ROUNDTABLE ON G8 RESISTANCE
Perspectives for the Next Phase of
Global Anti-Capitalist Uprisings
Moderated by Kriss Sol (Amsterdam);
with Hanne Jobst (Germany), Sabu & Go
(Japan), Miranda (Italy), and Jaggi
Singh (Montreal)
The G8 is more than a place where neoliberal
trade agreements are authored. It is also a
space where the legitimacy of global governance
is reproduced. In 2005, 300,000 people took to
the streets in Edinburgh to ask the G8 for a
solution to poverty. By 2007, antagonism and
dissent prevailed once again. We are entering
a period that could mark the resurgence of positive
dynamics from the earlier phase of global
uprisings. But have we learned from the past?
Can we build our interventions on new and more
stable ground?
These are the questions that guide the following
roundtable discussion with Hanne Jobst (Germany),
Sabu & Go (Japan), Miranda (Italy), and Jaggi Singh
(Montreal). The participants highlight the necessity
of rooting global insurgency in everyday struggles
and consider whether the global circulation of struggles
is enabled by continuous networks or events like summit
protests.
Kriss Sol is an Amsterdam-based activist researcher.
He has been involved in summit protests and local
organizing around global issues for several years.
