Event Description
Christian Parenti, author of Tropic of Chaos: Climate Change and the New Geography of Violence and contributing editor to The Nation
Combining historical research with on-the-ground reporting, Parenti shows how the environmental crisis is colliding with the twin legacies of cold war militarism and unbridled free market economics to cause fragile nations to disintegrate into failed states. He critiques the way the countries of the Global North have responded to this dangerous new world: rather than adapt by defusing tensions and embracing cleaner forms of energy, these governments are responding with greater repression, surveillance, and a program of permanent counterinsurgency. |
