2007-01-31 The [IMF] Committee to Study Sustainable Long-Term Financing released its report
2007 "Western social Darwinists, who include modernization and development theorists and their kindred spirits (UN agencies, human rights organizations and activists, [non-profit organizations known as nongovernmental organizations, or] NGOs, the IMF, the World Bank, the US State Department, etc) would see the possible 'advance' of the Arab world (as well as the rest of the 'underdeveloped' world) toward a Western-defined and sponsored modernity as part of a historical teleology wherein non-Europeans who are still at the stage of European childhood will eventually replicate European 'progress' toward modern forms of organization, sociality, economics, politics and sexual desires.

"What is emerging in the Arab (and the rest of the Third) World is not some universal schema of the march of history but rather the imposition of these Western modes by different forceful means and their adoption by Third World elites, thus foreclosing and repressing myriad ways of movement and change and ensuring that only one way for transformation is made possible".
-- Joseph Massad, in his book 'Desiring Arabs', 2007, pp. 49-50)
