INVENTORY OF THE GLOBAL LEFT
[[link removed]]
_Göran Therborn_ / New Left Review (London)
This essay is an attempt to understand the context of the 21st-century
left and its innovative responses to the major challenges of the
present conjuncture: the looming climate catastrophe, the new world of
imperial geopolitics and the abysmal economic inequalities among an
increasingly interconnected humankind.

COP27 AND DREAMS OF EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION
[[link removed]]
Middle East Research and Information Project (Chicago)
As the lead-up to COP27 intensifies, tensions grow between political
repression in Egypt and the notion of a “climate just” world
espoused by campaigners and the UN. Activists have called for a show
of international action_—_in part, a simple recognition that climate
justice cannot be achieved without confronting all forms of violence,
including political repression.

Frontières (Paris)
In February Feminist Anti-war Resistance (FAS) originated in a single
chat room. By half a year of operation dozens of conversations and
groups had emerged. FAS positions itself as a decentralised
horizontal movement: all departments make decisions themselves.
Transparency is achieved through open information and communication to
all.

JUST STOP OIL [[link removed]]
BBC News (London)
Just Stop Oil describes itself as “a coalition of groups working
together to ensure the government commits to halting new fossil fuel
licensing and production.” The UK government plans to license more
than 100 new oil and gas projects by 2025. The movement first came to
attention following a series of protests in March.

_Oscar Rickett_ / Middle East Eye (London)
Protesters are still regularly taking to the streets of Gedarif, close
to Sudan's eastern border, in defiance of the military. But the
response has been brutal.

_Dae-Oup Chang_ / Asian Labour Review (Seoul)
To understand the shift toward authoritarianism and “shrinking civic
space” across Asia, it is imperative to place this phenomenon in the
context of the crisis of global neoliberalism that has brought back
authoritarian statism. This understanding on the changing nature of
global capitalist system is crucial for crystallising a new agenda for
labour movement-building from below.
