Land grabbing did not disappear when the headlines faded. Across the world, corporations, investors and states continue to reshape control over land and resources, often through quieter, normalized processes. www.tni.org/en/article/l...

🚀Just launched: THE NEW GEOPOLITICS OF FOOD💥 Food prices & hunger are rising. Crisis after crisis exposes how fragile our global food systems have become. But governments have tools to stabilise markets & reduce vulnerability. We call it resilient self-reliance. 📘 ipes-food.org/report/the-n...

This is really grim. Imagine a different world. @tninstitute.bsky.social

Tunisia’s green transition is often framed as opportunity. This report asks: opportunity for whom, and on what terms? www.tni.org/en/publicati...

Remembering is resistance. On International Day of Peasant Struggles, we honor land defenders killed for justice, connect past and present violence, and affirm memory as defiance against exploitation, dispossession, and ecological destruction. www.tni.org/en/article/c...

With land inequality deepening across the world, the ICARRD+20 held in Cartagena late February helped build a united front to democratise who has access to and controls land, reports Jun Borras of @tninstitute.bsky.social farmlandgrab.org/33423

Italy, the birthplace of fascism teaches us that fascism evolves within democracy and adapts to new economic and political conditions while preserving its core function of defending capital and hierarchy, writes @irenecrestanello.bsky.social: www.tni.org/en/article/f...

Universities in Europe have become key enablers of the continent’s border regime. Our hidden gem of the week unpacks the‘border-industrial-academic complex’ entangling academia, the security industry, and state power. By Mark Akkerman at @tninstitute.bsky.social buff.ly/Jr1WvIc

Could feminist care ethics provide a framework for listening and engaging with far-right supporters, that could build understanding, relationship and ultimately undermine fascist support? www.tni.org/en/article/i...

Authoritarianism isn’t just about institutions—it reshapes land, water, forests, and energy to entrench power and dispossess communities. In India, this has intensified under BJP rule, where extractive development aligns with Hindutva’s majoritarian vision. www.tni.org/en/article/a...

The night Brazil said no to Trump (and changed the internet forever) www.tni.org/en/article/t...

What is called Palestine’s centrality is not a hierarchy of suffering. It is where imperial power concentrates and where resistance reveals connections across struggles, making visible how liberation in one place is tied to liberation elsewhere. www.tni.org/en/article/p...

TNI Associate Researcher @dondeniamh.bsky.social travelled to Havana last month as part of an international medical aid convoy. Although exhausted by life under the blockade, Cubans are defiant, she writes in @irishexaminer.bsky.social. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Israel has branded itself as the “Start-up Nation,” projecting a glossy, tech-optimist state. This techwashing serves a fascist agenda, securing international legitimisation of the ongoing colonisation of Palestine, while inspiring authoritarian, tech-dystopias worldwide. www.tni.org/en/article/t...

In today’s global food system, migrant farmworkers remain central yet exploited. This longread details why we need strong alliances between migrants, peasants, farmers, and food sovereignty movements worldwide. www.tni.org/en/article/m...

New report: The EU paid universities more than €100 million to build Europe’s border regime Universities provide research, analysis, data and technology for border and migration control - and lend an illusion of scientific legitimacy to ethically questionable policies. tni.org/borderlabs

This webinar brings together movements and critical voices to unpack a widening war driven by US imperial power and Israeli expansion, now stretching from Gaza into Iran and Lebanon with profound consequences for the region and beyond. www.tni.org/en/event/the...

The rise of authoritarian leaders worldwide is the result of an economic and political system of neoliberalism running out of steam and unable to tackle the crises of inequality, precarity, climate collapse and social anxiety that it has created. www.tni.org/en/article/t...

We may think of today’s far right as climate deniers and fossil fuel cheerleaders with little regard for nature, but there are strands of the far right movements that link nature, territory, and identity in ways that reinforce exclusionary politics: eco-fascism. www.tni.org/en/article/t...

The current world order is cracking under the weight of corporate power, debt, and militarization. Across the Global South, movements and thinkers are asking what comes next and how international cooperation can serve peoples rather than empires. www.tni.org/en/article/t...

Morocco’s green industrial path faces structural barriers rooted in dependence and extractive growth. A transition that works begins with public investment and local control. www.tni.org/en/publicati...

Confronting border fascism requires recognising its roots in global capitalism and supporting movements that challenge racialised borders through solidarity, accountability, and collective resistance. www.tni.org/en/article/f...

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, www.elsaltodiario.com/obituario/mu...

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. www.tni.org/en/article/s...

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...

This interview was so good we made a zine version to give away today

Noor is proud to support the @tninstitute.bsky.social’s State of Power 2026 report on the rise of fascism & the far-right. The report highlights the economic, social & political forces driving far-right movements and offers insights on how we can respond. Read here: www.tni.org/en/publicati...

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. Read our State of Power 2026 opening interview with @harshawalia.bsky.social and Alberto Toscano. www.tni.org/en/article/l...

in this interview for TNI's State of Power report, I take a look at China and/in the global politics of the far right, convergence and mismatch, civilizationism and digital culture, and visions for transnational solidarity. www.tni.org/en/article/m... @tninstitute.bsky.social

🚨 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. www.tni.org/en/publicati...

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...
