El Foro Social Mundial es la manifestación más consistente y global de resistencia contra el neoliberalismo. En él se congregan movimientos y asociaciones de los más diversos países, que actúan en distintos campos de intervención, hermanados en la lucha contra la expulsión, las desigualdades, las discriminaciones sociales y la destrucción de la naturaleza, producidas o intensificadas por la globalización neoliberal. Luchamos en nombre de la creencia común de que otro mundo es posible, un mundo más justo, más solidario y más equilibrado en sus relaciones con la naturaleza. El FSM es un fenómeno político nuevo, y este libro da cuenta de sus novedades en los dominios cultural, político y organizativo. Analiza detalladamente la evolución del FSM desde su creación en 2001, las tensiones que atraviesa y los principales desafíos a los que se enfrenta. Boaventura de Sousa Santos es profesor de Sociología de la facultad de Economía de la Universidad de Coimbra, director del Centro de Estudios Sociales y del Centro de Documentación 25 de Abril de esa misma universidad y es profesor visitante de la Universidad de Wisconsin-Madison. Además, ha participado activamente en el Foro Social Mundial y forma parte del comité institucional que lo sustenta.

This book explores the paradoxes and unique characteristics of the World Economic Forum, highlighting contemporary issues and debates on global governance, economic development and corporate social responsibility. The Forum is one of the most influential, but least understood, global institutions. Its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland and its regional summits held around the world attract a significant and powerful audience from the worlds of business, economics, politics and civil society. The participants, who include business and political leaders, representatives of international institutions and civil society organizations, academia and the media, meet to debate issues of global concern and to develop possible solutions. Forum members see the organization as an innovative venue bringing together different types of stakeholders to solve global problems. To its critics, however, the Forum’s public face conceals a private venue for making business deals. With clear and concise sections, including boxes containing key ideas and arguments, The World Economic Forum is a much needed introduction to an important and controversial organization and will be of considerable interest to students and practitioners of international business, international political economy, economics, development, international relations, and globalization.

Leading sociologist Boaventura de Sousa Santos makes an impassioned case for the politicisation of the World Social Forum, arguing that its full potential as a force for social, economic and political change can be achieved only by taking a stand against neo-liberal globalization, war, famine and corruption. However, since its inception in Porto Alegre in 2001, the World Social Forum has refused to adopt political positions on world events, preferring instead to provide a platform that facilitates cooperation between diverse social movements. Through a detailed analysis of the WSF's history and organization, he demonstrates that it has always been an inherently political organization, and argues that if the WSF is able to realise its potential as an institution for a new form of politics, it will become a global power to be reckoned with in the 21st century.

“In this informative study, Garsten and Sorbom explore both the inner workings and the communication strategies of the WEF.” —Foreign Affairs In Discreet Power, Christina Garsten and Adrienne Sörbom undertake an ethnographic study of the World Economic Forum (WEF). Accessing one of the primary agenda-setting organizations of our day, they draw on interviews and participant observation to examine how the WEF wields its influence. They situate the WEF within an emerging system of “discretionary governance,” in which actors craft ideas and entice formal authorities and top leaders to garner significant sway. Yet despite its image as a powerful, exclusive brain trust, the WEF has no formal mandate to implement its positions. It must convince others to advance chosen causes and enact suggestions, rendering its position quite fragile. Garsten and Sörbom argue that the WEF must be viewed relationally as a brokering organization that lives between the market and political spheres and that extends its reach through associated individuals and groups. They place the WEF in the context of a broader shift, arguing that while this type of governance opens up novel ways of dealing with urgent global problems, it challenges core democratic values. Praise for Discreet Power “Between raw forces of the global economy and disordered world politics lie organizations that are neither political nor economic. The World Economic Forum is central among these structures. Garsten and Sörbom give a most impressive depiction and analysis of its role—responsible but undemocratic—in what is now called global governance.” —John W. Meyer, Stanford University “This is an outstanding exemplar of a very difficult genre in the craft of ethnography: working within the highest reaches of elite organization. The challenge lies less in limited access than in not reinforcing our deep-seated stereotypes of what goes on in such groups. This work is distinguished by its observational quality and derived expression of the stakes and issues at hand.” —George Marcus, University of California, Irvine

El Foro Social Mundial permite la experimentación de una práctica política coherente con el tipo de sociedad, igualitaria y democrática, por la que luchan todos los que hoy se oponen al neoliberalismo. Irrumpió en el escenario como un viento nuevo, que asumió la horizontalidad de las estructuras en red y afirmó la presencia de la sociedad civil en la acción política. Este reencuentro con la utopía es para Chico Whitaker la razón más profunda del éxito del Foro Social Mundial. El gran desafío que el Foro enfrenta hoy es el de continuar cumpliendo su papel de “espacio abierto”, al servicio de la lucha de la sociedad para que prevalezca, en todas partes, la justicia social, la solidaridad y la paz. A través del relato de la historia del Foro Social Mundial, visto desde dentro –desde la gestación de la idea, las dificultades encontradas, las perspectivas que se abrieron, los pequeños episodios vividos durantes este camino-, este libro ofrece una visión amplia y clara de las múltiples dimensiones de esta iniciativa, que rápidamente se ha convertido en la mayor novedad política de los últimos tiempos. Chico Whitaker (1931) ha representado en el Comité Organizador del Foro Social Mundial, la Comisión Brasileña Justicia y Paz. En la década de 1950 fue militante de la juventud de la Iglesia Católica en Brasil. Formado en arquitectura, trabajó en planificación urbana y regional, fue director de Planificación de la SUPRA, organismo federal encargado de la reforma agraria en Brasil. En 1966 tuvo que exiliarse durante quince años. De vuelta a Brasil fue asesor del caaardenal arzobispo de Sao Paulo, fue concejal por el PT durante dos legislaturas, en la Cámara Municipal de Sao Paulo, y de 1996 a 2003 asumió el Secretariado de la Comisión Brasileña de Justicia y Paz.

The founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum on how the impending technological revolution will change our lives We are on the brink of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And this one will be unlike any other in human history. Characterized by new technologies fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, the Fourth Industrial Revolution will impact all disciplines, economies and industries - and it will do so at an unprecedented rate. World Economic Forum data predicts that by 2025 we will see: commercial use of nanomaterials 200 times stronger than steel and a million times thinner than human hair; the first transplant of a 3D-printed liver; 10% of all cars on US roads being driverless; and much more besides. In The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Schwab outlines the key technologies driving this revolution, discusses the major impacts on governments, businesses, civil society and individuals, and offers bold ideas for what can be done to shape a better future for all.
