Fishermen, Pirates and Naval Squadrons: The Security Council and the Battle over Somalia’s Coastal Seas (February 2012)
With endorsement by the Security Council, a powerful multi-national  fleet of warships patrols the seas off the coast of Somalia to protect the shipping lanes from local "pirates." But neither the Council nor the naval powers address other serious crimes in these waters – foreign illegal fishing and the illegal dumping of toxic wastes. This GPF special report looks at how the fishing and dumping is related to the piracy and how the Security Council systematically ignores these issues, calling for further “studies” while ignoring the ample evidence. The blatant double standards at the Security Council privilege the use of force to defend commerical maritime route rather than seeking to address the root causes of the issue in a way that would benefit the Somali people.

Perpetual Crisis: A Timeline of 40 Years of Economic Instability (January 2012)
Today’s global economic crisis has been preceded by a history of constant, systemic instability. This timeline, created by Global Policy Forum’s Anahi Wiedenbrüg and Alexander Post, shows a forty year record of disequilibria, meltdowns, panics and other forms of crises, beginning in 1970. The picture it provides is of crises as a norm – far from the “equilibrium model” ordinarily taught in economics classes. There appear here, in this on-line presentation, the collapse of major firms, extreme currency speculation, real estate and financial bubbles, Ponzi schemes, and stock market meltdowns, sometimes harming hundreds of millions of people. The reader can see that as markets have become more global and as regulations have been abolished, the system has become more prone to devastating crisis on a worldwide scale.
