搁茅蝉耻尘茅
[En anglais seulement] Privatization is generally presented as a technical solution for managing resources and reducing fiscal deficits, but in fact, it is an integral part of an economic and social philosophy of governance. Key international actors such as the World Bank and the IMF now promote it aggressively without regard to its human rights implications or consequences, while most human rights bodies have either ignored the phenomenon or assumed that tweaking existing procedures provides an adequate response.
The lecture will explore the ways in which human rights proponents need to fundamentally reconsider their approach to this issue.
