Social Capital Development
A resolution to increase free trade and commerce.
Category: Free Trade
Strength: Significant
Proposed by: The Holy Empire of Carlswelt
Description: Resolution seeks for a higher development of the culture, art and entertainment sector between member nations, as an option for a higher integration into “economies of knowledge”.
Argument:
OBSERVING that better “social capital” leads to better institutions
ASSERTING that better institutions optimize the legal framework of every nation, increase trade associations and grant higher quality of life standards,
FULLY CONVINCED that culture, art and entertainment sector development is strongly related in a positive sense with services industry sector, high-tech industries and higher “social capital” indicators,
BELIEVING that creativity may actually increase the potential of any economy by increasing value on labor force and productivity,
CONCERNED by the unequal opportunities of access of UN members to “economies of knowledge” and post-industrial economic development,
MEMBER NATIONS AGREE WITH:
1. Building better physical infrastructure (roads, rail systems, airports, optic fiber lines, satellite communications) in order to increase their population mobility, as well as better data and goods exchange.
2. Investing on IT Education programs.
3. Expanding the public libraries system in each nation.
4. Promoting arts and other creative industries as software programming, design and new media.
5. Increasing the number of interactive museums and information databases.
6. Including culture, art and entertainment industry goods to free trade agreements.
