Dear compañerxs,

I thought some of you might be interested in this workshop report:
www.tni.org/files/publication-downloads/new_politics_workshop_report-1.pdf

On 13-14 February 2016, a group of researchers and activists from fifteen
countries met in Amsterdam. The aim was to jointly draft the research
agenda of the New Politics Project, an initiative promoted by the
Transnational Institute (TNI) in partnership with several other
organisations and individuals from around the world. The participants came
from social movements, trade unions, political parties, universities,
governments, public entities and research centres in Europe, the Americas,
Africa and Asia. The New Politics Project has been conceived as a
'decentralised think tank' on counter-hegemonic politics and economics that
will support the joint production of ideas to: (a) boost the development of
desirable, viable and achievable alternatives aimed at transcending
capitalism; (b) acknowledge the diversity of knowledge as a source of
inspiration for the co-creation of alternatives; and (c) promote fruitful
collaboration and exchanges among researchers and activists from different
regions of the world. The participants came from all the 'ideological
families' of the left.

Several participants in this list were engaged in the previous phase of the
New Politics Project (jointly coordinated by Hilary Wainwright and myself),
or had some contact with us. At the Amsterdam workshop we addressed issues
that have generated debates within this list, such as the state and the
commons, the current meaning(s) of labour, the new forms of social and
political activism, the experiences of the left in government, etc.

The report offers highlights from the discussions and presentations and
underlines key questions and issues to be addressed by the project’s
research agenda. There will be a second report with a summary of the agreed
workplan. Comments, criticisms and suggestions are welcome.

Cheers,

Daniel
