    Description
    How could the Philippines, a country rich in natural and human resources, find itself by 1990 in the position of the sixth most indebted nation in the world? Rosalinda Pineda-Ofreneo traces the origins of the nation's debt crisis, and - with evidence from projects supported by Oxfam - she illustrates the social and environmental impact of the government's structural adjustment programme, showing how health and education services have deteriorated, forests have been denuded, and seas over-fished. But her interviews with members of women's groups, farmers, fisher folk, and tribal people show how some grassroots groups are finding new ways of making a living, and of making their voices heard in the political arena.

    Export search results

    The export button (to the right?) will allow you to export the search results of the entered query to a CSV file. To export the items, click the "Export" button.

    There are two options to select the items you want to export to a CSV. Either you export all results from a search query, or you select a subset of items from the search results.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" in the Export menu.

    After making a selection, click the 'CSV' button. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to 'CSV'.

    The amount of items you can export is limited, but authenticating will increase this limit.
