In 2023, far-right politicians tried the old trick of using anti-gender narratives in Guatemala to win elections, but a center-left party won. What happened and what lessons can activists draw? www.tni.org/en/article/c...
Anti gender mobilisation is moving from memes to ministries. Digital radicalisation, disinformation, and organised harassment silence dissent and shrink democratic space. Feminist movements can build counterpower through law, solidarity, and collective resistance. www.tni.org/en/article/w...
Three myths sustain the anti gender backlash.
The natural family.
The innocent child.
Demographic replacement.
These narratives redirect anger away from inequality and towards scapegoats, while coordinated networks translate panic into law. www.tni.org/en/article/w...
Far-right regimes can govern without broad popular support.
Controlling media, rewriting rules, and weakening institutions lets authoritarian capitalism run smoothly from the top.
Resistance requires fracturing capital. www.tni.org/en/article/f...
NEW: On the heels of U.S. intervention in Honduran elections, IPS joins Honduran partners and international allies to denounce a return to a system meant to maximize protections for investors to the detriment of the Honduran people. #StopISDS
Statement:
Industrialization in the Global South, from Indonesia’s mineral downstreaming to green transition agendas, reproduces dependency and green extractivism.
Industrial politics from below centers collective capacity to produce and reproduce life. www.tni.org/en/article/i...
Silicon Valley has thrown much of its support behind Trump for reasons of opportunism, appeasement or fear. But the roots for its fascist turn were laid long before by a culture steeped in racial hierarchies, jingoism, and militaristic utopian visions. www.tni.org/en/article/t...
Dear comrades from TNI,
Please find a longer note in memory and to express my gratitude to Susan George for her role in the cycle of protests against neoliberal globalization.
Friendly greetings,

The Transnational Institute mourns the sad news of the passing of Susan George.
No one has done more to shape, energize and inspire TNI over the decades – she has been our inspiration, our honorary leader, our intellectual soul, and our beloved friend.

Chinese nationalism draws on civilisational identity, security claims, and economic anxiety to justify exclusion and control. @chenchenzhang.net calls for transnational solidarity to fight all forms of reactionary nationalism: www.tni.org/en/article/m...
The far right label is not easily applied in China, yet xenophobia, militaristic nationalism, racism, and anti feminism are rising in online discourse and sometimes within the state. The global fight against fascism requires solidarity with grassroots resistance. www.tni.org/en/article/m...

Glad to have contributed to the 2026 "State of Power" of Transnational Institute with an interview on "Follow the money: The business interests behind the far-right"! 👇
Fascism doesn’t rise by accident: it’s organised through capitalism, fear, and targeted wars on migrants, drugs, and people in poverty.

🚨 LAUNCHING 🚨 State of Power 2026 🚨
Fascism and the far right are on the rise. Beyond headlines, we examine the reasons for their rise, the economic interests that support them, how they weaponise today’s social and ecological crises, and proposals for how to fight back.

There can be no future for Egypt or the region without confronting Israel as an imperial outpost, and liberation remains a collective Arab task grounded in mass action. www.tni.org/en/article/t...
There was a time when development meant self determination, public ownership, and solidarity. That vision was dismantled, not disproven. This piece reminds us why reclaiming it matters now. www.tni.org/en/article/b...
Julius Nyerere was Tanzania’s first president and a major voice in post colonial political thought. He argued that development should meet people’s needs before chasing growth. This article explains his ideas and why they’re still relevant. www.tni.org/en/article/b...
