Panel Proposal Information

Abstract:

NATO and the G8 will be meeting together in Chicago this May. The US has used these two organizations to secure its imperial and economic domination of the world. It will convene this summit amidst economic crisis, imperial failures in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a new global resistance from the Egyptian Revolution to Occupy. This panel will analyze how the US aims to use the NATO/G8 Summit and discuss activist plans for a People’s Summit and counter-demonstrations.
