Really the Future We Want?
Civil Society Voices on Rio+20
N. Netzer, C. Detsch, A. Gross, H. Maihack, P. Oesterdieckhoff and S. Wetzig (Eds.)
The involvement of civil society actors in the Rio process is extremely important. Against this backdrop, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung hosted five regional preparatory conferences in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East / North Africa to formulate regional positions on the key topics of Rio+20. The conferences included participants from non-governmental organizations, trade unions, progressive parties, and regional organizations from 47 countries. This paper summarizes their recommendations and demands for the upcoming conference.

«Pessimism of intellect» or «optimism of will»?
Sustainable development and the role of the state
Brendan Vickers
Achieving sustainable development requires a fundamental transformation of existing power relations – economic, environmental and social – both within and between countries. The state, not the market that is narrowly profit-driven, should play the lead role in promoting sustainable development. This requires considerable investment in the state’s capacities to formulate, coordinate, implement and oversee policies and to interact strategically with business, civil society and other stakeholders.
