"Breakthroughs" are proposals for strategies and action that constitute a major breakthrough in a specific domain or sphere. They are extracted form the Proposal Papers written by the Thematic Workshops and Socioporfessional Networks of the Alliance in 2001. As the Charter for a Responsible, Plural and United World, the breakthroughs will be one of the central elements of debate of the World Citizens Assembly, in Lille (France) in December 2001.
