Build Strategic Alliances to Strengthen Popular Struggles

• One of the most important political developments in today’s world has been the emergence of new alliances within countries, and significantly, across national boundaries and across political spectrums. This has taken the form of what has been called ‘globalization from below.’ The surprising resonance that the Landless Movement (MST) in Brazil have encountered in international circles or the anti-war movement which was conferred the title of other superpower, provides eloquent testimony in favor of approaches that abandon verticalism, vanguardism, exclusivity, and political jargon, in favor of inclusiveness, the building and strengthening of civil society to guarantee our basic rights.

  The Oakland Institute is committed to this approach of cross-border organizing and ensures that each aspect of its work has both local and global connections.
