Abstract

The current way of life is unsustainable (Papadimitriou in The coming ‘tsunami of debt’. The Guardian.com, Sunday 15 June 2014 17.58 BST 2014) and in a bid to maintain the status quo—profit is extracted from people and the environment. The challenge of scaling up efforts to engage people in an alternative form of democracy and governance is that currently the response to social, economic and environmental challenges is that internationally politics is being shaped by so-called realist politics (Beardsworth in Cosmopolitanism and international relations theory. Polity, Cambridge 2011) based on (a) competition for resources, (b) the notion that profit and loss, win and lose is contained/carried by ‘the other’ and (c) Huntington’s ‘clash of cultures’ thesis rather than an understanding of our interlinked, co-created and co-determined fate.

As stressed elsewhere (see McIntyre-Mills 2011) rising living costs led to food riots and the so-called Arab Spring, culminating in the Occupy Wall Street Movement.

Magnay, J 2016, ‘Berlin’s push to swap failed asylum seekers’, Jan 30–31. The Weekend Australian, pp. 12 The Port of Calais could become a symbol of inhumanity and the breakdown of the nation state system where no formal services are provided to those trying to leave France en route to the UK. But the violence attributed to recent asylum seekers in Paris and Cologne has resulted in efforts to support Syrians in neighbouring countries and to return illegal migrants to Turkish camps: “In exchange, the EU would accept up to 250,000 documented asylum seekers a year from Turkish camps” Europe’s approach to Asylum seekers needs some consistency based on a priori norms and a posteriori measures of service delivery. These need to be put into place to protect displaced people and to ensure that indicators for humane responses are applied consistently.
