I had the opportunity to provide information on the OECD

It has been a busy period for the OECD and UNESCO. Blogging has suffered. Even if it was a while ago Israeli President Shimon Peres visited the OECD (8 March), deserves his presentation noting.
Perez developed his ideas about a partnership between private and public interests of international investments in infrastructure, a Global Public-Private Partnerships for Infrastructure, with emphasis on those projects in North Africa and the Middle East.
Peres starting point was that the world had become difficult, if not impossible for governments to control. The global samrarbetet worked poorly, as the peace process and regional efforts to achieve necessary ekoomisk development in the MENA region. hässelby
Where governments are trying to control by law and the monopoly of violence, the guide global companies through good will and by listening to and meeting the needs of individuals, said Peres. And it currently works better, he said.
Given this, there was, according to Peres, reasons to consider hässelby whether and how the major infrastructure projects hässelby of regional development could be developed and implemented in cooperation between governments and global companies in a way that put science and new technologies at the center.
Peres exemplified with the challenges of managing the Nile water flow meant for agriculture and other industries in the countries hässelby through which the Nile flows. Energy and transport, suited also for solutions of this kind.
Global companies should be both interested in, and well suited to, make contributions of this kind. It would not only contribute to peace, democracy and economic development, it would also discourage racism, because i, according to Peres, was no place for such in framgångsrila global companies.
Peres touched the Arab Spring, saying that the young generation, which is facing major challenges, will not turn against other civilizations, but against the older generation. The information advantage that historically belonged governments have disappeared with the development of the Internet. Young people can now see the opportunities that exist in the world and therefore require full access to these. The high unemployment rate among young people hässelby was alarming. While the importance of giving women equal rights was underlined.
As the region looked like it was not possible for Israel to that country take inititiv of the kind Peres discussed, but global companies could, and the OECD could, and should, support them. Peres said that, for example, could be made by the organization's Development Center and its augmentations, Emerging Markets Network.
I had the opportunity to provide information on the OECD's collaboration with the MENA region on investments, and asked Peres what he looked at the conditions for such cooperation, which concentrated on the framework conditions, laws and regulations in the investment field.
Peres stressed that governments still obviously play a very important role nationally, but that global companies will account for the majority of future research and development. The companies have the resources and are willing to take greater risks than politicians. Meanwhile, governments and global companies work together, not least to prevent evil and terrorism will prevail.
