Switzerland has taken offence at America.
Switzerland has taken offence at America.
For that have called it "a dangerous zone".
Perhaps, the main subject of the present World economic
Forum in Davos there were global contradictions between the North and
The south. But all has begun with small hitch in relations the North -
The north.
It is literally for some days prior to the beginning of a forum in Davos
The US State department has let out the recommendation-prevention the
To citizens not to visit east Switzerland, the canton is more exact
Graubjunden where there is a well-known resort as it "the dangerous
Zone "for health of Americans: can beat. Thereby gosdep,
As have logically counted konfederaty, has equated the Alpine
Republic to such countries, as Gyana, East Timor, Kirghizia
Or Mali, as has revolted. However the Swiss authorities have mobilised
Over three thousand soldiers and civil civil guardsmen from all
Cantons, including from friendly Liechtenstein. In
Result Davos has shown a fortified city: in empty streets
Especially entrusted carrier is few cars, only sometimes protsokaet;
At every turn, as during a curfew, ask
ausvajs; at a hall of the congresses, hotels "Belvederes" and "Davos"
Wire entanglements that reminds native Gudermes, on
Roofs - arrows. The station is enclosed by a metal fence and
It is blocked, as after capture by the risen. However, in the passed
Saturday of a train did not go at all - that cast comparison already with
Jerusalem in shabat, as both winners Nobel
Awards of the world Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat were present at Davos.
Davos - a scene of action of the great novel of Thomas Manna "Magic
Mountain ". Here in a mountain solitude the powerful concept was born
Profound comprehension of the world. Perhaps, therefore 30 years ago
Geneva professor Klaus Shvab in this silent place
Has called the first congress of the world managers (by the way, SHvab
Opened also a present meeting). Zadumka was such: easy, without
Momentary political trends to discuss mechanisms of the world
Developments. Possibly, owing to the defiantly the elite
Concepts Davos as a result became a red rag for so-called
"antiglobalizatorov". These are serious enough forces, and about them it is not enough
That is known in Russia. So, for example, in parallel VEF in the same
Place and in the same terms there has passed conference "a society Sight on
Davos-2001 ", called" Association of the non-governmental
The organisations ". In association it, by the way, 16 thousand constants,
Is members paying payments who represent almost 80 groups
Across all Europe. They support sharp restriction of influence
"The big economy on the big policy". In other words, against
Impetuous liberalisation when people entirely get under the power
(Read - dictatorship) the market, to be exact megaconcerns, and where problems
Environment by itself leave on the second plan. About hallows
Opponents of globalisation are said also by that besides in parallel
To Davos in the Brazilian city to Port Alegri has passed World
Social forum with ten thousand participants from 122 countries of the world.
Its main thought - alternative "is conservative-liberal
Hegemonies ". Filling clear sounds a little difficult, but and
The clear: human rights, poverty, child labour, gene
Technologies, environment. It is created some kind of "Social
Internatsional ", and it is already serious.
The basic subject of a present Davos forum were
Contradictions between the North and the South, in other words, between rich and
The poor. By globalisation of economy and trade the North would like
To share riches with the South. And if is even easier - to develop
Mechanisms of sharing and thus not to hurt system foundations. On
Seminars reflected on how to feed wolves and to save
Livestock of sheep. In sense of sheep the most approached by a life, as
Always, there was Bill Gates who has allocated 100 million
Dollars for struggle against AIDS. Well and about redistribution
Riches personally me has amazed stamping in the completeness
Thought: "Globalization is a dictatorship of investors". As to
Prospects of world development (one of the main things that of a forum),
Most deeply, in my opinion, it was formulated by the minister
Foreign affairs of Germany Joshka Fisher: "Without an open society
Scientifically proved economy is impossible. To think, that
stalinistskoe the society can have such economy,
It is unpromising. The creative potential of free people is necessary -
Citizens... "It is interesting, about whom it he has told?
Davos and the events connected with it once again show, that in the world
There are not always displacement of the public appreciable to some politicians
Layers. One journalist has compared modern contrasts with pictures
Well-known German expressionist Ernest Fridriha Kirhnera,
Which, being rescued from nazis, veins in Davos and which museum became
Pride of a city. In Davos paints were crossed with ideas. Davos -
Berlin.
