Modern world trade has its roots in colonialism and is determined by the economic interests of powerful governments and transnational corporations. Free trade is a trade policy that is supposed to bring more growth and prosperity for everyone involved. But who really benefits from it and at what cost? We examine how and why free trade came about, how trade could be made fairer and highlight movements that oppose the current world trade order.
In the name of aid, progress, growth, empowerment or sustainability, development has always had the sense of being something "good" or "positive". But poverty and inequality are outcomes of the systematic and unequal integration of "poorer" countries into the global economic structures. Learn more about this with a timeline of western development politics, its criticism and movements fighting for alternative concepts to improve and change the world.
Energy is needed in all areas of life and the demand continues to rise. A large proportion of the supply is generated from fossil fuels, whose emissions are the main cause of the climate catastrophe. What alternatives we have to deal with the demand for energy is therefore a major issue. One solution that is often discussed is the use of hydrogen. But is this really the solution? Are there other alternatives?

We analyze the root causes of current crises and demonstrate how, together, we can win for a better world for all.

It is also a resource for those who want to organize a reading course on the text.
Learn more about the topic of migration with the Atlas of Migration. Migration is not particular to any one society. Many societies around the world are a result of human mobility. A wide range of myths and racist imagery has emerged around migrants’ movements, often portraying them as threatening.
