Dai Dong
Dai Dong was an initiative of the Christian peace movement
organization Fellowship of reconciliation, and functioned in the
years leading up to the Stockholm Conference. They had their own
event at Graninge Stiftsgård in Saltsjö-Boo and at the
ABF building. Four groups discussed the relationship between the
environment and development, the conflicts needed to break down ideological
barriers, the environment and the military, and issues of organization
and government, with regard to the presence of great powers and large
corporations with their own agendas.
Dai Dong means Great Togetherness
in Vietnamese.
Among the participants were e.g. Samir
Amin,
Taghi
Farvar (also
important in the Oi group), Jun
Ui,
Roel van Duyn,
Bengt Hubendick and
Nicholas
Georgescu-Roegen.
