Cliff DuRand & Jerry Harris
A crisis of legitimacy has afflicted US politics for well over a decade. Belief in democracy and public trust in our political institutions has been in a long term decline. What lies behind the resulting crisis? Jerry Harris and Cliff DuRand will look at the big picture as they examine the forces that have shaped the tumultuous politics of our times. Jerry Harris is National Secretary of the Global Studies Association and author of Global Capitalism and the Crisis of Democracy. Cliff DuRand, a founder of the Center for Global Justice, recently published “Neoliberal Globalization and the Crisis of Liberal Democracy.”
What we do The Center engages in local community support and outreach to promote and advance initiatives and movements toward social justice, grassroots empowerment and democracy, and environmental sustainability. It is also devoted to critical analysis of the processes and impacts of globalization, both local and international. The Center works to develop alternative socio-economic systems that conserve and share the world’s cultural, economic, and environmental resources for the benefit of humankind.
