Forumdisc. anti-globalists and the peace move
henk - 21.11.2001 11:07

Date: Thursday November 29, 19.30 - 22.30
Location: Felix Meritis, Keizersgracht 324, Amsterdam
10 guilders entrance

After September 11, several politicians and experts have openly cast doubt on the usefulness of the United States Missile Defence plans. Terrorists it seems, operate from under the Missile Defence umbrella and not from above it.

The September 11 attack has given urgency to re-thinking security. It is now more than ever a global issue, which demands global solutions. However global security cannot be guaranteed by military power only; it demands more just international relations.

So as the ŽNew WarŽ wages on, there is a real opportunity to re-assess Missile Defence and its implications and to expose its relation to neo-liberal economic globalisation. This historic conjuncture poses a challenge to both the anti-globalisation and the international peace movements. How can these two international, socially critical movements respond? Are there options for developing common agendas?

This Forum of information and discussion is organised by the Transnational Institute (TNI), the Project on European Nuclear Non-Proliferation (PENN-NL), XminY, Attac-Nederland and the Campaign against the Arms Trade.

Introduction

After September 11, several politicians and experts have openly cast doubt on the usefulness of the United States Missile Defence plans. Terrorists it seems, operate from under the Missile Defence umbrella and not from above it.

The September 11 attack has given urgency to re-thinking security. It is now more than ever a global issue, which demands global solutions. However global security cannot be guaranteed by military power only; it demands more just international relations.

So as the ŽNew WarŽ wages on, there is a real opportunity to re-assess Missile Defence and its implications and to expose its relation to neo-liberal economic globalisation. This historic conjuncture poses a challenge to both the anti-globalisation and the international peace movements. How can these two international, socially critical movements respond? Are there options for developing common agendas?

This Forum of information and discussion is organised by the Transnational Institute (TNI), the Project on European Nuclear Non-Proliferation (PENN-NL), XminY, Attac-Nederland and the Campaign against the Arms Trade.
