2 The Loss of Intermediary Agencies 2

3 Bilateral Agreements 3

4 Economic Structures  Eurozone as a model for the promotion of economic welfare between unequal partners?  But economic structures have a long history of being used to promote injustice. 4

5 1. Is there an underlying power equality in these economic cooperations? 2. A Swiss model: Can a smaller neutral state offer financial value or economic services? 5

6 3. Given the long history of exploitation in the economic system, is it naive to think that the economic system can be used for establishing peace structures, or do bilateral or multilateral systems simply multiply injustices? 6

7 4. The application of political and moral pressure on citizens and especially the weak to stifle arguments and maintain economic controls: that some should be sacrificed for the “greater good”. 7

8  5. Multinational economic agreements make it harder to redress local economic injustices. ✤ Bilateral FTAs between small nations and superpowers that are negotiated and signed in secret, that bypass a nation’s democratic legislative systems, and that detract from a nation’s sovereignty by overriding local and national laws represent a high-risk proposition for the creation of peace structures. 8

9 6. Economics is the law or management (nomos) of the household (oikos): ✤ Economic structures must account for the needs of the entire household of the nation. ✤ In the household of the nation, the needs of everyone need to be considered, but a primary focus needs to be placed on those who will and already are suffering the most. ✤ Are multinational economic agreements resulting in a reduction of ownership over production and a reduction in democratic control over the economy, in a way that impacts on those who are most vulnerable and most dependent upon the economic system? 9

10 7. Are peace and justice issues being addressed at all levels: regional, national and local?  REGIONAL  NATIONAL  LOCAL 10

11 If not, this can lead to unrest, demonstrations, and violence. Are international negotiations really aimed at creating and solidifying peace structures at the local levels for ordinary citizens? 11
