Democracy, power and sovereignty in today’s Europe
Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis argues that the
nation-state is dead and democracy in the EU has been replaced by a
toxic algorithmic depoliticisation that, if it is not confronted, will
lead to depression, disintegration and possibly war. He calls for a
launch of a pan-European movement to democratise Europe, to save it
before it is too late. Read the interview »

Democracy is dead: Long live democracies!
/An introduction to State of Power 2016 by Hilary Wainright./ Building a
real democracy in the face of corporate and financial power will require
a rethinking of power and agency, unleashing the creative, experimental,
knowledge-sharing and emancipatory approaches of social movements.

Davos and its danger to Democracy
We are increasingly entering a world where gatherings such as Davos are
not laughable billionaire playgrounds, but rather the future of global
governance. Read more »

Who does the World Economic Forum really represent?
TNI takes a close look at the World Economic Forum’s Board to see who
they represent, their economic interests and political beliefs. Might
this be the future of global governance? Read briefing »

A global post-democratic order <https://www.tni.org/node/22744>
Leigh Phillips
In the era of globalisation, the steady removal of decision-making from
democratic chambers by EU elites is serving as a blueprint for
post-democratic governance around the world. Progressives must be
ambitious and start putting forward ideas for a democratic world
government as a viable alternative. Read more »

Economics as ideology: challenging expert political power
<https://www.tni.org/node/22746>
Elaine Coburn
Economics often appears boring, but this narrow, mostly male dominated
profession decides on matters intimately bound up with questions of
power, democracy and vital matters of health, education, social welfare
and the environment. Meaningful democracy requires the participation of
ordinary people in economic debates, so that they can shape their own
lives in solidarity with others. Read more »

The tyranny of global finance <https://www.tni.org/node/22747/>
Walden Bello
Against all expectations, financial capital has emerged even stronger
after the financial crisis having staved off regulation and putting the
blame on public spending. But its victory is likely a pyrrhic one as a
new crisis looms, one in which the global public could learn from
victories such as reforms in Iceland and finally reassert its control
over money. Read more » <https://www.tni.org/node/22747/>
Multi-stakeholderism: a corporate push for a new form of global
governance <https://www.tni.org/node/22749/>
Harris Gleckman
The World Economic Forum’s Global Redesign Initiative is perhaps the
best reflection of how corporations and other elites envision the future
of governance. It calls for marginalising intergovernmental
decision-making with a system of multi-stakeholder governance, but what
does this mean for democracy, accountability and the rule of law? Read

Case study: nutrition and food – how government for and of the people
became government for and by the TNCs <https://www.tni.org/node/22750>
Flavio Luiz Schieck Valente
Advocating multistakeholderism in the area of food and nutrition has
been one of the main strategies for advancing a pro-corporate
agricultural agenda that results in dispossession of small-scale
farmers. Read more » <https://www.tni.org/node/22750>
“To change the heart and soul”: How elites contained the global climate
justice movement <https://www.tni.org/node/22751>
Herbert Docena
Corporate executives and climate skeptics that mobilise against strong
international climate change agreements have rightly been the focus of
attention of many people concerned about the climate crisis. But another
group of elites—those who actually believe in climate change —may
paradoxically have done more to block effective solutions to the crisis.

Precarity, power and democracy <https://www.tni.org/node/22734>
Tom George
The increasingly precarious nature of work and life poses a serious
threat to democracy as it undermines our social fabric, atomizes
individuals and seeks to personalize blame for economic insecurity. What
potential is there for ‘the precariat’ to become a new kind of social
movement with a collective vision to reimagine contemporary life? Read

Freedom technologists and the future of global justice
<https://www.tni.org/node/22730>
John Postill
In the wake of early 2010s upheavals such as the Arab Spring, Spain’s
indignados, or the global Occupy movement, many commentators were quick
to either invoke the presumed tech-savvy of ‘digital natives’ or the
purported ‘cyber-utopianism’ of net freedom advocates who supported the
protests. But what role have internet freedom activists – or ‘freedom
technologists’ – played in ongoing struggles for progressive political
change around the world and how can the pursuit of liberty be combined
with the struggle for social justice? Read more »

The open source city as the transnational democratic future
<https://www.tni.org/node/22732>
Bernardo Gutierrez
Experiences and experiments in Spain, Brazil, Istanbul and other cities
suggest that a transnational municipalism, based on concepts of an open
source city (free online tools and active citizen participation), has
the potential to regenerate democracy and build a geopolitics of the
commons against neoliberalism. Read more » <https://www.tni.org/node/22732>
Power in India: radical pathways <https://www.tni.org/node/22728>
Ashish Kothari & Pallav Das
India has strongly entrenched power hierarchies that have historical
roots but have also been exacerbated by inequalities and injustices that
have deepened with economic globalisation. However grassroots political
movements are emerging in India that could signal a gradual shift to
direct or radical democracy, coupled with making representative
democracy more accountable and ecologically sustainable. Read more »
