Patrick Bond From WSF 'NGO trade fair' to left politics? Resumo: A mixed message - combining celebration and autocritique - is in order, in the wake of the Nairobi World Social Forum.

Samir Amin Le Forum Social Mondial est-il utile pour les luttes populaires ? Resumo: Le succès indiscutable des forums sociaux mondiaux (et des forums nationaux et régionaux), depuis leur première édition (Porto Alegre 2001) à leur septième (Nairobi, 2007) démontre que la formule répondait à un besoin objectif effectif, ressenti par beaucoup de militants et de mouvements engagés dans leurs combats contre le néo-libéralisme et les agressions (jusqu’à militaires) de l’impérialisme. Dans ces combats mouvements et militants ont beaucoup rénové leurs formes d’organisation et d’intervention active dans la société.

Todas e todos que lá estiveram possivelmente defrontavam-se com duas ordens de questões que, à primeira vista, podem até parecer opostas, mas que na realidade são constituintes do fazer histórico, ou seja, a compreensão de tudo o que já fizemos nesses breves sete anos e de tudo o que precisamos construir a cada dia para mudar a vida.
François Houtart THE WORLD SOCIAL FORUM IN NAIROBI Resumo: The World Social Forum has been organized in 2001, at a moment of full hegemony of the Neo-liberal phase of capitalism, as a counterpart to the World Economic Forum of Davos, which every year is the meeting of the principal economic powers of the world.
