	Marshall Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Soviet Union's "alternative" to the Marshall plan, which was purported to involve Soviet subsidies and trade with eastern Europe, became known as the Molotov Plan, and later, the COMECON.
		Another unofficial goal of ECA (and of the Marshall Plan) was the containment of growing Soviet influence in Europe, evident especially in the growing strength of communist parties in Czechoslovakia, France, and Italy.
		While aid from the Marshall Plan eased immediate difficulties and contributed to the recovery of some key sectors, growth from the postwar nadir was largely an independent process.

	Marshall and the Plan - Essay by Larry Bland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Marshall was not a scholar of military or political history, but he read widely and was excellent at extracting accurate lessons from his reading and from his own experience.
		Marshall was well acquainted with all the senators and congressmen and adopted his usual low-key but earnest approach to defending the policy of aid to Greece and Turkey.
		Marshall was reluctant to put too militant a public face on the U.S. response to the Greek situation lest all hope of agreement on the treatment of Germany and Austria at the up-coming Moscow Foreign Ministers’ Conference be lost.

	A Global Marshall Plan to Fight Terrorism
		The speaker was General George C. Marshall, outlining the Marshall Plan for the very first time in an address at Harvard on June 5, 1947.
		As Marshall's words so plainly suggest, finding the terrorists should be part of a much more ambitious campaign, one in which the rich countries approach the appalling inequities of the world with the same boldness and determination that the United States brought to bear in Europe in 1947 under the Marshall Plan.
		Globalization has raised expectations, even as modern communications make the rising inequality between a rich, powerful, and imposing West and the rest of the world visible to all.

	Towards Sustainable Development and Global Governance
		The problem with global governance is that the representatives of supranational organisations feel even less responsible towards the citizens than the politicians at local, regional or state levels.
		In view of the complexity of global problems and escalating tensions in the developing countries and between the developing and developed countries mutually, the situation seems to be desperate, even precarious.
		The great risk of a global Marshall Plan is that the countries which should participate in it are well-known for their great cultural, political and economic diversity, so the situation will not be as easy and clear as in democratic, and nearly culturally unified, Europe.

	Marshall Plan For the Next 50 Years - Global Policy Forum - Social and Economic Policy
		The Marshall Plan was of course constructed in a postwar world of distinct national economies in need of rebuilding.
		My plan is this: In return for the developing countries' pursuing corruption-free policies for stability, opening up trade and encouraging private investment, wealthier countries should be prepared to increase development funds by $50 billion a year: the resources needed to achieve these agreed-upon development goals.
		During the past 50 years, the Marshall Plan's European model could not be applied wholesale to developing countries because neither the economic foundations nor the necessary open and accountable systems for managing the public sector were in place to prevent corruption and waste.

	Earth in the Balance, by Al Gore (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Indeed, global warming is expected to push temperatures up much more rapidly in the polar regions than in the rest of the world.
		As a result, we now face the prospect of a kind of global civil war between those who refuse to consider the consequences of civilization’s relentless advance and those who refuse to be silent partners in the destruction.
		Global warming is no longer a distant threat; it’s as real, as clear and present an issue, with profound effects on people’s lives, as war and peace or recession and poverty--and the effects are only just beginning to be felt.

		This is a matter of an improved global structural framework, sustainable development, the eradication of poverty, environmental protection and equity, altogether resulting in a new global 'economic miracle'.
		The Global Marshall Plan considers the realization of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, which were signed by 189 nations in 2000, to be an important first step.
		The Global Marshall Plan combines a functional and coherent global governance structure with appropriate reforms and intelligent interlinking of UN, WTO, IMF, World Bank and ILO and UNEP standards with the raising of an additional 100 billion US$ a year in order to co-finance development.

		The added value of a Global Marshall Plan The Global Marshall Plan Initiative was conceived by numerous NGOs, such as the Club of Rome, the Eco-Social Forum Europe and the Global Contract Foundation, it has a strong basis both in Europe and abroad.
		Going for a new institutional design by integrating the existing global regimes is at the heart of the approach of a Global Marshall Plan and reflects the logic under which the enlargement processes of the European Union are undertaken.
		To demonstrate this common purpose, the supporters of the Global Marshall Plan Initiative would be grateful for a few sentences to enter the position paper for the UN Millennium+5 Summit to be held in New York from 14-16 September 2005.

	Conscious Choice: Fighting for a Global Green Deal
		The plan models itself after the race to the moon in the 1960s and the New Deal that President Franklin D. Roosevelt developed and applied in the 1930s to pull this nation out of the Depression.
		Three of Gore’s five "strategic goals" for the Global Marshall Plan involve international issues: stabilization of world population (another issue touched on only in passing in the Global Green Deal), new "green" international trade agreements, and a cooperative plan for educating the world’s citizens about our global environment.
		Also promising is the fact that Gore calls for periodic assessments of world progress toward the goals of the Global Marshall Plan, perhaps under the auspices of a newly created UN Stewardship Council on the Environment.

		The Global Contract Foundation is very actively involved in the Global Marshall Plan Initiative.
		Because of globalization, there are today numerous global problems in the ecological or social field which can no longer be resolved by national politics and actions.
		The Global Contract Foundation works out, on the one hand, content-based concepts on the set-up of such framework conditions and presents them to the decision makers in politics, economy and civil society.

		The name of the plan stems from the commonly held view of the Marshall Plan which was a bold strategy for helping the nations of Western Europe rebuild and grow strong enough to fend off the spread of communism after World War II in 1947.
		The Harvard professors plan, like the original, focuses on strategic goals and emphasizes actions and programs that are likely to remove the bottlenecks presently inhibiting the healthy functioning of the global economy.
		This new plan has five strategic goals, the third goal relates to the problem of overdevelopment and contends that we must establish -by global agreement- a system of economic changes that will be implemented.

		This Green Budget Germany event, organised together with the Global Marshall Plan initiative, the Umwelt-Akademie e.V. and the Gregor Louisoder Umweltstiftung, consisted of two presentations followed by a debate and questions on the topic of Global Replanning For The Environment.
		As a result, he argued, the Global Marshall Plan Initiative stresses the importance of a world-wide economic and social development plan as the only sustainable course of action for the planet in the long term.
		As the initiative’s name clearly states, this development plan is to be modelled on the US plan to save Europe from economic chaos at the end of the second world war.

	Obasanjo Urges Support for Africa 'Marshall Plan' - Global Policy Forum - Social and Economic Policy
		Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo called on fellow-African leaders Tuesday to show total commitment to a new ``Marshall Plan'' for the impoverished continent, saying it was time to put Afro-pessimists to shame.
		Dubbed Africa's ``Marshall Plan'' because it is modeled along lines of the U.S. plan for European reconstruction after World War Two, the NAI involves wide-ranging and hugely ambitious targets -- peace and democracy, education, investment and IT, communications and infrastructure.
		That prospect was underlined by the fact that the initiative's inaugural meeting was originally scheduled to take place at the United Nations in New York on Sept. 19 but was shifted after the attacks on the United States.

	A New Marshall Plan - World Watch Institute
		Far more money than for a new Marshall Plan will be spent on fighting terrorism - while ensuring ever escalating retributions, death and destruction, and nations living in fear.
		Moreover, this solution will also set a new standard for world behavior - against which all other behavior will be perceived as barbaric - and thus lift all of humanity into a vast new realm of peace and prosperity.
		What is largely missing from the administration's rhetoric is recognition of the scale of the underlying problems that have to be addressed, regardless of how successful we may be in the short run in tracking down the perpetrators of the September 11th terrorist assaults.

		In December 2000, the CIA's Global Trends 2015 report warned of instability brought on by a shortage of drinking water--"the single most contested resource on the planet," as Time.com described the CIA's findings.
		The CIA's report argued that we should increase foreign aid and investment, along the lines of the Marshall Plan, to close a growing divide between rich and poor, which would, in turn, reduce threats to the United States.
		Back in Dec. 2000, John Gannon--Chairman of the National Intelligence Council and one of the authors of the CIA Global Trends 2015 report--urged America to deal with countries that "feel they're being left behind"--thereby confronting the downside of globalization.

	AEGiS-Chicago Tribune: Marshall Plan is needed
		Most African countries were sites of proxy Cold War conflicts, and the deep fissures today in such countries as Congo, Liberia, Somalia and Sudan can be traced back to the years when Eastern and Western nations cynically pursued their interests at Africa's expense.
		The time has come for a truly global compact with Africa that requires an international pooling of resources from government agencies, non-governmental groups, universities, religious associations and business corporations to rescue the birthplace of humanity from the plagues that beset it.
		At the center of such a global partnership should be the rebuilding of institutional capacity in Africa.
