Martin Weber
Solidarist Transnational Localism
Social tensions and ecological stresses are on the rise today simultaneously. Increasing social Integration appears to depend on accelerated economic growth; and accelerating economic growth appears to hasten ecological crises. This problem is global, with distinctive local expressions; yet, today the International Institutional preconditions for coordinated responses are manifestly failing. His project surveys transnational solidarity networks that model workable alternatives.
