A DIFFERENT LOCAL DEVELOPMENT

The role of communities for a globalisation from below


During the last years neoliberal globalisation and government control
have “exploited” the territories depriving them of their identity and
reducing them to a simple gear of the global economic machine.
Strategic infrastructures, militarization, delocalization,
privatizations: good enough only for enterprises as places of
delocalazation and transit of goods, manpower exploitation, creation
of transportation networks that destroys the environment;
territories have demanded an autonomous local development, based on
the central role played by the community, active participation,
valorisation of resources and the local actors.

II Session



21. 00 – 23.00 Sala Consiliare



MARGHERA, MOSE, TAV AND DAL MOLIN, IS A PEACEFUL AND CLEAN ECONOMY
POSSIBLE? Chemical industries, infrastructures, military bases and a
militarized economy. Towards an alternative economic model



The petrochemical plant of Marghera – and more in general the ongoing
development of the chemical industry – represents an important and
dramatic page of the development model and the industrial policies of
Veneto and Italy. Strategic infrastructures such as TAV and Mose, are
a wound for the territories. The new military base in Dal Molin,
Vicenza, represents a dark chapter that sees the communities
suffering in the name of militarization. Starting from the
opposition to an economy that produces, as “collateral effects”
pollution, wars and death, how can we build a clean, sustainable and
unarmed economy?

III Session


9.30-11.30, Teatro Aurora ( Aurora Theater )

THE FALL OF BUSINESS: WHICH ALTERNATIVES ?

The decline of the “North- East model” and the precarious economy.
Ways for building responsible enterprises

The fall of business comes from far away as the Italian industry
sector is declining and with it the labour legislation, sacrificed in
the name of precariousness and flexibility. For many years the
“North-East” model was considered as the paradigm of a neoliberal
economy based on “costs competitiveness”, on exploitation of workers
and environmental degradation. Starting from the crisis and the
protest against such model, is it possible to imagine a different
role of the enterprise?

IV Session


12.00- 13.00 Teatro Aurora ( Aurora Theater )

AFTER COAL AND OIL, ANOTHER ECONOMY



Our development model is destructive and energy eater. We are
consuming and harming our planet. The development model based on oil
and coal has created an unsustainable condition. We need to think
about a “post-fossil” model for our economy and development. Which
are the alternatives for an environmental and social quality of
development able to improve our lives and protect the planet?

NOT CLIENTS, BUT CITIZENS
The return of Solidarity and Common Goods

During the last years the neoliberal ideology has turned rights into
needs, services into social markets, citizens into clients. Today we
urgently need a chang,e giving space to a solidarity economy and to
common goods based upon the social cohesion and the economic justice,
on local communities and citizens. A return to solidarity and common
goods is an essential priority for an alternative economy.

Chaired by
Sandro Bergantin, Pax Christi Venice

Speaker
Alex Zanotelli, Combonian Missioner

WELFARE AND TAX JUSTICE

The proposals for redistribution, citizenship and social inclusion
policies


Welfare is a major achievement for society, a guarantee of a real
citizenship. Against the rhetoric of tax cuts, is it possible a tax
policy based on equality, legality and justice? The current analysis
within Sbilanciamoci's campaign and the other campaigns working for
social and tax justice, suggests proposals to relaunch the fiscal
tool as lever of solidarity and redistribution, supporting welfare,
rights, economic justice. Taxes can be a form of citizenship and
social cohesion, also at the global level.

VI Session

19.30-21.00 ex PLIP (Carpenedo)

ANOTHER ECONOMY IS WORKING
Experiences and alternatives from the other economy and local
development



During the last years a different economy was born. It sinks its
roots into sustainable environmental and social practices – with the
valorization of territories' resources and actors – into the local
anchorage of a grassroot development that supports innovative ways of
a solidarity economy: ethical finance, fair trade, third sector,
social cooperation. A model of self-centred development that gives
value to people and communities..

ITALY'S FUTURES
Claiming rights, the environment, and peace

Which choices Italy is called to make after one year of center-left
government? Which are the priorities of economic, financial and
social policies? Is it possible to think about a different economy
founded upon the role of the public sector, strict rules for the
market, new economic policies and fiscal justice, a Budget Law that
puts its focus on rights and solidarity, actions for disarmament and
sustainable development, welfare and environment?

EUROPE SEEN FROM CIVIL SOCIETY


The European Union is facing new challenges that are often ignored by
the national discourse, from the definition of a new constitutional
text to the elaboration of strategies for a sustainable Europe, from
the democratic participation of citizens, to the creation of
redistributive mechanism and tax justice on an international level.
The European Union is far from achieving coherence between economic
and social objectives; we want to build a Europe of solidarity and
social inclusion.
