The Social Impact of Globalisation in the World

This Social Watch report is the product of citizen coalitions from over forty countries. Each country summary is the result of many weeks of research, consultations and debate. The authors come from different backgrounds. Some are engaged in defending human rights, others organise the poor at community level. Some work for trade unions representing thousands of workers, others concentrate on gender issues. All Social Watch contributors are required to investigate the facts and the latest trends in countries where vital statistics are often missing, hidden or distorted to reflect official views. Then they must summarise in a few pages the conclusions of lengthy discussions, asking themselves such questions as: What is our main message? Does this or that detail provide convincing or merely anecdotal evidence? The wealth of information and rich discussion behind every country report could fill whole books, and in fact, many of the national Social Watch coalitions are starting to publish such books, so that this important resource is not lost. But our work does not end with the publication of reports. The results must be made widely known so that they can influence and effectively shape the policies that will right injustice.
