Poverty Eradication and Social Integration: The Position of the UK
In: International social science journal: ISSJ, Band 51, S. 467-472
ISSN: 0020-8701
The eradication of world poverty is at the center of the development agenda. It is argued here that this goal cannot be achieved without promoting social integration, which requires the promotion of civil, political, social, & economic rights for all people. Efforts of the UK government toward achieving this goal are considered. It is hoped that through the 1995 Copenhagen (Denmark) World Summit on Social Development, as well as the Millennium Assembly, governments in the North & South will commit themselves to these goals, & agree on clear indicators of progress. 1 Photograph.

The Meaning of Globalization for Development Policy

The Secretary of State for International Development reviews the Government's development strategy. The core commitment is to help mobilize the international political will to meet the aims of the UN international poverty eradication strategy. This will require resource transfers in the form of aid as investment, if the poorest countries are to be enabled to develop more trade and become part of the global economy. Globalization increases wealth creation, yet there is a danger that some countries could become marginalized from the world economy. To avoid this, developing countries must become full participants on the global economic stage, shaping and influencing the global rules in line with their interests and needs. There are three key challenges at the top of the Government's agenda: (1) the mainstreaming of development issues in the formation of UK and EU policy, (2) encouragement and active support for the efforts of developing countries themselves to become active players on the world economic stage, (3) the building of partnerships to make this happen—with governments, with global economic institutions, with the business sector, with donors and with NGOs. Globalization is characterized by the pace of technological change, the emergence of a more sophisticated system of global economic rules—with the World Trade Organization now at centre stage alongside the IMF and the World Bank—and the increasingly important role of multinational companies. Responding to globalization is not an optional extra. The old models of development need to be rethought. The Department for International Development has a key role to play in this, by ensuring that policy‐makers in the UK, within the EU and internationally take full account of development aspects from the outset.
