When the West tried to bring countries of the Global South to its side in the conflict over Ukraine, it was surprised. Several important countries – India, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa – refused to budge, arguing that their national self-interest should prevail over the parochial interests of the Western states and that the refusal to push a peace agenda in that conflict negatively impacted the world.
This webinar – initiated by the No Cold War platform – brings together representatives of important political forces from around the world to reflect on these shifts in the global mood.
Co-sponsors: No Cold War, International Peoples Assembly, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, Pan-Africa Today, ALBA Movimientos.
