Stephen Kinzer Zitate

During the 1990s the United States sought to impose the 'Washington Consensus' on Latin American governments. It embodied what Latin Americans call 'neo-liberal' principles: budget cuts, privatization, deregulation of business, and incentives for foreign companies. This campaign sparked bitter resistance and ultimately collapsed.

Deutsche Übersetzung

In den 1990er Jahren versuchten die Vereinigten Staaten, den lateinamerikanischen Regierungen den "Washington Consensus" aufzuerlegen. Es verkörperte das, was die Lateinamerikaner als "neoliberale" Prinzipien bezeichnen: Budgetkürzungen, Privatisierung, Deregulierung von Unternehmen und Anreize für ausländische Unternehmen. Diese Kampagne löste bitteren Widerstand aus und brach schließlich zusammen.

We have a close, unshakable bond between the United States and Israel, and between the American and Israeli people. We share common values and a commitment to a democratic future for the world, and we are both committed to a two-state solution. But that doesn't mean that we're going to agree.
