Abstract: |
Neoliberal economic policies are often promoted as means of advancing democracy worldwide. However, the negotiation of these policies and their short- and long-term outcomes raise serious concerns about democratic processes and freedoms in general. The multitude of summits hosting political leaders (often joined by business representatives) are persistently confronted by demonstrators, who in turn are persistently confronted by repressive and dangerous crowd control attitudes and techniques in the name of security. |
