DESCRIPTION:Three decades on from the euphoria accompanying the end of the
  Cold War\, the collapse of the Soviet Union and the celebrated victory of
  liberal democracy and global capitalism\, we are now in a very different 
 historical conjuncture. Globalisation and liberal democracy are increasing
 ly called into question in a world of escalating but inter-linked crises. 
 These range from growing wealth inequalities\, climate emergency\, heighte
 ned geopolitical tensions and the rise of far-right populism feeding on di
 saffection by many people and places who feel increasingly economically an
 d politically marginalised. While such problems defy easy solutions\, an a
 lternative to the elite private capture of economic development agendas is
  urgently required. In this talk I focus upon the resurgence of publicly o
 wned alternatives at local and municipal levels and consider the opportuni
 ties but also constraints facing these initiatives in constructing democra
 tic alternatives for social and ecological justice.
