About Global Economic Justice Forum
The new world order manifests itself in a number of ways. First, we see a concentration of wealth in the hands of a few who in turn, have the driving seats in 'democratic' governments. People's means of livelihoods are extracted and in time, obliterated, through policies and projects focused entirely on large-scale, technical solutions. We also see that globally, the poorest countries are silenced to accept conditions which keep them straitjacketed in the periphery.
Nevertheless, the institutions and governments promulgating today's dominant economic policies are powerful, but not omnipotent. When Fukuyama announced the "end of history," perhaps he underestimated the role of social movements that have emerged as a formidable counter to existing forms of institutional arrangements. In resisting the globalisation project, social movements, when organised, united and strategic can and are playing a major role in shaping alternatives and questioning the norms and values which the mainstream upholds with blind subservience.
Keeping in mind the struggle against the unjust global order, GeJF process was initiated from Bangladesh in 2006. GeJF is an open forum to accommodate different voices and perspectives on justice and sovereignty on to a common platform.

It should be remembered that the forum is neither an apex body of different campaigns, nor any kind of association of networks. This forum was formed in 2006 with a view to challenge the hegemony of neo-liberal paradigm.
