This paper discusses the debt issue and the movements of civil society organizations working on finding a solution to the debt problem of the south. It argues that even though civil society movements have denounced the debt burden on developing countries, effective measures have not yet been taken to solve the debt problem. Furthermore, the potential research gaps include practical consequences of debt cancellation, the mechanisms that maintain the debt problem and how these can be addressed. The report suggests that these issues be thought of within a framework of developing alternative structures for the world economy.
