;`,Anne-Marie Slaughter on How Networks Can Change the World
Monday 3rd April, 7pm, Emmanuel Centre
What is happening in global affairs in 2017? The rise of populism
in Europe and Donald Trump's 'America First' policy are causing
much handwringing. The model of international cooperation and
open, win-win politics that has dominated for the last 50 years
seems to be in decline as nations turn in on themselves and
prioritise their own interests. Many of us want to oppose what's
happening but feel powerless to take practical action. What is the
concerned citizen to do?
Enter Anne-Marie Slaughter, one of America's leading foreign-
policy experts and former adviser to Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton. who is coming to the Intelligence Squared stage to share
her analysis of the current state of geopolitics and put across an
empowering vision of her own.
For Slaughter, the only way forward is to use networks. While
statecraft may be for states, webcraft, as she calls it, is for
everyone. So what does that look like? It looks like Wikipedia,
Change.org, Occupy and Black Lives Matter, all of which are peer-
driven, open and participatory, and can be created out of nothing
more than the stuff of human connection plus 21st century
technology. It looks like conscious capitalism, such as Starbucks'
pledge to hire 10,000 refugees over five years in response to
Trump's travel ban, a move that is inspiring other companies to do
the same. Or Google posting disguised anti-Isis advertisements to
prevent jihadi recruitment.
What Slaughter calls the chessboard or Game of Thrones style of
politics - the model which dominated for centuries when the great
powers struggled to advance their own interests in a deadly
competition - is enjoying a resurgence. But it doesn't have to win
out, she will claim. People who want to oppose power can stand
together and use modern technology to act at scale. In our new
world of shifting paradigms, is this an effective form of opposition
the ordinary citizen can take? Or is it pie-in-the-sky 'clictivism' that
makes people feel good but achieves little?
