these People’s Visions, or Alternatives, is at the heart of a way out of the
multiple crises confronting people, states and institutions. The ecological,
debt, financial, energy and food crises, which have been caused and compounded
by the policies and practices of many governments in both rich and poor
countries and their approaches to regulation of business, have caused
increasing social polarization between peoples and states. In Asia the crises
are exacerbating poverty and inequality, already widespread before the
present crises. In Europe the crises are creating
indebtedness, joblessness and insecurity. We are increasingly experiencing
‘corporate capture’–multinational and national corporations structuring and
determining our lives and livelihoods. The responses of citizens are often at
local and national levels and to complement these, the AEPF is looking to
encourage and strengthen cooperation and solidarity of people’s networks
regionally, inter-regionally and globally.
