Articles by Geoffrey Pleyers
Occupy is part of a wide range of subterranean
movements that explore ways to
complement representative democracy and empower citizenship. Some citizens want
to build stronger democratic institutions: others don’t trust elected
representatives any more and promote a change that starts at a local level and
in daily life.World Social Forum 2009: a generation’s challenge
These should be good times for the "alter-globalisation" movement. The unprecedented combination of crises in the global economy, environment, and governance makes its argument for a just and equal world - "another world" - seem more relevant than ever. Geoffrey Pleyers is a researcher of the Belgian Foundation for Scientific Research at the University of Louvain (UCL) and a visiting fellow at the Centre for the Study of Global Governance, London School of Economics
