Workshop: A105 How can social movements respond to the new geopolitical situation?
Today’s world is totally different from the world we knew twenty years ago. China is becoming a global power, the US try to contain this expansion, and Europe face the challenge of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Everywhere, the rise of new authoritarianism destroys democratic rights.
Today’s world is totally different from the world we knew twenty years ago, when the antiglobalisation movement emerged.
At economic level, China is now a global power that is expanding internationally through the “Belt and Road Initiative”. During the last decade, the US tried to contain this expansion with a series of military and economic alliances in Asia and in the Pacific, but the US and NATO are now confronted with the challenge of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Everywhere, the rise of new authoritarianism destroys democratic rights.
How can social movements, in Europe, Asia and in the rest of the world respond to these new challenges?
That’s the purpose of this workshop where we will invite activists and academics to exchange ideas, strategies and possibilities of campaigns.
