he was a great disappointment. After all the hype that has in advance and held parallel to the subject, one might have expected more than the vague affirmation of the promise of Gleneagles and the nebulous announcement, at an unspecified time up to 60 billion dollars for the fight against HIV / Output AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis do.

Many NGOs - and this time, unlike in Gleneagles, the rock stars - are now terrified. But The summit of Heiligendamm in terms of Africa and development assistance, only the old tradition of writing vague statements of intent, which has always been a hallmark of the G8.

While some of the media, the official song of the success of the summit singing along, the more serious of them refer to the damage that the G8 now using its Africa policy. While they are in their Africa declaration as detailed as ever before good governance, good governance, preach, they shave themselves not in the least to keep to their commitments once made. To the summit of hypocrisy and double standards this year became the so-called Africa Outreach (see photo) ie the invitation of some African leaders at the side table. In this context, the G8 welcomed this time also the new Nigerian President Umara Yar'Adua. Who was coming in through an electoral fraud to power, as the EU observers noted unanimous. After publication of his inauguration, no Western head of state, he could now occur in Heiligendamm as a representative of the "new Africa". In the print edition of the Financial Times yesterday hailed two large corporations this breakthrough: "Nigeria's new president arrives. G8 Summit: Ready for Business ". Business is always so good against good governance.
