At long last, the "Days of Dissent: Reflections on Summit Mobilisations" pamphlet is available online.
Days of Dissent: Reflections on Summit Mobilisations
'London's financial centre is transformed by carnival as the G8 attempt
to meet in
Cologne, Germany. Six months down the line, the now infamous
mobilisation against
the Third Ministerial of the World Trade Organisation in Seattle
succeeds in
shutting down the Conference and inspires millions around the world.
From West
Berlin, London and Seattle to Prague, Gothenburg, Evian, Cancun and
beyond,
mobilisations against international summits have succeeded in putting
anti-capitalism back on the agenda.
Days of Dissent is a collection of
voices from within these mobilisations. Each
article is written by people who were directly involved. They attempt
to explain why
movements decided to mobilise, how they went about doing so, how the
events unfolded
and - most importantly of all - they attempt to assess what lessons can
be learned.
With the 2005 G8 Summit to be held in the UK, groups and movements
across these
islands, and from further afield, are beginning to consider what our
response should
be. In doing so, it is important that we attempt to learn from our
collective
history, from our mistakes as well as our successes. Days of Dissent is
one
contribution towards this process of reflection. Its aim is to provide
inspiration
for action.'
