Dear All.......

The Cop 15 round of discussion ended somewhat predictably with no
resolutions or commitments to carbon reduction, yet outside the Bella
Centre, activists from horizontal movements, N.G.Os and State
representatives from the Global South opened up a space for dialogue that
sought to challenge the power relationships implicit in the 'official
discourse'.

If 'Horizontalism' was the dominant political formation of the preceding
alter-globalisation movement, what possibilities for systemic change, if
any, does the emergent 'diagonalism' (the co-operation between state
actors, NGOs and horizontals) offer? Conversely what risks does such
co-operation pose the autonomous movements for climate justice?
With these questions in mind, we are asking for contributions to evaluate
the impact on the movements after Copenhagen. We welcome articles from
individuals, collectives, NGOs, Unions and political groups. These can
take the form of personal reflections, action reports and analysis.We also
welcome art/graphic contributions. We are going to print in the first week
of April 2010 and the deadline for copy must be March 29th. Articles must
be 2000 word maximum (although this can be negotiated). Please send
contributions to -
