Sinopsis: 
“A part of the march of globalization and the challenges of transnationalism, questions as to autonomy and authority and the terrains on which they operate arise. Struggles for power take place in the domains of technology, the environment and geopolitics. Meanwhile, human and universal rights are often compromised or exploited as a result of these contestations for dominance, and the most vulnerable are imperiled further still. This panel explores how the Era of Security has affected human and environmental rights to engender increasing inequalities; it then questions how to redirect this regression and create pathways to solidarity and the common good.”
