The Global Left in a Multipolar World:
Towards a Planetary Politics of Justice and Survival

Book launch with editor Dena Freeman (Shanghai Univ) and Zhiguang Yin (Fudan Univ), Sabrina Fernandes (Alameda Institute) and Patrick Bond (UJ)

Can a transformative global left politics be advanced in the context of U.S. imperialism, a potential multipolar world and the urgent climate crisis? The era of the purely national left is over, and the 21st century global left must address the critical elements of class, imperialism, ecology and democracy in a unified way, at a multiplicity of scales from local to global.
Chapters written by leading left scholars explore different aspects of contemporary thought and practice and articulate different visions of potential global lefts, to tackle both injustices of neoliberal globalisation as well as the new threats from an advancing global right, from U.S. imperialism and from planetary ecological crisis. The Global Left in a Multipolar World injects new energy into left thinking.

in the Polycrisis - Arguments for Considering
‘Ecological Sovereignty’ in Left Internationalism

Sabrina Fernandes
Introduction
The debate over sovereignty has long been dominated by the frame of state and
national sovereignty in a competitive capitalist world order. It is a notion mobilised
by states, multilateral institutions and political powers to assert one’s autonomy,
but also dominance. Inter-state competition for resources and to secure a territory
and its borders is intertwined with the ebbs and flows of capital accumulation, so
that, under capitalism, the sovereignty of a national state is hardly ever detached
from the goal of advancing the interests of the national bourgeoisie, domestically
and abroad. Because of this, ‘sovereignty’ is the direct object of imperialist conflict. Imperialism is understood as the geopolitical imposition of one state’s socio-
economic interests over others, and is necessary to capitalism’s thirst for resources,
cheap labour, territorial expansion and the creation of new markets, especially in
times of crisis. The ubiquity of the imperialist threat dictates a rationale of sovereignty based on a game of hierarchies, where one must eat or be eaten.

Whereas the emerging powers in the region appear to be keen on reducing these dependencies, appealing to other international cooperation arrangements and important tools concerning green industrial policy or resource nationalisation, there’s still a big blindspot along the way for reducing unequal ecological exchange.

O empresário já foi alvo e mencionado em investigações da Polícia Federal e é atualmente representado pela advogada Viviane Barci de Moraes, esposa do ministro Alexandre de Moraes, em caso que corre sob sigilo no STF. De acordo com a Agência Pública, Kallas já foi representado também por Rueda & Rueda, escritório do presidente da União Brasil, Antonio Rueda, que também frequenta a Esfera Brasil.

Se parece que todos os piores empresários do Brasil, envolvidos em escândalos e negócios suspeitos, se conhecem e andam muito confortáveis em Brasília é porque é isso mesmo. É lógico, então, que não nos surpreendemos que o governador do Distrito Federal, Ibaneis Rocha, que tentou “salvar” Vorcaro e o Banco Master causando um rombo no BRB, também participa da Esfera Brasil.

Qatar's state-owned QatarEnergy (QE) has halted production of LNG and associated products following drone attacks on operating facilities in Ras Laffan and Mesaieed Industrial City, the company said today.

QE said this is a precautionary measure and it would provide updates as more information becomes available.

Polish energy group PKN Orlen said on Monday that its liquefied natural gas supplies from Qatar remained safe despite tensions in the Middle East.

The company, which is Poland’s largest oil refiner and fuel retailer, said one LNG tanker had passed through the Strait of Hormuz and was sailing along the South African coast on Sunday.

$De qualquer maneira, é importante lembrar que não existe uma oposição real ao regime dentro do Irã, enquanto fora do país a oposição é conflituosa e fraca, talvez desafiando o regime em um nível simbólico (apelos pelo retorno da monarquia), mas sem influência prática, exceto pela disseminação massiva de desinformação.$
