COSATU’s Dispute with the World Social Forum: A 20th or 21st Century Labour Internationalism?
March 2009, the South African trade union confederation, Cosatu, itself long active within - and even on the International Council of - the World Social Forum, publicly announced that it was boycotting the WSF IC due to take place in Morocco in May. This was in solidarity with the Western Sahara, which Morocco has long occupied and brutally oppresses, an occupation condemned by many African states and by much democratic opinion worldwide. The Saharawi union organisation endorsed this boycott, as did other Saharawi organisations, the Hungarian Social Forum and a Spain-based solidarity committee.
From the New Internationalisms to the Global Solidarity and Justice Movement
Working Draft of a manuscript currently being considered by a UK publisher. This compilation of papers, mostly written since 2000, represents my work since my book of 1998, 'Globalisation, Social Movements and the New Internationalisms' (London and New York: Cassell/Continuum). It follows the publication in Spanish, 2006, of 'Los nuevos tejidos del internacionalismo y la solidaridad' (The New Networks of Internationalism and Solidarity), Lima: Universidad de San Marcos. Any comments on the manuscript, or on forms of publication (or translation into other languages) are welcome.
