4th April 2019: CALL FOR APPLICATIONS: SCHOOL OF TRANSNATIONAL ACTIVISM Debates about populism, the crisis of democracy and the backlash against globalisation are all raging. But very few people seem to be asking two essential groups of questions: in what ways is the nation-state changing and in what ways has it been surpassed? And what are the most effective political forms to find civic agency in this new context? Nation-states are not disappearing as some globalisation theorists may have suggested in other decades, but neither are they the best political forms for our future. Fearing our collective incapacity to solve global challenges, citizens retract to the known container of the nation-state; but this only makes the problem worse. What comes after nationstates and how do we get there? This is the question the School of Transnational Activism is aiming to answer.
