Editorial

Today we set a thematic spotlight on trade, economy, and financing. Foremost, we highlight our newest blogpost by Christian Dorninger, Anke Schaffartzik, and Hanspeter Wieland on how Trade Reproduces International Inequalities. Furthermore, we present a selection of publications from our members on these issues. Two reports from our premium members are picked as highlights: Linking Voluntary Standards to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the German Development Institute among others and the SDG Bond Framework by the Agence Française de Développement. Once again, we cordially invite you to register for our virtual dialogue series on global responses to Covid-19. As usual, you find our picks of calls, vacancies, online activities, and publications further below.

From our Blog: Trade Reproduces International Inequalities

Through international trade, richer countries do not merely generate a monetary trade surplus, but also appropriate international resources and labour from poorer countries. While this allows high consumption standards, economic growth, and the simultaneous protection of domestic natural resources in some countries, more land for mining and agriculture for exports is being extracted from the local economies in others. As a result, this makes a socially-ecologically sustainable development impossible. Our research team was now able to prove that ecologically unequal exchange was a persistent feature of the global economy from 1990 to 2015. Read more

Upcoming EADI Virtual Dialogues

Domestic Workers’ Activism during the Pandemic Crisis in Latin America, 22 October, 11.00 CET

Latin American domestic workers, a sector mostly comprised of precarious, informal and racialized women, were particularly impacted by the Covid-19 crisis which translated into a massive loss of jobs and revenues, high exposure to risks of contamination and increased rights’ violations at the workplace. Louisa Acciari will discuss how domestic workers have been organising and resisting against this social, economic and health crisis while facing a drastic lack of state support. She will show that domestic workers’ unions have undertaken remarkable actions to support their members, and can be considered a leading example of resilience and human solidarity in times of crisis.

Towards a Wellbeing Economics. How and why we need to do economics differently, 28 October, 12.00 CET.

Economics should be more about human wellbeing and human-nature relationships than about growth. Addressing current global problems of rising inequality, climate change, migration and health pandemics requires a fundamental rethink of how we think about the economy and the ways we practice it. Dr Nicky Pouw introduces her new book on ‘Wellbeing Economics’ and moves beyond the criticism to introduce new axiomatic principles and a theoretical framework for reorienting economics towards the optimisation of wellbeing, instead of a narrow growth focus.
