Maldevelopment: claims and proposals for breaking with it

A first draft for a roadmap by and for social movements

This didactic booklet presents the demands and proposals of social movements and other grassroots organisations in different countries for a way out of the current multidimensional crisis (economic, health, climate, social, political, etc.).

Gathered during the first worldwide confinements linked to Covid-19, many of these claims focus on health and development issues. They also address other issues such as peasant farming, the defence of the environment and climate justice, working conditions and the fight against inequality, the responsibility of transnational corporations, discrimination against women, etc.

Faced with a politically and militarily hyper-organised oligarchy, this booklet simply aims to spread the will of the people to change the system through a popular perspective, based on social justice and the regeneration of ecosystems.

These demands and proposals provide guidelines for social movements and other grassroots organisations to help them change the balance of power vis-à-vis the neoliberal oligarchy.

The list of claims and proposals is taken from the book “Une pandémie révélatrice d’un maldéveloppement généralisé“, Murad Akincilar, published by CETIM, Geneva, 2023.
