    Essays in the Theory of Capitalism and Imperialism
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1974
    Essays discussing modern U.S. capitalism and imperialism. Each chapter tries to delineate the relationship between 'economic' and 'political' processes, or at least recognize the unity between them. The unifying them is the role of the large corporations in U.S. society and the world eonomy, and the relationship between these corporations and the capitalist state.
  17. The Creation of World Poverty
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1981   Published: 1983
    Hayter challenges the assumption that the West is 'helping' the rest of the world to develop. Far from rescuing the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America from their supposed backwardness, the rich countries have accumulated vast wealth at their expense.

    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1976
    Educational tools focused on worldwide underdevelopment in a Canadian context.
  19. The Ethiopian Famine
    Resource Type: Book
    This story is the greatest single peacetime mobilization of the international community this century, told by the man who masterminded it. Jansson argues that despite some shortcomings, the UN system led to a largely effective operation which saved millions of lives. Harris and Penrose provide information essential to this and show conclusively that the eleventh hour intervention could have been avoided if the warning signals had been heeded.
  20. Exploitation
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1971
    Jenkins argues that the conventional approaches to international relations, aid and development are a sham that is all the more unforgivable because they pretend to be scientific and objective when in fact they are a series of compounded lies in defence of the status quo.
  21. Exploited Earth

    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1990

  23. Help or Hindrance?
    United States Economic Aid in Central America
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1989
    Help or Hindrance? uncovers why the economic crisis in Central America has worsened as U.S. aid has skyrocketed in the 1980s. This report shows how security and military related aid, hidden under the rubric "economic aid," has far surpassed assistance for economic development, and argues that the positions of the fiscal conservatives, seeking to save U.S. taxpayers' money, and humanitarians, seeking to help the poor, are not necessarily in opposition.
  24. How Most Aid to the Palestinians Ends up in Israel's Coffers
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2016
    While Europe may think of itself as part of an enlightened West, using aid to defend Palestinians' rights, the reality is less reassuring. The aid may actually be making things significantly worse.

  34. The Washington Connection and Third World Fascism
    The Political Economy of Human Rights: Volume 1
    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 1979
    Chomsky and Herman demonstrate, with devasting logic and overwhelming documentation, that the purpose of U.S. global policy is to make the world safe for exploitation by U.S. corporate interests and that this has required and continues to require the installation and support of brutal military/police dictatorships throught the Third World. It also requires an apologetic ideology which portrays all this as being in the highest interests of democracy and human rights.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
