The
International ATTAC Movement was created at an international meeting in
Paris, on December 11-12, 1998
| The creation of the
"international movement for democratic control of financial markets
and their institutions" wants to respond to that dynamic. Referring
to the platform, it forms a network, with neither "hierarchical"
structures nor a geographical "center". Pluralist, it is enriched
by the variety of its components and makes the common action easier without
limiting it in any way, nor dictating their freedom of contribution. It
aims to reinforce, to link and to coordinate, at an international level,
the contribution of all of its partners who see themselves as fitting
within the structure of its platform. In the same way, it wishes to reinforce
its cooperation with all the other networks whose objectives converge
with its own. |

Summary...
1. The Crisis of the Globalist Project and the New Economics of George W. Bush (Walden Bello)
We have, in short, entered a historical maelstrom marked by prolonged economic crisis, the spread of global resistance, the reappearance of the balance of power among center states, and the reemergence of acute inter-imperialist contradictions. We must have a healthy respect for US power, but neither must we overestimate it. The signs are there that the US is seriously overextended and what appear to be manifestations of strength might in fact signal weakness strategically.
2. Iraq: descending into the quagmire (By Colonel Daniel Smith)
American military strategy from the horse’s mouth, so to speak: A retired US colonel analyses the US military response to guerrilla or “small” war methods and the reasons for their disastrous lack of success. The purely military response, ignoring the ideological basis of such wars, led to defeat in Vietnam, and is presently allowing a dreaded “quagmire” develop in Iraq.
3. The Two Faces of George Bush in Africa (By Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman)
President Bush is doing a barnstorming tour of Africa to call attention to his administration's commitment to addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic on the continent. One problem: He's simultaneously trying to impose on African countries enhanced patent protections that would undermine their ability to gain access to affordable medicines.
4. Whether To Be Loved or Feared
(By Mark Engler)
The news, simply put, is that the world hates us. Less than two years ago, following the attacks of 9/11, outpourings of sympathy for the Untied States flowed from around the globe. Yet those in power in Washington have swiftly converted that goodwill into distrust and contempt.
