Interview with Dot Keet

Mrs Dot Keet, Research Associate of the Alternative Information and Development Center (AIDC), based in South Africa, attended the Stati Generali, meeting held in Rome in October 2008, to give the representatives of the civil society and the Government the opportunity to discuss international cooperation and its new challenges and frontiers.

She talked about Africa and the financial crisis, about the unfairness of the Economic Partnership Agreements and the mechanisms hidden behind them, about investments and capital outflows.
