Desde que se declaró la Guerra contra el Terrorismo en septiembre de 2001, la política mundial se ha reconfigurado. En un momento en que el estado de guerra permanente culmina su vigésimo año, analizamos comentarios y críticas del personal del TNI y de sus investigadores e investigadoras y asociados sobre la guerra y sus consecuencias. Muchos de estos análisis han resultado ser trágicamente visionarios o incluso proféticos.
Global politics have been reshaped since the Global War on Terror was declared in September 2001. As this permanent state of war concludes its twentieth year, we look back on some of the commentaries and critiques penned by TNI's staff, Fellows and Associates on the war and its consequences, many of which proved to be tragically prescient, if not prophetic.

Since the February coup by the State Administration Council, conflict has spread in many parts of the country. In this commentary Khun Bedu explains why Karenni (Kayah) State is a critical example of political developments underway. Popular resistance is continuing.

Degrowth argues that environmental sustainability and social justice necessitate transitioning beyond growth-reliance. In order to address social and environmental issues, we have to transition towards societies that are not just smaller in size but also operate according to a different logic - a logic that is not determined by the market sphere.
Un paso importante para el gobierno actual y el propósito de terminar con el neoliberalismo y defender los recursos energéticos, sería evitar a toda costa en el TLC con la Unión Europea (TLCUEM), actualmente en renegociación, mecanismos de arbitraje supranacional y asegurar que las trasnacionales europeas se sujeten a los derechos humanos en México.
To end neoliberalism and defend energy resources, the present government of Andres Manuel López Obrador must step up and avoid at all costs the inclusion of supranational arbitration mechanisms in a renegotiated FTA with the European Union (EU-Mexico FTA), and ensure that European transnational corporations are made accountable for human rights violations in Mexico.
Je moet maar durven. Ruim 900 miljoen euro aan overheidssubsidies ontvangen en vervolgens een claim indienen van 1,4 miljard tegen de hand die je heeft gevoed. Elektriciteitsproducent RWE deed het, omdat de Nederlandse overheid per 2030 de stook van kolen voor energieopwekking wil verbieden. De actie staat symbool voor een breder probleem: marktwerking in de energiesector. Marktwerking brengt de transitie naar 100 procent duurzaam en lokaal opgewekte stroom in gevaar.
