TNI events bring together thinkers and activists to analyse critical global issues and put forward transformative alternatives and solutions. Our focus is transnational, highlighting the global context and dimensions of different crises, as well as profiling the social movements, especially those in the Global South, that are leading struggles for justice.

    Boris Kagarlitsky and the challenges of the left today Online conference

    Ever defiant in the face of repression and a five-year jail term, Boris Kagarlitsky, Russia’s best-known socialist thinker, has just published his latest book, The Long Retreat: Strategies to Reverse the Decline of the Left.This special online conference in Kagarlitsky’s honour will address the double aspect of his contribution: his wide-ranging analysis of the left’s dilemmas in the face of multiple global crises and the advance of the far right; and his resistance — together with other persecuted anti-war activists in the Russian Federation — to the authoritarianism of the regime of Vladimir Putin.

    Multistakeholderism
    A new multilateralism for the people and the planet

    Global governance is at an inflection point. Multiple crises are affecting people and the planet: continuing and escalating wars, genocide in Palestine, increasing inequalities and wealth concentration, relentless attacks on human rights and democracy, ecological destruction and climate and biodiversity crises, collapse of public services and infrastructure, increasing levels of gender violence and food insecurity. All of these crises have at their core neoliberal globalization, transnational corporations, and unaccountable power.More recently, far-right politics has gained much ground globally and has further weakened the damaged multilateral system. This has led to the normalization of ethno-nationalist policies, denialism of science, and the polycrisis as well as to racist and sexist discourse, including hate speech against migrant and refugee people.
