What is the post-colonial state?
The rise of new regions of power in recent decades has provoked much discussion of understanding the post-colonial state. While the global influence of the U.S. and the European Union appears to have diminished in past years, the significance of some post-colonial states, such as India and Pakistan, has consistently increased. The challenge for progressive thinkers is to formulate a theoretical model that can coherently explain the specific and general trajectories of these countries.

Today, Bolivia is at the centre of the movement for Climate Justice. That has been made possible by years of mass struggles. The "water wars" were a key moment in that history. Ten years ago the attempt to privatize water distribution in Cochabamba was met with a peoples' uprising, which surprised the world by defeating this neoliberal attack. This study group will tell the story of that movement. Subsequent study groups will examine "Extractive Industries and Bolivia's Internal Challenges" (Sunday October 17, 2 p.m.) and the "U.S. Offensive against Bolivia and the Latin American Peoples" (Sunday October 31, 2 p.m.).
