Entre a Palestina e o mundo: Soberania e solidariedade após a ordem
___
Welcome to Alameda Dialogues — a series of conversations on social struggles, international solidarity, and futures beyond catastrophe. In this episode, Between Palestine and the World: Sovereignty and Solidarity After Order, we turn to Palestine as a lens through which to examine the shifting terrain of global politics and the limits of the current international order.
Moving between the specific and the global, the discussion approaches Palestine not as an isolated question, but as a site that exposes deeper structural dynamics—from colonial legacies to the exercise of global power and the erosion of institutional legitimacy. Israel’s occupation of Palestine and the genocide in Gaza, carried out with the support of Western governments, have laid bare the contradictions of an international system that can no longer sustain the claims of its own champions. Taking this as a starting point, the conversation explores what is at stake in international solidarity with Palestine—not only as a question of response, but of political direction.
- What does it mean to connect struggles across different contexts without flattening their specificities?
- What forms of organisation are needed for solidarity to endure beyond moments of visibility and urgency?
- And what kind of internationalism is possible in a time marked by fragmentation, inequality, and accelerating crisis?
Rather than offering simple answers, this dialogue reflects on the relationship between sovereignty and solidarity, the limits of existing institutions, and the need to build political infrastructures capable of sustaining collective struggle over time. Featuring Yara Hawari, co-director of Al-Shabaka; Tareq Baconi, president of the board of Al-Shabaka; and Juliano Fiori, director of Alameda.
