Our Group has been in existence since the mid-1990s. Our main activity consists of an annual conference and the publication of a collectively written annual report. We review and critique the economic, social and ecological policies of the EU as well as propose alternatives from a fair, inclusive and socially/ecologically sustainable perspective.

… and what to do about it?
There is an elephant in the room. Stocks of wealth – assets such as property, savings, and investments that can be given a monetary value – have soared in recent decades. According to the Wealth Inequality Database, average wealth in the UK has doubled from £100k per head in 1985 to £200k per head in 2021. To put this another way, it took several millennia for wealth in Britain to reach the £100k threshold. And then, a mere 36 years later, this stock of wealth had doubled: a bonanza unprecedented in human history.

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) is meeting in Abu Dhabi from 26-29 February 2024 for its 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) when peasant unrest is being reported from across the world.

In Asia, more than 10 countries have witnessed mobilisations by peasants in the run-up to the four-day conference which will bring together delegates and Ministers from 164 countries to discuss issues related to fisheries, agriculture and digital trade.
Many Europeans hold exclusionary and restrictive notions of national identity, which set high barriers to the acceptance of immigrants in national societies. Until recent years, however, relatively few acted on these notions by voting for parties with restrictive positions on immigration.
This relationship now seems to have changed, with increasing success for the far right. What has caused this change? Our recent research provides an answer.

The global south debt crisis is no longer a risk, but a very tangible reality. Increasing debt payments are crippling governments’ ability to provide essential public services and tackle the climate crisis.
Debt service, including both domestic and external debt payments, is absorbing an average 38 per cent of budget revenue and 30 per cent of spending across the global south. This rises to 54 per cent of revenue and 40 per cent of spending in Africa, according to a Debt Service Watch report.
