This process has also witnessed a renewed demand for connections and circulation of struggles between diverse localities towards a new globalised dimension. Seattle, Washington, Melbourne, Prague, Nice and Porto Alegre are the laboratories where such links were explored. "debate" #6 will analyze the position of South African struggles in relation to these processes, and the possibilities for defining cross-border regional linkages. Questions that we will address include: - Who are the actors of the current wave of globalisation of resistance? Which processes of formation of subjectivity and organisation define them? - How are different social struggles in today's South and Southern Africa relating to these global dynamics? Which contents and criticisms do these struggles raise? - How is resistance against capitalist globalisation elaborated in left and working class debates in South Africa and in the region? - What are the issues and the processes through which an internationalisation of struggle and solidarity can emerge in the Southern African region? We are looking for theoretical contributions, critical inputs and analyses that show how these questions are dealt with in the daily experience of urban and rural social movements, activists and organisations. If you are interested in submitting articles, reviews, poetry or pictures, please send your contribution to "DEBATE", PO Box 517, Wits 2050, Johannesburg, SOUTH AFRICA, or via e-mail to debatesa-AT-hotmail.com. The deadline for submission is 26 MAY 2001. Articles should not be longer than 3,000 words (1,500 for book reviews).
