Committee
on The Political Economy of the Good Society (PEGS)
PEGS is a nonpartisan, ideologically diverse nonprofit organization
that aims to promote and coordinate inquiry and discussion both inside
and outside of academia regarding possible alternative political economic
theories and new institutional designs. PEGS responds to the growing
awareness that current versions of socialism and democratic capitalism
fail to offer workable visions of a good society that can guide or
inspire progress--while their real world reflections seem increasingly
to contradict such basic values as liberty, democracy, equality, and
environmental sustainability. By encouraging the development of practical
visions of the good society, PEGS means to help create the theoretical
foundations necessary for the eventual restructuring of real world
political-economic systems to better promote and protect these values.

Corporate
Agribusiness Research Project (CARP)
The efforts by corporate agribusiness --- the traders, processors,
manufacturers, packers, shippers and sellers of the U.S.and the world's
food supply --- to remove the culture from agriculture in pursuit
of the globalized industrialization of the world's food supply and
the education of the consuming public as to who pays and who profits
from those activities, are among the many issues which the CARP seeks
to target. CARP's goal is to increase public understanding of corporate
agribusiness through awareness, education, and action in addition
to the importance of building alternative, democratically controlled
food systems. Its major objectives are: A) To show community groups
why they need to concentrate their efforts on the most significant
effects of monopoly control of corporate agribusiness: decline of
the family farm system of agriculture, the ruining of local rural
economies, job loss, high food prices, unsafe food and environmental
devastation. B) To assist rural and urban community groups in understanding
the need for corporate accountability and how corporate agribusiness
controls their economies by the buying of the raw materials they produce
and the selling of the food they consume. C) Educate and mobilize
local groups to demonstrate how they can develop their own sustainable,
democratic and alternative agricultural systems so they can effectively
bypass corporate agribusiness and economically, socially and ecologically
strengthen their own local communities |

International Rivers Network
IRN is the leading organization working to halt the construction of
destructive river development projects and to promote sound river
management options worldwide. IRN believes that the crisis facing
many of the world's rivers and riverine populations is best exemplified
by the continued proliferation of massive hydroelectric, irrigation,
water supply, flood control, channelization, and transportation projects.
These projects represent an outdated approach to river management
which limits public participation in defining river management objectives.
The old approach severely restricts access to project information
and decisions by perpetuating a bias toward large-scale infrastructure,
preempting any significant examination of alternative river and watershed
management options. One of IRN's programs is "International Finance":
The World Bank, Inter-American Development Bank, African Development
Bank and Asian Development Bank (as well as other multilateral and
bilateral aid agencies and private commercial banks), play a major
role in the promotion of inappropriate river development projects.
IRN tracks their involvement in these projects, questions their methods,
and suggests alternatives. IRN works to influence the policies and
practices of these institutions, and assists all interested parties
in procuring and interpreting official project and policy documents.
IRN works for fundamental reforms in access to information, respect
of human rights, commitment to public participation and overall approach
to river and watershed management as set forth in the Manibeli Declaration.
To reflect the breadth of problems associated with major international
lending institutions and the myriad campaigns to either reform or
abolish them, IRN produces the newsletter BankCheck Quarterly. The
newsletter is distributed to more than 1,500 NGOs around the world.
